X.Borg uses skills with flames, capable of producing true damage overtime, which means continuously and periodically. 

Until finally, X.Borg released his ultimate skill which was capable of exploding an area with great damage.

The presence of this hero has brought a breath of fresh air to fighter hero lovers in Mobile Legends.

Kaja (Fighter)

Kaja can provide magic attacks, and is also able to attract enemies and then attack them with other team members.

This hero has a more technical skill set than one that prioritizes damage, making him a perfect fit for players who like to initiate attacks.

Johnson (Tank)

One of the strong tanks is Johnson. This hero has an ultimate skill that is very useful in team fights.

Crash into enemies in car mode, dealing stunts, slows, and overtime damage for a period of time.

With a massive game and functional skills, Johnson is also balanced with competent skills.

However, directing Johnson's ultimate skill requires a lot of flying hours.

Chou (Fighter)

Chou is capable of playing two positions at once, both as a fighter and a tank.

The only thing I dislike about Chou is that his skill set is very difficult to use.

At least there needs to be a proper method and sequence before being able to control Chou properly and accurately.

You have to pay attention to enemy movements, secure the war by attacking the carries first.

In addition, he is able to kick enemies into positions that benefit the team.

Popol and Kupa

Popol and Kupa can cause Crowd Control effects on both enemy hero units at the same time.

The presence of Kupa, a wolf, is very helpful for Popol when fighting because he can provide burst damage.

While fighting, Popol throws a spear at the opponent and orders Kupa to bite the opponent which can cause damage and follow up with an attack.

Ling (Assassin)

Ling is one of the most agile and difficult to catch heroes, in other words, he is a hero who has high mobility. 

His ultimate ability, Finch Poise, allows him to jump over walls. This gives him an incredible ability to chase or escape from enemies. 

His ultimate ability, Tempest of Blades, will deal huge damage and make him immune to enemy attacks.

Behind these advantages, you need high mechanics when using this hero, as well as farming at the start of the game.

Esmeralda (Mage/Tank)

Esmeralda known as a hero who has the ability to absorb enemy shields and use them as additional HP. 

With a combination of area attacks and high sustain, it makes him very reliable as a frontliner while dealing a lot of damage.

However, this hero's weakness is that he is vulnerable to crowd control and burst damage from enemy heroes.

Khufra (Tank)

Khufra is a tank hero who has extraordinary crowd control abilities. 

Tyrant's Revenge and Bouncing Ball will allow him to lock enemy movements and stop heroes with high mobility, such as Ling or Fanny. 

The ultimate, Tyrant's Rage will gather enemy heroes in a small area and cause stun.

The thing you need to pay attention to when using Khufra is timing, if you can use his skills at the right time, then he will be very dangerous.

However, if you miss your skills, it will endanger your teammates during team fights.

Lancelot (Assassin)

Lancelot is known as a hero who has very high burst damage and extraordinary mobility. 

With the Thorned Rose and Phantom Execution skills, Lancelot can easily kill enemy heroes in an instant, especially mage and support heroes. 

If you want to make him a hero with high mobility, you can use his other skill, namely Puncture, to move quickly.

The thing that should concern you when using Lancelot is avoiding heroes with high crowd control abilities.

Because he is very vulnerable to that type of hero.

Gusion (Assassin/Mage)

Gusion is a hero with very high burst damage and deadly combo abilities. 

With abilities like his Sword Spike and Shadowblade Slaughter, you can easily eliminate enemies.

The ultimate, Incandescence will provide additional mobility abilities and allow skill resets for advanced combos.

Like Ling, Gusion also requires high mastery and a good understanding of the timing of skill use.

Hilda (Fighter/Tank)

Hilda is a hybrid tank fighter hero who has strong damage with passive healing in the bushes. 

This hero is very effective when used to disrupt the opponent's core when farming at the start of the game. 

After distracting the opponent, Hilda then hid in the bushes and her HP (Health Points) became thick again.

Paquito (Fighter)

Paquito is a fighter hero who can be considered overpowered. This hero has high durability, making him difficult for opponents to kill.

He's also quite agile thanks to his Champ Stance and Jab skills. Both of these skills increase movement speed and provide a blink effect.

When four stacks have been collected, the passive skill Champ Stance will increase Paquito's movement speed by 60% for 2.5 seconds.

Benedetta (Assassin)

Benedetta is a hero nicknamed The Shadow Ranger. This hero is renowned for her agility and high damage output, especially in the early game. 

All of Benedetta's skills have a blink skill effect which is very powerful for chasing and escaping from the opponent's pursuit.

In addition, Benedetta's three skills have Crowd Control which can give slow and stun effects to opponents.

Yve (Mage)

Yve has a very long skill range and has great damage in the early game.

Yve's ultimate skill is able to create a very large chessboard area, this allows Yve to fight several enemy heroes at once. 

In addition, Yve has very powerful Crowd Control because it gives a slow effect to the opponent.

Mathilda (Support/Assassin)

Mathilda is the first support assassin hero in Mobile Legends. She has devastating damage and can support teammates.

The build that is suitable for use when using the hero Mathilda is the following: Demon Shoes, Glowing Wand, Genius Wand, Divine Glaive, Holy Crystal and Blood Wings. 

This overpowered hero is easy to control and has a fairly fast skill cooldown.
