Vexana’s Skills in MLBB

Here is a brief description of all the abilities of Vexana in MLBB and how to use them effectively with sample combos provided below:

Passive: Nether Touch

Vexana and the Eternal Guard inflict Nether Curse on enemies hit. The Curse lasts 5 seconds and will cause the affected enemy to explode upon death, dealing [108-500 (+60%Total Magic Power) Magic Damage to nearby enemies (base damage scales with level). Vexana’s passive lets her clear her wave early to late game easily for her to move around the map much more than her counterpart. With the use of both skill 1 and 2 on the wave, it will be easily cleared out faster than her opponent.

Skill 1: Deathly Grasp

Vexana unleashes a Deathly Grasp in the target direction, dealing 200 (+60%Total Magic Power) Magic Damage to enemies in its path. The projectile stops upon hitting an enemy hero, terrifying them and knocking them back, then it explosed, dealing 200 (+60%Total Magic Power) Magic Damage to nearby enemies and terrifying them for 1s. The first crowd control skill Vexana has to setup most of her skills. Having that 1 second crowd control helps skill 2 burst hit the target or follow up with the ultimate for another crowd control spell.

Skill 2: Cursed Blast

Vexana marks the target area with the power of the undead, striking it after a 0.8s delay and dealing 580 (+165%Total Magic Power) Magic Damage to enemies hit. Heavy burst damage with a low cooldown to clear waves or damage enemies with. This can be used after the crowd control skills of Vexana for it to increase the chances of it hitting.

Ultimate: Eternal Guard

Vexana summons an Eternal Guard at the target location, dealing 500 (+60%Total Magic Power) Magic Damage to enemies hit and knocking them airborne for 0.6s. The Eternal Guard then joins Vexana in battle for 15s. Each of the Eternal Guard’s attacks deals 225 (+40%Total Magic Power) plus 5% of the target’s Max HP as Magic Damage to enemies in a large area. The second crowd control skill Vexana has to combo off the first one. This is the best teamfight tool she has to knock up a huge area while summoning another body for opponent to target. Here are some of the combos you can use for Vexana: Clear Wave: Skill 1 -> Skill 2 -> Auto attack -> Passive explodes Crowd Control Heavy: Skill 1 -> Ultimate -> Skill 2 Engage Multi-Hero Teamfights: Ultimate -> Skill 2 -> Skill 1
