The Beacon of Spirits!

The new mage hero, Zhuxin is the 125th hero in Mobile Legends: Bang Bang (MLBB). Zhuxin is a Mage role hero with high mobility and crowd control capabilities, allowing her to dominate exceedingly on the battlefield. Her most significant crowd-control ability is that she can displace enemies by pulling them airborne. Zhuxin’s gameplay is undoubtedly going to be much fun. In this guide, we will look at the best emblem, spell, and build, including tips and tricks to pave your way to victory with Zhuxin in Mobile Legends.

Skill Analysis

Zhuxin has three active skills and a passive skill including one special ultimate skill like most heroes in the game. In this Mobile Legends guide, we will also talk about the skills to use in certain scenarios as well as skill combos to be able to play Zhuxin to her maximum potential.

Crimson Butterflies

Every time Zhuxin channels Lantern Flare, she converts the Mana spent into up to 30 Crimson Butterflies to follow her Spirit Lantern. After Zhuxin stops channeling Lantern Flare, the Crimson Butterflies will gradually disappear, each restoring 3% of her Max Mana. Zhuxin has a naturally high base Max Mana, but it doesn’t scale with her level.

Skill 1: Fluttering Grace

  • CD: 5.5/5.2/4.9/4.6/4.3/4.0s
  • Mana Cost: 40/45/50/55/60/65

Zhuxin deals 150/162/174/186/198/210 (+30% Total Magic Power) Magic Damage to all enemies in a fan-shaped area and applies 1 stack(s) of Soul Snare. Zhuxin also slows all enemy heroes hit by 20% and gains 20% of extra Movement Speed herself for 1.5 seconds.

Skill 2: Lantern Flare

  • CD: 15/14/13/12/11/10
  • Mana Cost: 75/80/85/90/95/100

Hold: Zhuxin continuously consumes Mana while the Spirit Lantern can be moved with the skill button, dealing 35/47/59/71/83/95 (+30% Total Magic Power) Magic Damage (20% damage to Minions) to all enemies within range every 0.25 seconds and applying Soul Snare to enemies hit. When an enemy hero has 10 stacks of Soul Snare, the Crimson Butterflies will capture them, pulling them airborne for 1 second.

Release: Throws all captured enemies to the target location, dealing 180/230/280/330/380/430 (+100% Total Magic Power) Magic Damage to all enemies in the area. (If the enemy took damage several times, the subsequent damage taken is reduced by 80%.)

Skill 3: Crimson Beacon

CD: 60/55/50s

Zhuxin blinks to the target location while gaining a 400/550/700 (+100% Total Magic Power) shield. While flying, she creates a field around her for 6 seconds. The field deals 60/75/90 (+20% Total Magic Power)Magic Damage and applies 1 stack of Soul Snare to enemies every 1 second.

Skill-up method for Zhuxin

Players are expected first to unlock Zhuxin’s Second Skill and upgrade it alongside Skill 1 accordingly, and Ultimate whenever available. Skill 2 upgrade should be prioritized as it is Zhuxin’s main damage skill.

Emblem Setup

Zhuxin is a Mage role hero with a gameplay that involves dealing lots of damage to enemies whilst crowd-controlling them on the battlefield. Thus, her emblem set-up should then be able to provide as much damage and magic attack prowess meant to allow her to dominate on the battlefield. Because of this, we’ve brought up some of the best Emblem/Talent Setups that are advisable to be used for Zhuxin in Mobile Legends: Bang Bang.

The Custom Mage Emblem is advisable to be used for Zhuxin. Ever since its Revamp, the Mage emblem has given players access to three different talents. Hence, for the new Hero Zhuxin Emblem setup, the following setup is expected of players:

  • In the First Talent, we choose Agility as it provides an extra 4% Movement Speed on the battlefield thus complementing her mobility whilst she’s using her skills. This would be especially helpful during the early game phase.
  • In the Second Tier Talent, Players can pick Bargain Hunter, as it allows Zhuxin to purchase equipment and items for 95% of its original price.
  • In the Third Tier Talent, players should pick Impure Rage as it allows Zhuxin to regenerate Mana on each skill hit, it also deals extra HP-based damage to enemies hit.

