Strategy Guide for Zhuxin Skills in Mobile Legends: Bang Bang

Crimson Butterflies (Passive Buff)

Passive Description:
Every time Zhuxin channels Lantern Flare, she converts the Mana spent into up to 30 Crimson Butterflies that follow her Spirit Lantern. After Zhuxin stops channeling Lantern Flare, the Crimson Butterflies will gradually disappear, each restoring 3% of her Max Mana. Zhuxin has a naturally high base Max Mana, but it doesn't scale with her level.

Zhuxin passive skill, Mobile Legends: Bang Bang

Strategy and Tips:

Mana Management: Since Zhuxin has a naturally high base Max Mana, you can use Lantern Flare liberally to generate Crimson Butterflies, which in turn help manage her Mana by restoring it after use. This allows for sustained use of her abilities during battles.
Positioning: Keep an eye on when to stop channeling Lantern Flare to ensure you get the most out of the Mana restoration from the Crimson Butterflies.
Team Fights: During team fights, use Lantern Flare to generate Crimson Butterflies, then stop channeling when you need to reposition or conserve Mana.

1st - Fluttering Grace (Buff, AOE)

Skill Description:

Cooldown: 12.0s (at Level 1)
Mana Cost: 70
Spell Vamp Ratio: 50%
Effect: Deals 150 (+30% Total Magic Power) Magic Damage to all enemies in a fan-shaped area, applying 1 stack of Soul Snare, slowing all enemy heroes hit by 20%, and granting Zhuxin a 20% Movement Speed boost for 1.5s.

Zhuxin first skill, Mobile Legends: Bang Bang

Strategy and Tips:

Initiation: Use Fluttering Grace to initiate fights by slowing enemies and gaining a speed boost to position yourself advantageously.
Chase or Escape: The Movement Speed boost is useful for both chasing down fleeing enemies and escaping dangerous situations.
Stacking Soul Snare: Aim to hit multiple enemies to apply Soul Snare stacks, which can synergize with Lantern Flare for crowd control.

2nd - Lantern Flare (Damage, CC)

Skill Description:

Cooldown: 0.5s
Mana Cost: 70
Spell Vamp Ratio: 50%
Effect:

Hold: Continuously consumes Mana while the Spirit Lantern can be moved with the skill button, dealing 40 (+30% Total Magic Power) Magic Damage every 0.25s (20% damage to Minions) and applying Soul Snare to enemy heroes.
Release: Throws all captured enemies to the target location, dealing 180 (+100% Total Magic Power) Magic Damage (subsequent damage reduced by 80%).

Strategy and Tips:

Crowd Control: Use the hold effect to build up Soul Snare stacks on enemies. Once an enemy has 10 stacks, they are pulled airborne, providing a powerful crowd control effect.
Damage Potential: The release part of the skill deals significant burst damage. Use it when enemies are clustered to maximize its impact.
Mana Usage: Be mindful of the Mana consumption when holding the skill. Use the Crimson Butterflies passive to help manage and restore Mana.

Mana Cost: 100
Spell Vamp Ratio: 50%

Zhuxin ultimate skill, Mobile Legends: Bang Bang

Strategy and Tips:

Initiation and Escape: Use Crimson Beacon to initiate fights or escape from danger. The blink provides excellent mobility, and the shield adds survivability.
Field Control: The field created upon blinking can disrupt enemies and add Soul Snare stacks, providing synergy with her other abilities.
Timing: Use this skill wisely due to its long cooldown. Ensure that you are using it at critical moments during fights to maximize its effectiveness.

General Tips for Zhuxin Skills:

Combo Skills: Start with Fluttering Grace to slow and damage enemies, follow up with Lantern Flare to build Soul Snare stacks, and finish with Crimson Beacon to secure kills or escape.
Positioning: Always be aware of your positioning to make the most of Zhuxin's abilities. Utilize her mobility to dodge enemy attacks and reposition during fights.
Cooldown Management: Be mindful of the cooldowns of your abilities. Proper timing can make the difference between winning and losing a fight.
Build Items: Focus on items that enhance Zhuxin's Magic Power and survivability. Items that provide cooldown reduction and Mana regeneration will also help maintain her ability usage.

By mastering these strategies and tips, you can maximize Zhuxin's potential in Mobile Legends: Bang Bang, making her a formidable force on the battlefield.

How to Play with Zhuxin in Mobile Legends

Overview

Zhuxin excels in gaining an early advantage for her team. Her main strength lies in her ability to spam her second skill at level 1 due to its low mana cost. This skill can be used to throw enemies into a turret or lower their HP significantly, making them vulnerable to death.

While Zhuxin can perform these actions alone, she is more effective with a teammate since she lacks damage.

Early Game Strategy

At level 1, focus on using Zhuxin’s second skill repeatedly. This skill can disrupt enemy positioning and deal consistent damage over time. Aim to throw enemies into turret range or into the path of a teammate who can finish them off. This strategy can help secure early kills and create pressure on the enemy team.

Mid to Late Game Strategy

As the game progresses, Zhuxin’s ability to clear minion waves diminishes due to her low damage output. By the 7-minute mark, she will struggle to keep up with wave clearing. Transition to a supportive role, focusing on teamfights.

Zhuxin’s extreme can lift multiple adversaries and toss them towards your partners and towers, making her a teamfight beast. Properly timed, this ability can disrupt the enemy team and create opportunities for your team to secure kills.

Teamfight Tactics

In teamfights, stay near your teammates and use Zhuxin’s second skill to control enemy movements. Position yourself to maximize the effectiveness of her ultimate, targeting clustered enemies to throw them towards your team. Think of her as a supporting mage who excels at crowd control and setting up kills for her teammates.

Areas for Improvement (Buff Suggestions)

Increase Base Damage: Zhuxin’s base damage is notably low, making her heavily item-dependent without significant damage growth. Increasing her base damage would make her more viable in various phases of the game.
Lower Cooldown of First Skill: Her first skill has a long cooldown and barely impacts the game. Reducing its cooldown would make it more useful.
Faster Passive Stacking: If her damage remains low, increasing the speed at which her passive stacks would add more value to her abilities, especially in teamfights.

When to Pick Zhuxin?

Zhuxin is best picked when the enemy team lacks heroes with strong dash abilities, as these heroes can easily escape her second skill. Pair Zhuxin with heroes that have strong area-of-effect (AOE) crowd control abilities. Ideal teammates include:

Tigreal
Atlas
Gatotkaca
Minotaur (Honorable Mention)
Khufra (Honorable Mention)
Hylos (Honorable Mention)

These heroes can help group enemies together, allowing Zhuxin to maximize her impact in teamfights.

Zhuxin's Strengths and Best Practices

Zhuxin is a unique mage who shines in the early game and in teamfights. Use her second skill to disrupt enemy positions and create opportunities for your team.

Focus on supporting your team in fights by controlling enemy movements and setting up kills. With the right team composition and strategic play, Zhuxin can be a powerful asset to your team.
