Abby_Kayy — Sun, 16 Oct 2022 21:28:07 +0000

Playing a hero, especially your favourite, without a skin can be pretty boring, especially when you keep facing opponents with legendary or exclusive skins. Also, owning a skin doesn’t mean the hero automatically becomes unstoppable; it just increases the amount of damage dealt and also makes you feel proud by just owning it. If you love pretty views and want to know which heroes have the best skin, keep reading to find out more! Who knows, your favourite hero might just be included!

15. Bright - Hack Thrasher

This heir of light returns from a future ruled by drones and AI, so he has a hard time adapting to his new environment.

See Hack Thrasher in action -

The Hack Thrasher’s skin is one of the many skins associated with the hero Bright. I love the bright colours and concept behind the skin. Just like its name, Hack Thrasher looks like it originated from a future ruled by drones and AI.

It makes Bright look like a handsome and mature mercenary. With the skin, you get 150 synergy points and 10% more gold at the end of each battle.

How to get Bright Hack Thrasher: The only way to get this skin is to unlock Xeniel Codex. You can unlock two types of the codex: the Basic pass and the Advanced Pass. The advanced pass offers more perks and exclusive rewards compared to the basic pass.

Regardless of the codex you unlock, you can get the Hack Thrasher skin once your codex level reaches level 20.

How cool is this skin? 7/10

14. Veera - Sakura Fubuki

Veera, the soul harvester and Lokheim lord, always hides her anger behind her sexy smile.

See Sakura Fubuki in action -

Veera looks like a tempting and charming Oiran in this skin. Sakura Fubuki is a Japanese-originated skin with pretty effects during matches. You can say the aim behind the skin is to seduce due to the short length of the gown and the sticky tights.

The cherry blossom concept is really pretty, especially in games when she uses any of her skills. By obtaining this skin, you get 200 synergy points and also earn 10% more coins after each battle. The skin also deals more damage than when playing the original hero.

How to get Sakura Fubuki: As it's a rare skin and was recently introduced, it costs 1599 tickets to obtain it. So you can only get the skin by spending your money purchasing the ticket.

How cool is this skin? 7.5/10

13. Elsu and Roxie - Jazz Lovers

Elsu and Roxie are the perfect jazz lovers performing a musical concert for the whole of Athanor!

See Elsu Jazz Lovers in action -

Elsu looks charming and elegant in this skin. Like the name Jazz lovers, this skin comes as a pair with another hero named Roxie. Both heroes look like a perfect match in all elegance, sharing the same passion for music.

The concept of the skin is pretty interesting as they look like they’re about to perform a musical concert. You can’t deny how smitten Elsu is by his female partner. From their costumes to musical instruments, I love everything about the skin! It almost looks so real and classic.

How to get Jazz Lovers: The only way to get this skin is through a limited-time offer. Meaning you can’t get it easily unless the offer appears.

How cool is this skin? 7.5/10

12. Hayate and Airi - Fatal Duo

Banished as a taitor, Hayate was lucky to meet Airi. Now they've joined forces as the fatal duo and are unstoppable!

See Hayate Fatal Duo in action -

Hayate, the ninja, was banished as a traitor from the Mist land but was lucky enough to meet Airi. Now they are known as the fatal duo for their wits and skills. This is basically the story behind the Fatal Duo skin.

Purple is an adorable colour, making this pair more adorable to the eyes. The concept is probably gotten from a Japanese fox from their mask, and I have to say it looks good. Despite her sword, Airi still looks sexy as a part of her skin is exposed on her shoulder and also from her thigh downwards.

Together, they look like they can both conquer the world, hence the name Fatal Duo.

How to get Fatal Duo: This skin costs 999 tickets. So you have to purchase tickets in order to be able to obtain the skin.

How cool is this skin? 8/10

11. Zata - Vanquisher gift

Breaking the shackles of all dark wings is Zata's greatest wish.

See Vanquisher Gift in action -

You might think Zata is an ice mage from the look of this skin, but it's way beyond that. The blue colour reflects the terror in his eyes, which is who he really is. A terror that flaps in the night and sends chills down your spine.

The skin concept seems to have been taken from an anime, but it's freakin’ awesome. Thanks to this skin, you could mistake Zata for a vicious villain in an anime series! As a mage and assassin, this skin complements his role as he conquers (Vanquish) his enemies.

By getting this skin, you earn 150 synergy points and also 10% more gold at the end of each battle.

How to get Vanquisher’s Gift: Zata’s skin, Vanquisher’s gift, costs 999 tickets to purchase. So you have to purchase tickets first before you can obtain the skin.

How cool is this skin? 8/10

10. Liliana - Mirage

This nine-tailed fox looks so sophisticated and mesmerizing, you'll never suspect she's after your liver!

See Mirage in action -

Liliana is a nine-tailed fox who doubles as a mage and an assassin. Her skin, Mirage, does highlight her fox nature by making her look classic and mesmerizing. It is apparent details were paid into this skin.

As a Gumiho, you can tell the inspiration behind her was gotten from the history of Asian culture. The parasol in her hand just highlights this aspect more. Right from time, a Gumiho has always been quite a catch to young men, and Liliana in this skin is no different.

You would mistake her for royalty thanks to the costume she has and would never know she's after your liver. Everything about this skin speaks perfect, especially her light purple hair!

How to get Mirage: You can obtain this skin only by unlocking Xeniel’s Codex. But it’s not always available in the codex.

How cool is this skin? 8.5/10

9. Capheny - Harley Quinn

Capheny's gun shoots out fireworks in her new skin from the DC character, Harley Quinn.

See Harley Quinn in action -

You can already decipher from the name and image that the skin’s inspiration is from the DC character who goes by the same name, Harley Quinn.

Honestly, the skin does give off Harley Quinn vibes, especially in games. She acts like a psycho when dealing damage. The in-game effects are cool because she looks like she’s giving a performance. Firstly, her recall effect shows her playing whac-a-mole, which isn’t common to see.

Also, her basic attacks seem like she’s shooting fireworks from her gun, which is fun to watch. When she uses her skill 2 to move forward, Harley is written on the ground, and when she uses her pulse shot, she gains a spotlight.

How to get Harley Quinn: As it’s a DC character skin, it costs 2,499 tickets to purchase it.

How cool is this skin? 8.5/10

8. Murad - Zenitsu Agatsuma

Zenitsu Agatsuma from Demon slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba is brought to life in this Murad's new skin!

See Zenitsu Agatsuma in action -

Murad Zenitsu Agatsuma is the exact replica of the character Zenitsu in the Japanese manga series, Demon slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba. Not a single feature of this skin was changed. Seeing this skin in action in-game is like watching the webtoon character come to life because of all the special effects.

When he recalls, a little bird circles him during this period and flies away once he returns to his base. His skill 1 (Thorne of time) creates a thunderclap and flash effect when used; you would think he was in an anime movie.

Also, when he uses his skill 2 (Another dimension), there’s a little earthquake below him that releases lightning and also creates a shield around him. The effects are crazy, especially when he speaks Japanese and moves around as fast as lightning.

How to get Zenitsu Agatsuma: You can get this skin through Liliana’s Magical draw. You have to purchase premium scrolls to be able to activate the draw, but this skin isn’t always available. So you have to wait till the skin is available in Liliana Magical draw to be able to try your luck.

How cool is this skin? 8.5/10

7. Airi - Heavenly Striker

Airi is a protector of the Ocean realm in this new skin, and even challengers from the other realms don’t stand a chance.

See Heavenly Striker in action -

Airi is a protector of the Ocean realm in this new skin, and even challengers from the other realms don’t stand a chance. Her new look, voice, and effects are really cool compared to the original hero.

Throughout the game, Airi floats in this skin while being accompanied by two fish, each on her side. When she recalls, she’s surrounded by water, and a big fish carries her into the sky and back to her base. Pretty awesome.

The fishes on her side transform into swords when being once she launches an attack. Also, once her skill 1 is activated, they merge together into a fish and knock back enemies in her path. Same with her Ultimate, a large fish pops out of nowhere and dives into the target with pretty colour effects.

How to get Heavenly Striker: You can get this skin through Liliana’s Magical Draw once it’s available. Also, for each draw, you need 10 premium scrolls, meaning you have to purchase scrolls to be able to activate the draw.

How cool is this skin? 9/10

6. Laville - Heavenly Striker

Sent from a new dimension that transcends space and time, Laville is back. But this time, he's stronger!

See Heavenly Striker in action -

Laville comes from a new dimension in this skin with new skills and sound effects. It may look a little girly because of the pink, but it’s still pretty awesome. Instead of his original gold bullets, he launches large pink bullets in the target’s direction.

Also, his shield obtained from his skill 2 almost looks like he’s covered in a pink disco ball. With this skin, his Ultimate launches a projectile with wings that has a pretty cool effect on any stunned enemy.

By obtaining this skin, you get 200 synergy points, and 10% more gold at the end of each battle. Also, your weekly gold limit is increased by 350.

How to get Heavenly Stiker: As it’s a rare skin, it is only available as a Limited-time offer. So until you see the offer, you can’t purchase the skin.

How cool is this skin? 9/10

5. Tulen - Dawning Fire Kaiming

Enchanted by the mystical powers of Kaiming, Tulen has no other choice but to protect the Kunlun Mountains.

See Dawning Fire Kaiming in action -

Tulen is already known to control lightning, but this skin advances his power, and now he controls fire! This is because he has been enchanted by the mystical powers of Kaiming and must protect the Kunlun mountains.

The animation is charming as he has three creatures burning behind him. The recall effect summons a wall he passes through to return to the base. His normal attacks release blue fire each time it is used.

Also, a mystical creature briefly appears when he activates his skill 2 as he’s covered in flames. When he also uses his Ultimate, a wall appears that splits open to release a projectile, dealing severe damage.

How to get Dawning Fire Kaiming: This is a rare skin and one of the most expensive. It costs 2499 tickets to purchase it.

How cool is this skin? 9/10

4. Lauriel - Divine Grace

Lauriel, the archangel and demigod, loves arcana creatures but has zero tolerance for law breakers.

See Divine Grace in action -

Lauriel, as an archangel, is well emphasized in this skin. Her wings increased from two to six compared to her original skin. AoV artists had also said they wanted to prove she was an archangel with feet through this skin. This is because most of her previous skins didn't show her legs, as they were mostly covered.

Lauriel’s recall effects summons two angels playing the trumpets. This is just to highlight her angelic nature. She also has a crown on her head that resembles a halo. It has a blue light that is also reflected in her eyes and the dress, she’s wearing.

Also, all her skills have blue and white lights when used in-game. You can definitely feel the divine aura from her when using this skin.

How to get Divine Grace: Divine Grace is another rare skin and is only available through Great Deals. Once you see it available, you have to use 10 tickets for each draw to try your luck at winning it.

How cool is this skin? 9.5/10

3. Violet - Realm Guardian

Violet, as a guardian of the heavenly realm, is also protected by a blue dragon!

See Realm Guardian -

This violent skin really does make her look like the guardian of the heavenly realm. The animation is charming, her gun looks like it came from the future, and the light effect is blinding. With this skin, Violet is accompanied by a light blue dragon.

