Mobile Legends: Bang Bang equipment guide

Leveling up your hero in Mobile Legends: Bang Bang will increase their power and abilities, but it's not the only way to get stronger. By earning gold in matches, you can purchase items to give your hero an added boost. Instead of relying on the equipment in the preset loadouts the game provides, get a competitive edge by customizing exactly which items you want to work towards.

Attack equipment focuses on making your attacks stronger, as well as increasing your character's attack speed. It's nice to have attacks do more damage over time, but combine this with faster attacks and you'll be dealing tons of damage in no time. These items are best for Fighters or heroes that prefer to be up close and personal in battle.

The Sea Halberd is a notable attack item that not only offers +80 physical attack power and a 20% increase in attack speed, but also has two passive abilities with added benefits. One slows down an enemy's health and shield regeneration with every hit, while the other increases the damage dealt to enemies based on how much HP they have.

Mages and Marksmen will benefit most from Magic items, which boost magical attack power, mana amount, and even an ability's cooldown time. The Lightning Truncheon, for example, provides +75 magical power, an extra 400 mana, and a 10 percent reduction in cooldown. It also grants the Resonate ability, which gives a temporary boost to movement speed and an extra attack once every six seconds.

Defense items can be used by every hero type in the game. One of the most effective is Immortality, which not only boosts physical defense by 20 points and total HP by 800, but also includes a self-resurrection ability. Upon death, your hero will immediately resurrect with 16 percent of their HP and a shield with up to 2200 shield points (depending on your level) that lasts for three seconds.

Movement items are also a universal choice no matter the hero type, as the ability to move faster on the battlefield is advantageous in any situation. Some classes, like Assassins, have strategies that are more dependent on quick movement, but each loadout should have at least one movement item path.

A good movement item option to start with are the Swift Boots, which increase movement speed by 40 points and attack speed by 15 percent. These boots have benefits for most players, whether they want to strike and run or stay in the opponent's face, which makes them a versatile choice for those just learning the item system.
