Mobile Legends: Bang Bang - 14 Best Marksman Heroes, Ranked (5)

Highlights

  • Marksman heroes in Mobile Legends: Bang Bang are crucial for overall combat strength, with their long-range DPS capabilities and ability to take down turrets and enemy heroes.
  • Mastering the art of long-distance combat with Marksmen can greatly contribute to a team's success in the game, but players must be mindful of their vulnerabilities and utilize their skills strategically.

Among hero roles in Mobile Legends: Bang Bang, the Marksman is one of a team's most important assets when it comes to securing overall combat prowess. Their innate access to long-distance DPS makes them more than qualified to take down Turrets and even enemy heroes from the safety of range, with their squishy nature making them prime targets for ganks so they don't ever gain momentum across a match.

Mobile Legends: 14 Beginner Tips For The MOBA You Need To Know

Mobile Legends is a go-to mobile game for MOBA lovers. These tips should help beginners get started on their journey.

However, players who want to master the art of long-distance combat can appreciate the many Marksmen in the mobile MOBA. In Mobile Legends: Bang Bang, its best Marksmen have toolkits that allow them to deal massive damage, obliterate enemies at a distance, and even tailor-fit their arsenal to specific situations.

Updated on June 19, 2024, by Rhenn Taguiam: With Mobile Legend’s Project NEXT for June 2024 revealing new equipment and even teasing a new Mage known as Zhuxin, fans of the mobile MOBA might be interested in how the arrival of the new hero can mix things up in the overall meta, especially in the context of team-ups and potential rivalries. With Mages usually assigned to the Mid Lane, their powerful control and utility skills can pose trouble for glass cannons like Marksman. Thankfully, there are several ways to counteract this, with must-tries such as a long-distance expert, a mobile attacker, a stack-based attacker, and even a burst specialist being fine examples.

14 Hanabi

Unleash Devastating DPS With Sustainable Shield

Mobile Legends: Bang Bang - 14 Best Marksman Heroes, Ranked (7)

Specialty

Finisher, Damage

Passive

Ninjutsu: Petal Barrage - Basic Attacks and Skills release Petal Blades that bounce up to 4x on enemies. This inherits some Attack Effects, and damage decreases per subsequent Petal Blade.

Skill 1

Ninjutsu: Equinox

  • Passive: Get CC Immunity upon getting any Shield.
  • Active: Get 300-600 (+40% Total Physical Attack) Shield for 5s, with Hanabi getting +20% Movement Speed, 25% Attack Speed, and 20% Damage-added-to-Shield.

Skill 2

Ninjutsu: Soul Scroll - Launch an Energy Kunai that deals 450-600 (+80% Total Physical Attack) Physical Damage to enemies in the trajectory. Inflicts -60% Movement Speed for 1s to enemies hit. Petal Barrage hits now deal 30-180 (+100% Total Physical Attack) Physical Damage.

Ultimate

Forbidden Jutsu: Higanbana - Throws Higanbana into the direction, dealing 300-500 (+50% Total Physical Attack) Physical Damage and 0.8s Immobilize to the first enemy hero. After 1s, Higanbana blooms in the attack zone and deals 300-500 (+50% Total Physical Attack) Physical Damage to nearby enemies. Subsequent hits get 20% Damage Decay.

When players see Hanabi brandishing the large shuriken Higanbana, they might think the MOBA character is an Assassin instead of a Marksman. Surprisingly enough, this Scarlet Flower of the Scarlet Sect is among the best glass cannons of the role, especially with how she can easily decimate enemies when properly built towards the late game as long as she survives encounters. Hanabi is a team-fight specialist, courtesy of her Crowd Control immunity with Ninjutsu: Petal Barrage (Passive) and her shield regeneration with Ninjutsu: Equinox (Skill 1).

Should players find a way to mitigate her extremely low durability through boosting her Lifesteal in the early game, Hanabi becomes a frontline juggernaut. Inflicting constant stuns to enemies with Ninjutsu: Soul Scroll (Skill 2) can slow them enough for other team members to pummel them to their deaths, while the heavy AOE of Forbidden Jutsu: Higanbana can decimate the battlefield, especially when other CC effects keep enemies in Hanabi’s vicinity.