When she recalls, a dragon circles her before lifting her into the sky and back to her base. The in-game effects are fantastic; it looks like she’s moving between space and time with her skill 1. When her skill 2 is used, a lotus appears around the target's direction, dealing damage.

Once violet launches her Ultimate in this skin, instead of a bullet, the dragon is released in the target’s direction dealing tons of damage. I also have to say the short bob hair was definitely a great choice!

How to get Realm Guardian: You can purchase this skin for 2499 tickets at the skin shop. Expensive but worth every penny.

How cool is this skin? 10/10

2. Tel Anas - Wreathing Mist Suanni

This Elven queen of Afata is accompanied by a mysthical beast that is out for blood.

See Wreathing Mist Suanni in action -

This mythical skin is so pleasing to the eyes you just wish to own it. Tel Anas has a lot of skins, but I have to say this is the best. It feels like she’s accompanied by a mystical beast each time you play this skin. Her bow is designed in the shape of a mystical beast, and every shot comes out of its mouth.

We can’t deny how charming her costume is as they decided to expose a lot of her skin. Every time she leaves her base; she takes the form of the beast for a few seconds before transforming into her original self.

When she activates her skill 1, the shadow of the beast appears briefly with a wild roar. Also, with her skill 2, the beast charges forward in the target's direction. And finally, when she launches her ultimate, the beast is summoned as it lets a loud roar before releasing the arrow. The effects are pretty awesome to behold!

How to get Wreathing Mist Suanni: This skin is only obtainable through Lialiana’s Magical Draw. So until you see it available, you can’t purchase it.

How cool is this skin? 10/10

1. Butterfly - Sunken Blade

Whenever Butterfly wears a skirt, she'll blush to the roots of her hair.

See Sunken Fable in action -

This is the latest skin for the hero Butterfly, and I have to say it is such a beauty. Compared to her default skin, the sunken fable presents her as the queen of the ocean realm. Even when she deals damage to you, you can’t help but admire her.

There are notable changes in her hair and sword. Her plain gold hair is replaced with long pink hair that has a silver finish. She also wears a crown that indicates nobility or royalty. A lot of attention was paid to her sword as it's different from the boring ones she always had.

Her sword is so charming but looks dangerous at the same time. The in-game effects, when in action, are so magnificent to behold, along with the pleasant singing.

How to get Sunken Fable: You can purchase this skin from the shop at the cost of 2499 tickets.

How cool is this skin? 10/10

[Top 10] Arena of Valor Best Supports

Abby_Kayy — Sun, 16 Oct 2022 01:16:06 +0000

Supports are the backbone of a good team. Although they don’t deal much damage, they can frustrate enemy heroes and make the game tiring. I’ve personally felt that way a couple of times because of some support heroes. So if you love harassing enemies and playing the support role, you can find below the best support heroes in Arena of Valor.

10. Alice

Alice's sweet and innocent appearance once saved her from being abducted! She is full of love and often takes in stray animals.

Alice Pro Gameplay -

Alice is a very adorable but annoying hero. Ignore her cute face if you don’t want to be a victim of her harassing skills. I don’t like her skill 1 (Sunshine) because she casts a spell in a target location, stunning them and dealing magic damage. I’m always a victim of this skill. Moreover, the cooldown time is low, and the stun can last for a second.

With her Skill 2 (Friendship), Alice grants herself and nearby allies a shield while increasing their movement speed. Alice Ultimate (Hissy Fit) allows her to summon a large circle in a target location, dealing magic damage to enemies and slowing them down. The damage rate increases if you remain in the circle for a while.

What makes Alice a great Support;

Buffs. She’s good at buffs.
Control. She can stun enemy heroes repeatedly with her skill 1
Shield. Alice grants a shield to nearby allies and protects them when low on hp.
Magic damage. She deals a significant amount of magic damage with her ultimate.

9. Zip

This speed demon and Lokheim warrior dreams of one day developing an eight-pack and fears women's high heels!

Zip Pro Gameplay -

Zip, the speed demon, is a support hero great at buffs. He’s very good at controlling enemies while shielding nearby allies. He might look small but can expand to fit the situation when needed.

Zip’s skill 1 (Zip Hex) shoots a bullet in a target direction, which links all nearby enemies and targets together. He stuns them and deals magic damage to them equally. For his skill 2 (Zip AIngry), Zip sucks all friendly heroes within range and gains super armour during this period. This is why I said he could expand to fit the situation.

With his Ultimate (Zip Roll), Zip can roll in a target direction, knocking up and dealing damage to enemies in his path. He also gains super amour if he hits any obstacles.

What makes Zip a great support;

Buffs. Zip is very good at buffs.
Controls. He uses his skill 1 to control and stun enemies.
Super amour. Zip gains amour whenever he uses his skill 2 and Ultimate. This reduces the amount of damage taken.
Shield. Zip can protect allies with low hp by sucking them with his skill 2
Retreating. His Ultimate enables him to flee quickly after sucking in nearby allies.

8. Krizzix

For Krizzix, life is all about breathing, eating and sleeping, which is why he always loves to be invisible.

Krizzix Pro Gameplay -

This little creature is a perfect support because of his deceitful nature. Krizzix is mostly invisible, so it’s hard to tell when he launches an attack. With his skill 1 (In plain sight), Krizzix becomes invisible and untargetable, increasing his movement speed.

During this period, he reduces the armour and magic defence of enemies he touches. Krizzix skill 2 (Gravitational Pull) creates a circle around him that pulls nearby enemies towards him, stunning them after.

For his Ultimate (Concealment), Krizzix grants friendly heroes increased movement speed and also makes them invincible. This is usually great for a sneak attack and when escaping an unfavourable fight.

What makes Krizzix a great support;

Survivability. As a deceiver, he’s rarely visible, making it challenging to locate and deal damage to him.
Control. He controls enemies with his skill 2
Invincibility. His Ultimate makes it great to launch a sneak attack on enemies and gain the upper hand during team fights.
Krizzix reduces the armour and damage defence of enemies.

7. Rouie

Rouie is a unique sight in Veda and takes pride in being a Light Chaser member.

Rouie Pro Gameplay -

Rouie is another fun support hero that’s easy to play. She might look fragile, but she is great at buffs and harassment. This is because she can easily control the locations of her teammates. Rouie deals magic damage to enemies in a target location with her skill 1 (Holy Light). After which, she stuns them with the second stage of the skill.

With her skill 2 (Void Portal), Rouie summons a portal that teleports all friendly heroes back to the base, restoring their hp in full. This is helpful during team fights and when her teammates are low on hp. Enemy heroes can’t help but be angry at losing their chance to eliminate them.

For her Ultimate (Sacred Ground), always flee once you see it activated. Don’t try to act smart and tackle her during this period. This is because she summons a large circle in the target location which teleports all her teammates into the circle. How crazy would it be to face at least three heroes alone?

What makes Rouie a great support;

Buffs. She is good at buffs.
Control. She stuns enemies with the second stage of her skill 1
Initiator. She can initiate team fights by summoning teammates to a target location
HP restoration. She can quickly restore a teammate's hp with her skill 2

6. Arum

Arum is a Priest of the Lion tribe, and even the king of beasts is at her command!

Arum Pro Gameplay -

Arum is quite violent and intense as a support hero. This is because she’s not only a tank that can absorb damage but also a hero great at harassing enemies. Arum’s Skill 1 (Lion Tamer) allows her to summon a beast that circles her and deals damage to nearby enemies.

With her skill 2 (Uncaged), she releases her beast, who charges in a target's direction, slows them down, and stuns them on the third attack. Arum also gains an increase in her movement speed. She deals magic damage to enemies hit by the beast.

Arum’s Ultimate (Snare) is very annoying when activated. This is because Arum summons three beasts as she locks her target down with chains. During this period, the target cannot move, and the damage taken by both of them is shared equally.

What makes Arum a great Support;

Tank. Arum is a tank, so she can absorb damage for the team
Survivability. She might not look it, but she’s powerful and lasts long on the battlefield.
Initiator. Arum is good at initiating team fights.
Harass and control. She’s good at harassing and stunning enemies.

5. Gildur

Gildur is so proud; he thinks his crown shines brighter than the sun and only wears accessories made of pure gold.

Gildur Pro Gameplay -

Gildur is another tank great at controlling heroes. He is perfect for stunning a hero from afar with his skill 2 (Extravagant), which is an excellent opener for ganking. The flying object deals magic damage to the hero. As he acts like a king, enemy heroes struggle not to succumb to his control.

His skill 1 (Siege) allows him to charge in the target direction, dealing physical damage and stunning them. Gildur’s Ultimate (Indulgence) is perfect for starting team fights. This is because he controls nearby enemies, stunning them repeatedly and making them immobile while the skill lasts.

His teammates can launch attacks during this period and gain the upper hand.

What makes Gildur a great Support;

Great crowd control. Gildur’s ultimate can control up to 5 enemy heroes at once.
Long Range stun. He can stun an enemy hero from quite a distance with his skill 2.
Damage. Although he’s a support, he can use his skill 2 to finish a squishy hero with low hp.
Damage Absorption. As a tank, he can absorb lots of damage on behalf of the team.

4. Cresht

Cresht is the lord of the boiling sea; with his trident, he can summon the tide with a single wave.

Cresht Pro Gameplay -

Cresht, the mermadion, is a tank good at shielding teammates and controlling enemies. His skill 1 (Typhoon) damages nearby enemies and knocks them back.

Cresht skill 2 (Aquatic shield) grants him and nearby allies shields. His Ultimate (Metamorphosis) gives him super amour as he suddenly transforms into the mutated version of Aquaman with a fork and many tentacles. He summons an enormous tidal wave during this transformation which stuns all enemies in his path.

While his ultimate is activated, his skill 1 and 2 is enhanced, dealing more damage to enemies. Also, when he transforms back to normal, he knocks back enemy heroes in his path.

What makes Cresht a great Support;

Shield. He shields allies during fights as he takes in damage
Great crowd control. His ultimate stuns and slows down enemies in his path. It’s good during team fights
Damage. He deals damage to nearby heroes with his skill 1
Super armour. He takes less damage while his ultimate is in use.

3. Baldum

This monolith soldier of the forest guardians never gets tired. He has bones like steel and muscles like boulders with god-like strength.

Baldum Pro Gameplay -

Baldum is a tank that doesn’t die quickly, no matter how hard I try to kill him. His skill 1 (Wild charge) is excellent at harassing heroes as he dashes forward to enemies in his path. He hits and moves them behind him. If you’re unlucky, and this happens when his teammates surround him, just accept your death.

His skill 2 (Wild stomp) damages enemies around and slows them down. Baldum’s Ultimate (Wild prison) is what is vital in team fights. He traps enemy heroes under the ground for a few seconds, immobilizing them and dealing damage. Just imagine you’re at the point of killing an enemy hero, and you suddenly can’t move! I would want to pull my hair out!

What makes Baldum a great tank;

Absorbs damage. As a tank, he takes most of the damage for the team.
Survivability. Baldum doesn’t die quickly. He needs about two to three heroes to knock him out.
Team fights. Baldum is good at starting team fights with his skill 1, pushing the enemy heroes toward him.
Crowd control. His ultimate help is controlling crowds, as he can simultaneously trap all enemy heroes. This is very helpful if his team is losing and need to retreat.

