Does PingAim work with Arena of Valor on PC?
Yes. On PC, Arena of Valor runs through GameLoop (Tencent's official Android emulator). PingAim targets aow_exe.exe — the GameLoop process that carries actual game network traffic — and routes it through your chosen connection. Tencent's ACE anti-cheat operates inside the Android emulator environment and does not conflict with PingAim's Windows network-layer routing.
Why is my RoV or AoV ping high even with fast internet?
Internet speed and gaming ping are separate things. High ping in Arena of Valor is caused by your ISP's route to the Garena regional server, not download speed. In Thailand, the RoV server is in Bangkok — your ISP's path there might go through extra exchange points, adding 30-80ms over the theoretical minimum. Even 100 Mbps broadband gives 120ms ping if the routing is inefficient. Mobile 4G/5G often takes a different, faster path to Garena's servers and may outperform home broadband during peak hours.
What is a good ping for Arena of Valor?
Under 60ms is smooth competitive play — skills fire on tap, kiting feels natural, ability chains land as intended. 60-100ms is playable but you'll notice slight delays on burst combos and escape dashes. Above 100ms causes visible input lag where abilities fire after you tap them. Above 150ms the game typically shows a lag warning in the HUD and gameplay becomes unreliable for ranked matches.
Can I use a VPN or network optimization tool with Arena of Valor without getting banned?
Yes. Thai, Vietnamese, and Filipino players routinely use network tools to reduce ping to Garena's servers. Tencent ACE monitors game client integrity, not how your network packets are routed. PingAim routes traffic at the Windows network level without touching the game client or emulator — fully compatible with ACE.
Why does RoV ping spike during evening hours in Thailand?
Evening peak hours (roughly 7-11 PM local time) are when residential ISP networks are most congested. Your ISP's capacity to the Garena Thailand server is shared by more users simultaneously, increasing latency and jitter. Practical solutions: switch to mobile data (4G/5G has separate capacity from fixed-line broadband), schedule downloads to off-peak times, or use phone tethering via USB as a dedicated gaming connection routed through PingAim.
Is Arena of Valor the same game as Honor of Kings?
No — they are related but separate games with different hero rosters and balance. Arena of Valor was originally adapted from Honor of Kings (王者荣耀) for international markets, but the two games have diverged significantly. Honor of Kings has since launched globally as its own title. Both are developed by TiMi Studio Group (Tencent), but use separate servers, separate accounts, and have different hero pools and meta balance.