13 Lesley

Dominate Extra Long-Distance Combat

Mobile Legends: Bang Bang - 14 Best Marksman Heroes, Ranked (8)

Specialty

Finisher, Burst

Passive

Lethal Shot: Not taking damage for 5s gives her Basic Attack range boost and +50 (+100% Total Physical Attack) True Damage boost (with +20% Extra against Minions). Each 1 Physical Penetration acquired is converted into 0.5% Critical Damage, but base Critical Damage gets -140%. Basic Attacks now restore 5 Energy, while Lethal Shot doubles Energy stored. Cooldown is reset whenever Lesley uses a Skill.

Skill 1

Master of Camouflage: Lesley enters a Camouflage state for 3s (unless she attacks or is attacked), gaining 2x Energy Regen, +40% Extra Movement Speed, and +85-135 Physical Attack.

Skill 2

Tactical Grenade: Throws a Tactical Grenade to a direction while jumping back, dealing 150-300 Damage to enemies while knocking them back. This can be cast to cancel Ultimate Snipe and immediately fire a Lethal Bullet at the target (provided there is at least 1 Lethal Bullet Left).

Ultimate

Ultimate Snipe

  • Active: Gets vision of nearby enemies that can be locked on, firing 4 Lethal Bullets that deal 250-350 (+80% Extra Physical Attack (+5% Lost HP of Enemy) Physical Damage, restoring 10 Energy on hit. Can be blocked by other heroes. Interrupting this Skill will reduce CD by 10% per Lethal Bullet left.
  • Passive: +5 to 15% Critical Hit Chance

Among Marksmen in Mobile Legends, Lesley holds the reputation of never letting a target out of her sights. Designated in the lore as the Mysterious Black Sniper of House Vance, Lesley is the faraway protector of her adventurous younger brother Harley. Despite this innocent mission, Lesley has the reputation of being the most dangerous sniper in the game. When used properly, a fully-kitted Lesley can nigh-obliterate any target with Ultimate Snipe (Ultimate) that always hits the target unless another enemy takes the hit for them.

Outside her Ultimate, Lesley is built as a long-distance assassin capable of getting the upper hand in engagements usually safe for enemies. Getting a range boost with Lethal Shot (Passive) allows Lesley to engage enemies from further away while enjoying more damage the longer she stalks her prey, something made possible by staying invisible via Master of Camouflage. Lesley can even escape dangerous fights with the back-jump and enemy knockback of Tactical Grenade (Skill 2).

12 Wanwan

Outmaneuver Enemies For Consistent Damage

Mobile Legends: Bang Bang - 14 Best Marksman Heroes, Ranked (9)

Specialty

Finisher, Burst

Passive

Tiger Pace: Basic Attacks deals (+110% Total Physical Attack) Physical Damage. Enemies hit will be revealed for 5s, and being hit by Wanwan in this duration will result in an extra 67 (+3x Hero Level) True Damage and get +10% Extra Damage for 5s. In this state, Wanwan can dash a short distance (Attack Speed scaled) per Basic Attack.

Skill 1

Swallow’s Path: Throws a Fire Swallow that triggers Passive while also dealing 120-220 (+40% Total Physical Attack) Physical Damage to enemies in the path. The Fire Swallow transforms into 3 rotating Swallow Daggers before flying back to Wanwan, each dealing 60-120 (+65% Total Physical Attack) to enemies on their way, while inflicting +30% Slow for 1.5s. Enemies hit by the Dagger twice get 0.5s Immobilize.

Skill 2

Needles in Flowers: Removes all CCs and triggers Passive. Deadly Needles are cast in all directions, dealing 150-250 (+60% Total Physical Attack) Physical Damage to enemies hit.

Ultimate

Crossbow of Tang:

  • Passive: +20-40% Creeps Damage per Ultimate Upgrade.
  • Condition: Target an enemy hero affected by Passive.
  • Active: Wanwan becomes Invincible, Untargetable, and gets +100% Movement Speed. Attack a target enemy hero with arrows for 2.5s, each dealing 60-90 (+35% Total Physical Attack) Physical Damage per arrow. A target killed this way will have Wanwan switch to another nearby target, get +30% Attack Speed, and extend the Ultimate duration by 1s. Wanwan can activate Passive after killing an enemy hero or after the duration of the Ultimate. Damage is considered as Basic Attack, and firing rate scales with Attack Speed.

