Introduction
Thanks to Patch 1.1.60 for bringing Moskov in Mobile Legends. This is another marksman in game after the release of Yi Sun Shin. And just like with most heroes it has a major resemblance to League of Legends’ champions. You will see Moskov based from Jinx and Vayne. His global ultimate is obviously taken from Jinx while his 1st skill and 2nd skill are based from Vayne. So if you played those champions before, you will never find Moskov difficult to play.
Pros
+Penetrating Damage
+Good mechanics
+Global Ultimate
+With Crowd Control
Cons
-Skills require precision
-Requires advanced skill in positioning
-Mana reliant
Skill Build
Spear of Quiescence – Moskov’s basic attack can penetrate the targets and deal damage to enemies behind them. Hitting enemies successfully will reduce the cooldown of Abyss Walker and Spear of Death. This will gives you advantage in chasing down target. This passive also makes Moskov a good ganker since there will be always a same approach which is running away when your opponent sees you in 2v1 engage. From attacking behind, you will get bonus damage and this will tear down even tank’s armor.
Abyss Walker – Moskov uses the power of shadow to teleport to the specified position, enhancing attack’s penetration ability and increasing attack speed. This will gives you a good position which is very crucial for a marksman to win a team fight. This is a good factor on picking a marksman. This is also a reason why Miya is a good marksman since she can have a optimized position using her ultimate. In case of Moskov, he can take advantage this skill to always ensure that he can maximize his damage from his passive.
Spear of Death – Moskov strikes at an enemy hero with full strength, dealing physical damage and knocking back the target. If the knocked-back target collides with another enemy hero, then both enemies will receive physical damage and be stunned. If the target hits obstacles, it will be stunned. With Abyss Walker that can be used as both offense and defense based on your position and buffs, Spear of Death will discourage your enemy to obtain a good positioning based on the scenario. Aside from a knock back, you can also get advantage from stun and AoE effect if you can manage to hit several targets with this skill.
Spear of Destruction – Moskov throws out the Spear of Destruction after powering up shortly, dealing physical damage to enemies along a straight line. For each enemy it hits, it will provide a buff of increasing attack power to Moskov which can stack up. This what makes Moskov overpowered for now. (hoping for nerf in the future). Though it requires precision, this skill can makes him a good helping hand to his allies. Aside from damage this can also boost his damage upon hitting multiple target. Don’t hesitate to use it even for the sake of assist.
Item Build
Tooth of Greed – +75 Physical Attack / 25% Lifesteal / Frenzy : When HP drops below 20%, the hero will receive an extra 10% physical lifesteal. This will gives you sustain. Just like with other marksman, Moskov needs sustain and Tooth of Greed is a good starting item that gives sustain and decent damage.
