Here are all the skills that this hero possesses in Honor of Kings:

Raging Tide (Passive Skill): Every six seconds, Sun Ce’s next Basic Attack is enhanced, dealing an additional 110 (+60% Physical Attack) Physical Damage, and healing for 55 (+30% Physical Attack) (+3% lost Health). He also gains a stack of Undaunted (up to 10 stacks) whenever he receives Physical or true damage or when his skills hit enemies. Each stack provides a 20 boost to Physical Defense for 6 seconds.
Wave Render (Skill 1): Sun Ce dashes toward the target, inflicting 110 (+45% Physical Attack) Physical Damage to enemies along his path. Upon reaching the end, he deals 220 (+90% Physical Attack) Physical Damage and knocks back enemies for one second after a delay.
Typhoon (Skill 2): Forward movement and attacking enemies within the target area deals 180 (+70% Physical Attack) Physical Damage while applying a slowing effect. Each attack can stack up to three times, reducing Movement Speed by 30% for 2 seconds. The damage dealt increases 25% with each subsequent hit, while monsters receive an extra 40% damage from the first attack. The Basic Attack cooldown resets with each use of Typhoon.
Set Sail (Ultimate Skill): Sun Ce pilots a ship forward for 12 seconds while gaining immunity to crowd control. The ship inflicts 250 (+80% Physical Attack) Physical Damage to enemy minions and non-ancient monsters, knocking them back. Recasting the Ultimate allows him to jump out, while collisions with a wall, structure, ancient monster, or enemy hero result in an explosion dealing 250 (+80% Physical Attack) damage to nearby enemies and launching them for 1 to 1.5 seconds, reducing their Physical Defense by 15% for 4 seconds. Allies may board the ship and will disembark when using a movement skill, being hit by hard crowd control effects, or when Sun Ce jumps out.

For optimal skill upgrades, prioritize in the following order until Sun Ce reaches level 5: Typhoon (Skill 2) > Wave Render (Skill 1) > Typhoon (Skill 2) > Set Sail (Ultimate Skill) > Typhoon (Skill 2).
