Mobile Legends Hanabi guide: Best build, skills, emblem, combos
Make the Scarlet Shadow clan proud.
Updated on September 20, 1 p.m. (GMT+8): Adjusted best build and emblem based on MLBB patch 1.9.06B.
It takes just a few minutes to pick upHanabiinMobile Legends: Bang Bang, but hundreds of hours to fully master her playstyle.
Her insane damage in the late game, coupled with her built-in Purify spell on Ninjutsu: Equinox, makes up for her lack of mobility and subpar base stats in the early to mid game.
Positioning and prioritizing targets in team fights are essential if you want to master the marksman in ranked, especially in Mythic where almost all players know how to counter her.
If you’re up to the challenge, here’s an in-depth guide on how to play Hanabi, including her best build, and recommended emblem set and battle spell.
Hanabi’s skills in Mobile Legends
Passive – Ninjutsu: Petal Barrage
Hanabi’s basic attack and skills will launch Petal Blades after hitting a target, bouncing up to a number of times to nearby enemies.
Skill 1 – Ninjutsu: Equinox
Using the secret ninjutsu of the Scarlet Shadow, Hanabi gains a shield for several seconds. While the shield is active, Hanabi gains extra movement speed, attack speed, and control immunity.
A percentage of the damage dealt will also be added to the shield value when it’s active. Damage dealt to non-hero units will only add a particular percentage of the damage dealt.
Skill 2 – Ninjutsu: Soul Scroll
Hanabi fires the energy kunai in the targeted direction, dealing physical damage to enemies along the way and heavily reducing their movement speed for a second.
Enemy units hit will also be marked, allowing Hanabi’s next bounce damage from basic attacks to deal physical damage on them with no damage decay.
Ultimate – Forbidden Jutsu: Higanbana
Higanbana now also triggers her passive. The first hero hit is immobilized, and Higanbana blooms at that location after a short delay to deal AOE damage.
A comprehensive guide on how to play Hanabi in Mobile Legends
Recommended battle spells
Hanabi’s strength lies in sustained team fights, thanks to her passive life steal and crowd-control immunity during her skill usage. Aegis provides a shield that can help Hanabi survive burst damage, especially when enemies dive or initiate a team fight.
Given that Hanabi lacks a natural escape mechanism, the shield from Aegis can buy her crucial time to reposition or turn the tide in a fight.
Depending on the enemy composition and your playstyle preference, Flicker can also be an effective battle spell.
As a marksman with low mobility,Flickeraddresses Hanabi’s greatest weakness which is her vulnerability to crowd control and assassins.
Flicker allows her to instantly escape dangerous situations or reposition during fights, helping her maintain her distance from threats. It also offers offensive utility, enabling her to initiate with a well-timed ultimate or chase down low-health enemies.
Recommended emblem
If you’re playing Hanabi, the Marksman emblem is the optimal choice. This gives you additional Attack Speed, Adaptive Attack, as well as Lifesteal.
Additionally, selecting talents that enhance her Basic Attack damage output is crucial. Start with Swift, which boosts her Attack Speed.
Next, opt for Weapons Master to increase her physical attack, followed by Weakness Finder, which slows down enemies’ movement and attack speed.
This talent combination guarantees that Hanabi will excel in the later stages of the game, especially after obtaining all her core items.
Hanabi best build
Hanabi’s petal barrage also triggers attack effects. That said, Hanabi benefits from the unique passive of items such as Corrosion Scythe, Demon Hunter Sword, and Golden Staff.
In the late game, purchase Sea Halberd to deal with durable heroes due to the Lifebane passive. Aside from the passive, you also get a good boost in your Physical Attack and Attack Speed.
In the late game, you can opt for Rose Gold Meteor or Wind of Nature as your final item. Build the former if the enemy team has burst magic damage dealers. Choose the latter if you’re facing heavy physical damage heroes.
If you’re dealing with both Physical and Magic burst damage, you can swap out Sea Halberd with Wind of Nature instead.

Easy combos to learn
In the laning phase, harass the enemy gold laner with Ninjutsu: Soul Scroll and basic attacks. Don’t go deep in the lane unless the enemy roamer is with you or if the jungler is en route to gank your lane.
If the enemy tries to fight back, activate Ninjutsu: Equinox to gain a shield.
In team fights, you want to manually aim your Forbidden Jutsu: Higanbana if an enemy dives toward you, or if all five of them are clumped up together.
After hitting your ultimate, cast Ninjutsu: Soul Scroll, activate Inspire and use auto attacks to deal insane amounts of DPS damage.
During this time, you may also use Ninjutsu: Equinox for the attack speed increase. However, it’s best if you save the skill whenever an assassin or a hero with crowd control lunges at you.
It’s all about positioning when using the Scarlet Flower, and establishing a solid position in team fights is the key to getting out unscathed.