Thanks to her lineage as part of a family of weapon crafts, Wanwan uses her arm crossbows with her sheer talent for speed and mobility that earned her the title of Agile Tiger of the fabled Oriental Fighters. In Mobile Legends gameplay, Wanwan compensates for her early game weakness with ridiculous endgame scaling coupled with excellent mobility to outmaneuver foes. This is especially possible with her Tiger Pace (Passive), which helps her dodge attacks while gearing up for a counter-attack.

Wanwan also has a tool for every occasion, with her Swallows’ Path (Skill 1) allowing her to clear bushes for ganks and useful slows. She can reposition to ensure Skill 1’s extra attacks damage enemies further, while Needles in Flowers (Skill 2) ensures she is never crowd-controlled for too long. Wanwan can initiate comebacks and enemy team-wipes with her Crossbow of Tang, especially when her Untargetable state can help her chase foes who try to escape.

11 Brody

Destroy Enemies With Damage Stacking

Mobile Legends: Bang Bang - 14 Best Marksman Heroes, Ranked (10)

Specialty

Burst, Finisher

Passive

Abyss Corrosion: Basic Attacks can be wound up at the cost of longer Animation and lower Attack Speed, but they now deal (+45 x Hero Level) (+140% Total Physical Attack) Physical Damage, give +30% Movement Speed (decays in 1.2s), and gives 1 Abyss Mark on the enemy (capped at 4 Stacks, lasts for 8s).

Skill 1

Abyss Impact: Shockwaves are launched in the designated direction, dealing 150-550 (+170% Total Physical Attack) Physical Damage and 1.2s 30% Slow while applying 1 Abyss Mark. Each enemy hit by the shockwave gets +5% Slow, +10% Damage, and 1 Abyss Mark. This Skill has a 130% Damage cap, 45% Slow cap, and 4 Abyss Mark stack limit on the final target. Minions only receive 80-100% Damage.

Skill 2

Corrosive Strike: Dash to an enemy and deal 200-350 (+70% Total Physical Attack) Physical Damage to targets, inflicting 0.8s Stun and +1 Abyss Mark. After hitting an enemy, Brody can move in the same direction with 45% Movement Speed (decays in 1.2s).

Ultimate

Torn-Apart Memory: Locks-on all targets within 8 yards, dealing 340-580 (+180% Extra Physical Attack) Physical Damage to them. All Abyss Mark bearers get 136-232 (+72% Extra Physical Attack) (+Target’s 4-6% Lost HP) Physical Damage per stack. Damage done this way will reset Abyss Mark stacks.

The Lone Star Brody takes advantage of stack-based mechanics to achieve high damage numbers, allowing him to easily dominate the early game with boosted DPS that can obliterate other Marksmen and Assassins who are still trying to secure the advantage. Brody’s option to control his Basic Attack power and speed via Abyss Corrosion (Passive) is instrumental in his engagements, as he gets much-needed Movement Speed to reposition against attacks as needed. Meanwhile, his Abyss Impact (Skill 1) is a shockwave that is ideally used against a minion wave with a predictable enemy hero falling behind, as it deals the most damage and Abyss Mark stacks to its final target.

Brody can also use his Corrosive Strike (Skill 2) as his primary movement tool, as the free teleport towards his target can help Brody initiate team fights by containing foes or escape certain death by locking onto a faraway enemy minion. Lastly, his Torn-Apart Memory (Ultimate) uses up all Abyss Marks from enemies around him, dealing massive damage simultaneously. When initiating with Torn-Apart Memory, it’s advisable to use the Ultimate (and therefore start the team-fight) close to bushes, as the lock-on capability of the Skill practically stops gankers and Assassins from sneaking up on Brody’s team.

10 Claude, The Master Thief (And Dexter)

A Burst Duo That Relies On Basic Attacks For Building DPS

Mobile Legends: Bang Bang - 14 Best Marksman Heroes, Ranked (11)

Specialty

Burst, Chase

Passive

Battle Side-by-Side: When Basic Attacks hit, Dexter launches an extra attack that deal 20 (+35% Total Physical Attack) Physical Damage to the target. This can trigger attack effects.

