General

Notes Heartseeker is a very solid choice to replace The Crusher in the late game once your full build is done, but build The Crusher first always as it is cost effective. You can also build Qin's Sais before Odysseus' Bow if you feel you need it, but I usually go Odysseus' first as it is cheap and helps Hou Yi's mediocre wave clear.

Hou Yi's Skill Order Notes Can also focus Divebomb second instead of Crow; it's a more aggressive choice for very confident players as it is your escape and also lessens the need to hit the 2+1 combo, but in general, Crow second is the better choice.
