0:00Today's tutorial is about one of the
0:02fastest, deadliest, and most impressive
0:05assassins in Mobile [music] Legends.
0:07Ling.
0:08If you've ever faced a truly skilled
0:10Ling player, then you already know how
0:12terrifying this hero can be.
0:14In just a few seconds, he can cross the
0:16entire map, dive into your backline,
0:19instantly eliminate enemy carries, and
0:21disappear before anyone even has time to
0:23react. Ling has one of the most unique
0:26mechanics [music] in the game. Unlike
0:28other assassins, he can move across
0:30walls while remaining camouflaged,
0:32giving him absolutely insane mobility.
0:35This makes his map [music] presence
0:36incredibly strong, allowing for
0:38extremely fast rotations, unpredictable
0:41engages, and pick-offs that are almost
0:43impossible to avoid when executed
0:45properly.
0:46On top of his insane mobility, Ling also
0:49has massive offensive potential. His
0:52damage is capable of instantly bursting
0:54down fragile heroes within seconds,
0:56especially when he uses the famous combo
0:58that practically every Ling player wants
1:00to master perfectly.
1:01But even though the hero may look simple
1:03when you watch a pro player using him,
1:05mastering Ling is far from easy.
1:08So, if you want to master the hero,
1:10learn his combos in the easiest way
1:12possible, and carry your matches far
1:14more consistently, watch this video
1:16until the end. Here, I'll clearly
1:18explain how his passive works, break
1:20down each one of his skills, teach the
1:22easiest and most practical way to learn
1:24his main combo, and at the end, I'll
1:26share essential tips to help you
1:28maximize your gameplay with this true
1:30artist of Mobile Legends.
1:32Passive. Ling's passive is one of the
1:34main reasons why this hero is so
1:36dangerous. It multiplies his critical
1:38chance by 1.6 times, allowing him to
1:41reach extremely high crit rates much
1:43more easily than most other heroes. To
1:45make this easier to understand, let's
1:47use Haas's Claws as an example. This
1:49item grants 20% critical chance.
1:52However, thanks to Ling's passive, that
1:54value is multiplied by 1.6, meaning he
1:57gains 32% critical chance from this item
2:00alone. Any emblem, talent, or equipment
2:02that grants critical chance will also be
2:05affected by the passive.
2:06Because of this mechanic, Ling can
2:08easily reach 100% critical chance while
2:11using only a few crit focused items.
2:13Despite all this offensive potential,
2:15Ling only has 140% base critical damage,
2:18which may initially seem like a
2:20disadvantage. However, this can easily
2:22be compensated for with the correct
2:23build. Another important detail is the
2:25yellow bar below Ling's HP. This bar
2:28represents his energy, the resource used
2:30to cast his first and second skills.
2:33Ling restores five energy whenever he
2:35deals damage and additionally
2:37regenerates four extra energy per second
2:39while standing on a wall. Managing this
2:42energy properly is extremely important
2:44throughout the match, especially during
2:45extended fights and aggressive engages.
2:48Skill one.
2:50Ling's first skill is literally one of
2:51the core pillars of his entire gameplay.
2:54Ling jumps onto a designated wall and
2:56enters a camouflage state.
2:58This camouflage lasts permanently while
2:59he remains on the wall and is only
3:01canceled if Ling takes damage. Even
3:03then, he will still remain on top of the
3:05wall.
3:06However, be very careful.
3:08If Ling is hit by any crowd control
3:10effect while on a wall, he will
3:12immediately fall to the ground and
3:13suffer 30% slow for 2 seconds.
3:17Another extremely important detail is
3:18that when Ling leaves the wall normally
3:21or because of crowd control, the skill
3:23enters cool down and the cool down
3:25duration is relatively long.
3:27The biggest advantage of this skill is
3:29that Ling can jump from one wall to
3:31another without triggering the cool
3:32down.
3:33In addition, every time he switches
3:35walls, his camouflage is refreshed.