Skill 1

Art of Thievery: Attack a fan-shaped area for 160 to 285 (+40% Total Physical Attack) Physical Damage, inflicting -20% Movement Speed and -10% Attack Speed. Each hit gives Claude +3% Movement Speed and Attack Speed for 6 Seconds but doubles if the target is a hero (up to 5x).

Skill 2

  • Battle Mirror Image: Leave a mirror Dexter in a location that auto-attacks enemies for 5.5 Seconds, dealing 20 (+35% Total Physical Attack) Physical Damage to the target and triggering attack effects.
  • (Use Again): Switch places with the image

Ultimate

Blazing Duet: Claude and Dexter rapid-fire at nearby enemies for 3 Seconds, dealing 100 to 130 (+10% Total Physical Attack) Physical Damage up to 2 Targets when they hit. Basic Attack effects work with this Ultimate. He gets a shield that absorbs 20 (+3% Total Physical Attack) damage, Bonus Attack Speed increases rate of fire, and Minions take 300% Damage

A master thief from the streets of Los Pecados, Claude and his trusted companion Dexter would eventually stumble upon Doctor Rooney’s special holographic mirror device to accompany them in heir heists. In his Mobile Legends gameplay, this means enjoying MOBA matches with decent attack speed and movement on top of high burst damage and carry potential. However, Claude is highly dependent on Demon Hunter Sword for damage and Skill 2 for escapes, making him vulnerable in the early game.

6 MOBAS That Are Perfect For Newcomers To The Genre

There are several multiplayer online battle arena games, or MOBAs, that cater towards newcomers, like these great examples

However, players who can bypass these limitations can transform Claude into a mid-to-late game powerhouse. Skill 1 can be a go-to attack for basic combat situations, while a fully-kitted Claude can use his Ultimate in team fights to eliminate opponents quickly. With the right combo, his Skill 1 can steal an enemy’s speed so Claude can outpace them, while his Ultimate can clear mobs and Creeps with ease to gather buffs.

9 Yi Sun-Shin, The Paenlong Legend

Dual Range Coverage Boosts Adaptability In Matches

Mobile Legends: Bang Bang - 14 Best Marksman Heroes, Ranked (13)

Specialty

Chase, Finisher

Passive

  • Heavenly Vow: Attack automatically based on distance
  • (Weapon Mastery): If weapons are swapped, get 2 Enhanced Basic Attacks where the 1st Attack deals 70% to 100% Critical Damage while the 2nd Attack deals full Critical Damage. Enhanced attack gives +20% Movement Speed for 1 Second and gives a -1 Second to Skill 1 CD
  • (Turtle Ship): After every 180 Seconds or during respawns, the base gets a Turtle Ship that can be ridden with 60% Movement Speed (decays to 21% after 8 Seconds) and improves Skill 1

Skill 1

  • Traceless (Without Ship): Dash and slash with the glaive, dealing 150 to 300 (+40% Total Physical Attack) Physical Damage with CC Immunity for 1 Second
  • Traceless (With Ship): Turtle Ship charges target, dealing 200 to 400 (+100% Total Physical Attack) Physical Damage to the first enemy and surrounding foes with 1.2 Seconds Stun

Skill 2

  • Blood Floods (Tap): Slash with the glaive, dealing 240 - 340 (+80% Total Physical Attack) Physical Damage
  • Blood Floods (Hold): Shoot an arrow, dealing 240 - 340 (+80% Total Physical Attack) Physical Damage. Damage scales with distance up to 200%, and decays per enemies hit until 40%. Holding gives -20% Movement Speed but gains Weapon Mastery

Ultimate

  • Mountain Shocker (Passive): Boost Weapon Mastery’s 1st Enhanced Attack by 10%, and 2nd Enhanced Attack by 5%
  • Mountain Shocker (Active): Launch 3 Cannon Shots to enemy locations, revealing them and dealing 150 to 210 (+50% Total Physical Attack) Physical Damage to enemies in the area. Being hit multiple times by the same wave deals 150% Damage

Inspired by the real-life Korean hero, Yi Sun-Shin in Mobile Legends lore was also a dedicated fleet leader of the City of the Dragon who stepped up to defend the land from pirates even after being demoted. Yi Sun-Shin’s MOBA gameplay transforms him into an Assassin/Marksman hybrid, allowing him to deal damage from the safety of distance or get up close and personal when needed. Thanks to his accessible kit, Yi Sun-Shin can be quite the fast farmer, especially with his Basic Attacks that always get enhanced. However, Yi Sun-Shin remains squishy as an Assassin/Marksman hybrid, making him vulnerable without core items.

