Johnson Mobile Legends Build – Beginner’s Guide

Johnson is a tank hero who specializes in supporting allies and crowd control. He can go around the map fast with one of his teammate with his Ultimate and to take down and surprise enemies. He also has high survivability with his innate tankiness and passive.

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 / Electro-airbag: When Johnson’s HP is lower than 30%, he g ains 300 shield for 10 seconds. This effect has a cooldown of 100 seconds.

Skill 1 / Deadly Pincers: Johnson throws a spanner in the designated direction that deals magic damage to enemies on its path. Enemies in the are that the spanner lands will be stunned by 0.8 seconds.

Skill 2 / Electromag Rays: Johnson raises his shield, continuously dealing magic damage forwards in a fan-shape area and slowing enemies by 20%. Johnson can cast basic attack and skills normally while the shield is raised up.

Skill 3 / Rapid Touchdown: Passive: Permanently increases Physical Defense by 10%. Johnson jumps up and transforms into a car, accelerating over time. Only 1 teammate can get in the car when it is at low speed, and then they will rush forward along with Johnson. The car will explode upon hitting an enemy hero, stunning the target and nearby enemies for 0.5-1 second, and dealing 300 magic damage according to the car’s speed. After the explosion, the ground will be electrified, slowing enemies and dealing magic damage to those who are in the area. When the car is going slowly, tap the skill to Throttle again to move faster. Tap the skill Brake to stop immediately, Hold the Nitrous skill to increase speed for up to 5 seconds. When he starts driving, Johnson’s location is revealed and made visible for 3 seconds.