2. Grakk

This tanky hero would grab your soul from your body with his long ranged hook and suck you into his belly.

Grakk Pro Gameplay -

Grakk can be so annoying as a support hero. He’s banned in ranked matches because of his skill 2 and Ultimate. He’s a well-fed hero that doesn’t give up. His skill 1 (Earthquake) slows down enemy heroes and deals minor magic damage to them.

Grakk’s skill 2 (Devil’s chain) targets an enemy hero, hooks and pulls him towards his fat belly. Immediately after he does that, his teammates launch attacks on that hero, giving the hero no chance of escaping.

If you break free from his hook, he can decide to use his Ultimate (World devourer). Grakk’s belly suddenly becomes a vacuum cleaner that keeps sucking and pulling you towards him. He stuns you repeatedly, dealing magic damage and allowing his teammates to feed on you. Sounds so annoying, right?

What makes Grakk a great support;

Absorbs damage. As a tank, he absorbs damage on behalf of the team.
Great Crowd control. Grakk’s ultimate can control up to 5 enemy heroes at once.
Initiating team fights. Once he uses his ultimate to control enemy heroes, his teammates can take it as a signal to engage in team fights.
Great support. His skill 2 allows him to grab heroes as his teammates clear them. His hook always scares the shit out of me.

1. Aya

Aya is a forest idol and Athanor's biggest star. For her first concert, all elves were coerced to attend by Krixi!

Aya Pro Gameplay -

Aya is a hero with so much flexibility. When on your team, it's a plus, but if you’re facing her, you’ve got to sit tight. This is because she can mount on any of her teammates to act as a support. This automatically makes it difficult to kill any hero paired with her.

Her skill 1 (Sound breaker) launches a projectile that deals minor magic damage to enemies within it and slows them down. Aya’s skill 2 (Idol love) allows her to possess any team hero of her choice. Also, she grants the possessed hero a shield that lasts for 6 seconds and reduces damage taken by half. This allows her to protect her team heroes easily.

Aya’s Ultimate (Forest song) casts a big circle as she sings attractively. Enemy heroes in the circle for 2 seconds transform into mini balls. This increases the speed of the possessed hero as she deals magic damage to enemies.

What makes Aya a great support;

Possession and protection. Aya can possess any team hero and act as a shield for her teammates.
Crowd control. Aya can transfigure up to 5 enemy heroes with her ultimate.
Survivability. Aya always possesses a hero, which makes it difficult to kill her. Also, when her hp reaches a particular level after taking damage, she transforms into her original form and becomes untargetable for a few seconds.

[Top 15] Arena of Valor Best Heroes For Each Role

Abby_Kayy — Sat, 15 Oct 2022 23:55:42 +0000

Have you ever been so angry at a hero you wished you could kill it physically? I have been so many times! When playing Arena of Valor, some heroes always get on my nerves and scare me because they’re one of the best. Are you new to AoV, or are you wondering what hero to purchase to increase your winning rate? I’ll list the heroes I think are the strongest and have the most incredible damage in AoV and why most players ban them in Ranked matches.

15. Lauriel (Mage)

Lauriel is the master of the Hall of Gospel. She may be a kind demigod but has zero tolerance for rule-breakers.

Lauriel Pro Gameplay -

Lauriel, the Archangel, is one of the best mages in AoV, with excellent mobility skills. Lauriel’s skill 1 (The wheel) creates a path that lights up for 1 second and deals damage to enemies in her direction. Her skill 2 (Blink) makes her untargetable as she moves closer to an enemy hero and deals significant damage.

The most exciting fact about Lauriel is her ultimate (Smite). She summons a circle that lights up for 12 seconds, causing a reduction in the cooldown of her skills 1 and 2. If you’re within that circle, you should run for your life because the probability of exiting alive is very low!

This is because she moves so quickly it’s hard to attack her while she deals damage to you. It’s almost like she’s a ghost that keeps appearing and disappearing before you. Very crazy!

Why Lauriel is an excellent mage;

She regenerates. Anytime an enemy hero is hit by her passive four times, it creates a mark on them that causes an explosion. This explosion causes her hp to increase.
She lasts longer on the battlefield. Unlike other squishy heroes, she doesn’t die quickly, as her skills make her become untargetable during battles. Her health also increases during fights.
High Damage. Lauriel’s damage isn’t precisely severe at the beginning of a match, but if she’s well-equipped, it becomes high; even Tank heroes have a hard time surviving.
Mobility. If you’re trying to catch up with Lauriel after exiting a battle, her skill 2 allows her to dash forward, creating a distance between her and the enemy hero. No matter how much you run, you won’t catch up.

14. Amily (Warrior)

Amily is a former Shadow Hand member and now accepts mercenary jobs. In order to keep a low profile, she usually hides her real fighting prowess.

Amily Pro Gameplay -

Even from the above picture, you can tell Amily is no joke. As she looks in the image, she deals damage. Her skill 1 releases a blade toward an enemy hero, dealing damage. The blade then returns to her, increasing her movement speed and hp.

Amily’s skill 2 knocks off her enemies for a few seconds dealing a great deal of damage to them simultaneously. In her original form, her hair is short, but once you use her ultimate, she enters into a rage mode; her hair has no option but to grow long! It’s like keeping your feelings all locked up, and then suddenly, you explode on whoever is unlucky to appear before you.

If you’re that enemy hero, you’re done for. This is because she becomes immune to attacks, increases her movement speed, and deals a large amount of magic damage. Amily is a strong warrior that can take out mages and sharpshooters in the blink of an eye.

Why Amily is a great warrior;

She regenerates. This is a big plus to the team as she lasts longer during team fights. You might think you finally have your chance of killing her when she’s low on hp, but then she releases her blade, and you watch her hp increase right before you die. So annoying!
Mobility. She’s so strong you can achieve a triple kill quickly with her if you time it well. She can also run away fast when the fight isn’t favoring her. Is she brave or a coward?
Her Ultimate. This is called the rage mode and is suitable for starting team fights. The enemy heroes won’t know what hit them within a second.

13. Baldum (Tank/Support)

This monolith soldier of the forest guardians never gets tired. He has bones like steel and muscles like boulders with god-like strength.

Baldum Pro Gameplay -

Baldum scares me from his looks alone! I always, I repeat, always ban him. He’s a tank that doesn’t die quickly, no matter how hard I try to kill him. I hate his skill 1 the most. He dashes forward to enemies in his path, hits them, and moves them behind him. If you’re unlucky, and this happens when his teammates surround him, just accept your death.

His skill 2 deals damage to enemies around and slows them down. Baldum’s ultimate is what is vital in team fights. He traps enemy heroes under the ground for a few seconds, immobilizing them and dealing damage. Just imagine you’re at the point of killing an enemy hero, and you suddenly can’t move! I would want to pull my hair out!

Why Baldum is a great tank;

Absorbs damage. As a tank, he takes most of the damage for the team.
Survivability. He just doesn’t die easily. He needs about two to three heroes to knock him out.
Team fights. Baldum is good at starting team fights with his skill 1, pushing the enemy heroes towards him.
Crowd control. His ultimate help is controlling crowds, as he can simultaneously trap all enemy heroes. This is very helpful if his team is losing and need to retreat.

12. Astrid (Warrior/Assassin)

Astrid is the Duchess of Cassanova with great swordsmanship. While others guard the country, she guards the king!

Astrid Pro Gameplay -

Astrid’s sword may look bigger than her, but she controls it best. She’s easy to play and deals severe damage to enemy heroes. You can decide to play her on the slayer lane or in the jungle. Her skill 1 (spin splash) allows her to swing her large sword and deal physical damage to enemies in her path.

Astrid’s skill 2 (fearless charge) allows her to dash in the direction of an enemy hero and enhance her normal attacks. For 3 seconds, she gains a shield and absorbs physical damage dealt to her. Her selling point is her ultimate (dire blow).

Her sword suddenly becomes so big it looks like she might trip over it. She always seems so funny carrying it while dressed in a ball gown. Once she uses her ultimate, she becomes invincible and gains super amour. She also deals actual damage to enemies and stuns them. Don’t waste your skills on her during this period because she won’t feel it.

Why Astrid is a great Warrior/Assassin;

Survivability. Her skill 2 grants her a shield and allows her to absorb damage. Astrid’s ultimate also reduces damage taken, increasing her chance of survival during fights.
Damage. If well-played and controlled, she deals an insane amount of damage to enemy heroes, especially the squishy ones.
Mobility. She has excellent mobility skills and is very strong during team fights.

11. Violet (Marksman)

Violet is a pistol assassin and mercenary that never misses her target! As a good drinker, she often had to carry drunk Valhein home.

Violet Pro Gameplay -

Violet is an excellent adc for the Dragon lane with great mobility skills and high damage. You can call her a hunter that never misses her target. She has excellent aiming skills, which allows her to mark her target. Her skill 1 (Tactical fire) enables her to roll over and deal physical damage to enemies in her path.

Violet’s skill 2 (Fire in the hole) slows down enemies while damaging them. I love playing violet because of how she moves. I feel like an agent on a battlefield, holding two guns. What’s more, her Ultimate (Concussive rounds) allows her to launch a missile from a long distance that explodes on enemy heroes.

This is nice when enemy heroes are retreating, and there’s someone with a low hp. You can just target the hero and launch the missile. That hero is dropping dead.

Why Violet is a great marksman;

High Damage. Her damage becomes exceptionally high from the mid to late period of the game. She just needs to stay behind a tank while clearing the enemy heroes.
Her mobility skills gained from skill 1 are great. She can either move forward or backward before launching an attack. She can also move through walls.
Considerable damages. Violet’s attacks allow her to deal damage to more than one hero at a time.
Finisher. Violet is an opportunity taker. She can quickly clear enemy heroes with low hp.

10. Murad (Assassin)

Murad, the Helios Empire prince, didn't care much about his appearance since he looked equally attractive in rags.

Murad Pro Gameplay -

I love Murad but rarely play him because he’s such a difficult hero to control. This is because he’s 80% of the time invincible or untargetable. How would you feel facing such a hero? His skill 1 (Thorne of time) allows him to leave his shadow behind as he launches forward to attack an enemy hero. On the third dash, he returns to the position of his shadow.

So he’s right in your face one moment, and next, he’s not. His skill 2 also makes him untargetable as he deals magic damage to enemies within the circle he creates. Murad is a little difficult to play because you need to know the right time to launch an attack. This is because his ultimate isn’t always available unless his passive reach full stacks.

Once you see the green light to use it, he deals 5 times more damage to enemies within his range. During this period, he is untargetable again. I got angry so many times for not always catching him, so guess what I did. I waited where he left his shadow behind because I knew he would return to that spot. Pretty clever, right?

But he still got away a few times! Why Murad is an excellent Assassin;

High Damage. Murad’s damage is insanely severe if he jungles well and has good support, especially with Aya.
Finisher. With his skill 1, he can launch a surprise attack on an enemy hero with low hp or even a squishy hero with full hp.
Survivor. His skill 1 allows him to return to his original position if he wishes to retreat from a battle. Also, when he attacks, he is untargetable, meaning he receives less damage.