However, players can maximize their gameplay with Yi Sun-Shin with the right approach. Players should keep their movement open to ensure Yi Sun-Shin naturally switches his weapons and triggers his Passive. With his Turtle Ship, Yi Sun-Shin can quickly travel to other lanes to provide support. Regardless of his distance, his Ultimate can help him contribute in team fights or even steal Lord if both sides are fighting in the area.

8 Ixia, The Arclight Outlaw

Initiator Marksman That Can Dictate The Flow Of Combat

Mobile Legends: Bang Bang - 14 Best Marksman Heroes, Ranked (14)

Specialty

Damage, Finisher

Passive

  • Siphon Starlium: Basic Attacks apply Starlium Charge when hit. Every Basic Attack with 2 Charges deal (+150% Total Physical Attack) (+200 x Lifesteal) + (10x Hero Level) Physical Damage to the target. Passive can trigger against all enemies in front of her.
  • (Others): Passive can recover HP equal to Siphon Starlium damage (only 20 [+100 x Lifesteal]) against non-heroes) but won’t critical strike.
  • (Basic Attacks): Basic Attacks no longer trigger Lifesteal.

Skill 1

Dual Beam: Fire 2 Starlium-charged beams that deal 120 to 225 (+80% Total Physical Attack) Physical Damage to enemies in a rectangle and inflicts 40% Slow to enemy heroes. Hitting a hero will bestow +40% Movement Speed for 3 Seconds, and enemies hit by both beams take 200% Damage.

Skill 2

Star Helix: Knock back nearby enemies and pull those in range to the center after 0.5 Seconds before dealing 200 to 300 (+60% Total Physical Attack) Physical Damage.

Ultimate

Full Barrage: Enter Barrage state for 4 Seconds, where Basic Attacks and skills hit enemies in a fan-shaped area. Basic Attacks can hit up to 6 enemies (hero priority) while Passive fires simultaneously.

Released as a part of the Project NEXT 2023 revamp for Mobile Legends, Ixia in the game’s lore acclimated to the harsh deserts of the Agelta Drylands with the help of her gadgets. In her MOBA gameplay, this is represented by a kit that allows her to initiate fights herself before unleashing a barrage of attacks on enemies in place. However, Ixia’s inherent squishiness makes it ideal to get into fights alone, instead becoming more of a backup initiator to secure finishes with the rest of the team in place or even finish Jungle Creeps.

An ideal strategy with Ixia is to rely on her Passive to outshine the enemy Marksmen whenever they meet, and then abuse Skill 2’s knockback with Skill 1’s slow to maintain momentum. Ixia can become a deadly opponent in team fights, especially when she uses her Ultimate and then Skill 1 and Skill 2 on squishy enemy DPS such as the Marksmen and Assassins before banking on Starlium-charged Basic Attacks to finish them off.

7 Moskov, The Spear Of Quiescence

A Multi-Target Specialist With Penetrate Attacks

Mobile Legends: Bang Bang - 14 Best Marksman Heroes, Ranked (15)

Specialty

Chase, Finisher

Passive

Spear of Quiescence: Basic Attacks penetrate targets and deal (+65% [+3% x Hero Level] Physical Attack) Critical Physical Damage to enemies behind targets while also applying attack effects. Basic Attacks also reduce the CD of Skill 1 and Skill 2 by 0.5 Seconds.

Skill 1

Abyss Walker: Teleport to the location, getting 1.15 to 1.35x Attack Speed for 3 Seconds. Basic Attacks deal +10% Damage to enemies behind the target.

Skill 2

Spear of Misery: Strike a target for 300 to 450 (+60% Total Physical Attack) Physical Damage with a knockback and reveals location for 5 Seconds. If the target collides with another enemy hero or a wall during knockback, they take 200 to 275 (+30% Extra Physical Attack) Physical Damage and get a 1.5 Second Stun.

Ultimate

  • Spear of Destruction: Throw a spear to the target, dealing 340 to 500 (+100% Extra Physical Attack) Physical Damage to enemies in the path until they reach the first enemy hero. This target is pierced and enemies behind them are hit for 10% Physical Damage and receive 50% Slow for 1 Seconds. This creates a shadow behind the first enemy hero and resets Skill 1 CD.
  • (Use Again): Moskov uses Skill 1 from the shadow’s location.

