Vexanais a powerhouse mage inMobile Legends: Bang Bang, with her devastating crowd control and sustained magic damage.

Her ability to disrupt team formations, punish mispositioned enemies, and summon an Undead Knight makes her a nightmare on the battlefield. In the right hands, she can dominate fights, zoning enemies and applying relentless pressure.

But even the strongest heroes have their weaknesses. While the mage thrives in most matchups, there are specific heroes that can counter her abilities and neutralize her threat.

Three hero counters to Vexana in Mobile Legends: Bang Bang

Kadita

First on the list is the queen of the seas,Kadita. She is perfect against squishy heroes who have no escape skills, such as Vexana.

Once she controls a target with Breath of the Ocean, Kadita can immediately close the gap with Ocean Ode and deal the killing blow with Rough Waves.

Ocean Ode and Rough Waves are also great skills for escaping her ultimate, Eternal Guard.

Furthermore, her passive, Thalassophobia, can restore most of her health if she gets comboed in a team fight. Pick Kadita if you want the safest and easiest response to the revamped Vexana.

Aurora

Auroraand Vexana function the same way. Both heroes excel in initiating team fights and surprising the enemy team with their area-of-effect skills.

However, what sets Aurora apart is that her passive, Pride of Ice, freezes enemies in place.

A skilled Aurora player will be able to take advantage of the Shimmer of Hope’s lack of mobility by hiding in the bush, freezing her once she goes near, and bursting her down.

This is a lot easier to pull off if Aurora catches her alone, isolated from her teammates, especially if she doesn’t have Purify or Winter Truncheon.

The downside to the Aurora pick is she doesn’t have any mobility as well, so it’s more of a skill matchup once it reaches the late game when both heroes are at full build.

Kagura

Kagurais one of the hardest heroes to learn in the Land of Dawn, but she can be very rewarding, especially in higher ranks.

She has mobility, decent damage, and can remove crowd control skills with Rasho Umbrella Flee.

She can cancel Vexana’s Cursed Blast and Eternal Guard combo if casted at the right time, and can counterattack with Seimei Umbrella and Yin Yang Overturn. The enemy mage won’t have an answer to her damaging skills, and will be forced to burn whatever battle spell she has.

Even if she chooses to be defensive and hide in bushes, Kagura’s umbrella will be able to provide vision in an area using Seimei Umbrella Open in chokepoints.