9. Grakk (Tank/Support)

This tanky hero would grab your soul from your body with his long ranged hook and suck you into his belly.

Grakk Pro Gameplay -

Grakk is such a dangerous and annoying tank. He’s banned 80% of the time in ranked matches. This is mainly because of his skill 2 and Ultimate. He’s like a well-fed hero that doesn’t just give up. His skill 1 slows down enemy heroes and deals minor magic damage to them.

Imagine farming on your own or even roaming next to your teammates, and suddenly someone drags you from there like a thief. That’s what Grakk’s skill 2 does. He targets an enemy hero, hooks and pulls him towards his fat belly. Immediately after he does that, his teammates launch attacks on that hero, giving the hero no chance of escaping.

His skill 2 is indeed the Devil’s chain. Now, if you manage to break free from his hook, he can decide to use his ultimate. Grakk’s belly suddenly becomes a vacuum cleaner that keeps sucking and pulling you towards him. He stuns you repeatedly, dealing magic damage and allowing his teammates to feed on you. Sounds so annoying, right?

Why Grakk is a great tank and support;

Absorbs damage. As a tank, he plays a perfect role in absorbing damage on behalf of the team.
Great Crowd control. Grakk’s ultimate can control up to 5 enemy heroes at once.
Initiating team fights. Once he uses his ultimate to control enemy heroes, his teammates can take it as a signal to engage in team fights.
Great support. His skill 2 allows him to grab heroes as his teammates clear them. I always have high blood pressure whenever I see his hook directed at me. It scares the shit out of me every single time.

8. Elsu (Marksman)

Elsu is a Mildar Guardian and an exceptional sniper. You will never see him fight without his falcon by his side.

Elsu Pro Gameplay -

Elsu is like those snipers you see hiding on the rooftop of a building in action movies. He plays the role of a marksman and belongs to the dragon lane. You can never see him on the battlefield but in the background. His first feature is the ability to become invisible behind obstacles like towers.

This is quite useful when he wants to aim at a target. His skill 1 (Sentinel) allows him to place a device that grants the vision to see everything within its range. Elsu’s skill 2 (Snipe) is the real deal. He can aim at a target a long distance away from him, dealing high damage and slowing the hero down.

He can use this skill every 16 seconds before the cooldown time. I remember when one of my teammates was retreating, and suddenly I saw him drop dead in the blink of an eye. How his hero dropped from being sniped by Elsu was so funny.

Finally, Elsu’s ultimate causes him to leap backward and launch a bullet in the direction of an enemy hero. He deals damage to the hero and slows them down.

Why Elsu is a great marksman;

Damage. His damage is severe from the beginning of the game and becomes higher after leveling up.
Vision. Elsu can clearly visualize enemies within range thanks to his skill 1
Finisher. Elsu is the best as clearing heroes with low hp. This is because skill 2 allows him to mark a target no matter the distance and snipe the target.
Survivability. As it’s rare to see him amid a fight, his chances of survival go up a little. He mainly stays behind his teammates or towers to deal damage.

7. Paine (Assassin)

Despite his weird love for afternoon teas, Paine is still Carano Academy's most terrifying professor!

Paine Pro Gameplay -

Paine looks like he walked right out of a webtoon series. I’ll admit he’s good-looking, but he definitely isn’t merciful. Paine’s skill 1 (Soul tidings) enables him to move quickly in the joystick direction and deals magic damage to whichever hero he passes.

His skill 2 (Elegy) allows him to attack nearby enemies and regain his energy if he’s still within the circle. Most players hate his ultimate (Acknowledge) and are always on the lookout for when he uses it. This is because he launches from a distant location to his target area and deals damage to whoever is in his path.

It’s so annoying because you never see him coming! He also gains a super amour by dealing magic damage to enemy heroes.

Why Paine is an excellent Assassin;

Damage. If Paine has marked you, just surrender! He never lets go. He deals an insane amount of damage to targeted heroes and also heroes with the range of his attacks.
Finisher. Paine can be a pain in the ass as he comes from no wear to clear enemy heroes with low hp. He does so within the blink of an eye, especially with his ultimate.
Survivability. As a mobility hero, his skills allow him to move a lot, so he can retreat after dealing damage to enemy heroes.

6. Krixi (Mage)

This pretty pixie is the leader of the forest guardians and has one of the best voices in Elborne Woods.

Krixi Pro Gameplay -

Krixi is just like the pretty fairies you see in fairytales. She is an easy hero to control and is good at harassing enemy heroes. Her skill 1 (Mischief) allows her wings to fly forward and deals magic damage to enemies it touches.

Her skill 2 (Nature’s wrath) throws enemy heroes in the air, stunning them and dealing magic damage simultaneously. She can stun up to three heroes at once. Krixi’s ultimate (Celestial priest) allows her to summon a large circle that deals damage to nearby enemies repeatedly. She also gains movement speed.

This is usually beneficial during team fights. Why Krixi is an excellent mage;

Harass. She’s great at harassing enemy heroes with her skill 2 as she knocks them up.
Initiator. As a harasser, she’s good at initiating team fights.
Damage. Krixi deals high damage from the match's beginning, which increases after leveling up. During late games, her skill 1 and 2 is enough to kill a squishy hero.

5. Aya (Support)

Aya is a forest idol and Athanor's biggest star. For her first concert, all elves were coerced to attend by Krixi!

Aya Pro Gameplay -

Aya is like the baby of AoV that everyone loves but hates simultaneously. When on your team, it's a plus, but if you’re facing her, then you’ve got to sit tight. This is because she can mount on any of her teammates to act as a support. This automatically makes it difficult to kill any hero paired with her.

Her skill 1 (Sound breaker) launches a projectile that deals little magic damage to enemies within it and slows them down. Aya’s skill 2 (Idol love) allows her to possess any team hero of her choice. Also, she grants the possessed hero a shield that lasts for 6 seconds and reduces damage taken by half. This allows her to protect her team heroes easily.

Why Aya is a good support;

Possession and protection. Aya can possess any team hero, which makes her quite flexible. She also serves as a shield for her teammates.
Crowd control. Aya can transfigure up to 5 enemy heroes found within the circle of her ultimate. Her teammates gain the upper hand and can launch attacks on the enemies.
Survivability. Aya rarely dies in a match. This is because she is always possessing a hero. After the hero dies, she can move to another target. Also, after taking severe damage, she transforms into her original form and becomes untargetable for a few seconds.

4. Capheny (Marksman)

Capheny is a machinist who thinks that the best hairstyle is wearing two ponytails. She is great at fighting and also picking locks.

Capheny Pro Gameplay -

Look at Capheny’s gun. It’s obvious she’s no joke. It’s best to attack her by surprise because she deals damage before you can even get close.

Capheny’s skill 1 has two modes; a Pulse shot and a Rapid shot. For pulse shot, her normal attack has a penetration effect that deals a large amount of damage to enemies hit. She can only use it 5 times before the next cooldown. In contrast, rapid shot allows her to shoot continually, dealing physical damage to enemies.

She keeps dealing damage while moving, which shows her excellent mobility skills. Her skill 2 (Armorbreaker) increases her movement speed as she gains an armor penetration effect. For her ultimate, she releases a series of bullets toward enemies in her path, dealing a large amount of physical damage. She can move while using this skill.

Why Capheny is a great marksman;

Mobility. Capheny can deal damage to enemies while moving. She could be retreating from a battle and dealing damage to enemies trying to pursue her.
Damage. Her damage level is relatively high due to her skill 1 and Ultimate. With good support, she can quickly kill enemy heroes.
Ultimate. Capheny’s Ultimate damages all the enemies in her path and is very beneficial during team fights.

3. Zata (Mage/Assassin)

Breaking the shackles of all dark wings is Zata's greatest wish.

Zata Pro Gameplay -

Zata looks like he belongs in an anime movie. He’s one of the most difficult heroes to play and master in AoV. Once you get the hang of it, it’s over for the opposing team. His skill 1 (Eagle Screech) allows him to launch a magic missile that explodes and deals damage to enemies at the end of it.

His second skill (Twister) enables him to cast a spell that moves back and forth, dealing magic damage to enemies it passes. All these sounds easy until it’s time to use his Ultimate(Ascend), and then you will know how annoying it is when you don’t get the hang of it.

You need to time it right when using his ultimate. This is because he dashes forward and deals damage to enemies in his path. If correctly used, he can dash up to three times, ascending to the sky and becoming untargetable. He deals 10 times more magic damage to all the enemies below him.

Crazy how you just watch him deal damage to you but can’t even do anything to him! Why Zata is a great Mage/Assassin;

Mobility. Zata has excellent mobility skills and so is very strong during team fights.
Damage. His magic damage is high from the beginning of the game and increases after leveling up.
Ultimate. His ultimate makes him untargetable and therefore immune to damage taken during that period. He can also attack enemies within a tower during this period.

2. Yena (Warrior)

Yena, the Crescent Maiden, has been voted the dream partner of a lot of revolutionaries because of her pretty face and fair skin.

Yena Pro Gameplay -

Yena is another complicated hero to play because of her skills. She may look innocent but is guilty when it comes to dealing damage. She’s difficult to play because her ultimate (full moon/half moon) allows her to switch Skills 1 and 2. So basically, she has four skills.

Before switching to the full moon, her skill 1 allows her to charge in an enemy hero's direction and return, dealing physical damage. For skill 2, she throws a flying object in her target's direction, slowing them down while also dealing damage.

After full moon launches, her two swords merge. Her new skill 1 allows her to charge up before dealing damage to enemies in her path and knocking them up. For her skill 2, she charges slowly in the target's direction and swings her sword four times, dealing damage each time and knocking them up.

She can switch between them when attacking, giving her enemies no chance to devise a counterplan! Why Yena is a great warrior;

Mobility. As a mobility hero, she’s powerful during team fights and even when facing squishy heroes one-on-one.
Damage. If well equipped, her damage becomes very high as she deals physical damage to enemy heroes.
Ultimate. Yena ‘s Ultimate allows her to switch between half and full moon, so once she starts attacking, there’s no stopping!

1. Butterfly (Assassin)

Butterfly is a mercenary, and her sword is also known as death's whisper. She secretly keeps a list of people's names she intends to kill.

Butterfly Pro Gameplay -

Butterfly is a pretty but dangerous assassin. You can see it in her eyes. If she’s well-equipped, she can easily take out squishy heroes. Unlike Yena, who is a mobility hero, Butterfly is a finisher. She never starts team fights.

She belongs in the jungle to level up and increase her damage output. Her skill 1 (Whirlwind) allows her to swing her sword in front of her, increasing her movement speed while dealing damage. She also gains a shield. Her skill 2 (Sword propel) enables her to deal physical damage to enemies in her path and also slows them down.

Butterfly’s ultimate (Backstab) allows her to backstab enemy heroes and mark them. Her hp increases while the mark is in effect. Every time she uses this skill, my head hurts physically because of the force put into it.

Why Butterfly is an excellent Assassin;

Finisher. Once most of the damage has been dealt by her teammates, Butterfly can launch an attack to finish up the enemy heroes.
Ultimate. If she successfully kills an enemy with her Ultimate, the cooldown time resets. This means she can launch an attack on another enemy hero, and it goes on like that. It works best when the enemy heroes are low on hp.
Damage. She deals excellent physical damage when well-equipped and leveled up. Squishy heroes are a piece of cake to her at this point.

