FirstHuman FormSkill – Open Fire
Roger swiftly fires two shots in a targeted direction, inflicting significant physical damage upon striking the enemy.
The first shot ensnares the foe in a hunter’s net, reducing their movement speed. The second shot is a powerful bullet that weakens the enemy’s physical defense for a duration.

Roger gains a percentage of movement speed and attack speed for a duration.
Ultimate – Wolf Transformation

Passive: In wolf form, Roger gains physical and magic Defense as well as movement speed.
Wolf Form First Skill – Lycan Pounce
Roger lunges at the enemy, becoming untargetable, and unleashes a devastating burst of physical damage, impacting multiple foes within the vicinity.
Getting a kill or assist reduces the cooldown of this skill by a large percentage.

A comprehensive guide on how to play Roger in Mobile Legends
Recommended battle spell
The go-to choice when playing Roger as a jungler is theRetributionbattle spell.
This spell enables you to swiftly clear jungle camps, including key objectives like theLordandTurtle, accelerating your farm and item acquisition.
Additionally, you can either go for the Ice Retribution or the Bloody Retribution.
The former gives you the ability to steal movement speed from an enemy target, thereby improving your ability to chase targets down. The latter gives your the ability to siphon HP from the enemy.
If you find yourself in the side lane, Flicker can be a viable option. This spell can be used to reposition in fights offensively or defensively.
Recommended emblem
Select the Assassin emblem to bolster your adaptive penetration, adaptive attack, and movement speed.
Getting Rupture as your first standard talent can help you ramp up your early game, as the adaptive penetration makes a big difference when it comes to securing skills.
The second standard talent is adjustable, depending on what role you assume for the team. If you want to increase your utility as a jungler, take Seasoned Hunter. The damage against the Lord and Turtle makes you a threat when contesting neutral objectives.
Playing in the side lanes, you can take Festival of Blood for spell vamp. This syncs well with your damage abilities both in human and wolf forms.
For your core talent, take Killing Spree. The instant HP recovery and movement speed after a kill is crucial, especially in tight team fights where you are needed to dish out damage.
Roger best build
If you want to play an aggressive style on Roger, you may take Swift Boots. If you’re up against many magic damage heroes on the enemy team, consider getting Tough Boots instead.
Follow it up with Sky Piercer to boost your kill potential, then get Windtalker. The item allows you to continually take advantage of the Full Moon Curse passive and ramp up your early-game presence.
Continue bolstering your offense with physical attack items. You’ll be a killing machine once you buy Endless Battle,War Axeand Malefic Roar in the late-game.
When playing as a gold laner, consider getting Haas’ Claws and Great Dragon Spear as your last two items. This helps your survivability tremendously while also boosting your damage.
The best build for Roger in Mobile Legends
Easy combos to learn
Maximize both your human and wolf form abilities whether you’re playing as a jungler or as a sidelaner.
If you’re a jungler, max out skill one first to help clear camps faster. Once available, use your second skill to get to jungle camps quickly.
Activate your Open Fire in human form to a target creep, hit it with basic attacks then transform into wolf form. Use Lycan Pounce and Bloodthirsty Howl and hit creeps with more basic attacks.
You can then transform to human form again to use Hunter’s Steps to move to the next jungle camp. The same combo applies in killing minions in the lane.
When engaging an enemy hero, use your Open Fire ability to initiate, and Hunter’s Steps to close the gap. Continue kiting at a safe distance until the enemy has a low health bar.
Once you see an opening, use your Wolf Transformation and unleash massive damage with a combination of Lycan Pounce, Bloodthirsty Howl, and basic attacks.
Use Ice or Bloody Retribution on fleeing enemies, or Execute to finish them off.
