Zhask’s skills in Mobile Legends: Bang Bang
Passive – Decimation
Upon death, Zhask summons a frenzied Nightmaric Spawn on the spot, which gradually loses HP over time until death.
Skill 1 – Nightmaric Spawn
Zhask summons a Nightmaric Spawn that deals magic damage to nearby enemies. After every several number of attacks, it fires a Death Ray at the target, dealing magic damage and slowing down enemies.
Skill 2 – Mind Eater
Zhask fires a penetrating psychic beam in the designated direction, dealing magic damage to enemies along the way. Nightmaric Spawn will also cast Mind Eater at the same location. If an enemy is hit by both beams, they will be stunned.
Skill 3 – Hive Clones
Zhask releases a swarm of Hive Clones in the targeted direction. The clones will explode and deal magic damage to enemies on contact, reducing their Movement Speed.
Ultimate – Dominator’s Descent
Zhask combines himself with the Nightmaric Spawn, greatly increasing its attributes while enhancing his skills.
A comprehensive guide to playing Zhask in Mobile Legends
Recommended battle spell
Flicker is the safest choice for a battle spell since Zhask’s only mobility skill is his ultimate, Dominator’s Descent, which has a lengthy cooldown. This spell enables better setup and positioning with his ultimate.
For those confident in their skills, Inspire can be a viable alternative.
This spell enhances the attack speed of Nightmaric Spawn and Dominator’s Descent, making Zhask formidable in team fights, particularly during the late game when he has built all his core offensive items.
Recommended emblem and talents
Since all of Zhask’s skills scale with magic damage, opting for the Mage Emblem is the optimal choice. This emblem provides a boost to his magic power, cooldown reduction, and magic penetration.
For sub-talents, selecting Swift for the attack speed increase and Bargain Hunter for the equipment discount is recommended. These choices grant him a significant advantage in the early game.
As for core talents, Impure Rage is the preferred option as it increases damage dealt by his skills and restores mana upon hitting enemies.
This amplifies his damage output during the laning phase until he acquires one or two of his core items.
Best build for Zhask
Zhask and his Nightmaric Spawn excel with magic damage, making magic items the optimal choice.
Begin with Glowing Wand. This provides a burn effect that synergizes with Zhask’s multi-hit abilities, ensuring continuous damage over time.
Follow this with the Divine Glaive which enhances your magical penetration, allowing your abilities to shred through enemy defenses.
The Genius Wand further boosts this by reducing the target’s magic defense with each hit, amplifying your overall damage potential.
Going to the late game, purchase Holy Crystal and Starlium Scythe. The Holy Crystal is key for significantly boosting Zhask’s magic power, making your skills more lethal.
Meanwhile, the Starlium Scythe not only adds more Magic Power but also enhances your survivability with the extra Lifesteal.
If you are playing defensively, Immortality is a solid choice. Alternatively, you’re able to opt for Athena’s Shield if facing primarily magic damage dealers.

Easy combos to learn
During the laning phase, strategically plant Nightmaric Spawns behind the enemy minion wave to hinder the opposing laner from farming gold and experience. If they approach too closely, utilize Mind Eater to inflict substantial damage.
Upon reaching level four and with the Turtle on your side of the lane, use Dominator’s Descent to assist the jungler in securing the Lord.
By this point, you should have amassed enough gold for your first core item.
Once you’ve obtained your initial core item, summon a Nightmaric Spawn near the enemy and cast Mind Eater to stun them.
Capitalize on the stun by activating Dominator’s Descent and utilizing Hive Clones to slow the target, allowing the spawn to unleash its death ray for maximum damage.
Should the target attempt to flee or move out of the spawn’s range, utilize the blink from the first skill and Mind Eater to stun them and secure the kill.
In the event of a losing team fight, you may utilize your ultimate to escape by summoning a Nightmaric Spawn away from the fray, activating Dominator’s Descent, blinking away, and dismounting immediately to retreat from the fight.
