Synn Store BLOG - Amon Buff Breakdown: Dominating Season 37 with Hit-and-Run Tactics

Mobile Legends assassin hero Amon just received a major buff in the latest original server update, and it’s changing the way players dominate the battlefield. Here's a breakdown of his revamped gameplay mechanics, new playstyle, and the best build to maximize his potential in Season 37.

What’s New? Amon’s Buff and Adjustments

In the latest patch, Amon’s passive and all three skills got buffed, including cooldown reductions on Skill 2 and Ultimate. Moonton’s clear intention: shift Amon into a more hit-and-run assassin playstyle.

Key changes:

• Passive now stacks shards faster with each basic attack.

• After using a skill, Amon enters camouflage. Your first basic attack now reduces cooldowns by 1 second (previously 0.5s only during camo duration).

• Much easier to charge Ultimate shards, allowing faster and deadlier burst combos.

Optimizing His Passive & Camouflage Mechanics

To gather shards efficiently for his Ultimate, start by basic attacking jungle monsters after activating your skills. Watch the shard counter next to your Ultimate icon—the higher the number (aim for 20), the more damage it will unleash.

Camouflage Note: If you attack while camouflaged, cooldowns reset faster. But beware—skills from enemies can cancel the camo, especially from mages and regen-based heroes.

Best Combo for Burst Damage

Here’s Amon’s ideal combo:

1. Skill 2 (throw shard)

2. Basic Attack

3. Skill 1

4. Basic Attack

5. Ultimate (after gathering shards)

Pro tip: Preload your shards in the jungle before engaging. Don’t waste your Ultimate with low shard stacks—it hits hardest with 20 shards.

Item Build: High Burst, Fast Shard Recovery

Amon’s updated build focuses on attack speed and magic burst, ideal for fast shard stacking and one-shot potential.

Recommended Item Build:

• Feather of Heaven – for faster basic attacks and cooldown synergy.

• Sky Piercer – a staple for Amon (think of it like Granger’s go-to).

• Holy Crystal – boosts magic power for harder-hitting Ultimates.

• Glowing Wand (optional) – great against regen-heavy heroes.

Emblem: Assassin emblem suits the new playstyle—focus on penetration and movement speed.

Talent Tip: Pick Attack Speed in the first tier to maximize passive stacking and speed up Ultimate prep time.

When and Where to Play Amon

Role: Jungle – Amon thrives in the jungle due to his need for monster units to bounce his shards. Minions don’t trigger his passive effectively, so sidelanes or midlane aren’t optimal.

Early Game: Gank the sidelanes, especially targeting enemy mages and gold laners. If snowballing, he becomes a true monster even before midgame.

Mid to Late Game: Avoid initiating. Let your tank or XP laner open fights. Then use your stealth mobility to dive squishies like Marksmen and Mages from the backline. Use split push tactics and capitalize on his camo for escapes or re-engagement.

Watch Out For:

• Link’s Ultimate Immunity can negate Amon’s Ultimate.

• Burn effects (e.g., Retribution or items like Glowing Wand) can cancel camo.

• CC-heavy supports like Rafaela can undo your hard-earned kills.

Final Thoughts: Is Amon Meta?

Absolutely. After testing him in ranked matches and streams, Amon is back in the meta and offers variety in the assassin pool, no longer dominated by Hayabusa, Fanny, or Joy. Whether you’re grinding solo or climbing as a jungler, Amon delivers satisfying burst damage and strategic play potential.

Give him a try this season—you’ll feel the difference.
