Best Marksmen in Mobile Legends: Bang Bang

Mobile Legends: Bang Bang has 130 heroes from six class archetypes to choose from, each with special abilities to learn and strategies to maintain. That statement alone might chase some players away, but if you are familiar with the MOBA genre, a roster that size is a great challenge.

This guide is going to highlight Marksmen, the long-range specialists who stand at the back and pick off enemies at will. These are the heroes that can close out any enemy hero low on health, especially while they're trying to flee a battle to head back to base to heal. If you're the kind of player who prefers hanging back and picking your spots carefully, these Marksmen are for you.

Granger is a bard and a demon hunter at the same time. His Ultimate Death Sonata fires Super Bullets that will pass through minions and target only enemy heroes and Creeps. His Skills are potent too, as Rhapsody fires a full six-bullet clip in one burst while Rondo buffs basic attack power for a short time. He is a legend among demons as his sad and miserable music has become a Death Song for many.

Marksmen are most effective at a distance but Layla takes that idea to a new level. Her Passive Malefic Gun increases basic attack damage depending on how far she is from her target. Her Skills add on as well, with each successful Malefic Bomb increasing her basic attack range and Void Projectile, stunning nearby enemies. With the Malefic Gun in her hands, she is a damage-dealing machine.

Ixia wields a self-made weapon powered by Starlium, a special charge that she can stack on her opponents. After two stacks, it morphs into Siphon Starlium, which not only increases her damage output, but also heals her on the spot with Life Steal damage. Getting Siphon Starlium into play is tough, but once you get a hang of her gameplay, that healing factor makes her a ton of fun to use.

Clint is a bonafide cowboy. His Quick Draw offers a quick burst of damage via five rapid shots, while Trapping Recoil stuns an enemy for a few extra free hits. His power gets really explosive with his Ultimate, Grenade Bombardment, which fires a quick explosive charge at a group of enemies for big damage. If you want some Western flair in your MLBB experience, get Clint and ride like the wind.

Beatrix isn't content with a single long-range weapon and has four guns that she can switch to mid-match, each one with unique attributes. There is a lot of information to learn with Beatrix but doing so gives you a Swiss-army-knife character that's impossible for opposing players to plan for. It'll take time, but if you are skilful and strategic enough, learning how to use Beatrix can be a rewarding endeavour.
