Blood Axe Is The Best Item For Balmond, Alucard, Saber or Ruby

This is the Bloodlust Axe, and I will explain on how to build it, how to use it effectively and what heroes should benefit it the most.

Bloodlust Axe has gold price of 1970, the recipe contains 3 great swords which costs 250, and overall it will be 750 with a recipe price of 1220. The benefits of the item are +70 physical attack and +20% cooldown reduction and these are massive and may help the player it capitalizing on heightening its attack while managing its cooldown effectively.

Comparing to another item Tooth of Greed, Bloodlust Axe has an edge on those heroes who is active on casting spells. Tooth of Greed key point is on the hero is on a low HP, turning the tides of the battle. While Bloodlust Axe can always have the unique effect available as long as it activates the skill that hits enemies.

To use it effectively, the player must select heroes that have skills that target multiple enemies while having medium to low cooldowns, to abuse their skills even further. Heroes like Alucard, Balmond, Saber and Ruby. In my observation, Ruby seems the best hero for the new item as her skills usually contain waves and targets, multiple enemies, making the heal much effective.

It is also noticeable that this item with Tooth of Greed makes an ultimate combination of lifesteal as shown in multiple videos by YouTubers. With this new item available in Mobile Legends, this might be a turning point of the Meta. It might shift into something new.

Top, Mid, or Bot - What is the Best Lane For Your Hero?

There is no official rule in Mobile Legends when it comes to choosing the right lane for every hero, it’s just that skilled players have created such strategy, where they find their heroes more effective when choosing a specific lane.

Choosing The Right Lane

BOTLANE:

Suitable for Marksman (ADC/ADR) and Support type heroes. Main reason to go this way is to kill the Reaper, once killed it will give you an additional buff that will help you in the game, the buff will increase your physical attack and magic power by 10% and increase your speed by 15% for 2 seconds when you hit your target.

As for support type heroes, the support type goes this way to protect the marksman since it’s fragile and would need healing or support.


MIDLANE:

If you’re a high damage hero, like mage or assassin, here’s the best lane to go.
Why? The midlane is a difficult lane to gank, and is a safe zone, so it’s really the best place to squishy heroes.


TOPLANE:

Best for fighters and tankers, The toplane is an easy lane to have ganks and surviving the ganks is necessary since the support is with the bots.


So you can go your own style or follow this guide to get the most out of your hero. Just don’t forget to include the Jungler, who can help in redeem experiences, gold, and buffs for the team when the special monster like the turtle and the lord killed.

Quick Guide - How To Play Moskov

If you are an avid player of Mobile Legends then you should be familiar with how new characters excite players like you. Here’s a quick guide on how to play one of the new heroes Moskov in Mobile Legends 

Moskov is categorized under the Marksman class – meaning very mobile and offensive hero.

MOSKOV TIPS TRICKS, (c) MOBILE LEGENDS BANG BANG

Here are some main Tips and Tricks you can use for Moskov’s gameplay:


• Don’t do 1v1 fighters like Hayabusa and Alucard - Moskov’s health is a bit soft
• Aim wisely ( You can use your ult) to damage or kill enemy long range
• Positioning – has a major role for this hero, Moskov attach range is quite short so it’s best to use minion waves to reach his enemies in long range.
• For team fights - Stay behind the team and make sure to use minion waves to initiate followed by using ult to cause more damage to the enemy.


So here’s the drill in using Moskov’s Skill:


Moskov has 4 skills you can play with starting with Spear of Quiescence which is a passive skill that can penetrate targets.

The other 3 are all casters, the Abyss Walker helps him to teleport which can be used to be nearer a target to cause more damage or use as an escape when he’s low in hp.

Next caster is the Spear of Death, he can use this to stun an enemy for the first 2 seconds.

Lastly, his ult the Spear of Destruction – which can cause massive damage towards an enemy.

• Spear of Death – stun enemy first
• The use Abyss Walker if the enemy tries to escape
• If the stun works perfectly then hit it with the Spear of Destruction and its game over for the enemy.

Mobile Legends: Top 12 Tips & Techniques You Need to Know

First things first, when I look for good players, I don't only look at win rate. I also look at gold per min and KDA, which then gives me a solid indicator of how good a player is. I'd say 5 KDA+ is a solid player that you can be doing with.

However, I'm not here to talk to you about doing, more of how to climb by yourself. It's a bit of a long read, and if you're genuinely trying to climb, it's well worth it.

If you find yourself playing mages often (Raf, Eudora, and Alice mainly), it will be harder to be ahead of the game, due to how much damage you'll be taking and how little your DPS is.

Thus, their roles are a little bit different. For example, a good Raf would always keep up lane pressure, meaning that they see opportunities to poke and force recalls.

