Honor of Kings Best Junglers Tier List (August 2026)

Updated on 2026-08-04: Six climb-first junglers locked for Season 15 solo queue: Fang, Augran, Agudo, Dian Wei, Nakoruru, Menki.

Climb rule for this list: pick the hero you can play on autopilot. A clean 55% on a simple kit beats a 40% on a hero with an eight-hit combo.

#1 Fang — ranged assassin pressure

Fang was built as a marksman. In jungle she plays like a ranged assassin. Skill 2 dashes forward, makes her untargetable for a beat, and slows the path. Her ultimate drops a blade zone that traps enemies so your team can walk in.

Once her core item is online, she deletes a squishy from near-full health in one rotation. Pros keep bending drafts to fit her for that reason. Keep distance. Use Skill 2 to leave as often as you use it to enter. Wait for the window. Do not force every fight.

#2 Augran — default first pick or first ban

Augran is the best investment on this list for Grandmaster climbs. Season 15 meta reads put him as the only S-tier jungler on several mid-2026 boards: he clears fast, wins early duels, and frontlines after glass assassins drop off. Check role shifts on our Honor of Kings Patch Notes: Buffs & Nerfs | July 2026 page when the next balance drop lands.

His clear stays healthy, so you rotate without constant recalls. His passive locks a target and punishes anyone who stays in range. Farm early, hit the spike, then decide who dies next. Skip chase into dash or blink heroes. If he is banned, move to Agudo or Dian Wei.

#3 Agudo — underrated clear and lane pressure

Agudo fights with Furball. The kit stays simple: no 20-step rotation. Her passive swaps Recovery for Release, so you free camps for bonus gold and set up faster invades. Clear speed sits near the top of the role, which means you hit lanes while other junglers finish their first camp.

Skill 2 rolls through enemies with a knock-up. Ultimate sends Furball into a location to break a clump. Let Furball own the chaos. You control the fight from a safer angle. Burst divers (Musashi-style) delete her if she stands alone without the companion.

#4 Dian Wei — easiest fighter for macro climbs

Dian Wei is the easiest jungler on this page to learn. Skills cleanse crowd control and stack attack plus range, so long fights favor him. You spend mental energy on when to fight and when to farm, not on flashy tech.

He spikes late. Force fights before core items and you throw the lead. Farm first. Once items come online, few heroes want a fair 1v1 into him around Tyrant or Overlord.

#5 Nakoruru — clean backline deletes

Nakoruru is one of the easiest assassins for new Honor of Kings players. Engage with ultimate, chain skills, leave. Target selection is the skill that matters once core items finish: marksmen and mages who step away from their tank.

Dive a full peel stack and you feed. Wait until the backline separates, delete the target, reposition before the rest of the team reacts. Peel heroes and hard CC answer her if you ignore cooldown windows, so skip first-picking her into Diaochan or Fang. Track dive and peel buffs on our Honor of Kings Patch Notes: Buffs & Nerfs | July 2026 page before you lock her.

#6 Menki — draft flex that ties the team together

Menki climbed back after recent updates. He is a fighter-to-tank hybrid whose win condition is build choice. Full damage when your draft already has frontline. Semi-tank when nobody soaks hits. Same combo, different job.

On semi-tank you stop playing main character. You absorb, secure objectives, and create space. Read the draft before the first big item. Start Season 15 Menki jungle with Rapacious Bite into Pure Sky / Deepfrost Siege, then add defense when the enemy drafts dive.

How to Climb Grandmaster With These Junglers

1. Step 1: Lock two mains from the table, not six. Pair Augran with one backup (Agudo, Dian Wei, or Fang) so bans never strand you.

2. Step 2: Clear on a timer. Hit level 4, look at the lane with the least escape, then contest Tyrant when a side wave crashes.

3. Step 3: Play the hero’s spike. Fang and Nakoruru need the first core item before they dive. Dian Wei farms through early skirmishes. Augran and Agudo can force earlier if the invade is free.

4. Step 4: Build for the draft. Menki is the teaching tool here; take the same habit onto every flex fighter. Clash players on your team may want a different tempo, so skim the Florentino Clash guide when your side lane asks for setup.

How to Get More Value From Jungle Climbs

• Ban Augran if you refuse to play him. Leave him open and expect the enemy to take him.

• Keep one durable pick (Augran / Agudo / Menki semi-tank) and one burst pick (Fang / Nakoruru) so drafts stay flexible.

• Drill pathing in practice for 10 minutes before a ranked block. Macro beats item theory when you still miss camps.

FAQ

What is the best jungler in Honor of Kings right now?

Augran. Season 15 lists him as the only S-tier jungler on multiple mid-2026 reads because he clears fast, wins early 1v1s, and stays useful as a frontliner after the map slows down. Ban him or take him.

Which Honor of Kings jungler is best for beginners?

Dian Wei for pure simplicity. Agudo if you want fast clears with a companion doing half the work. Nakoruru if you want an assassin with a short combo.

Is Fang good in jungle?

Yes. Fang jungle turns a marksman kit into a ranged assassin: untargetable dash, burst rotation, ultimate lockdown. She carries hard after her core item and dies to one hard CC if you stand still.

What do I play when Augran is banned?

Agudo or Dian Wei for a durable climb. Fang or Nakoruru if the enemy backline is soft and your team already has frontline.

How many jungle heroes should I main for Grandmaster?

Two. One default, one ban insurance. Six comfort picks sound nice; two heroes you play without hesitation win more Diamond-to-Grandmaster series.

Conclusion

These six Honor of Kings best junglers cover the climb: Augran when he is open, Fang for burst, Agudo for underrated clear, Dian Wei for simple macro, Nakoruru for clean deletes, Menki when the draft needs flex.
