Cecilion, the Embrace of Night, is Carmilla’s lover inMobile Legends: Bang Bang.
In their version of a modern romance story, Cecilion revived her from the dead and turned her into a Blood Demon so that she may live.
When played together, they gain a unique ability each called “Moonlit Waltz” that enhances their gameplay.
Nonetheless, Cecilion is capable of holding his own, and is a strong hero that can be played solo. If you’re still new to this hero, here’s an extensive guide to help you.
Cecilion’s skills in Mobile Legends
Passive – Overflowing
Cecilion increases his Max Mana and restores the same amount of Mana when his skill hits an enemy target. He also has higher Max Mana and Mana Regen, and his skill damage scales with his Max Mana.
First skill – Bat Impact
Cecilion orders a giant bat to dive in a designated direction, dealing Magic Damage to enemies on the path. The giant bat will stay at its destination and launch another attack, dealing Magic Damage to enemies and triggering Overflowing an extra time. In a couple of seconds, every time Cecilion casts this skill, the mana cost will be increased. While casting this skill, he also gains Movement Speed for a second.
Second skill – Sanguine Claws
Cecilion summons a pair of claws in a designated location. After a short delay, the claws will move toward each other and pull enemies along the way to the center, dealing Magic Damage and immobilizing them for a second.
Ultimate – Bats Feast
Cecilion unleashes Blood Demon power for a duration, increasing his Movement Speed and gaining immunity to slow effects. Meanwhile, he shoots bolts of blood energy at the enemies nearby, each dealing Magic Damage and inflicting slow effects. Hitting an enemy allows him to regenerate HP.
Special skill – Moonlit Waltz
When Carmilla Carmilla is nearby, Cecilion can call her into a Vermil Shadow possessed by him for a duration, providing a shield that scales with Carmilla’s level. Carmilla can select a target place and land on there, gaining equal shield, dealing Magic Damage which also scales with her level within the area of effect, and slowing enemis down.
A comprehensive guide on how to play Cecilion in Mobile Legends
Recommended battle spell
Since Cecilion lacks a mobility skill,Flickeris the most optimal choice. It allows you to escape from danger, reposition in team fights, or chase down enemies.
If the enemy team has a lot of crowd control, it is wise to choose Purify. Cecilion relies heavily on maintaining positioning and casting abilities uninterrupted to maximize damage output.
With Purify, you can quickly break free from stuns, slows, or roots, allowing you to reposition and continue dealing sustained damage during team fights.
Recommended emblem
Mage Emblem works best for Cecilion because it provides a significant amount of Magic Power, Cooldown Reduction, and Magic Penetration.
Alternatively, you can opt for the Assassin emblem if you want to play aggressively. This gives you a boost in Penetration, Attack, and Movement Speed.
For talents, choose Rupture for additional penetration, and Weapons Master to increase Magic Power gained from equipment, emblem, talents, and skills.
Pick Impure Rage as your primary talent. It enables you to deal a percentage of your target’s current HP, and restore some of your mana, allowing you to consistently poke opponents.
Cecilion best build
Purchase Demon Boots early to make sure you will not run out of Mana during the laning phase.
Focus on getting Clock of Destiny and Glowing Wand in the early to mid-game. Clock of Destiny allows you to scale well going to the late game, while Glowing Wand is crucial for its passive burn effect, amplifying your poke damage with Bat Impact. It also provides bonus health for added survivability.

The best build for Cecilion in Mobile Legends
Tips and easy combos to learn
Cecilion is a late-game mage who excels at dealing massive area-of-effect damage. To maximize his potential, play cautiously in the early game, focus on farming, and scaling his mana pool.
Use Bat Impact to clear waves and poke enemies while staying safe behind your tank or turret. Prioritize building Clock of Destiny to amplify his scaling and avoid overextending, as he’s vulnerable to early-game ganks.
In the mid game, Cecilion’s team fight presence becomes more significant. Position yourself at the backline and use Sanguine Claws strategically to root key enemies or disrupt advancing foes.
Pair this with Bat Impact to deal devastating bursts of damage. Stay with your team during skirmishes, and maintain good positioning to avoid assassins, as the hero lacks mobility.
By the late game, you can be a dominant force capable of turning team fights. Activatee Bat Impact frequently to poke enemies from afar and chip away at grouped opponents.
Use Bats Feast wisely during critical moments for sustain and to secure kills in prolonged fights. Always stay at the backline and let your team shield you from incoming threats.
With items like Divine Glaive and Blood Wings, your damage and survivability will peak, allowing you to control the battlefield and carry your team to victory.
