Hoyoung is the longest-reaching hero in the game at 5 range, and his arrow always picks the farthest enemy — so he hits the back line while your front line holds. His shot scales on Crit and on rank, which makes him one of the few heroes where a rank up changes the ability itself and not only the stat sheet.

What does ranking a hero up actually do?
Rank B unlocks the specialization. Rank A adds a class upgrade. Rank S adds a second class upgrade and a fourth item slot. A hero below rank B cannot take a specialization at all.
Can a hero play outside its class?
Yes, and that is the point of the game. Specializations exist to pull a hero out of its class role. A Mage can end up as the damage carry, a Vanguard can end up generating shards.