[Top 10] Arena of Valor Best Marksman

Abby_Kayy — Sat, 15 Oct 2022 17:56:03 +0000

It’s always funny when I face a team without a marksman or having three marksmen at once. I can already tell there is disagreement among them, and I use it to my advantage. Once a marksman launches an attack on you, there’s no stopping, and this is because they are attack damage carriers. If you’re curious about the Top 10 Arena of Valor Marksman, you’ve come to the right place!

10. Brunhilda (Dragon Lane)

Despite being the leader of the Night Owls Gang, Brunhilda keeps failing at love.

Brunhilda Pro Gameplay -

Brunhilda always looks like she has no idea what she’s doing. Other than the fact that her trouser might need a little adjustment, I have no idea how she carries her weapons so easily. Her skill 1 (Redeploy) grants her an increase in movement speed and also increases her incoming attacks.

For her skill 2 (Sentry), Brunhilda places a trap on the ground, which deals physical damage to enemies that come in contact with it and also slows them down. Two traps can exist consecutively. Brunhilda’s Ultimate (Entrench) is the main deal and when activated, flee for your life!

This is because she suddenly becomes entrenched and begins to deal area damage. If you’re within the circle, the chance of making it out alive is very low. She stays at the center of the circle, gaining a super amour and magic defense. Brunhilda deals heavy damage during this period.

What makes Brunhilda a great marksman;

Harass. Brunhilda harasses enemy heroes with both her skill 1 and 2
Area damage. Her Ultimate deals heavy Area damage to enemy heroes, which is beneficial during team fights.
Movement speed. She can harass and retreat at the same time, thanks to her increased movement skill.

9. Hayate (Dragon Lane)

Hayate, the ninja marksman, is as swift as the wind and as gentle as the forest.

Hayate Pro Gameplay -

Hayate, the ninja marksman, is hated by warriors in Arena of Valor. This is due to his movement skills. Minus the fact that I don’t like his hair, I also find him quite annoying. A lot of people love playing him, although he’s quite difficult to control.

Hayate’s skill 1 (Shuriken toss) grants him increased movement speed, and during this period, he deals severe physical damage to enemies in his path. For his skill 2 (Shadowstep), Hayate teleports to the location of his target and deals damage to enemies within range. Because oftentimes, he uses this skill to escape, warriors don’t like him.

His main damage dealer is his Ultimate (Kunai Blitz). It’s like Hayate losses his mind as he teleports to the center of enemy heroes, dealing damage multiple times. He keeps throwing bullets non-stop till the skill is on cooldown. You just never see it coming just to find out you’re already dead.

What makes Hayate a great marksman;

Mobility. His skill 2 grants him increased movement speed and the ability to teleport when dealing damage.
High attack speed
Serious damage. Ninjas have been known right from time to deal lots of damage.
Multiple damages. He deals damage to multiple heroes at once with his Ultimate. Hayate enters the midst of enemy heroes and starts shooting non-stop.

8. Eland’orr (Dragon Lane/Jungle)

Eland'orr the night ranger is a gifted songwriter and lyricist who uses his music to appeal to dead souls in his soul lamp.

Eland’orr Pro Gameplay -

Just like Tel’anas, Eland’orr is an elf ranger. Because of his mobility skills, he’s quite difficult to play, especially for beginners. He doesn’t have any special skill and mainly deals damage with his passive. So you might be asking, why is he on this list?

What’s a better way to win your enemy in a fight than when they can’t locate you? Eland’orr’s skill 1 (Butterfly wings) moves him to his target location, leaving behind a flying object. Before the skill runs out, he can return back to the location of that flying object.

His skill 2 (Butterfly dance) casts a flying object around him that deals magic damage to all enemies within range. He can also decide to teleport to whatever location the flying object is. This makes it tough on enemy heroes who can’t tell when he’ll make his move.

For his Ultimate (Metamorphosis), Eland’orr releases a projectile that knocks back all enemy heroes in his path for a few seconds, dealing magic damage at the same time. He can also decide to use this skill to move behind enemy heroes while attacking them.

What makes Eland’orr a great marksman;

Mobility. Eland’orr’s skills grant him the ability to teleport from one location to another. This makes it difficult for enemies to locate him while he deals damage to them.
Serious damage. Though he attacks mainly with his passive skill, it does great damage.
High attack speed. Once he starts attacking, there’s no stopping. He attacks from the left, right, front, and even from the back, thanks to his skills.
Crowd Control. His Ultimate allows him to push enemy heroes in his path backward, stunning them for a few seconds.
Survivability. His skills can be used to confuse enemies and aid in his escape when a fight is no longer favoring him.

7. Joker (Dragon Lane)

The clown prince of crime is back, but this time more dangerous.

Joker Pro Gameplay -

If you’re familiar with this DC character, you’ll know he’s no joke despite being called The Joker. Good at harassing enemy heroes, Joker’s skill 1 (Killing joke) enables him to launch a projectile, dealing severe physical damage to the hero's hit. This is his main damage dealer.

For his skill 2 (Pick a card, Any card), Joker dispels all speed reduction effects on him. He also gains increased movement speed and immunity to physical damage. This is why you shouldn’t take him as a joke, even though he always walks like someone high.

Joker’s Ultimate (Canned laughter) grants him super armor while he deals damage to enemies and stuns them at the same time. He also gains an increase in his attack speed. Though his laughter always creeps me out, I always enjoy playing this hero.

What makes Joker a great marksman:

Long-range attack. Joker can go quite a long distance when he launches a projectile with his skill 1. So he doesn’t have to be close when dealing damage.
High damage. He deals lots of physical damage to enemy heroes with his passive skills.
Dispels control effects. Marksmen are quite squishy, so they can be taken out easily when controlled. However, Joker’s skill 2 allows him to dispel such control effects.

6. Laville (Dragon Lane)

Laville is a light chase member who nags a lot but is good at hiding his thoughts! He sometimes gambles and has a terrible sleep posture.

Laville Pro Gameplay -

Just like Violet, Laville is another great marksman who deals damage with two guns. He walks like a playboy but plays like a kid just having fun. His main advantage is his fast attack skills. From his skill 1 (Light chaser), Laville’s normal attacks are enhanced and deals physical damage to two enemies in his path.

Laville’s skill 2 (Mighty shield) grants him a shield, movement speed, and damage absorption. During this period, he can dispel control effects while it lasts. His Ultimate (Double Trouble) is the coolest of all his skills. No matter where you are if he aims at you, it’ll meet you, stun you and trigger an explosion dealing damage to you.

This can be so annoying because you’ll remain immobile for almost 3 seconds, and if unlucky, enemy heroes would take it as an opportunity to kill you. He can literally fire this bullet from his base to his enemy's base.

What makes Laville a great marksman;

Multiple damages. He deals damage to more than one hero at once with his skill 1
High-speed attacks. Even from early games, Laville's skills grant him a speedy attack.
Long-range stun. He can stun a hero no matter the distance. It could also be used to completely finish a retreating hero with low hp.
Dispels control effects. Laville’s skill 2 allows him to dispel control effects and grants him a shield that could save him when low on hp.
High damage. His high attack speed also deals a tremendous amount of damage.

5. Tel’Anas (Dragon Lane)

Tel Anas is the Elven Queen and leader of Afata. Although she's an elf, she doesn't posses an artistic flair.

Tel’Anas Pro Gameplay -

When it comes to playing Tel’Anas, I’m a master. I like playing her because she’s such a pretty elf but ruthless at the same time. Her primary damage dealer is her skill 1 (Eagles her). Once activated, her firing range and speed attack increases. She also deals an additional stack of magic damage.

Tel’s skill 2 (Penetrating shot) slows down enemies in her path for two seconds and deals minor magic damage. For her Ultimate (Arrow of chaos), she summons the power of darkness and morning star to charge her arrow. After which, she fires a long shot at a target, dealing severe magic damage and stunning the hero for 1.25 seconds.

Her ultimate is beneficial when finishing an enemy hero trying to escape. However, you have to aim correctly. I used this skill on an enemy hero once who was already in her tower; the player had to ask if I had just used my ultimate to kill her! You can also use it to slow down enemies when retreating.

What makes Tel’Anas a great marksman;

High Attack speed. Marksmen are squish, so they must deal damage as quickly as possible. Tel’s attack speed increases significantly towards mid and late games. She also takes out towers quickly.
High Damage. Her skill 1, when fully equipped, can clear an enemy hero with just five shots!
Finisher. As I said, she can use her ultimate to finish a hero with low hp from a ranged distance.
Wide Range. She’s an archer with a broad target range. Meaning she deals damage from quite a distance.

4. Valhein (Dragon Lane)

Though a commander of the new demon hunters, Valhein lost his parents at an early age during the second Lokheim invasion.

Valhein Pro Gameplay -

The Stun king is what I call Valhein, which is why I hate him. Valhein stuns you and starts shooting; you have no time to flee until you drop dead. That’s why his other name is Demon hunter. He treats you like one.

His skill 1 (Bloody hunt) allows him to throw a red glaive which deals magic damage to his primary target and nearby enemies. For his skill 2 (Curse of death), Valhein throws a golden glaive which stuns his target and also deals magic damage to them. This is the skill I detest the most.

All Valhein needs is those few seconds you become immobile before he launches his non-stop attack. His Ultimate (Bullet storm) releases five (5) flying bullets, which deal damage to enemy heroes in his front. He also gains increased movement as well as attack speed.

What makes Valhein a great marksman;

High Attack speed. From the middle to late game, Valhein’s attack speed increases significantly, and he can take out squishy heroes in a matter of seconds.
High Damage. Even from the early game, he deals an incredible amount of magic damage, increasing as he levels up. You can retreat while his bullets still follow you.
Excellent for one on one fights. Because of his skill two, he gets the upper hand when playing solo against an enemy hero. He can also use the same skill to control enemies when he wants to retreat.

3. Violet (Dragon Lane)

Violet is a pistol assassin and mercenary that never misses her target! As a good drinker, she often had to carry drunk Valhein home.

Violet Pro Gameplay -

Like Violet would say, I never miss my target. This is why I call her a hunter with excellent aiming skills, which allows her to mark her target. Her skill 1 (Tactical fire) enables her to roll over and deal physical damage to enemies in her path.

This is nice when enemy heroes are retreating, and there’s someone with a low hp. You can just target the hero and launch the missile. That hero is dropping dead.

What makes Violet a great marksman;

High Damage. Her damage becomes exceptionally high from the mid to late period of the game. She just needs to stay behind a tank while clearing the enemy heroes.
Her mobility skills gained from skill 1 are great. She can either move forward or backward before launching an attack. She can also move through walls.
Considerable damages. Violet’s attacks allow her to deal damage to more than one hero at a time.
Finisher. Violet is an opportunity taker. She can quickly clear enemy heroes with low hp.

2. Elsu (Dragon Lane)

Elsu is a Mildar Guardian and an exceptional sniper. You will never see him fight without his falcon by his side.

Elsu Pro Gameplay -

Elsu, the sniper king, is a coward who never enters a battlefield but deals damage from behind. Just like you see in action movies, snipers take their time to aim and kill. Elsu is no different.