After his corruption in the Vortex, Moskov retrieved the Spear of Quiescence to become one of the fiercest Marksmen to ever grace Mobile Legends gameplay. Such is Moskov’s ferocity that he’s become a mainstay among reliable long-ranged heroes in the MOBA even with his 2017 release, all courtesy of a toolkit that punishes enemies with attack penetration and teleportation. Moskov suffers from level creep, being squishy in the early game and reliant on Jungling while avoiding Assassin ganks.

Related

Mobile Legends: Bang Bang - 10 Best Assassin Heroes, Ranked

Assassin heroes are crucial to battle victories in Mobile Legends: Bang Bang, and these are Assassin heroes players should prioritize.

However, it’s bypassing this early-game vulnerability that Moskov becomes a powerhouse in the late game. Hiding close to walls makes enemies prone to Moskov’s Skill 1, while team fights allow Moskov to maximize his penetrative potential. Tanks can lure foes in groups to arrange them neatly for Moskov’s attacks, with his Ultimate potentially tearing through enemy ranks easily with a quick Skill 1 teleport to seal the deal.

6 Beatrix, The Dawnbreak Soldier

A Highly-Adaptable Marksman With Different Weapons

Mobile Legends: Bang Bang - 14 Best Marksman Heroes, Ranked (17)

Specialty

Damage, Finisher

Passive

  • Mechanical Genius: Longshot (Renner): Deal (+360% to 535% Total Physical Attack) Physical Damage to the first target
  • Mechanical Genius: Area Bombing (Bennett): Bombard an area, dealing (+180% to 320% Total Physical Attack) Physical Damage to enemies and inflicting 30% Slow over 0.5 Seconds

  • Mechanical Genius: Rapid Fire (Nibiru): Fire a volley of 4 Shots, each dealing (+50% to 67.5% Total Physical Attack) Physical Damage
  • (All Weapons): Deal 50% Damage to Creeps. Doesn’t crit but converts Crit Chance to Physical Attack

  • Masterful Gunner (Active): Swap between her primary and secondary weapon for 0.6 Seconds
  • Masterful Gunner (Passive): Get +5 to 30 Physical Attack, carry 2 Weapons at once

Skill 2

  • Tactical Reposition (Renner): Roll forward
  • Tactical Reposition (Bennett): Leap forward
  • Tactical Reposition (Wesker): Roll sideways
  • Tactical Reposition (Nibiru): Slide forward
  • (All Weapons): Fully reload weapon

Ultimate

  • Renner’s Apathy (Renner): Aim up to 20 Seconds, deal 700 to 120 (+280% Total Physical Attack) Physical Damage to the first enemy, but damage decays to 20% if same enemy is hit multiple times
  • Bennett’s Rage (Bennett): Attack an area 5x, each attack inflicts 30% Slow and for 1 Second and deals 580 to 980 (+225% Total Physical Attack) Physical Damage to enemies hit
  • Wesker’s Elation (Wesker): Ultra bullets hit for 295 to 445 (+110% Total Physical Attack) Physical Damage when they hit the enemy, decays 25% per enemy hit multiple times but not going below 25% Damage
  • Nibiru’s Passion (Nibiru): 6-shot attack that inflicts 200 to 320 (+60% Total Physical Attack) Physical Damage per hit
  • (All Ultimates): Get 50% Physical Lifesteal but unaffected by Spell Vamp

Other

Need Backup: After escaping battle for 3 Seconds, she can choose 2 Weapons as new Primary and Secondary. Cooldown is 30 Seconds

Tech expert Beatrix could be Eruditio’s best scientist had it not been for her penchant for a more active lifestyle, where she spends much of her days lending her expertise in high-caliber weapons as a Marksman in Mobile Legends. Players who want a reliable Marksman in their MOBA gameplay could appreciate Beatrix for her playstyle versatility, although her expanded options leave her more vulnerable to controls, ambushes, and higher damage in general. Beatrix’s expanded arsenal also highly depends on her Items due to their base effects, with no options to crit.