3:38Whenever Ling performs a basic attack
3:40against an enemy within range, he
3:42automatically jumps down from the wall
3:43to attack the target. Once this skill is
3:45unlocked, Ling gains an additional 2.5%
3:49critical chance. This number can reach
3:51up to 12% at the maximum skill level.
3:54And just like equipment stats, this
3:56value is also multiplied by Ling's
3:57passive.
3:59Skill two.
4:01Ling dashes in a designated direction
4:03and stabs nearby enemies, dealing
4:05physical damage that scales with his
4:07total physical attack.
4:09One extremely important detail is that
4:11the damage is not dealt by the dash
4:13itself,
4:14but by the attack performed immediately
4:16after the dash.
4:17The distance required to trigger this
4:19strike is practically the same as the
4:20dash range itself.
4:22Ling can also use this skill while
4:24standing on a wall.
4:25In this case, it will not consume
4:27energy.
4:28When used from a wall, Ling dashes in a
4:30designated direction, dealing area
4:33damage and applying 30% slow for 1.5
4:36seconds to all enemies hit. Another
4:38extremely important point is that this
4:41skill is considered a basic attack. This
4:43means it can trigger item effects that
4:45activate through basic attacks,
4:47including critical damage.
4:49Ultimate.
4:51Ling leaps into the air and crashes down
4:53onto a designated area, dealing physical
4:55damage and applying 40% slow for 1.5
4:58seconds to all enemies hit. As we can
5:01see, the ultimate has two different
5:03areas. Enemies hit in the center of the
5:05skill are knocked airborne for 1 second,
5:08while enemies hit in the outer area only
5:10suffer the slow effect. After landing,
5:13Ling creates a sword field that remains
5:15on the ground for 8 seconds. Around the
5:17edges of this field, four swords appear.
5:19When Ling picks up one of [music] these
5:21swords, he reduces the cool down of his
5:23first skill by 4 seconds, completely
5:25resets the cool down of his second
5:27skill, and additionally restores 25
5:29energy.
5:30This mechanic is exactly what makes
5:33Ling's combo so fast and difficult to
5:35follow.
5:36One of the biggest advantages of the
5:37ultimate is that Ling becomes completely
5:39immune during the entire skill
5:41animation, making him practically
5:43unstoppable while casting it.
5:45In addition, he also gains 10% bonus
5:47movement speed, making it much easier to
5:50reposition himself during the skill
5:51execution.
5:53Ling's combo.
5:55Now that we fully understand how Ling's
5:56skills work, it's time to learn the part
5:59that everyone wants to master.
6:01The hero's famous combo.
6:03Ling's combo revolves entirely around
6:05the swords created by his ultimate.
6:08These swords allow him to constantly
6:09reset the cool down of his second skill
6:12while continuing to deal damage. The
6:13most common and effective combo works
6:15like this.
6:17While standing on a wall, use the second
6:19skill to dash toward the target and
6:21apply slow. Immediately after that, use
6:23the ultimate to apply crowd control,
6:25deal additional damage, and apply even
6:28more slow.
6:29After that comes the most important part
6:31of the combo, using the second skill to
6:33collect the swords while continuing to
6:35attack the enemy.
6:36Each sword collected completely resets
6:38the cool down of the second skill,
6:40allowing Ling to chain multiple dashes
6:42very quickly during the fight. Of
6:44course, in a real match, enemies will
6:46not stand still like they do in practice
6:48mode. Many times, they will use flicker,
6:51mobility skills, or even receive
6:53protection from teammates.
6:55Because of that, mastering your movement
6:57during the ultimate is extremely
6:59important.
7:00To perform the combo as efficiently as
7:02possible, try to properly center the
7:04ultimate on the enemy.
7:06While the enemy is airborne, try to
7:08quickly perform at least two dashes to
7:09collect two swords right at the
7:11beginning of the combo.
