Argus ML: Item Builds, Emblems, and Playing Tips to Avoid Dying in Vain

Argus ML: Item Builds, Emblems, and Playing Tips So You Don't Die in Vaina

Argus ML is one of the most iconic Fighter heroes in Mobile Legends. His defining characteristic is clear: his ultimate makes him temporarily immortal. But unfortunately, many players still build him incorrectly or play him incorrectly, making Argus appear weak and easily defeated.

However, if you understand the right items, emblems, and timing, Argus can be a killing machine in the late game. So, to avoid making mistakes, check out the following Argus ML guide.

Best Argus Items

MLBB Product Recommendations

This hero's item build focuses on attack speed, lifesteal, and damage. The faster he hits, the more painful his passive effect.

1. Corrosion Scythe
This item is a must-have. The added attack speed and slow effect make it easier for Argus to chase down enemies. It's perfect for close-range duels.

2. Demon Hunter Sword (DHS)
DHS increases Argus' damage output, especially against strong heroes like Tanks and Fighters. Its passive synergizes perfectly with Argus' attack speed.

3. Golden Staff
This item makes the passive effects of Corrosion Scythe and DHS activate more frequently, resulting in Argus' damage being consistent and brutal.

4. Haas's Claws
Lifesteal is key to Argus's abilities. With Haas's Claws, your HP will recover quickly while your ultimate is active.

5. Malefic Roar
Useful for penetrating enemy armor in the mid to late game. Ideal when enemies start using defensive items.

6. Immortality / Rose Gold Meteor
Immortality provides extra security, while Rose Gold Meteor is suitable for opponents with a lot of burst magic. Choose according to the situation.

The Most Effective Argus Emblem

For emblems, the Fighter Emblem is still the best choice for this hero.

Fighter Emblem Settings:

• Bravery: Additional Physical Attack
• Invasion: Physical Penetration
• Festival of Blood (Main Talent)

Festival of Blood increases Argus' spell vamp. When his ultimate is active, this lifesteal and spell vamp make Argus incredibly difficult to defeat.

Alternatively, you can also use the Assassin Emblem with the Killing Spree talent if you want a more aggressive playstyle and fast snowballing. However, the risk is that you'll become thinner.

Tips for Playing So It Doesn't Become a Burden

Many say this hero is weak, but the problem lies in the gameplay. Here are some important tips you should keep in mind.

1. Don't just use Ulti
The hero's ultimate is key. Don't activate it too early or too late. Activate it when your HP is truly critical to maximize its duration.

2. Focus on Farming in the Early Game
You're not very strong in the early game. Focus on clearing minions, taking small jungles, and don't force duels if your items aren't ready yet.

3. Split Push is Your Best Friend
This hero excels at split pushing. His high attack speed allows him to quickly destroy turrets. He forces the enemy to recall and opens up space for the team.

4. Enter the War from the Side
Don't be the initiator. Enter team fights from the flank or behind when the enemy has already used their key skills.

5. Late Game is Your Time to Shine
The later in the game, the more painful you'll be. As long as your positioning is correct and your ultimate is used with perfect timing, you can carry the team single-handedly.