His first feature is the ability to become invisible behind obstacles like towers and walls. This is quite useful when he wants to aim at a target. His skill 1 (Sentinel) allows him to place a device that grants the vision to see everything within its range. Elsu’s skill 2 (Snipe) is the real deal. He can aim at a target a long distance away from him, dealing serious damage and slowing the hero down.

He can use this skill every 16 seconds before the cooldown time. Finally, Elsu’s ultimate causes him to leap backwards and launch a bullet in the direction of an enemy hero. He deals damage to the hero and slows them down.

What makes Elsu a great marksman;

Damage. His damage is severe from the beginning of the game and becomes higher after leveling up.
Vision. Elsu can clearly visualize enemies within range thanks to his skill 1
Finisher. Elsu is the best as clearing heroes with low hp. This is because skill 2 allows him to mark a target no matter the distance and snipe the target.
Survivability. As it’s rare to see him amid a fight, Elsu’s chances of survival go up a little. He mainly stays behind his teammates or towers to deal damage.

1. Capheny (Dragon Lane)

Capheny is a machinist who thinks that the best hairstyle is wearing two ponytails. She is great at fighting and also picking locks.

Capheny Pro Gameplay -

Capheny’s gun is no different from a machine. It looks big enough to have unlimited bullets, so it's no surprise she deals much damage.

Capheny’s skill 1 has two modes; a Pulse shot and a Rapid shot. For pulse shot, her normal attack has a penetration effect that deals a large amount of damage to enemies hit. She can only use it five times before the next cooldown. In contrast, rapid shot allows her to shoot continually, dealing physical damage to enemies.

What makes Capheny a great marksman;

Mobility. Capheny can deal damage to enemies while moving. She could be retreating from a battle and dealing damage to enemies trying to pursue her.
Damage. Her damage level is relatively high due to her skill 1 and Ultimate. With good support, she can quickly kill enemy heroes.
Ultimate. Capheny’s Ultimate damages all the enemies in her path and is very beneficial during team fights. They have no choice but to retreat.

[Top 10] Arena of Valor Best Tanks

Abby_Kayy — Fri, 14 Oct 2022 17:30:16 +0000

Tanky heroes aim at frustrating squishy heroes. No one can tell me otherwise. They harass you, then walk away scot-free because they can absorb lots of damage. If you’re looking for a hero with a high survivability rate while still harassing enemies, I’ll list the best tanks you can choose to play in Arena of Valor.

10. Mina (Slayer/Support Lane)

Mina, the reaper queen, never backs out of a fight. Her sharp scythe is all she needs to charge into the Abyss.

Mina Pro Gameplay -

Mina is a reaper queen with little concern for the world. She is a tank good at harassing heroes. And because of her skills. She can either decide to play support in the Dragon lane or go solo in the slayer lane. Although she’s a tank and support, she still deals much damage to enemy heroes.

Her Skill 1 (Whirlwind scythe) allows her to damage enemies in her path, and when she hits an enemy, she restores her hp. Mina’s Skill 2 (Death scythe) pulls enemies in front of her, slowing them down. Enemies hit will receive physical damage. If she does this next to her teammates, they will immediately feed on the enemy heroes.

For her Ultimate (Dark Dominio), Mina taunts enemies and deals damage to them. During this period, you can’t move, which is why I hate her. She can pull you back if you decide to escape with her skill 2.

What makes Mina a great Tank;

Survivability. She absorbs a large amount of damage and also restores hp when harassing enemies
Control. Mina's skills taunt and control enemies, which is crucial in team fights.
Damage. Even as a support, she deals damage to squishy heroes and warriors.

9. Wiro (Slayer/Support Lane)

Wiro is such a complex and annoying tank you just wish to kill!

Wiro Pro Gameplay -

Wiro is a tank and warrior, meaning he plays in the Slayer and Dragon lanes. He is one of the most complex heroes to kill in AoV and is best at controlling enemy heroes. Even from his set-up, you know he belongs on a battlefield.

If you have Wiro on your team, squishy heroes should hide behind him while dealing damage. This is because he becomes immobilized when he takes severe damage, and his hp immediately restores. Also, when teammates touch him, he restores hp to them during this period.

Wiro’s skill 1 deals damage and knocks up enemies on the third attack. His skill 2 (Maelstrom punch) enables him to dash in a target direction, dealing damage and knocking them back. For his Ultimate (Landslide hack), he gains super armor while charging up before knocking up nearby enemies and dealing physical damage to them.

What makes Wiro a great Tank/Warrior;

Survivability. Wiro restores hp during fights and gains super armor, so he doesn’t die quickly.
Crowd control. He is good at controlling enemies with his skills
Damage. As a warrior, he deals a significant amount of damage to enemies
He also restores the hp of his teammates.

8. Gildur (Support Lane)

Guildur is a king-like figure who rules over his targets. You can't help but be under his control!

Gildur Pro Gameplay -

His teammates can launch attacks during this period and gain the upper hand.

What makes Gildur a great Tank/support;

Great crowd control. Gildur’s ultimate can control up to 5 enemy heroes at once.
Long Range stun. He can stun an enemy hero from quite a distance with his skill 2.
Damage. Although he’s a support, he can use his skill 2 to finish a squishy hero with low hp.
Damage Absorption. As a tank, he can absorb lots of damage on behalf of the team.

7. Ata (Slayer/Support Lane)

Being grabbed by Ata's anchor will be your biggest nightmare. You also don't want to be trapped in his Ghost ship.

Ata Pro Gameplay -

Ata is a tank hero that can be played as a support or solo in the slayer lane. Known for harassing enemies, Ata controls and deals significant damage to heroes. You'll know he can take in damage from his body build and the heavy anchor he carries around.

He survives easily because he can recover hp equal to the amount of damage he deals when his hp is buffered. His skill 1 (Wavewalking) grants him super amour while he deals damage to enemies in front of him and stuns them. Ata’s skill 2 (Sea anchor) releases his anchor towards the target direction, pulling enemies to him and knocking them back.

For his Ultimate (Ghost ship), Ata creates an obstacle in the target direction, making movement difficult for them. He also gains a super amour. I hate whenever he uses this skill because I’m always trapped, and it’s usually challenging to escape.

What makes Ata a great Tank;

Survivability. Ata gains super armor when using his skills and regains hp when buffered.
Great crowd control. He can block the path of enemies who are retreating or during team fights.
Damage. Ata deals severe damage to enemies hit while absorbing the damage he receives.

6. Dextra (Slayer Lane)

All Dextra wish is to drive her saw through your body with no mercy. She feeds on your life to save herself.

Dextra Pro Gameplay -

Dextra is a warrior and tank who survives when you least expect it. She’s a great damage dealer who plays in the Slayer lane. When her skill 1 (Saw storm) is activated, she gains a speed-up when charging up before launching a flying up. The object damages the farthest hero within range and enemies in her path as it returns to her.

Dextra’s skill 2 (Saw cut) grants her hp restoration each time she hits an enemy hero. Her normal attack range also increases. Dextra’s winning factor is knowing when to activate her Ultimate (Demon’s gift).

She might be low on hp, but if her ultimate is activated, all the damage dealt to her during that period converts into hp. This means she can recover all her hp while you use your ultimate to damage her. Crazy!

What makes Dextra a great Tank;

Severe Damage. Dextra deals a significant amount of damage to enemy heroes
Hp restoration. Her skill 2 and Ultimate restore her hp, increasing her survivability rate
Starting team fights. As a tank, she’s good at starting team fights and absorbing damage on behalf of the team.

5. Baldum (Support Lane)

This monolith soldier of the forest guardians never gets tired. He has bones like steel and muscles like boulders with god-like strength.

Baldum Pro Gameplay -

What makes Baldum a great tank;

Absorbs damage. As a tank, he takes most of the damage for the team.
Survivability. Baldum doesn’t die quickly. He needs about two to three heroes to knock him out.
Team fights. Baldum is good at starting team fights with his skill 1, pushing the enemy heroes towards him.
Crowd control. His ultimate help is controlling crowds, as he can simultaneously trap all enemy heroes. This is very helpful if his team is losing and need to retreat.

4. Cresht (Support Lane)

Cresht is the lord of the boiling sea; with his trident, he can summon the tide with a single wave.

Cresht Pro Gameplay -

Cresht, the mermadion, is a tank good at shielding teammates and controlling enemies. His skill 1 (Typhoon) damages nearby enemies and knocks them back.

While his ultimate is activated, his skill 1 and 2 is enhanced, dealing more damage to enemies. Also, when he transforms back to normal, he knocks back enemy heroes in his path.

What makes Cresht a great Tank;

Shield. He shields allies during fights as he takes in damage
Great crowd control. His ultimate stuns and slows down enemies in his path. It’s good during team fights
Damage. He deals damage to nearby heroes with his skill 1
Super armor. He takes less damage while his ultimate is in use.

3. Grakk (Support Lane)

This tanky hero would grab your soul from your body with his long ranged hook and suck you into his belly.

Grakk Pro Gameplay -

Grakk is such an annoying tank when opposing him. This is why he’s banned most of the time in ranked matches. This is mainly because of his skill 2 and Ultimate. He’s like a well-fed hero that doesn’t just give up. His skill 1 (Earthquake) slows down enemy heroes and deals minor magic damage to them.

Why Grakk is a great tank and support;

Absorbs damage. As a tank, he absorbs damage on behalf of the team.
Great Crowd control. Grakk’s ultimate can control up to 5 enemy heroes at once.
Initiating team fights. Once he uses his ultimate to control enemy heroes, his teammates can take it as a signal to engage in team fights.
Great support. His skill 2 allows him to grab heroes as his teammates clear them. His hook always scares the shit out of me.

2. Maloch (Slayer Lane)

Maloch, the Lokheim lord, cherishes his wings as he thinks they look magnificent. You can't help but tremble before the lord of the Abyss.

Maloch Pro Gameplay -

Ignore his horns and wings, but focus on his body build. He looks like someone capable of absorbing damage while dealing damage at the same time. Maloch is a tank warrior played in the Slayer lane, meaning he goes solo. He might not look the prettiest, but he is one of the strongest.

With his skill 1 (Cleave), his sword becomes enchanted and deals damage to enemies in his path. After dealing actual damage, his hp restores. Maloch’s skill 2 (Souleater) damages enemies while slowing them down. He also gains a shield during this period.

For his Ultimate (Shock), it’s better to flee once you see it activated. This is because he suddenly jumps towards a target area and knocks up enemies within it, dealing severe damage to them. It feels like a rock suddenly falls on your head, making it difficult for squishy heroes to survive.

What makes Maloch a great Tank/Warrior;

Severe Damage. As a warrior, he deals a significant amount of damage.
Survivability. As a tank, he can absorb damage and restore hp while dealing damage.
Great Crowd control. Maloch is good at controlling enemies with his Ultimate.

1. Taara (Slayer Lane)

The hammer is the only thing Taara brought with her from the iron mountains, and now all she does is battle without ever surrendering.

Taara Pro Gameplay -

From how large her hammer is, it’s easy to tell how strong Taara is. She never backs out of a fight and is good at harassing. As easy as she is to play, you’ve got to play her smart too. She’s good at mobility and plays in the Slayer lane.