7:13This makes it much easier to continue
7:15the engage and greatly increases your
7:17chances of eliminating the target before
7:19they can react.
7:21While Ling is still in the air during
7:22the ultimate animation, you can already
7:25aim the direction of your next second
7:26skill dash. By doing this, the dash will
7:29automatically activate the moment Ling
7:31lands on the ground.
7:33It may sound like a small detail, but it
7:35makes the execution much smoother and
7:36faster, especially during more advanced
7:39plays.
7:40One of the most common mistakes is using
7:42a dash and failing to properly reach the
7:43sword.
7:45This is extremely dangerous because
7:47without collecting the swords, you
7:48completely lose the second skill reset
7:50and also lose your escape option since
7:53the cool down of the first skill is
7:54relatively high. In practice, this very
7:57often results in death. To avoid this
7:59risk, especially while learning the
8:01hero, you can choose to start the combo
8:03from the ground and save the first skill
8:05for escaping afterward. Of course, this
8:08makes the engage slightly less
8:09efficient, but at the same time much
8:11safer. And for players who are still
8:14learning Ling, consistency and safety
8:16are often more valuable than trying to
8:18perform a perfect combo every single
8:20time.
8:21Even though the ultimate creates four
8:23swords, you do not necessarily need to
8:25collect all of them to complete the
8:27combo.
8:28Many times collecting only one or two
8:30swords is already enough to finish the
8:32target using basic attacks immediately
8:34afterward. In fact, in most real match
8:36situations, this ends up being the best
8:38decision.
8:40The more experience you gain with Ling,
8:42>> [music]
8:42>> the more natural it becomes to decide
8:43exactly how many swords you actually
8:45need in each situation.
8:48Build and emblems.
8:49Ling's main objective during matches is
8:51to quickly eliminate the most fragile
8:53enemies on the opposing team, especially
8:55mages, marksmen, and other low
8:58resistance carries. To perform this role
9:00efficiently, it is extremely important
9:02to invest in items focused on burst
9:04damage, attack speed, and especially
9:06critical damage, one of the most
9:08important attributes in Ling's entire
9:10kit.
9:11Berserker's Fury is practically a
9:13mandatory item for Ling. Besides
9:15granting a large amount of critical
9:17chance, this item also significantly
9:19increases Ling's critical damage,
9:22something extremely important since his
9:24base critical damage is only 140%.
9:26Another extremely strong item for Ling
9:28is Haas's Claws. Besides granting
9:31critical chance, the item also provides
9:33attack speed and life steal, two
9:35extremely valuable attributes for the
9:37hero. Endless Battle also works
9:39extremely well on Ling, mainly because
9:41the hero constantly alternates between
9:43skills and basic attacks during his
9:45combos. The item provides several
9:47extremely useful attributes, such as
9:49additional true damage, sustain, cool
9:52down reduction, and movement speed,
9:55making Ling's gameplay much more
9:56efficient.
9:58Since Ling's main objective is to
9:59instantly burst down enemy carries,
10:01Blade of Despair becomes an essential
10:04item in his build. This equipment
10:06drastically increases the hero's burst
10:07damage, allowing Ling to eliminate
10:09fragile targets within seconds. The most
10:12recommended emblems for Ling right now
10:14are the Assassin and Marksman emblems.
10:16Both work extremely well on the hero. As
10:19for talents, I recommend using fatal in
10:21the first slot, Seasoned Hunter in the
10:23second slot,
10:24and in the final slot you can choose
10:26between War Cry or Killing Spree. These
10:28are some of the builds I recommend the
10:30most, especially for players who are
10:32just starting to learn the hero. Of
10:34course, no build is completely fixed.
10:36Feel free to adapt the items according
10:38to your playstyle, the enemy
10:39composition, and the specific needs of
10:42each match.
10:43Tips to improve your gameplay with Ling.
10:46Despite having excellent finishing
10:48potential, Ling has a considerably
10:50weaker early game compared to several
10:52other assassins in the game.
