Introduction
Balmond is one of the most popular heroes in Mobile Legends together with Yun Zhao. And as I main this hero, I tried several build to unleash his full potential in battle until I came to this point of concluding the best gear for him. Aside from perfect item build, I’m also going to share the mechanics of this build so you can become MVP on every match you play.
To be honest the concept of this build is based on how I build my Garen in full AD. And just like Garen, Balmond has natural tankiness due to his passive. He is also a spin-to-win champion that makes me convinced that this build is going to work. So let’s go!
Pro
+AoE damage – This is the best thing in this build. As you can see two of Balmond’s skills are AoE. With this build, you will never have a problem with multiple kills.
+Critical procs well with your 2nd skill – This is our bread-and-butter. The key in this build.
Cons
-off-tank – Balmond is played to be an initiator thus he should be build as full tank. But unlike with traditional Balmond build, we will make him a nonstop killing machine.
Item build
Blade of Destruction – +75 Physical Attack / 20% Critical Strike Chance / 50% Critical Damage / Doom : Critical strikes will increase on’e physical attack by 5% lasting 2 seconds.
You need 5 pieces of Sword of Destruction to have 100% critical strike chance. This will also gives +75 physical attack. Some Pro players like me questioning my build of why not other item that gives critical chance such as Thor Sting, Despair, or Phantom. Actually those items are in between. I need to ensure a 100% critical rate to make this build work while not sacrificing my attack damage. I’m very comfortable that only 5 pieces of Sword of Destruction can make this build works like a charm. You need 100% critical chance to works with your spin and that will make him overpowered.
Rapid Boots – +50 movement speed.
For the last slot which is going to be my 2nd item in this build, I go for Rapid Boots. I need a good investment on movement speed so I can roam and be a real nonstop killing machine.