Taara moves towards a target area, slows them down, and deals damage with her skill 1 (Colossal Smash). For her skill 2 (Whirlwind), she swings her hammer around twice, dealing damage to nearby enemies.

With her Ultimate (Steeled focus), Taara has every reason to remain on the battlefield, even if she is the only survivor. This is because, once her ultimate is activated, she gains an increase in movement speed and also regains her hp every second. So killing her becomes pretty tricky. It’s like attacking an immortal who heals after receiving damage.

What makes Taara a great Tank;

Mobility. She is a very strong warrior.
Survivability. Taara is one of the most difficult heroes to kill when well-equipped.
Absorbs Damage. During team fights, she can absorb most of the damage dealt.
Damage. Taara also deals a significant amount of damage to heroes.

[Top 10] Arena of Valor Best Heroes That Wreck Hard!

emiliamicke — Thu, 05 Aug 2021 19:10:15 +0000

Arena of Valor is a mobile MOBA game by the PROXIMA BETA PTE.LIMITED with over a whopping number of heroes to choose from along with insanely good graphics for a mobile game.

It’s also available on both Google Play and the App Store for free.

And today I will be discussing the top 10 of its heroes that can wreak havoc on a battlefield with their skills and abilities.

I have included all classes for the maximum diversity and to prove that you can wreak your enemies regardless of your class as long as you know the hero well.

Though I have to admit, this list has been one of the hardest to make because all heroes can wreak havoc in a battle if played well. Therefore I spend hours pondering which ones I should choose from over 100 heroes available.

But let’s start on the list!

1. Sinestrea

Sinestrea is an assassin that focuses on finishing up battles with her high damage output and HP stealing. And of course, Sinestrea’s main role in the match is to clear the jungle while helping her teammates to eliminate long ranked heroes as fast as possible.

Now what made Sinestrea on top of the list is her ability to switch from junglers usual melee attacks into ranged. Making it extremely hard for her foes to escape Sinestrea’s grasp.

Let’s cover her abilities now. Sinestrea has 3 active, 1 passive skill and 1 unchangeable ability. Her first skill Blood Hide grants her insane mobility to traverse the map in a few breaths of time. With the ability to fall asleep (turn invisible to enemies) each time she moves to her designated area as long as she doesn’t move after.

The second skill Blood Ghost will let you switch between melee and ranged depending on your needs allowing you to get your foes faster.

While her third skill Blood Samsara will be your lifesaver if you get into a battle while low on HP due to skill making you and your enemy split HP (if you have less HP then you will gain more while your opponent will lose it).

Now for her passive and active ability. Sinestrea’s passive Blood Bramble will heavily impact your Blood Ritual ability therefore you need to make sure you have 7 or as many as possible blood brambles stocked up. Because if you will have to detonate yourself having 7 after the ritual you will instantly revive with a full HP bar if less than 7 then you will only shorten your respawn time depending on how many you had and give a kill count to your enemy.

Very powerful in my book for sure. Just imagine thinking you got a kill and boom you’re the one respawning instead. So be careful of her strong life-stealing abilities.

What makes Sinestrea Great:

Skill to change from melee to ranged
Insane life-stealing
Invisibility and fast speed
Ability to go solo tank due to high life-steal

Hero Spotlight: Sinestrea — Blood Moon | Arena of Valor | TiMi

2. Amily

Amily is a warrior class hero that I love to call an anti-troll teammate hero due to how diverse she can be. From solo lane tanking to traversing jungle and even support roles is possible with the right build. To the point where you can even fill in two separate roles at the same time. A real lifesaver hero for the team with a troll.

She has 3 active and 1 passive skill (you can add an active ability with certain builds). Amily’s first ability is Kickblade that has quite a big range. Upon usage, Amily will use a blade hidden in her leg to hit a target (if you hit a target the blade will bounce 4 times between your foes and go back to you increasing your speed and restoring some of your HP).

Her second skill Combo will make Amily launch a chain of attacks while stunning enemy heroes for a short time in the end while enchanting her next normal attack.

Amily’s third skill aka Ultimate Enrage as the name implies will make her fly into a rage while boosting all of her stats (you are still free to use all of your other skills while enraged).

While her passive Duel will let you inflict even more damage if you hit only 1 enemy.

A very diverse hero indeed as long as you have the right build for her you will be unstoppable on the battlefield.

What makes Amily Great:

Skills to fill in most roles in the game
Big damage dealing with good survivability
One of the easiest heroes to learn
Fast map traversing

Amily: Hero Spotlight | Gameplay - Arena of Valor

3. Aoi

Aoi is one of the newest heroes in the Arena of Valor, but that’s not the reason why she can’t be on the list considering her abilities. She is an assassin with warrior qualities.

Aoi has 3 active and 1 passive skill, like most heroes in the game. Her first skill Dragon Flash will let you lunge towards the enemy to deal physical damage and restore some of the lost HP.

While Aoi’s second skill Dragon Claw will let you charge or even fly through objects depending on how you will use it. And if you pair it with her 1st skill you will deal even more damage once you descend.

Her ultimate Dragon’s Wrath will let you leap into the air (while in use you can’t be targeted) slowing down the enemy heroes below and deal massive physical damage on the 2nd leap.

Aoi’s passive Dragon’s Blessing will further boost your normal attacks after stacking and crit.

Now Aoi is called Dragon Scar and is heavily associated with a dragon, but to tell the truth she has more scorpion vibes than a dragon. Especially that tail of hers.

What makes Aoi Great:

Her high movability makes her a hard target for enemies
Extremely fast map covering
High damage-dealing

Hero Spotlight | Aoi - Dragon Scar | Arena of Valor - TiMi

4. Dextra

Dextra is a warrior/tank type of hero who is also quite diverse if played correctly. After all, what can be more fun than running around a battlefield with a chainsaw wrecking havoc wherever you go?

As usual, Dextra has 3 active skills and a passive one. Her 1st skill Saw Storm will slightly increase her movement speed while dealing physical damage to enemies she hits. After her speed boost ends she can jump on the enemy and deal more damage with her basic attack.

Her 2nd skill Saw Cut will deal damage to the enemies in her surroundings while restoring a little bit of her lost HP while her normal attack gets buffed.

Dextra’s ult Demon’s Gift will make her invincible and let her restore her lost HP. The more enemies are attacking her while it’s in use and the more damage they deal her the more HP she will get restored.

While her passive Blood Curse will let you steal 1% of attack damage from marked enemy heroes. She can also help Sinestrea and vice versa. If Sinestrea uses Blood Ghost Dextra can get to her location and restore some HP. If Blood Ritual was used Dextra can Sacrifice her HP to resurrect Sinestrea (Dextra’s ultimate will automatically activate, but if it’s on cooldown Dextra will die instead at the end).

Pretty cool mini bonus that not a lot of players know off. So if you see a person using Dextra or Sinestrea consider choosing the other one to wreak havoc in the match!

What makes Dextra Great:

Powerful constitution that will make you last out all your foes
A great choice for tanking while still dealing damage

Hero Spotlight: Dextra — Guardian Spirit | Arena of Valor | TiMi

5. Roxie

Roxie is a tank/warrior hero who lets you run around your enemies and burn them along the way as long as you have enough mana to do so.

Her 1st skill Wild Fire will mark her roller skates leave a fire trail whenever she goes while dealing magic damage to foes in the way. The skill will be active as long as you have mana or decide to deactivate it by pressing the skill icon again.

As the name suggests, Roxie’s second skill Blazing Shield will give her a shield along with a speed boost while if an enemy makes contact dealing more damage and marking them.

Her ultimate skill Agni’s Grasp will catch the first enemies upon contact stunning them and binding them to you for a short time while enabling you to pull them where you need to inflict more damage. While being affected the enemy hero will also ignore all obstacles making it an effortless enemy to drag into your team camp.

While her passive Fire Spirit will buff her by letting her recover some lost mana and marking her enemies.

She’s such a great hero to run about in a battle as long as you include an item that will constantly replenish her mana.

What makes Roxie Great:

High mobility for a tank-type hero
Ability to constantly inflict damage
High durability and damage

Roxie: Hero Spotlight | Gameplay - Arena of Valor

6. Iggy

Iggy is a dark mage (doesn’t use mana) who specializes in harassing his enemies by constantly terrorizing them with his fireballs.

Iggy’s 1st skill Explosive Fireball will let you bombard your enemy while also changing each fireball location inflicting magic damage with each hit.

His second skill Fire Shadow will significantly boost his movement speed and let you mark 1 enemy hero (will make him visible regardless of terrain) while knocking them back and dealing damage.

Iggy’s ult Ember’s Gaze is a skill with insanely long rage to the point where you won’t be even visible to your enemies. Giving you a chance to deal massive amounts of dmg to your enemies out of blue (your ult also stacks).

His passive skill Gaze is a buff that will restore your energy and make your enemy visible if hit with his second skill like I have mentioned above.

What makes Iggy Great:

Possibility to spam enemies with your skills constantly
No mana needed
Long-range
Movability

Hero Spotlight | Iggy - Ember's Gaze | Arena of Valor - TiMi

7. Ilumia

Ilumia a high control mage with great harass skills won’t let your enemies take a break with all the control she has on the battlefield.

Her first skill Divine light will fire a ball of light in the target direction while dealing damage in contact (extremely short cooldown right from the start)

Ilumia’s 2nd skill Banish will let you blast away all those pesky assassins trying to close in and deal them damage while doing so. While the is enemy hit by Ilumia will also gain a half-speed bonus letting her get more distance or to safety.

Her third skill AKA ultimate Cataclysm will let you monitor your enemies no matter where they are on the map for a short amount of time by locking down and blasting them with magic damage and also stunning them for a short period. Perfect for when enemies are grouping.

While her passive Goddess will constantly stun enemies. Each time she uses one of her abilities she will gain 1 stack and upon reaching 2 stacks will enhance her 1st skill Divine light.

What makes Ilumia Great:

Tel’Annas or Tel for short is a marksman with long-range and massive damage dealing (perfect for taking towers).

Her first skill will buff her by increasing her attack range and giving her an attack speed bonus as well as add magic damage to normal attacks.

Tel’s 2nd skill Penetrating Shot will fire 3 arrows dealing with physical damage and slowing down their speed while increasing hers.

While her ultimate Arrow of Chaos will fire a boosted arrow with increased range, dealing way more damage and stunning 1 enemy upon contact with the arrow (A bonus due to hero lore - deals true damage to a hero Volkath).

Tel’s passive Morning star will boost her attack damage if there’s an ally hero nearby.

What makes Tel’Annas Great:

Great for beginners
Massive damage dealing
High crit
Perfect for taking towers

Tel'Annas: Hero Spotlight | Gameplay - Arena of Valor

9. Laville

Laville is a marksman that deals a lot of attack damage while not discriminating by choosing only one target.

His first skill Light Chaser will buff you by enchanting his normal attacks with a bonus and if Lucky Star is in effect while dealing damage to 2 extra enemy heroes.

Mighty Shield is his second skill that will give you a short speed bonus, debuff your enemy’s speed, and fully block 1 ability attack while making the next normal deal 100% critical damage.

