Cecilion's Skill Explanation

Cecilion aka The Embrace of Night is one of the Mage heroes that is often used by Mid Laners in Mobile Legends: Bang Bang.

As a Mage, he has super high damage scaling in the late game thanks to his 'Overflowing' (Passive Skill) which is where the mana stack becomes Magic Power, a very long skill range for safe poke, the ability to sustain or heal through his 'Bats Feast' (Ultimate Skill), deadly in the old game and can crowd control (Slow and Stun) and has strong synergy with Carmilla.  

His Passive Skill is called 'Overflowing', Cecilion will increase Max Mana (10) and restore the same amount of Mana as the amount of Mana hit by the enemy target when using his skill and a cooldown of 1 second.

Cecilion has high Max Mana and Mana Regen and his skill damage increases along with his Max Mana.

His 1st skill is called 'Bat Impact', Cecilion will order a giant bat to go in a specified direction, dealing 100 – 250 (+80% Total Magic Power) (+5% Total Mana) Magic Damage to enemies in its path.

The giant bat will remain in the target area and deliver another attack while dealing 200 – 500 (+160% Total Magic Power) (+10% Total Mana) Magic Damage to enemies and triggering 'Overflowing' (Passive Skill) once.

In 6 seconds every time Cecilion uses this skill, the Mana cost increases by 1.8x – 4x.

List of the Most Powerful Hero Counters for Cecilion
