Mobile Legends : Lapu-Lapu Item Build and Strategy Guide – Mobile Legends Strategy Guides and Tips

Introduction

As a Filipino, I’m very proud to have a Mobile Legends character based from hero. Lapu-lapu is not a typical hero in game because he has a good mechanics from 6 different abilities. I don’t see him OP though, but he has a very good potential in game that requires skill from the one who are playing it. And for those who want also to access to his full potential of Lapu-Lapu, I’m going to share to you in-depth guide for this hero.

Pros

Mana Less – Being a manaless, cooldown is the only limitation for your abilities. That is the core stat in this hero and you need only to buy item that has cooldown reduction. You can spam your abilities all the way in both hero and minions.

Burst physical damage – It is common to see a burst damage from mage hero but not for fighter. That is why Lapu-Lapu can be a tank and can do burst damage well. He has a good sets of combo to consider especially once you are under rage

Fun to play – I don’t know if you only feel the fun of playing Lapu-lapu or it is only me because I’m Pinoy. But if you are going to analyze the mechanics on how you should play this hero, he is a kind of hero that you can pick for days without getting tired of it. He has infinite potential in game or should I say the only hero in game that really requires skill from player. The better you are in playing Mobile Legends, the more he can be effective in game.

Cons

Poor basic attack damage – I can’t believe as a fighter that I can’t do trade with mage and marksman in 1v1 using basic attack. He has really poor damage, you can also notice when killing jungle monsters. Also I found him having a cap with attack speed. I have a set of items with attack speed boost and still I can’t see his basic attack as fast as it is supposed to be. I believe he will be OP if you can rely him on both abilities and basic attack. This is my biggest disappointment on this hero as a fan of AD, (AD Estes, AD Rafaela, AD Nana, AD Aurora, Cyclops etc) this time I can’t do with Lapu-lapu anymore.

Slow animation – Aside from basic attack limitation, I also found that his slow animation gives him a big disadvantage. Yes there is a casting delay especially on his ultimate but aside from it, the animation on his abilites is annoying. So despite of having a maximum stats for cooldown reduction still you will get penalized with slow animation.

Less Crowd Control – This is the reason why it is not good to build him a full tank. He has less crowd control and if you are going to build him tank, you have less help with your team when it comes to utility. In my personal preference on picking a hero, I really like a hero with a good crowd control so I have a good teamfight presence in game otherwise I will play as carry and focus on damage.
