Barats’ skills in Mobile Legends: Bang Bang
Passive – Big Guy
Detona gains a stack of Big Guy for a couple of seconds each time it or Barats damages an enemy with their skills (up to several stacks).
Each stack of Big Guy increases Detona’s size and grants extra Hybrid Defense (scales with the level of Detona’s Welcome) and extra resilience.
At max stacks, Detona’s Basic Attacks will be replaced with Trample which deals with Physical Damage to enemies in a circular area, slowing them, and refreshing the duration of Big Guy with each hit.
First skill – So-Called Teamwork
Detona spits contaminated oil in the target direction, dealing Physical Damage to enemies in a fan-shaped area. Barats then ignites the oil with a firecracker, dealing Physical to enemies in the area.
Second skill – Missile “Expert”
Barats fires two missiles at the target location, dealing Physical Damage and slowing enemies for a duration.
The missiles expel fumes from their exhausts upon landing, dealing Physical Damage to enemies in a rectangular area and pushing them toward Barats.
Ultimate – Detona’s Welcome
After a short delay, Detona charges in the target direction, dealing Physical Damage to the first enemy hit, devouring and suppressing them for a few seconds before spitting them out.
If the target hits an enemy hero or a wall after being spat out, the target will cause an explosion, they and nearby enemies will take an additional Physical Damage and will be stunned for a duration.
A comprehensive guide on how to play Barats in Mobile Legends
Recommended battle spell
Due to his insane durability and sustainable damage output, Barats can be an effective jungle hero. The Retribution battle spell can amplify his camp clear and allow him to compete for objectives.
More than that, the battle spell, specifically the Ice Retribution variant, can improve his kill potential. This allows you to steal movement speed from your target depending on your level for several seconds, making you agile while slowing them down.
This synergizes well with the hero’s skill kit which is focused on soft but continuous crowd-control with damage.
If not played as a jungler, Flicker is the next best battle spell option. This boosts the tank’s mobility and utility and allows you to land the Detona’s Welcome easily.
Recommended emblem
When playing as a jungler, choose the tank emblem as it provides much-needed defensive attributes for Barats’ playstyle.
Take Vitality as the first-tier talent. This gives extra max HP which is significant especially in early-game fights and objective contests.
Seasoned Hunter is a great option for your second-tier talent. The increased damage against the Lord and Turtle gives you an advantage in objective contests.
Finally, go for Concussive Blast as your core talent. Since you will be front and center in fights, the HP-based Area-of-Effect damage is a good plus to your damage output.
Barats best build
After boots, prioritize getting War Axe to boost your damage output and HP, and reduce cooldown.
The item’s passive, Fighting Stance grants you extra Physical Attack and the ability to deal True Damage and stacks for a number of times.
After that, focus on building more defensive items Start by getting Guardian’s Helmet. The item gives a substantial boost in your HP and regeneration, tremendously increasing your uptime on the battlefield.
Transition to the mid-game by acquiring Dominance Ice for anti-heal effects, and Athena’s Shield to reduce Magic Damage. Dominance Ice can be exchanged for Brute Force Breastplate if one of your teammates already has Dominance Ice.
