SUN (MOBILE LEGENDS)

Sun is a stone born monkey, who was locked and unable to move under a mountain. He just watched the world changing without having any power to do something about it. He was trying so hard to break the “chain” and when he finally escaped, he just laughed at the gods and went to the Land of Dawn.

SUN’S STORY

Sun or Monkey King, is with 4 spells. Only one is a passive skill and three are casters. Summons Monkey is the passive skills and he summons a doppelganger, that grants him HP regeneration on his every attack. Golden Cudgel Strike is one of his casters, and Sun deals 120 physical dmg. In addition, he also slows the target’s movement speed by 40% for 2 seconds. His second caster is Instantaneous Move. Requires 110 mana and deals 100 physical dmg to each enemy in the area. With his ult, Clone Techniques, Sun summons 2 clones that make it so hard for the enemies to escape Sun’s hits. So, here is how to use Sun’s skills.

First, you cast his ult, then use his Golden Cudgel Strike and keep his Instantaneous Move for last. In this order, you might get penta kill! What I personally find very interesting, is that Sun is based on Monkey King from Dota 2. Basically, Sun is a copy of Monkey King. For this reason I give a big thumb down for Moonton. Below you can find the perfect gear for Sun.

SUN BUILD GUIDE

• Crazed Reaper – +65 physical damage, +300 HP and +20% attack speed
• Tough Boots – A lot of players will say, Sun is a fighter, he needs warrior boots…Yes, I agree, but what if you are playing against mage? Then you will need magic resistance to stay alive on the battleground and help your team to win the match. Therefore this item is a perfect for him and gives him +22 magic resistance and +40 movement speed
• Cursed Helmet – Increases his HP +920 and adds + 50 magic resistance. He is now untouchable!
• Heart of Steel – Adds +880 HP, +30 armor and +35 HP regeneration
• Tooth of Greed – I love this item. It’s part of the attack gear and grants him +75 physical attack and +25% lifesteal
• Ice Frost – Adds +1000 HP, +30 physical attack and slows the target movement speed by 35%

There you go. You now have a perfect item build for Sun. Just one last thing. If you think Ice Frost will not work, try to get Endless Battle. To be honest, I was thinking which one to choose, as both of them goes fine on Sun.

FRANCO (MOBILE LEGENDS)

Franco is the Mobile Legends : Bang Bang version of DotA’s Pudge. From his kit you can say that this character is a big rip off from the mother of all MOBA. And just like how we played Pudge and mastered it for years, we will apply the same concept with Franco only with items which is specifically from Mobile Legends.

As Franco, he is good in initiating a clash or zoning out the enemy carry. His kit are full of CC from hooking enemy, slowing it and disabling using his ultimate. Try to look on his ability and you will see that using it, he can be vulnerable from attacks especially his ultimate and hook. That is why the rule of a thumb in building Franco is to make it a tank that can take more punishment while dismembering the helpless victim. So your build should focus on armor, Hp, and magic resist as your core items.

Franco Item Build

You will start with crazed reaper as your first item. I like this item because it is cheap while you will get the package you need in early game such as +65 physical damage and 20% attack speed which you need for farming and +300 HP that you need for sustain and tankiness in the late game. Once you have that item, you can now build for your rapid boots that will gives you +50 movement speed. This is a rule of thumb in MOBA where you need to adapt the movement speed of other players in the game.

Now that you have the basic items for Franco you can now focus on making him a tank. We need HP and that is a fact on this build and for HP boosting-item, there is nothing more effective than Cursed Helmet and Saint’s Refuge which gives +920 HP / +50 magic resist and +900 HP / +56 magic resist respectively. Go for this item if you see that you are against mainly on magic users especially they are the biggest threat in you as you are vulnerable for burst damage.

But if the enemy team composition doesn’t have too much magic caster, you can go for Demon Wings and Brute Force Breastplate that gives HP and Armor. This is why there is no perfect build for all circumstances. Whatever character you are using, always build based on the situation you are playing. If you are too ahead of the game, you can focus on damage, if you are left behind go for defense. For defense start with either magic resist or armor depends on which character dominates from the opposing team.

ALPHA (MOBILE LEGENDS)

Alpha is a creation of biological material and space meteorolite. The scientist has created two heroes, twins. One is Alpha and the second is his twin brother Beta. On their escape, Alpha loses his brother, who got completely destroyed. The only thing Alpha could save is his brother metal arm, which now he uses as a form of an aircraft. Alpha uses 4 skills, one passive and three casters. His passive skill is Go, Beta! Everytime Alpha uses a skill, he summons Beta to attack and mark a target. After the second mark, Beta attacks the target with 180 true damage.

Rotary Impact is one of his casters. Casting this spell, he slows down the enemies on its way by 60% and deals 235 physical damage. Also, Beta kicks in dealing 95 physical damage. He then powers up with Force Swing and deals 245 physical damage. On every hit, he gets additional 5% attack speed and restores 85 HP.