Battle Spells

  • Whilst using Zhuxin, players should choose the Sprint spell, whilst roaming with Chip. As this would greatly complement her mobility especially when she uses her ultimate ability or her second skill.
  • Another spell players can consider is Flicker as it allows Zhuxin to quickly reposition in bad gank scenarios.
  • It is also advisable to use Vengeance as it increases Zhuxin’s durability, especially when she’s using her ultimate ability.

Best Builds for Zhuxin in Mobile Legends

Zhuxin is a mage role hero who deals continuous magic damage to enemies whilst also inflicting crowd control on enemies hit. She’s also quite mobile, thus making it hard for enemies to hit her whilst she’s attacking them. In short, Zhuxin’s equipment build is centered on granting Zhuxin high damage to melt down enemies whilst also giving her an edge with mobility whilst facing enemy targets. Therefore, we will discuss about the best Builds in Mobile Legends: Bang Bang for Zhuxin.

Players should first proceed with Demon boots, as they provide extra Mana regen meant to sustain Zhuxin’s skill use. One can then proceed by building Clock of Destiny, as it increases Zhuxin’s hybrid defence, whilst granting lots of mana regen for Zhuxin on the battlefield.

Following up with Ice Queen Wand would help slow down enemy heroes that are hit by her skills, thus increasing her chances of knocking them airborne. Next up, you can follow up with her signature item Wishing Lantern for extra hp based damage to burst down even the tankiest of heroes. Next up, follow up with either Genius Wand or Glowing Wand depending on enemy lineup type. Lastly, build Holy Crystal for super-high magic damage meant to help her scale well in the late game.

Mobile Legends Zhuxin Guide: Gameplay Tips

Zhuxin is a unique Mage role hero with lots of Mobility and Crowd Control capabilities in her skillset. Zhuxin excels at casually kiting enemies and wearing them down with her ranged control abilities. Still, a player must have a good understanding of the map to bring the best out of any hero. According to her gameplay, we can break it down into three phases. This MLBB Zhuxin guide includes the perfect game plan for the early, mid, and late gameplay of Zhuxin.

Early Game

Due to her skillsets and capabilities, it is mostly expected that one goes to the mid-lane with Zhuxin. First, proceed by unlocking Zhuxin’s second skill and use it to hit minions whilst also positioning it to poke the enemy mid-laner. In the early game, prioritize the second skill on enemy heroes as it grants Crowd-control effects to enemies continuously hit by the skill.

One could even use Zhuxin’s second skill to knock enemies airborne and toss them into allied Turret’s attack range. This could help Zhuxin dominate well in the early game as shoving enemies into the turret is almost a sure-kill method.

In the early game, do also remember to help your team’s jungle to secure the Jungle lane aiding him just in case there is an early game invasion. In the Early game phase, you can try out these combos to aid your damage output and effectiveness:

Skill 1 + Skill 2 (Hold)+ Skill 2 (Release to shove them airborne) + Skill 1

Mid Game

On clearing your lane’s minion waves, you can proceed to aiding your team’s gank at either Gold or EXP lane. Zhuxin should aid the team by providing extra crowd control effects to enemies, thus gradually reducing enemies’ prowess on the battlefield. On farming and building her first 3 items, Zhuxin can effectively damage and poke enemies from a safe distance

Utilize the blink and sustain perks from Zhuxin’s ultimate ability to surprise enemies and burst them down with your second skill. Do also note that whilst Zhuxin’s ultimate is active, players can quickly gather Soul Snare thus, allowing her to easily crowd-control enemies. In the Mid-game phase, you can try out these combos to aid your damage output and effectiveness.

Skill 2 combo + Skill 3 + Skill 2 combo + Skill 1

Late Game

This phase of the game is quite crucial as all players must be wary of their positioning and timing. In this phase, Zhuxin needs to avoid getting too close to enemies as she’s relatively squishy and can easily burst down. When danger is nearby, her 1st skill can instantly increase her Movement Speed, allowing her to create distance between herself and the enemy.

In teamfights, Zhuxin should engage mainly after the initiate clash, and use her ultimate skill combo to deal damage to enemies in a large area whilst controlling them and keeping a safe distance from them. In this phase, Chip should also prioritize the enemy main ADC with her crowd-control and displacement ability to give them an edge on the battlefield.
