Ixia's Skill Explanation

Ixia aka the Arclight Outlaw is one of the Marksman heroes that is often used by Gold Laners in Mobile Legends: Bang Bang.

His strengths in Mobile Legends: Bang Bang are that he has a super long attack range, is capable of high poke damage, has high movement speed, and can regenerate HP (Lifesteal) from his Passive skill 'Siphon Starlium'.

He also has a flexible skill combination to deal massive damage and control the area, making him a dangerous Marksman in long-range Team Fights.

His Passive Skill is called 'Siphon Starlium', his basic attack and skill will give 1 stack of Starlium Charge to his enemy.

When Ixia performs a basic attack on an enemy with 2 stacks of Starlium Charge, her attack will consume a stack and will be replaced with 'Siphon Starlium' to deal (+150% Total Physical Attack), (+200 x Lifesteal) and (+10 x Hero Level) Physical Damage to the target enemy.

It will also restore HP equal to the damage dealt by Siphon Starlium (20 (+100 x Lifesteal)% against non-hero units.

This Starlium Siphon is active on all enemies in front of Ixia who are within range of her basic attack, but will not produce critical attacks and her basic attacks will not trigger Lifesteal.

Her 1st skill is called 'Dual Beam', Ixia will shoot 2 Starlium-charged beams towards the enemy target while dealing 120 – 225(+80% Total Physical Attack) Physical Damage to her enemies in a rectangular area.

Then, it will also provide a slow effect of 40% and after being hit by an enemy hero, it will get 40% Movement Speed for 3 seconds.

If the enemy is hit by 2 Starlium-charged, they will receive 2x the damage.

His 2nd skill is called 'Star Helix', he will throw a Starlium energy tube towards the enemy target while pushing back the nearest enemy.

Then, it will pull the enemy in range to the center line after a delay of 0.6 and deal 200 – 300 (+60% Total Physical Attack) Physical Damage.

His Ultimate Skill is called 'Full Barrage', he will divide his weapons into 6 weapons and enter 'Full Barrage' mode for 4 seconds.

During this phase, basic attacks and skills will hit enemies in a fan-shaped area.

Then, his basic attack will hit up to 6 enemy units, especially heroes, and 'Siphon Starlium' (Passive Skill) will be given along with his basic attack.

List of the Most Powerful Heroes to Counter Ixia

Ixia is a Marksman hero who is sick when she is farming and enters a Team Fight because her Ultimate skill 'Full Barrage' can zone a large area and regenerate HP through her attacks.

However, Ixia has low mobility and does not have an escape skill when using her Ultimate skill 'Full Barrage' so she is easily locked or burst by her enemies.

Because Ixia's state is quite strong in the mid to late game, but is also quite vulnerable if hit by an enemy Ultimate.

Therefore, pick a hero who can disrupt his rhythm before the fight starts or lock him down straight away.
