Honor of Kings Augran Guide: Skills, Combos, Builds, and Gameplay Tips
2026-07-14
I have spent plenty of matches learning what makes Augran so dangerous. He can cross terrain, pressure several enemies at once, and survive fights that would kill most junglers. 
In this Honor of Kings Augran guide, I will explain his skills, combos, builds, and the best way to play each stage of a match. If you enjoy aggressive jungle heroes, you can also read the Honor of Kings Wukong Guide on BuffBuff.
Understanding Augran’s Skills and Passive
Augran’s passive turns his basic attack into a continuous soul chain. The chain keeps hurting the target as long as it stays connected. Its damage becomes stronger over time. That means you should not attack once and immediately switch targets. Stay close enough to keep the chain active. You can also move while attacking. Use that freedom to follow an enemy without standing still in front of their damage.
Skill 1 creates a path in the chosen direction. Augran can travel across walls and other obstacles while following it. He also gains movement speed on the path. I use this skill to enter fights from unexpected angles or chase low-health enemies. It is just as useful for escaping. Reaching the end of the path puts Augran into an enhanced state. His attacks become more threatening and can finish enemies who are already low.
Skill 2 deals area damage and slows every enemy it catches. It also marks them. The next basic attack can strike several marked targets and restore Augran’s health. Try to hit more than one hero whenever possible. The extra healing can keep you alive during a messy team fight. Casting Skill 2 before Skill 1 also makes the movement feel faster. This small trick is worth remembering when you need to cross a wall quickly.
His ultimate is the big team-fight button. Augran leaps into the air and crashes down on the selected area. Enemies take damage and get knocked back. Augran also recovers health and enters an empowered state for eight seconds. Heroes hit by the landing create spirit copies that help him attack. Hitting several enemies gives him much more value. Once you understand these parts of Augran’s skill set, his strange-looking kit starts to feel surprisingly natural.
Best Combos and Combat Strategies
The easiest Augran combo starts with Skill 1. Follow the path into the fight and use an enhanced basic attack. Cast Skill 2 to slow and mark nearby enemies. Attack again to trigger the marks and recover health. Then use the ultimate to deal area damage and disrupt the enemy formation. Keep using Skill 2 when it comes off cooldown. Save Skill 1 for your exit if the fight starts to turn.
You can change the order when you need faster movement. Cast Skill 2 first and then use Skill 1 to cross terrain more quickly. This works well against mobile enemies. It can also help you escape before their control skills land. Do not waste Skill 1 just to cover a short distance when danger is nearby. Without it Augran becomes much easier to trap.
Augran is built for long fights. He needs time to maintain his passive and trigger repeated marked attacks. I rarely rush straight at the enemy carry unless I know their escape skill is unavailable. It is often better to enter from the side. Mark several targets and let the fight develop. Use the ultimate after enemies group together or after they spend their control skills.
The early game requires patience. His jungle clear can feel slow before he gets his core items. Focus on farming and take safe ganks. Avoid forcing a fight simply because Skill 1 lets you reach it. In the mid and late game you can play more aggressively. Look for isolated marksmen and mages. Pressure them with the soul chain and use the ultimate when they are low. Good Augran players do not press every skill at once. They attack, heal, reposition, and finish the fight at the right moment.
Recommended Builds and Arcana
A semi-tank setup is the safest choice for most matches. Augran needs time to keep his passive connected and trigger his healing. A full damage setup can hit hard. It can also leave him dead before he finishes a combo. My usual Augran build starts with Giant’s Grip and Boots of Resistance. I then add Blazing Cape and Blood Rage. Ominous Premonition and Eye of the Phoenix make him much harder to remove from a fight.
Giant’s Grip  | Boots of Resistance  | Blazing Cape  |
Blood Rage  | Ominous Premonition  | Eye of the Phoenix  |
You do not have to follow the same six-item order every game. Use Doomsday when you want more damage and lifesteal. Sage’s Sanctuary is useful in the late game when one death could decide the match. Against heavy physical damage, you can add more armor. Against a strong mage, you should build magic defense earlier. Augran works best when his items answer the enemy lineup.

For a damage-focused jungle build, I use Rapacious Bite and Boots of Resistance. Axe of Torment gives him an earlier power spike. Shadow Ripper improves his attack speed. Bloodweeper adds sustain. Eternity Blade gives its attacks a stronger finish. This version is better when your team already has a reliable front line. It also works when you have teammates who can set up easy targets.

Fate, Stealth, and Void are solid Arcana choices for the tankier setup. They support his durability and help him stay active in close fights. For more damage, try Calamity, Hunt, and Eagle Eye. This setup gives him better pressure and stronger physical attacks. I still prefer the defensive page when playing solo. It gives me more room to recover from a bad engagement.
How to Play Augran in Each Stage of the Match
The early game is about patience. Clear your jungle and secure your first core item before chasing risky kills. Augran’s early clear is not the fastest. Do not fall behind by walking around the map without a clear target. Look for lanes where the enemy has already used an escape skill. Enter through a wall with Skill 1. Land Skill 2 and take the kill only if it is safe.
The mid game is where playing Augran starts to feel much better. His movement lets him reach fights from angles that other heroes cannot use. Keep an eye on objectives. Clear nearby camps before the fight begins. Then approach from the side instead of walking through the front. Try to mark several enemies with Skill 2. Use the healing to stay in the fight while your team follows up.
Augran can start a fight but he should not always be the first hero in. Wait if the enemy still has strong control available. Let your tank draw out a few important skills. Then cross the terrain and pressure the back line. Marksmen and mages are your best targets. Keep your basic attack connected and do not switch targets without a reason.
The late game is less forgiving. One bad dive can cost your team the match. Save Skill 1 when you do not know where every enemy is. It may be your only safe way out. Use the ultimate when several heroes are grouped or when the enemy carry cannot escape the landing area. The spirit copies give you much more pressure in a crowded fight.
When defending your base, stay close to your team. Augran is strong in extended battles but weak when several enemies focus on him at once. When your team is ahead, use his wall-crossing ability to control the jungle and catch isolated targets. Take objectives after winning a fight. Do not waste time chasing one enemy across the map. Good late-game decisions matter more than one extra kill.
Conclusion
Augran rewards patience more than reckless aggression. Learn when to hold his first skill and when to commit with the ultimate. Keep his passive active and aim Skill 2 at several enemies whenever possible.
I would start with a semi-tank build before trying the full damage version. Once his timing feels natural, Augran becomes a strong jungler who can chase targets, survive long fights, and control the map.
