Heroes and Items to Counter Ruby in Mobile Legends

This fighter can sometimes be very troublesome – it's natural that there are many Vicigers who need a Ruby counter. But if you know how, Ruby isn't that scary!

Now, let's get straight to the counter meta. Judging by her characteristics, Ruby is a skill-based hero who's well-suited to both war and teamfights.

All of her skills have a medium-range area of effect (AoE) and moderate crowd control (CC). Therefore, simply spamming her skills can be quite a nuisance!

However, the main selling point of this "red hooded" hero lies in his spell vamp attribute. So, the more units hit by his skill, the faster his recovery!

This also includes minions, creeps, and hero summon units. So, you can imagine how resilient Ruby will be when you initiate/invite her to a major jungle battle.

And of course, avoid using heroes that can spawn additional units. The more opponents there are in a teamfight, the more sustainable Ruby will be.

Don't forget, Moonton also equipped all of his skills with short mobility: making him quite flexible when he has to initiate or if he needs to save himself.

So the counter is as simple as ensuring that you're the only one around. This way, their spell vamp won't be optimal.

Considering the meta explanation above, the best spell option to counter it is Purify, that way his AoE won't be able to work as he wants.

But if you're using a low-mobility hero and need to counter Ruby's movements, Flicker can also be a good spell option – it can be used both evasively and offensively.

When it comes to counter items, Ruby doesn't have particularly demanding criteria. As a hero, she doesn't exist as a damage provider; her main selling points are initiation and sustain.

So, you simply need to purchase items to reduce spell vamp. Some options include the Glowing Wand (Magic), Dominance Ice (Defense), and Sea Halberd (Attack).

Recommended Counter Heroes

Now to the most important part, namely counters Her heroes. Considering the meta we've discussed above, here are some heroes who counter Ruby from each role:

EXP Lane:

  • To counter Ruby, you'll need to counter sustain with sustain. Recommended strategies include X.Borg and Terizla;
  • Because Ruby relies heavily on skills, and all of her skills have mobility, Phoveus and Minsitthar can really be used to counter her!
  • Roam: To counter his mobility you can also use Khufra.

Gold Lane:

  • As a melee hero, Ruby's range isn't particularly long. Therefore, she must be able to chase and stick to gold laner heroes to maintain her sustain. To avoid being caught easily, choose Wan Wan or Irithel, whose mobility is much higher than Ruby's.
  • In addition, high-ground heroes with wide AoE range like Ixia can also be a suitable option to counter Ruby.

Midlane

  • High-ground heroes that you can choose are Odette, Pharsa, and Yve.

  • Use a tank role with a sturdy build. Baxia is the top recommendation, as his passive also reduces heal/regen/shield capacity. You can also use Fredrinn or Barats.
