Zhuxin’s skills in Mobile Legends
Passive – Crimson Butterflies
Every time Zhuxin channels Lantern Flare, she converts the Mana spent up to several Crimson Butterflies to follow her Spirit Lantern.
After Zhuxin stops channeling Lantern Flare, the Crimson Butterflies will gradually disappear, each restoring a percentage of her Max Mana. Zhuxin has a naturally high base Max Mana, but it doesn’t scale with her level.
First skill – Fluttering Grace
Zhuxin deals Magic Damage to all enemies in a fan-shaped area and applies stacks of Soul Snare. Zhuxin also slows all enemy heroes hit and gains extra Movement Speed herself for a duration.
Second skill – Lantern Flare
Hold: Zhuxin continuously consumes Mana while the Spirit Lantern can be moved with the skill button, dealing Magic Damage to all enemies within range and applying Soul Snare to enemies hit.
When an enemy hero has several stacks of Soul Snare, the Crimson Butterflies will capture them, pulling them airborne for a second.
Release: Throws all captured enemies to the target location, dealing Magic Damage to all enemies in the area. If the enemy took damage several times, subsequent damage taken is reduced.
Ultimate – Crimson Beacon
Zhuxin blinks to the target location while gaining a shield. While flying, she creates a field around her for a duration. The field deals Magic Damage and applies a stack of Soul Snare to enemies every second.
A comprehensive guide on how to play Zhuxin in Mobile Legends
Recommended battle spell
Flicker and Sprint are two of the best battle spells for Zhuxin due to their synergy with her playstyle and abilities.
Flicker provides you with instant repositioning, which is crucial for a mage who needs to maintain distance from enemies while casting her skills.
It allows you to escape dangerous situations or reposition so that you can optimally use your Lantern Flare and Ultimate, ensuring you stay safe while dealing damage and applying crowd control.
On the other hand, Sprint enhances the mage’s mobility, giving a burst of speed that is essential for kiting enemies while casting Lantern Flare.
This additional speed allows you to maintain a safe distance from threats, reposition in fights, and chase down fleeing enemies, making it easier to apply Soul Snare stacks and capture targets effectively.
Recommended emblem
Opt for the Mage Emblem to gain additional Magic Power, Cooldown Reduction, and Magic Penetration. you’re able to also opt for the Common Emblem to get a boost in your Hybrid Regen, HP, and Adaptive Attack.
Either way, the best talents to get for Zhuxin are Agility, Bargain Hunter, and Impure Rage, each enhancing crucial aspects of her playstyle.
Agility boosts your Movement Speed, allowing you to reposition quickly during fights, kite enemies effectively with Lantern Flare, and escape potential threats. This increased mobility is essential for maximizing your skill usage.
Bargain Hunter accelerates your item progression by reducing the cost of equipment, which is vital since Zhuxin depends on her gear for mana regen, applying slow, and continuously inflicting damage. This makes her more formidable in the mid and late-game.
Impure Rage provides additional damage and mana recovery, boosting your overall damage output and ensuring you may sustain her skills, especially during prolonged engagements.
Zhuxin best build
After Demon Shoes, prioritize items to sustain Zhuxin’s mana and enhance her control effects early on, then transition to maximizing her damage output as the game progresses.
Clock of Destiny is the core item for the mage, providing high Max Mana, which allows her to sustain Lantern Flare for longer durations. The mana and HP regen also lets you sustain better during the laning phase.
BuildSky Piercerafter. Outside of the Adaptive Attack and Movement Speed boosts, you also benefit from the the item’s unique passive, Lethality. Since you deal continous damage from Lantern Flare this helps you finish off enemies when they reach a certain percentage of their HP.
Next, take the Ice Queen Wand. This is crucial for adding a slowing effect to your attacks, ensuring enemies remain within Lantern Flare’s range longer. This enhances your ability to control and damage opponents consistently.
Progressing to the late game, acquire Glowing Wand. The item boosts your overall damage output with its burn effect, synergizing well with the hero’s sustained damage playstyle.
In the late game, build theWishing Lantern. This further enhances Zhuxin’s damage as it provides additional burst potential.

Tips and easy combos to learn
To make the most of her abilities, use Fluttering Grace in the laning phase to slow opponents and increase your Movement Speed, which lets you poke enemies and clear minion waves effectively.
Position yourself safely while using Lantern Flare to hit both minions and enemy heroes, applying stacks of Soul Snare.
In team fights, use Crimson Beacon to blink into a good position, preferably targeting the backline or grouped enemies. Follow up with your first skill to slow the enemy team and create a more favorable environment for using your second.
Stay at a safe distance, poking with your first skill to build stacks on enemies. Once captured, throw them to disrupt the enemy formation.
Prioritize upgrading Lantern Flare first, as it’s your main source of damage and control.
