Balmond Mobile Legends Build – Beginner’s Guide

Balmond is a fighter hero that has good AoE damage and can also be tank for the team because of its durability and regeneration. He is known for securing kills using his ultimate and is a very recommended hero for beginners.

Disclaimer: I’m just a casual gamer and not a pro. I just want to share with you things that works very well for me when playing this hero.

Skills

Passive / Bloodthirst: Balmond recovers HP everytime he kills a minion or creeps (8%) and enemy hero (20%)

Skill 1 / Soul Lock: Balmond dashes forward and dealing physical damage to enemy units along the way. After hitting the target, he will immediately stop and slow the enemy by 40% for 2 seconds.

Skill 2 / Cyclone Sweep: Balmond spins and brandishes his large axe for 3 seconds, dealing physical damage to nearby enemies. Each time an enemy is hit, the next damage will increase by 25%, capped at 100%. Damage can be critical.

Skill 3 / Lethal Counter: Balmond raises his axe, dealing physical damage plus 20% of the target’s lost HP as true damage in a fan shaped area in front of him and slowing them by 40% for 2 seconds. It can deal up to 1300 damage to non hero-units.
