Lolita—one of the best tanks in Mobile Legends. But instead of the usual tank build, one Lolita used a healing build. Sounds wild? That’s exactly what Ogwen, the world’s best roamer, did. And what’s even crazier? This build doesn’t exist anywhere else because Ogwen created it himself. Let’s dive in from the basics.
Every build in Mobile Legends can be divided into two categories:
Core Items: Always built, regardless of your hero or the enemy lineup.
Situational Items: Built depending on match conditions and opponents.
To determine core items, you must understand the two main damage sources: physical and magic.
If you’re using a physical hero, check if they rely on basic attacks or skills.
They require critical chance and critical damage items.
Must-have crit items:
Berserker’s Fury
Windtalker
Scarlet Phantom
Great Dragon Spear (extra movement speed after ultimate)
Build Order Tips:
Always place Scarlet Phantom second for early sustain.
Farming-focused? Get Windtalker third, then Berserker.
War-focused? Get Berserker third and adjust Windtalker accordingly—even replacing your boots if needed.
These heroes need attack speed and on-hit effect items.
Core on-hit items:
Corrosion Scythe (slows enemies)
Demon Hunter Sword (bonus damage based on enemy HP)
Golden Staff (amplifies all on-hit effects)
Build Order:
Always buy Golden Staff last.
If enemies have high HP (e.g. fighter/tank gold laners), buy DHS first.
Otherwise, start with Corrosion Scythe.
Divided into two subtypes:
Key items: CD reduction and sustain.
Suggested Build:
Thunder Belt → War Axe → Oracle
If easily bursted, replace War Axe with Queen’s Wings
For junglers or less brawly heroes (Alucard, Balmond), start with War Axe instead.
Pure skill damage: Start with Fury Hammer
Snowballing and no one on the team builds it? Get Sky Piercer
Upgrade Fury Hammer → Hunter Strike → Blade of Despair
Hybrid skill + basic attack (e.g. Fanny, Lancelot): Same as above, but add Heptaseas for basic attack burst.
Build it before or instead of Hunter Strike, depending on the situation.
Core items:
Enchanted Talisman (mana + CDR)
Glowing Wand
Build depending on needs:
Need high cooldown reduction? Use CDR boots, then build Enchanted Talisman + Glowing Wand
Mana-heavy but not CDR-heavy (e.g. Lunox)? Go for Mana Boots + Glowing Wand
Special case: Harith
Needs hybrid synergy—best with Starlium Scythe + Feather of Heaven.
Build Glowing Wand → Ice Queen Wand (for slows and annoyance)
Key damage items: Sky Piercer, Lightning Truncheon, Holy Crystal
Only build Sky Piercer second if no one else in your team does.
Same as physical sustain builds, but swap:
War Axe → Concentrated Energy
Queen’s Wings → Concentrated Energy
Main enemy damage source
Most active enemy heroes in teamfights
Counter Guide:
| Enemy Type | Build This |
|---|---|
| Physical Basic Attack (Crit) | Steel Leg Plates → Blade Armor |
| Physical Basic Attack (AS) | Black Ice Shield → Dominance Ice |
| Physical Skill Burst | Dread Armor → Antique Cuirass |
| Physical Skill Sustain | Black Ice Shield → Dominance Ice |
| Magic DPS / Control | Silence Robe → Radiant Armor |
| Magic Burst | Silence Robe → Athena’s Shield |
| Magic Sustain | Pray… hard 😅 |
If you're constantly brawling → Thunder Belt
If you're sticking to enemies → Cursed Helmet
Remaining items = situational
Scaling = how a hero’s strength increases with a specific attribute.
Examples:
Julian’s passive scales with physical attack
Lolita’s shield scales with magic power
Tip: Check your hero's skills to determine what attributes they scale with. This explains off-meta builds like:
Tank Lancelot
Bane Magic
Immunity Julian
By now, you’ve mastered core item building for every type of damage-dealing hero—and even tanks. But we’ve only scratched the surface.
Situational items—which change depending on matchups and game flow—will be covered in part two of this guide.