10:54A huge part of his offensive power
10:55depends directly on his items,
10:58especially critical damage items.
11:00Because of that, during the early stages
11:02of the match, your main priority should
11:04be farming as much as possible and
11:06accelerating your core items before
11:08starting to make highly aggressive
11:09plays.
11:11Ideally, you should focus on completing
11:13at least two full items before
11:14consistently looking for riskier
11:16engages.
11:18Even though Ling clears the jungle more
11:19slowly than some assassins, he
11:21compensates for it with extremely high
11:23mobility, allowing fast rotations around
11:26the map and much greater freedom to
11:27control resources.
11:29His first skill is undoubtedly one of
11:31the most important tools in his entire
11:33kit.
11:34Besides the absurd mobility,
11:36it also grants camouflage, allowing Ling
11:39to move across the map quickly while
11:41staying relatively safe.
11:43With this ability, you can steal enemy
11:45jungle resources, control waves very
11:47efficiently, pressure lanes quickly,
11:50>> [music]
11:50>> and most importantly, reach poorly
11:52positioned enemies with great
11:53effectiveness.
11:55However, there is one extremely
11:56important limitation,
11:58energy consumption.
12:00Many beginner Ling players make the
12:02mistake of constantly jumping across
12:04walls without properly managing this
12:06resource.
12:07Even though his mobility looks almost
12:09limitless, Ling's energy runs out very
12:12quickly if you spam skills without
12:14planning.
12:15In many situations throughout the match,
12:18especially outside of fights,
12:19it will be far more worth it to simply
12:21walk normally on the ground instead of
12:23wasting energy flying between walls
12:25unnecessarily.
12:27Another extremely important point is
12:29being careful with crowd control
12:30abilities.
12:31As mentioned earlier, any form of
12:33control received while Ling is on a wall
12:36immediately knocks him down and puts his
12:37first skill on cool down.
12:39If you do not have your ultimate
12:41available to escape, there often will
12:43not be much you can do after getting
12:44caught.
12:46It is also important to remember that
12:47the first skill enters cool down every
12:49time Ling leaves a wall, including when
12:51using the second skill or performing
12:53basic attacks.
12:54Knowing exactly when to climb walls and
12:57when to leave them is one of the most
12:58important parts of mastering the hero.
13:01His second skill is his main source of
13:02damage during almost the entire match.
13:05Besides dealing extremely high damage,
13:08it is also perfect for fast and nearly
13:10unpredictable engages when used from a
13:12wall.
13:13From the enemy's perspective, it often
13:14feels like Ling simply appears out of
13:16nowhere, almost like a teleport.
13:19And you have probably experienced this
13:20exact type of engage at some point.
13:23Use this advantage mainly to reach enemy
13:25carries such as mages and marksmen.
13:27Since they usually have low mobility and
13:30very little durability.
13:32Ling's ultimate also plays an extremely
13:34important role in this process.
13:36Besides the damage and crowd control,
13:39the immunity during the animation allows
13:40Ling to dive aggressively into team
13:42fights without being interrupted
13:44immediately.
13:45This makes eliminating enemy carries
13:47much easier.
13:49In addition to its offensive use, the
13:51ultimate can also be used defensively to
13:53escape dangerous situations, reposition
13:55during fights, or even dodge important
13:58enemy abilities.
13:59During team fights, the crowd control
14:01provided by the skill can also make a
14:03massive difference, especially in
14:05chaotic fights around objectives.
14:08And finally, never forget that Ling is
14:10still an extremely fragile hero.
14:13Even with all of his mobility, he can be
14:15eliminated very quickly if he gets hit
14:17by crowd control or positions poorly
14:18during a fight.
14:20Knowing exactly when to engage
14:21aggressively is one of the most
14:23important skills for any Ling player,
14:25especially during the late game where
14:27mages and marksmen can burst you down
14:29within seconds if you make a mistake.