On the flip side, Eudora would want to have a safer laning phase, racking up as much EXP/Gold as possible for the late game.

Tips and Techniques to Master 

1. Farming is KEY. No matter what ELO you're in, don't ever waste too much time in lane. Jungle or stealing opponents jungle whenever you've cleared lane minions or have time.
   
   The same thing goes another way, make sure you aren't jungling when lane minions are crashing your tower. If you can master this, you can climb to Legend+ no problem. I'd recommend taking Retribution if you want to, works wonders up until Epic or so.
   
2. Pings are useful, use it often.
   
3. Look at the mini-map whenever you aren't fighting, it takes awhile to get that down, though.
   
4. Know when to roam. This is another key tip that all solo queue players NEED to know. If you're top lane and you see mid-lane minion wave about to crash into the tower and no one's defending it, quickly clear your wave and rush to mid lane.
   
   This way, the EXP and Gold isn't "lost." If you see someone pushing wave or attacking the tower, you can also try and gank them, especially if they're an immobile hero. This also comes with experience on what to do.
   
5. BE AWARE OF THE SITUATION. For example, you see your opponent missing from lane? Chances are, they're taking jungle or roaming around.
   
   Quickly shove the minion wave into the tower so they'll lose out on Gold and EXP. Another option is to signal "Gather" to where you think they're farming, to either steal the jungle or to initiate a winning fight.
   
   There are countless ways to handle the scenario, it just comes with experience on what you should do. This also applies to Turtle and Lord, you can easily check if they're taking it by scrolling the mini-map, as it shows the animations.
   
6. If you sincerely believe that you are better than the majority of the players you play with, take in charge. Make the calls of grouping up or split pushing.
   
   This works best if you're already carrying your team, as they will be more likely to listen to you. Inversely, listen to whoever's carrying your team thus far, because chances are they're better than you.
   
   Obviously, if they make a really dumb call, use your own judgment on whether or not you should follow.
   
7. Stop typing, unless you need to inform your team of your strategy. There's no need to type in ALL chat either. If you REALLY want to win, sometimes you just need to ignore the chat.
   
   I know I'm personally guilty of this, but try to resist the temptation to report back.
   
8. Master a few heroes, and keep spamming them over and over. If you believe that you play really well on Alucard, keep playing him until you reach a rank where you can't seem to climb anymore. I'd say master 3 heroes and that's it.
   
9. Play meta heroes. The heroes that I currently believe are meta includes Fanny, Kaguya, Chou (not sure after nerf, though), Hayabusa, Mino, and Clint.
   
   Obviously, there are a few others, but this is the solid foundation to start with and build up on. The only exception is that it's hard to carry with Mino, so he isn't great in solo queue.
   
10. Use Purify on almost all of your games. There are some exceptions, though, such as Fanny (which you can take Ret instead) or Chou/Mino (taking Blink).
    
    Even if you go purify on them, though, you'll still do very well. As you go up the ladder and reach a competitive level, you can then start experimenting other skills to see what fits you the most.
    
11. Tilt is another factor that plays a role in how you're performing. I know personally for a fact that I will tilt after losing 2 games in a row.
    
    If you feel as though you aren't playing in top shape, take a break, and come back to ML later. Know your limit, play within it.
    
12. Know when to team fight and know when not to. Unless your team composition is based around team fights, why would you group and face head to head when you're losing? Sometimes, split-pushing would be a better option.

7 Effective Ways To Counter Franco's Hook

People complain about Franco all the time, and I just don't get the fuss. It's not hard not to get hooked - better to keep distance until you have minions. 

You should only really be getting hooked if you are moving between turrets and he just happens to grab you from a bush.

Let's have a discussion,  these are some tips on how to counter Franco are both beloved (ally) and hated(enemy) hero.

1. Go Tanky - Franco hooking up Mino will be a suicide.

2. Purify - I can't count the number of times this ability had saved my life.

3. Use your skills - Miya's 3rd skill came to my mind.

4. Keep moving - We know eventually, he'll target you up but let's make his life harder first by not staying on one spot.

5. Creeps - Use your creeps to hide.

6. Allies - I usually use Rafaela and had saved my allies life a lot of time when they got hooked. I usually use my ult to stun Franco then 2nd skill to speed-up both of us from escaping.

7. Nana - Aside from tanks, she's the only monster that I know that can make Franco's life a hell.

Him hiding in the bush is very common and I think this is the majority of the reason why someone is being hooked. Another reason I can think of if there's a clash your looking at finishing off the other hero the Franco appear and just hooked you up.

Tell us your thoughts/strategy on how to counter Franco's hook below. Thank you.