Laville’s ultimate Double Trouble will enable you to shoot an enchanted arrow anywhere on the map after a short charge that will stun the enemy for a considerably long time and deal a lot of physical damage to the hit enemy and nearby foes.

His passive Lucky Star will stack up each time you hit an enemy with your basic attack and increase your attack speed while shooting 3 buffed bullets instead of 1 normal bullet.

What makes Laville Great:

High chance for critical
Ability to deal damage to multiple enemies in range
Can block any skill attack

Skin Spotlight | Laville: Heavenly Striker | Arena of Valor - TiMi

10. Rouie

Rouie is a support hero that can teleport her allies with her abilities making it a complete headache to her enemies.

Her 1st ability Holy Light has 2 stages. The 1st stage will summon a rectangle that will constantly inflict magic damage to the enemies in the area while silencing them (enemies can’t use their abilities). In the second stage, Rouie will summon a pair of wings dealing damage and knocking back enemies upon contact while increasing her team speed when stepped on for a short duration.

Rouie’s 2nd skill Void Portal will summon a circle that will teleport you and/or your teammates back to the base while instantly restoring them to the peak stage (enemies in contact won’t be affected nor dealt any damage).

Her ultimate Scared Ground will let her teleport allies in a designed location while increasing their attack speed within.

Floating Light is Rouie’s passive skill that increases her and one nearby ally's hero speed.

Despite having only 1 skill that deals some damage Rouie is an annoying hero to deal with due abilities to teleport her team anywhere on the map.

What makes Rouie Great:

Instant teleportations of your team throughout the map
Silences enemies
Movability

Rouie Lava Spawn Skin Spotlight - Garena AOV (Arena of Valor)

Summary:

Now my main belief is that all heroes can change the battle outcome as long as the person playing knows the hero and its abilities well enough. Therefore I added more diverse heroes or heroes that deserve more love to this list and can wreak havoc in the battle just as well as Butterfly or any hero mentioned in the list.

And besides what can be more satisfying than getting bloodbath notification while playing support? Along with special voice lines too!

But that’s the end of the list folks. Hopefully, you have found it useful and fun to read. Don’t hesitate to share your opinion on the list below.

[Top 5] Best Moba Games for Android 2021

emiliamicke — Thu, 05 Aug 2021 17:48:58 +0000

Welcome to the world of MOBA games where today I will be discussing the top 5 list for android of 2021!

But before I start let’s take a mini sneak-peek at its origins. Shall we?

MOBA games AKA multiplayer online battle arena games were established as early as the 2000s and started their rise to fame in 2008, but the biggest rise and exposure for the genre began with the release of League of Legends ( LOL). The game that is impossible not to know off due to the waves its franchise has created in recent years.

Which then led to more and more games being created in this genre. Bringing us to a question on how to choose the best one out of all. But don’t worry I am here to help you do just that, so let’s go to the list of top 5 MOBA games for mobile of 2021!

1. Mobile Legends: Bang Bang

Mobile Legends: Bang Bang AKA MLBB by Moonton is the game with the biggest download number out there in the Google Play store topping even our favourite League of Legends with over 100M+ downloads. Long waits in matchmaking? Well with such several players worldwide that’s a thing of the past!

MLBB is a classic MOBA game that offers us 5 vs 5 live battles along with a wide hero selection to choose from. There is no exception to the hero classes too, supports, mages, adc’s (rangers/archers/gunners), junglers and of course tanks with warriors to go for.

Now we all had such moments when our teammates disconnected, making it way harder to claim victory while their hero is just standing in the base. A truly rage-inducing situation especially in ranked…

Therefore one of the biggest pluses of MLBB is that once your teammate disconnects a bot will take over their hero. Yes bots definitely can’t be compared to real players, but regardless a bot can be way more helpful than an afk teammate, especially if you know how to use it to your advantage!

So if you like fast matchmaking, wide hero selection and afk teammates at the base becoming a thing in the past this one might be just for you!

MLBB NEXT Store Video - EN

2. League of Legends: Wild Rift

League of Legends: Wild Rift AKA LOL by Riot Games is one of the most known MOBA games out there. The long-awaited mobile version of the game was first released in 2020 finally giving a chance for mobile gamers to try out what’s the fuss about and PC gamers to take it on the go.

The game offers the same classic 5 vs 5 gameplay matches and similar controls to other mobile MOBAs making it easy to adapt if you are already familiar with how it works.

League of Legends being the 2nd game with over 10M+ downloads will also make the game matchmaking short and fast. After all, that can be worse than over a 10-minute wait for the game which might be shorter than that?!

The game also has its famous champions to choose from so now you can also take your favourite characters such as Ezreal, Lee Sin, Viego and so on whatever you go out.

While the game is still fairly new, its public opinion is already great with more than 1M reviews resulting in over 4-star reviews on the Google Play app store, making it one of the best-rated MOBAs out there.

Therefore if you want to try out the famous MOBA game this mobile version might be just the right game for you.

Gameplay Trailer | League of Legends: Wild Rift

Arena of Valor: 5v5 Arena Game

Arena of Valor AKA AOV by PROXIMA BETA is the 3rd most popular game in the Google Play store.

A classic MOBA gameplay along with various modes to choose from. From the classic 5 vs 5 modes to 3 vs 3 football?! Sporting one of the best graphics for MOBAs out there that will take your breath away.

Magical skins (for a good example of their skins check out Airi: Heavenly Striker skin) and marvellous sound effects just make the whole game experience more fun and memorable.

Over 100 heroes to choose from will help you find just the right one for you. With the constant addition of new ones. While the classic MOBA layout and easily customizable game controls will help you max out your gaming skills.

Wish to record your PENTA kills for your YouTube channel or just save the most epic moments of your battles to keep as a memory? Well AOV just made that very easy for you with the in-game recording feature for the best quality. Making the game capturing system effortless for us.

Though I have to add, due to higher quality graphics, your phone will have to be able to handle more than other MOBA games require. But all the beautiful graphics and effects are so worth it for sure. So if you enjoy high-quality aesthetics this MOBA should be perfect for you.

Heroes Evolved

Heroes Evolved is another MOBA game by Netdragon Websoft. With an even bigger hero collection than others with over 120+ to choose from. Image the selection and all the hero combinations you could try out. Almost infinite!

This MOBA also has various game modes for you to choose from. From the good old 5 vs 5 to 3 vs 3, custom matches and even chess? Quite a wide selection.

One of its pluses is the language support the game offers. Making the interactions with fellow teammates easier and smoother. After all who doesn’t wish to have more gamer friends to play with? Well, I do, so good language support in-game is a yes for me.

Though this game doesn’t have such a big community as the ones before which means possibly longer matchmaking it just means fewer trolls to meet in the game. Therefore if you don’t mind waiting for a bit longer this MOBA might be the one.

Heroes Evolved Mobile Version Trailer

Onmyoji Arena

Onmyoji Arena by NetEase Games is a more unique MOBA out there. Dive deep into Japanese inspired lore and heroes. One of the nicest graphics and stories adapted for the classic 5 vs 5 game layout.

Japanese myths and legends are the biggest inspiration for this game bringing us the most unique heroes out of all above mentioned MOBAs. But don’t worry they still have the classic roles such as mages, supports, tanks and so on. As well as similar controls and map layouts that will help you get used to the game mechanics faster and easier. While the game lore will take your breath away.

So if you are a person who is invested in background stories, myths, legends and are a fan of Japanese culture (this game would be the most appealing to anime fans from the list) this game is the one to go for!

His ultimate skill Ghost Ship will summon a ship to trap enemy heroes or project your team from them by either trapping them or blocking their path.

Ata’s passive ability Child of the Sea will buff and heal him. His lost HP will be temporarily put on hold and be restored while attacking either minions or enemies. The more damage you will deal the more HP you will get back.

3. Maloch

Maloch is a tanky warrior that will steal your souls in battle (literally) for his benefit.

His 1st skill Cleave will buff you and even inflict true damage to your enemies. If you hit an enemy hero your blade will be enchanted and recover some of his lost HP.

Maloch’s second skill Souleate will grand him a temporary shield and deal physical damage by snatching enemy hero souls reducing their speed.

His ultimate skill Shock will let you soar into the air (while you are in the air and before the jump you can’t be targeted) and deal massive area dmg in your landing spot. If you hit enemies upon landing Maloch will get enchanted and deal with true damage. If he was already in the enchanted mode enemies in the area will get debuffed.

Plunder is Maloch passive ability that will let him have a longer attack range than other melee heroes letting him deal true dmg and restore his HP.

Hence Maloch is a great tank hero to initiate fights and stop your enemies from fleeing the battle. After all he candescent right on top of your head with his ultimate!

4. Cresht

Cresht is a tank that can fill in as support quite often due to his skills and abilities.

His 1st skill Typhoon will deal physical area damage by swinging his lance and knocking back enemy heroes. If under Metamorphosis he will summon a geyser for extra dmg.

Cresht’s second ability will not only deal damage but will also grant a shield to him and friendly heroes in the area getting rage. If under Metamorphosis he will jump to enemies location and summon a whirlpool for more damage.

His ultimate skill Metamorphosis will let him transform (you need to accumulate enough rage for it) and gain a shield equal to half of his HP. Cresht will then summon a wave that will push down enemies on the way while stunning them. On the way, Cresht will gain a movement speed boost. Once his transformation ends he will cast a typhoon again to push away any close by enemies.

He is a hero that can be both played solo and as a support due to his abilities to push back, stun and shield heroes. Honestly, he so rarely dies in battles that there’s no point in attacking him before wiping out his teammates. Turning Cresht into a very troublesome opponent to face off against.

What makes Cresht great:

Can be played as both solo tank or support hero
Control skills
Great constitution

Omega

Omega is another hero who can double as support due to his wide range of abilities.

His 1st skill Redeploy will let you gain a shield and movement speed bonus while knocking down enemy heroes in the way and dealing physical damage.

Omega’s second skill Veda Tech will deploy 5 projectiles that will spin around him dealing damage to everyone in the way. If an enemy hero is hit with a projectile it will shorten his 1st skill and passive cooldown. When all 5 projectiles hit an enemy Omega will unleash a whirlwind regaining some lost HP and stunning them for a short time.

His ultimate skill will generate a shield barrier around him that can’t be damaged for a short time and will push back all enemies trying to get close by inflicting damage and knocking them back.

Surviving Memory is his passive that will let you deal more damage to enemy towers. Every 6 seconds Omega will enhance his lance for more dmg. Holy Thunder that will be gained with this passive can stun enemy towers for a short time.

His wide range of abilities will make him a perfect initiator for enemy tower attacks which usually causes such big headaches for the enemies. After all, a safe zone under the towers with him goes puff for enough time to get slayed.

What makes Omega great:
Can stun towers
Fast movability
Deals significant amounts of damage

Summary:

All the heroes in this list have qualities and skills that can change the battle outcome drastically depending on the role you will take and how you will use either one of them.

Therefore choose the one that will suit your gaming skills the best. It might be a longer range hero or it’s the ability to traverse the map in a couple of seconds to help out your teammates in need. But regardless of which one you will go for I’m sure you can bring out its full potential in time!

And that’s the end of the list of the best tanky heroes in AOV. Hopefully, you have found it useful. Do not hesitate to put your opinions in the comments below!
