Skill analysis

Argus is a hero with the common four skill sets of one passive and three actives. In this Argus guide, let’s see what are his abilities in Mobile Legends, and when you can use which skill to get the best out of him.

Passive – Warmonger (Burst)

Every time Argus takes or deals damage his blade gains charges which can be seen below his health bar. When it is fully charged his next basic attack hits thrice rapidly while dealing physical damage (+270% Physical ATK) and restoring 90 HP for himself. He slashes towards the target while casting a third empowered basic attack.

Skill 1 – Demonic Grip (Blink, CC)

CD- 15/14.2/13.4/12.6/11.8/11

Argus unleashes his demonic hand towards a specified direction while dealing 125/150/175/200/225/250 amount of physical damage and Argus will pull himself towards the target, stunning them for 1 second. Using it again will make him charge towards any direction while dealing 175/200/225/250/275/300 amount of physical damage to enemies.

Skill 2 – Meteoric Sword (AoE, Speed Up)

After charging for a while Argus strikes the enemies with his blade while dealing 200/230/260/290/320/350 amount of physical damage and slowing them down for 0.8 seconds by 80%. Upon a successful hit the enemy will be cursed for the next 4 seconds and take 35/40/45/50/55/60 amount of physical damage every 0.3 seconds while moving, not only that, while cursed the target leaves a cursed trail that grants Argus extra 40% movement speed while stepping on that trail.

Mobile Legends Argus Gameplay Tips

We can play Argus as a mass-damage dealer in a team fight since his ultimate skill makes him very durable. When playing Argus in the off-lane we can rank him as an A-tier pick and an easy-to-play champion. You can play him as a Fighter or an Initiator. According to her gameplay, we can break it down into three phases. Our Mobile Legends Argus guide includes the perfect game plan for the early, mid, and late game in the game. However, a player must need a good understanding of the map to bring the best out of any hero.

Early Phase

As a fighter goes top/Exp lane, clear the first minion wave between turrets. Then take the Lizard. At .45 sec take the small gold crab. If your mid-laner provides support, invade enemy buff, or else again go back to your lane and clear minions.

Prioritize Berserker’s Fury after buying boots (250 golds) and try to cast your skill 2 on the enemy and chase that hero if that hero is low on HP. In the early game be smart on using the first skill cause it can be used as an escape skill if you are stuck. You can perform the following skill combos to gain an early advantage in your early game.

Skill 1+Skill 2+Skill 1

Mid Phase

This is the main phase for Argus. Do not feed to enemies and do not waste your skill 1 like any other skills. This skill 1 is the main escape/damage dealing skill. Try to master it to avoid all kinds of ganks. As an Offlaner, your main duty is to push the turret, and whenever 2/3 enemy heroes are dead help your team to take the turtle. Do not leave your lane wide open but if needed do a quick rotation in mid and help your carry to get kills. Perform the following skill move to get the maximum damage on the battlefield.

Skill 1+Skill 2+Skill 3+Skill 1

Late Phase

Rotate with your team in this last phase, he is now too powerful to wipe out the whole enemy team but once you get suppressed by the enemy during ultimate you will be dead so try to cast your ultimate wisely.

Try to lure enemies and then do a sudden attack with your team, or else follow your Tank and wait for the right moment to leap in the gank and always mark for the enemy damage dealer. End your late game, with this super effective skill combo.

Skill 1+Skill 3+Skill 1+Skill 2

If the whole enemy team is busy killing your ally, then check bush and slain the lord according to the situation.
