This allows him to be at the vanguard for his team in fights as he can soak enormous amounts of damage and deal magic damage at the same time.
This solid blend of offense and defense, alongside his ability to provide incredible utility for his allies, makes him an impactful hero in all stages of the game especially in the roamer role— if you play him correctly.
In this comprehensive guide, you’ll learn everything you need to know about the legendary centaur, including his skills, combos, emblems, battle spells, best build, and some tips to help you get started.
Hylos’ skills in Mobile Legends
Passive – Thickened Blood
Hylos gains extra Max HP for every extra Max Mana he possesses. When out of Mana, Hylos can use his HP for skill casts.
First Skill – Law and Order
Hylos gains a percentage of Movement Speed and causes his next Basic Attack within a few seconds to deal Magic Damage to a target, and knock back and stun him for a quick duration.
Second Skill – Ring of Punishment
Hylos releases the Ring of Punishment, dealing Magic Damage to nearby enemies per second while slowing them down and reducing their Attack Speed by a certain percentage for a duration (up to a number of stacks).
Each stack also increases the enemy’s damage taken from the Ring of Punishment by a percentage. The ability continually consumes mana when active. Use again: Hylos cancels the Ring of Punishment.
Ultimate – Glorious Pathway
Hylos creates a huge pathway in the target direction, reducing the enemies’ Movement Speed immensely for a quick duration. The pathway lasts for a couple of seconds.
When on the pathway, Hylos gains Slow Immunity and recovers a percentage of his Max HP per second. Allied heroes moving along the pathway gain extra Movement Speed, while the enemy heroes on the pathway will be slowed by a huge percentage.

Recommended battle spell for Hylos
Revitalize is an effective battle spell to boost the Grand Warden’s utility in prolonged team fights.
The percentage Max HP regeneration also syncs well with the hero’s passive and can help rapidly rejuvenate your lost HP to maintain your position at the front of your team.
This can also be a valuable tool to assist your low HP teammates when they get targeted by the enemy. This way, you may help your allies regenerate and open a chance to initiate a counter-engage.
Another good option is the Vengeance battle spell. This makes the tank even sturdier as he can soak more damage and reflect it as Magic Damage.
This is most effective when you find yourself head-to-head with high-damage, high attack speed, but squishy heroes like most marksmen and mages.
Recommended emblem for Hylos
Take the Tank Emblem for a boost in HP, Hybrid Defense, and HP Regen. Vitality, Tenacity, and Concussive Blast are the best talents to get for Hylos.
Vitality gives you a major boost in your HP, which is crucial for a tank like Hylos who needs to be in the front line often in team fights. The extra HP also helps you sustain damage and apply pressure on the enemies early.
Tenacity and Concussive Blast both enhance your survivability and damage output.
Tenacity increases your Physical and Magic Defense when your HP drops below a threshold, making it harder for enemies to burst you down in critical moments.
Meanwhile, Concussive Blast adds an extra burst of magic damage every few seconds, which scales with your max HP, further increasing your damage in team fights.
Best build for Hylos

As the game progresses to the mid to late game, purchase Guardian’s Helmet to get a huge boost in your HP as well as regeneration effects. Finally, purchase Immortality for late game insurance.
When playing Hylos in theEXP lane, it is recommended to purchase Dominance Ice as your first core item, then Athena’s Shield to deal with heroes with Burst Magic Damage.
Build Antique Cuirass to counter heroes who rely on Physical Damage, then Radiant Armor to negate enemy heroes who deal continuous Magic Damage heroes. Finally, purchase Immortality.

Tips and easy combos to learn
Due to your durability and utility, you will play as the team’s frontline hero.
Your job will be to control the enemy and soak damage, to give time for your damage dealers to position and unleash destruction on the opposition.
To do this, you need to capitalize on your unique abilities to get to the front lines as much as you can. Use Law and Order to quickly close the gap to your target.
It’s recommended to useHero Lock modeso you can apply the stun on the next Basic Attack to the right target.
After that, activate the Ring of Punishment skill. The damage and slow effects from this ability soften the enemy, enough for your teammates to catch up and take the target down. Use Glorious Pathway if the enemy survives and tries to escape.
There are also times when need to initiate using your ultimate. Do this when the enemy team is on the back pedal, unwilling to engage, or outnumbered.
Remember, to communicate with your team regarding your targets before initiating. You should never charge without your teammates ready to back you up as you may find yourself in an off position, and outnumbered by the enemy.
