Introduction

Hou yi is a hunter, being able to deal lots of damage with abilities.
His main mechanics are the mark and riochet, who may de a little hard to aim.

Items

Transcendence : this item will give you lots of mana and raw power, and it is a core item on hou yi.
Ninja tabi: i chose this over warrior tabi because of the attack speed, both are good.
Asi: a cheap item who gives you pen, attack speed and life steal.
Wind demon: the best option before DB, it gives you movement speed and attack speed with the passive.
Titan bane: lots of pen for a cheap item.
Death Bringer: the core item on crit builds, after you build this you will be able to kill enemies with 2 or 3 shots easily (the squishies, of course)

Skills

Ricochet is the ability you will level first.
Mark of the golden crow is second.
Divebomb is your escape so it goes last.
Sunbreaker is hou yi's ultimate and deals lots of area damage, use it wisely on teamfights.
