# High Ping Playing Honor of Kings Overseas? Read This Before Changing Your Phone or Upgrading Broadband > From the official HiCN Accelerator knowledge base. https://www.gethicn.com/en/guides/fix-high-ping-honor-of-kings-overseas - Category: Article - Game / App: 王者荣耀 - Updated: 2026-10-23 - Source: https://www.gethicn.com/en/guides/fix-high-ping-honor-of-kings-overseas - Site: HiCN Accelerator (https://www.gethicn.com) ## Summary High ping when playing Honor of Kings overseas often isn't fixed by a new phone or faster broadband due to cross-border network routing. Try lowering graphics to rule out frame drops, then use a game booster like HiCN to optimize your connection to Chinese servers. New users get a 3-day free trial. ## Content The screen on your new phone looks sharper, but when playing on the Chinese server from overseas, you still experience a half-second delay after casting skills; your broadband download speed is faster, but there's no noticeable change in ping during ranked matches. First, distinguish between device frame drops and connection latency before deciding what to upgrade. If cross-border connectivity is poor, you can first download the HiCN accelerator for returning to China. New users get a 3-day free trial. Try one match after one-tap acceleration to feel the responsiveness before making a choice. It is normal for players to spend money for a smooth experience, but different upgrades solve different problems. Phone performance, local Wi-Fi, and the path from overseas to the Chinese server need to be looked at separately; you cannot expect a single purchase to eliminate all types of "lag." ![](https://files.gethicn.com/upload/image/20261023/6adb07b949067588966.png) ## Changing your phone improves visuals, but it does not shorten cross-border transmission. If the screen is visibly stuttering during team fights or the phone is overheating, device performance, temperature, and graphical load are worth checking. Reducing other high-load tasks or lowering graphics settings may be more effective than simply changing your network tool. Huawei's official support documentation for game stuttering also includes network and device-related factors in its troubleshooting scope. The settings menu varies by model, so follow the official instructions for your specific device.[Huawei Game Stuttering Support Documentation](https://consumer.huawei.com/cn/support/content/zh-cn00406924/) However, if the visuals are smooth but movement, skills, and status synchronization are always half a beat slow, even a higher-performance phone cannot make the physical distance between overseas and the Chinese server disappear. In this case, focus on the connection first to avoid replacing hardware for the wrong issue. ## Upgrading broadband increases transmission capacity, but it doesn't mean faster response times every time. Fast game downloads indicate good transmission capacity for that specific task; skill response in a match also involves latency and connection stability. Think of it with a simple analogy: the road's capacity to hold more vehicles is one thing, and how long it takes for a single vehicle to reach its destination is another. Real-world networks are more complex, but this helps distinguish between bandwidth and response time. Huawei's documentation on low latency points out that high latency affects the relationship between player input and game response.[Huawei Low Latency Documentation](https://info.support.huawei.com/info-finder/encyclopedia/zh/%E4%BD%8E%E6%97%B6%E5%BB%B6.html) Therefore, you cannot judge whether real-time matches on the Chinese server will be smooth based solely on download speed. If multiple people at home are downloading or streaming video simultaneously, or if your phone is at the edge of Wi-Fi coverage, your local network does need improvement. But before confirming these issues, there's no need to upgrade your broadband plan to the highest tier. ## Three types of upgrades: what does each solve? Solution Main Function Effects You Should Not Assume Situations to Consider First Adjusting graphics or upgrading device Improves device load and visual performance Does not reduce cross-border network latency Overheating, frame drops, stuttering during team fights Improving Wi-Fi or upgrading broadband Improves local coverage and available transmission capacity Does not shorten the path from overseas to the Chinese server Weak signal, persistent congestion on shared network Using a return-to-China accelerator Optimizes the connection for accessing the Chinese server from overseas Does not replace device performance, nor does it eliminate physical distance Local network is fine, but actions on the Chinese server are slow with connection fluctuations It's not about choosing one of the three solutions, but deciding the order based on actual bottlenecks. Address the parts that can be improved without extra spending first, then experience the corresponding solutions so you'll have a clearer idea when purchasing. ## If the local network is fine, the next step is to look at the connection to the Chinese server. Connecting to the Chinese server from overseas requires passing through cross-border networks. Transmission distance, routing detours, and line conditions can all affect latency. Performance may vary even within the