However, players who can juggle Beatrix’s weapons can adapt to enemy strategies on the fly and get a solution to almost any situation. All weapons offer different blink options to get her out of danger, while Renner and Bennett become ideal companions for Turret destruction and ambushes. Being able to carry two weapons at once also allows her to use different Ultimates when needed.

5 Granger, The Death Chanter

Straightforward Heavy Artillery For Devastating Burst Plays

Mobile Legends: Bang Bang - 14 Best Marksman Heroes, Ranked (18)

Specialty

Burst, Finisher

Passive

Caprice: Fills gun with 6 Bullets, with the 6th Bullet dealing Critical Damage. Basic Attacks deal 50 (+110% Total Physical Attack) Physical Damage but only gains 40% Attack Speed from equipment or Emblems.

Skill 1

Rhapsody: Shoot all bullets forward, each dealing 35 to 185 (+70% Total Physical Attack) Physical Damage, with +90 Damage against Creeps.

Skill 2

Rondo: Blink the direction, with the next 2 Basic Attacks dealing extra +10% to 30% Physical Damage in 5 Seconds. Hitting an enemy with Skill 1 will reduce this skill’s CD by 0.5 Seconds.

Ultimate

  • Death Sonata: Violin becomes a super cannon that shoots 2 Super Bullets at a time that only hits heroes and Creeps. Getting hit deals 80 to 160 (+70% Total Physical Attack) (+12% Enemy Lost HP) Physical Damage to enemies nearby, and inflict 80% Slow.
  • (Extra Effect): Shooting a Super Bullet lets him move to another location. Ending Death Sonata decreases its cooldown by 15% per 2 Super Bullets remaining.

The solemn nature of the music Granger loves to play is in contrast to his sheer brutality as a Demon Hunter, with the Mobile Legends Marksman offering heavy firepower in his MOBA gameplay. Granger excels in extreme burst damage plays, although plagued by vulnerability to highly mobile Assassins or controls from Tanks and Mages. His Attack Speed isn’t as fast due to his Passive penalty, but he makes up for it with increased overall damage.

Despite Granger’s over-reliance on burst attacks, this is precisely what makes him extremely dangerous. At base, his 6th Bullet from his Passive and the 3rd Super Bullet, when augmented with his Ultimate, can obliterate Creeps and enemies quickly. Moreover, his Ultimate can allow him to reposition as needed. Allies may even use Granger’s slow effect to see enemies on the map, giving them extra tactical options.

4 Edith, The Ancient Guard

A Durable Defender That Excels In Heavy-Hitting Burst Attacks

Mobile Legends: Bang Bang - 14 Best Marksman Heroes, Ranked (19)

Specialty

Control, Burst

Passive

Overload: Each skill cast grants Overloaded status for 3 Seconds, where all Basic Attacks trigger chain lightning to deal +30% Total Magic Power (+4% Total HP of Target) Extra Magic Damage up to 4 Enemies. Minions take +300% Damage from Chain Lightning.

Skill 1

  • Earth Shaker (Phylax): Launches a blow to a direction dealing 225 to 450 (+10% Total HP) Physical Damage to enemies hit and knocks them airborne for 1 Second. Minions get 120% Damage. Uninterruptible by most control effects except Suppression.
  • Earth Shaker (Edith): Deal 170 to 320 (+40% Total Magic Power) Magic Damage to enemies hit and inflict 30% Slow. Afterwards deal 68 to 128 (+16% Total Magic Power) Magic Damage to enemies in the area every 0.5 Seconds across 1.5 Seconds.

Skill 2

  • Onward (Phylax): Charge to the target direction, dealing 90 to 140 (+3% Total HP) Physical Damage to enemies.
  • Onward (Edith): Deal 150 to 300 (+50% Total Magic Power) Magic Damage to the first enemy and Immobilize for 0.8 Seconds.

Ultimate

  • Primal Wrath (Passive): Accumulate Wrath depending on the damage she received.
  • Primal Wrath (Active): Edith ejects herself forward, knocking back nearby foes. She can then perform Basic Attacks that deal 35 to 65 (+75% Total Physical Attack) (+25% Total Magic Power) Magic Damage.
  • (As Edith): Gains 350 to 650 (+5% Total HP) up to 350 to 650 (+20% Total HP) extra Shield, +50% to 150% extra Attack Speed, and 5% to 20% Hybrid Lifesteal based on Wrath. Moreover, her Extra Physical Defense and Extra Magic Defense becomes 3.2 Magic Power.

