Layla’s skills in Mobile Legends
Passive – Malefic Gun
Layla deals increased damage to enemies farther away from her. This does not include Turrets.
First skill – Malefic Bomb
Layla fires a Malefic Bomb in the target direction, dealing Physical Damage to the first enemy hit (can critically strike). Upon hitting an enemy, Layla’s Basic Attacks and Void Projectile Void Projectile gain extra range for a few seconds, and she gains Movement Speed that decays over time. The duration of the Movement Speed boost is doubled if an enemy hero is hit.
Second skill – Void Projectile
Layla fires an orb of Malefic Energy that explodes on hit, dealing Physical Damage to targets in the area and applying Magic Mark on them for a few seconds. When Layla hits an enemy with a Magic Mark, she deals Physical Damage to nearby enemies and stuns them for a duration.
Ultimate – Destruction Rush
Layla fires a blast of Malefic Energy in the target direction, dealing Physical Damage to enemies in a line.
Passive: The range of Layla’s Void Projectile Void Projectile and Basic Attacks is increased by a certain number of units. Her sight range is also slightly increased each time this skill is upgraded.
A comprehensive guide on how to play Layla in Mobile Legends
Recommended battle spell
As Layla lacks a reliable mobility skill, choose Flicker as your battle spell. Use it to escape from approaching enemies, or chase down opponents with low health.
Purify is another good battle spell option. As a marksman with no escape abilities, the hero often becomes an easy target for enemies with stuns, slows, or immobilizations.
Using Purify allows her to cleanse these effects instantly, providing her with a crucial moment to reposition, continue dealing damage, or escape from dangerous situations.
Recommended emblem
Assassin emblem works best for Layla, for it grants a significant boost to her Penetration, Attack Damage, and Movement Speed.
In terms of standard talents, select Fatal for extra critical chance and damage, as well as Weapon Master for additional physical attack from equipment, emblem, talents, and skills.
For your core talent, choose Quantum Charge, which improves your survivability. It provides you with additional movement speed and HP restoration.
Alternatively, if you want to play aggressively, you may opt for Weakness Finder. It enables you to slow down your target’s movement and attack speed. Additionally, it synergizes well with her long attack range.
Layla best build
As the marksman, you need to serve as the main damage dealer of your team. Purchase items that will boost your physical attack, critical chance and damage, attack speed, and lifesteal.
Start with Swift Boots, then buy Wind Talker for a boost your Attack Speed, Crit Chance, and Movement Speed. It also has a unique passive called Typhoon that allows you to deal splash damage from time to time.
Follow with Berserker’s Fury for additional Physical Attack and Crit Chance.
As you progress to the mid to late game, boost your damage with Haas’ Claws,Malefic Gun, and finally, Sea Halberd. Not only will you benefit from the elevated kill potential, but each item also provides unique passives that help boost your strength and mitigate your weakness.
Haas’ Claws boost your Attack Speed based on your Crit Chance, while Malefic Gun increases your Physical Penetration and range.
Sea Halberd allows you to deal regeneration-based heroes likeUranus,EsmeraldaorYu Zhong.
You may consider buyingWind of Natureor Rose Gold Meteor if the enemy team has an assassin or mage that can threaten you at the backline.
The best build for Layla in Mobile Legends
Easy combos to learn
In the laning phase, hit your opponent with Malefic Bomb followed by Void Projectile and basic attacks.
Remember, you have to hit Malefic Bomb and get the bonus range first before going for subsequent attacks so you won’t get into a dangerous spot.
Be patient in chipping away the HP of your enemy, and don’t dive mindlessly, as the other team’s roamer or jungler might just be waiting in the bushes.
When your target’s HP gets low, take them down from afar using Destruction Rush. Unleash it when they already used up their blink or dash ability so they can’t dodge the ultimate.
During team fights, stay at the backline and keep using Malefic Bomb. If you have Flicker, use it to reposition if necessary.