same country depending on the ISP and location. Pause non-urgent downloads and syncs before starting a match, and stay in a location with a good signal. If the visuals are smooth but the network still makes actions feel slow, you can consider connection optimization for returning to China. Do not set your expectations based on screenshots from players in other regions. Path conditions in Japan, North America, and Europe differ. What matters is whether your own connection has improved compared to before and whether the entire match feels more consistent. ## Use the HiCN accelerator to experience it before deciding how much to spend. The HiCN accelerator is designed for overseas Chinese, international students, and professionals abroad, covering mobile games, PC games, media streaming, live broadcasts, and office/study scenarios on the Chinese server. To play Honor of Kings on your phone, open the client, tap to accelerate, and then enter the game. It supports intelligent routing, intelligent traffic splitting, and high-speed dual-path concurrency. Dual-path concurrency transmits data through two independent network channels to reduce jitter, making it suitable for real-time scenarios like gaming, live streaming, and video conferencing. The HiCN accelerator can keep latency fluctuations within 10%, which is a technical selling point for players who value match stability; however, you cannot infer from this that you will get fixed low latency in all regions and at all times. Supported devices include Windows, iOS, Android, and routers. Mobile players can search for HiCN in the app store; new users get a 3-day free trial. Play a match using your usual network to feel if movement, skills, and voice chat are responsive before choosing a long-term plan. Download the HiCN accelerator now, tap to accelerate, and enter Honor of Kings. Don't increase spending on phones, broadband, and network services all at once; let the actual feel help you determine your needs. ## Getting started on mobile: handle setup before the match 1.  Search for HiCN in the official app store and install the HiCN accelerator. 2.  Register and log in; new users can activate the 3-day free trial as prompted by the client. 3.  Tap the one-tap acceleration button, confirm the connection, and then open Honor of Kings. 4.  Match for a game to experience movement, skills, and voice chat before starting ranked play. If there are game updates or account prompts, follow the[official Honor of Kings](https://pvp.qq.com/)guidelines. If acceleration connection is abnormal, provide your location, ISP, device, and network type to HiCN manual customer support. If game stuttering is mainly characterized by overheating and frame drops, you should still address device load simultaneously. Acceleration is one part of the complete experience and should not be expected to solve all device issues. ## Does a higher-tier plan guarantee lower game latency? Game latency is the same for HiCN's dedicated lines and VIP memberships. The reason to consider a dedicated line is for more devices, higher bandwidth, live streaming, or custom requirements; do not assume latency will be lower just because the name sounds more premium. For standard team play, look at the VIP membership first; prices and benefits are subject to the current display on the official website or client. For router solutions, confirm model and configuration requirements first; there is no need to buy a whole new set of equipment just to play one mobile game. ## FAQ ### Why is the gameplay still slow after lowering the graphics settings? Graphics rendering and network response are different processes. Even after adjusting graphics to improve device load, you may still need to address the cross-border connection. ### The broadband speed test is fast; does that rule out local network issues? Not entirely. Wi-Fi coverage, simultaneous tasks, and connection fluctuations can still affect matches. Speed test results do not represent the game state at every moment. ### Does a new phone guarantee lower game latency than an old one? Not guaranteed. Device performance affects visuals and processing power, but network latency also depends on actual connection conditions. ### Can I continue playing in a place without signal after turning on acceleration? No. Acceleration requires a functional base network and cannot replace Wi-Fi or mobile data connections. ### Must I buy a dedicated line after the HiCN trial? No. Just choose a plan based on your daily needs and device conditions; for casual team play, you can start with VIP. Check the client for the activation and expiration time of the 3-day free trial for new users. ## Spend money where it actually affects the feel If you have high latency playing Honor of Kings from overseas, first distinguish between visuals, local network, and cross-border connection before deciding on an upgrade path. Download the HiCN accelerator immediately, activate the 3-day free trial for new users, and try a match after one-tap acceleration to let the real experience help you choose. Search for HiCN in the mobile app store, or visit the[HiCN accelerator official website](https://www.hicn01.com). For connection, device, or plan issues, contact manual customer support directly to confirm the benefits you need before purchasing.
