Top Mages in Mobile Legends: Bang Bang

If you're just getting started in the world of Mobile Legends: Bang Bang, one of the first choices you'll need to make is which hero you want to take into battle. The problem is that there are more than 100 heroes to choose from, with specific attributes and playing styles, split into six different classes. That's…a lot of choices.
In this guide, take a look at Mages — the heroes who use magic to deal damage rather than handheld weapons. Mages are perfect for you if you prefer slinging spells for big burst damage, control crowds, and set up your teammates for a big offensive rush. There are a lot of fun Mages to play with, but these five stand out.

Cecilion, the Embrace of Night

Cecilion's demonic abilities not only offer him some massive powers, but his passive ability might be one of the strongest in the entire game. Overflowing gives a permanent boost to his mana supply whenever he connects with one of his special attacks. An accurate spellcaster can wreak a lot of havoc with Cecilion, so choose him if you want to unleash the true power of a Blood Demon.

Kagura, the Onmyouji Master

Kagura comes into battle armed with her trusty Seimei Umbrella, which she uses to both attack her opponents and create a shield around her once every five seconds. She can also leave the weapon behind for a dash attack, and then teleport back to attack opponents near it. This makes her a big risk/big reward hero, but if you're up to the challenge, she's worth it.

Lunox, the Twilight Goddess

Lunox's Dreamworld Twist helps her maintain the balance of energy between Order and Chaos. Her Order-based moves heal on hit and offer her temporary invincibility, while her Chaos-based attacks can ignore an opponent's Magic Defense stats and slow them down. Finding the right balance between the two takes practice, but if you manage to do so, it will pay big dividends in future MLBB matches.

Valentina, the Prophetess of the Night

Valentina's Ultimate 'I Am You' allows her to morph into the enemy hero on the field for a time. If you want to give your opponents a taste of their own medicine, then Valentina is the choice for you. Her Passive also gives her extra experience points every time she damages an opponent, so her Ultimate could potentially unlock far sooner than anyone else in the match if she's on the offensive.

Xavier, the Defier of Light

Xavier is one of the most offensively-focused Mages in the game, as even his Passive enhances his kit as a match progresses. He becomes faster, his attacks' AOE increases, and the cooldown is reduced on all his skills, turning him into one of the scariest heroes in the game to face one-on-one. Keep Xavier behind the scenes, and then unleash his stacked abilities at the end for maximum effect.