Created as a warden to watch over Evil Gods on Sanctum Island, the current attacks from the Abyss had once again called Edith to her post as the Land of Dawn’s defender. From inside her mecha Phylax, Edith switches up Mobile Legends gameplay by providing a Marksman/Tank hybrid among MOBA characters. Using Edith can help players enjoy a typical high-defense Tank gameplay until she becomes a burst Marksman whenever she uses her Ultimate. Unfortunately for Edith, her Tank status making her move much slower means she’s not as viable to engage in constant duels. However, her higher defense does allow her to outlast Fighters and Assassins who often target Marksmen or even take on Jungle Creeps alone.

Mobile Legends: Bang Bang - 10 Best Battle Spells, Ranked

Battle Spells are crucial in conquering opponents in Mobile Legends: Bang B ang, so here are some of the spells players should prioritize.

It’s precisely her tanking kit that makes other enemies underestimate Edith’s strength, as players can delay her Ultimate until her teammates get to her position without any risk of lethal injuries. Players may even engage first before launching Edith, after which it’s often too late for opponents to run away, especially if Edith’s team has controllers. Inside Phylax, Edith can rely on Skill 2 to engage enemies away from Turrets or move away from them, while Skill 1 can punish enemies in melee for allies to finish them off.

Ultimate

  • Go Away! (Active): A field knocks back enemies and deals 500 to 900 (+100% Total Magic Power) Magic Damage. It will continue to knock back those who try to enter, dealing 50 to 90 (+10% Total Magic Power) Magic Damage with 60% Slow alongside interrupting movement skills (unless they have CC Immunity).
  • Go Away! (Passive): Learning this will give user +4.5 to 7.5 Physical and Magic Defense, increasing 3x when skill is used actively.

Armed with her cursed needles, Melissa solves the problems of her tailoring clients from afar and with a sense of fashion. However, despite her looks being similar to Jinx of League of Legends, Melissa’s kit as a Marksman in Mobile Legends is wildly different. As a Marksman, players can enjoy using Melissa for boasting decent range and mobility. When raised properly, Melissa can dominate the late game, though players do have to manage her squishy nature in the early stages of the match with Support heroes.

Melissa’s lackluster Passive is compensated by her mobile kit. If she’s not using Skill 1 to speed up her attacks with extra movement, she can use Skill 2 to slow clusters of enemies instead. In emergencies, her Ultimate can give much-needed knockback with an anti-movement effect except for anti-CC heroes, allowing Melissa to easily dispatch foes.

Considered the mascot of Mobile Legends, the Marksman Layla is among Eruditio’s best protectors with her heavy gun that can kill most enemies from afar. Playing like a usual long-ranged MOBA character, Layla enjoys a simple kit perfect for most newcomers and seasoned heroes. Increasing her damage the further she gets allows her to stay within the comfort zones of engagements while benefiting from damage scaling in the endgame. Unfortunately, Laya’s kit relies heavily on the right gear and positioning, especially since her squishy nature leaves her open for ambushes.

However, Layla’s direct kit is her strongest point as a Marksman. With Ficker, Layla can get in and out of situations quickly, and may even reposition herself to aim her Ultimate at fleeing enemies. Layla can use Skill 2 to continuously delay opponents until her other skills are primed for attacks. Running back and then shooting forwards remains an uncomplex but reliable strategy for Layla users, allowing her to defend crucial lanes and roam when needed.

Sheriff Clint once guarded his town near the Agelta Drylands until circ*mstances forced him to become a wandering traveler, now offering his sharpshooting skills to players of Mobile Legends who want fast-paced MOBA gameplay. Clint boasts some of the most straightforward burst gameplay among Marksmen, enjoying high damage numbers at the comfort of better range. Like other Marksman, Clint does suffer from lower HP and can be outmaneuvered by speedy Assassins like Ling and Lancelot.

However, players who get used to Clint’s toolkit can maximize his Skill 2 to stun enemies and Passive to attack further away from the Turret’s range. The fast recharge of Clint’s attacks pairs well with his range, allowing him to obliterate even fellow Marksmen without giving them room to strike back, especially with his Skill 1 with line penetration.