Alpha’s ult is Spear of Alpha. He uses his spear to hit a target by dealing 355 physical damage. At this state, Alpha gets closer to the enemy and target’s area by dealing 205 physical damage. So, how to use his skills? First you cast Force Swing, then use Rotary Impact and keep his ult for last. The target will be in base respawning thinking what just happened there 

Here are the items he needs to be an MVP:

• Fallen Sword – Each basic attack will deal 8% of the target’s HP, with 45 additional to physical attack, +30% attack speed and +10% lifesteal
• Swift Boots – Increases his movement speed by 40 and his attack speed +15%
• Blade of Despair – This item grants him additional 15% dmg if the enemy is stunned, airborne or disabled.
• Bloodthirsty King – If you kill an enemy, or assist Alpha gets 20% HP regeneration
• Wind Chaser – Penetration
• Heart of Steel – Grants 20% critical strike rate reduction

Following this build guide will make Alpha your favorite hero for sure. Thanks to Moonton and Mobile Legends for giving us Alpha!

RAFAELA (MOBILE LEGENDS)

Rafaela is an angel capable of miraculously healing anything. It is said that when she appears, all pain suddenly vanishes, all wounds instantly heal, and all evil dispereses like rain clouds when the sun comes out. Now Rafaella has descended upon the Land of Dawn in the hopes of using her miraculous powers to restore peace to the land.

Introduction

The favorite support of most players because of her great sustain, crowd control with slow and stun, and a guarantee that he is not able to get the kill from carry (unless he is going to build with damage). Well this guide will share to you how can play Rafaela as support effectively. Seeing this hero in match will guarantee you that scoring a kill is not really either in laning or teamfight.

Pros
+Very good in sustain
+Good crowd control
+Good buffs

Cons
-Squishy compare to other support
-low mobility (aside from passive)
-focus fired in most matches

Skills

Heaven’s Blessing – Damage-dealing abilities will slow down enemies for 1.5 seconds and healing abilities will speed up allies for 1 second.

Light of Retribution – Uses the power of holy light to deal 220 magic damage to nearest three enemies.

Holy Healing – Summons holy light to regenerates 410 Hp for herself and the most injured ally near her, and also regens 100 Hp for other allied heroes.

Holy Baptism – Uses Holy Light to punish enemies before her, dealing 460 magic damage and stunning targets for 1.5 seconds.

Item Build

Enchanted Talisman – +55 Magic Power / +400 Hp / +25 Mana Regen / +20% Cooldown Reduction / Mana Sprint : A kill or assist regens 20% of hero’s Mana within 5 seconds. You need a lot of mana regen and cooldown reduction so you can spam your heal.

Magic Shoes – +40 Movement speed / 10% cooldown reduction. You need to improve your movement as soon as possible as she is low in mobility.

Dominance Ice – +500 Mana / +70 Armor / +5% Critical Strike Rate Reduction / +20% Cooldown Reduction / Artic Cold : Lowers movement speed by 5% and attack speed by 30% for nearby enemy heroes. Together with Talisman these are Rafaela’s core items. Decent armor and mana plus a very good passive that improves his low mobility and debuffs AD carry.

Oracle – +850 Hp / +36 Magic Resist / +35 Hp Regen / +%10 Cooldown Reduction / Scream : Within 4 seconds afer being attacked, teh hero will regen 4% Hp. This effect has 8 seconds cooldown time.

Saint’s Refuge – +900 Hp / +56 Magic Resistance / Refuge : every 30 seconds ge one shield that can absorb 450-1150 damage. (Shield effect increases as the battle goes on) Dominance Ice can punish AD carry attack speed so the biggest threat now in your defense are burst magic based heroes. Saint’s Refuge is a good item against them as shield can help you from burst damage as well as giving you enough magic resist.

Immortality – +800 Hp / +40 magic resistance / Rebirth : resurrect in 2 seconds after dying and get 15% HP and a shield that can absorb damage equal to 40% max HP. Shield last for 3 seconds. 180 seconds cooldown. Like what I’ve said as downside of playing Rafaela you will get focused fire most of the time so you need Immortality to improve your survival rate in battle. Keep in mind even we geared her with most of armor and magic resist, you can’t still absorb most damage from all enemy heroes as she is not natural tank. Actually even tank is still vulnerable if the enemy carry has armor penetration.

Strategy Guide

Spam your heal that is all they want from you. With Rafaela as support, most carries will play aggressively as they know they have fountain in life to support trades and some aggressive trades.

Position well so you can execute your ultimate accurately for your carries as well as your damaging abilities for crowd control.

You must think not a tank but rather a fragile hero who has unlimited sustain. Don’t go in line of fire but to remain in bush or hide yourself from being focused fire.

Communicate with your carry well. Most of your time should be spend in looking at the map to protect yourself from gank. Let the carry do the CS and you as support for utility and map awareness.

BALMOND (MOBILE LEGENDS)

As a Fighter, he deals big damage and uses his Bloodthirst skill to regen HP. Soul Lock, Cyclone Sweep and Lethal Counter are his casters.

Balmond from Mobile Legends is the fastest hero who slays enemies before you can even say “Damn”! From the previous post, you can see his skills and how to use them. But let’s get down to his build guide.

BALMOND BUILD GUIDE

When you start a Match Up mode, on the right side, under the heroes tab, you can see his Equipment Schemes. You can choose 3 different ways to play with Balmond. Continuous Damage, Burst Damage or Durability. I have tried all 3 schemes, but the best one is Burst Damage. Trust me, you will have a high score and it will need only 5 seconds to slay an enemy. Here are the items you need.
