Mobile Legends: Bang Bang: The Complete Talent System Guide and Tips

Story Highlights

You need to choose the right Talents to outperform!
Talents come in different parts, and you can mix them to build custom emblems!

The recent Emblem update for Mobile Legends: Bang Bang has been available for a while, and it’s made several changes to how Emblems work. Let’s take a closer look at the new talent system in the game.

Introducing the Talent System in Mobile Legends

The talent system helps enhance each hero you play with, building on their unique abilities and strengths. It allows you to maximize a hero’s potential. We’ve recently streamlined this system – it used to have nine parts, but we’ve simplified it down to seven.

As a player, I’ve noticed the way heroes are built around their roles. You’ve got your typical fighters, tanks (who often roam), mages, marksmen, and assassins, plus support heroes. And the game has custom emblem sets tailored to these roles – things like magic, physical damage, tankiness, and so on. Usually, you can pick emblems based on a hero’s category, but there are a few exceptions. For example, heroes like Minsitthar and Jawhead are classified as fighters, but I’ve seen people successfully build and play them as more sustainable picks or even roamers – it’s not always a strict rule!

Using a Custom Fighter or Physical Emblem on certain heroes might not be the best choice, defeating the purpose of selecting that hero in the first place. A Tank Emblem would likely be more helpful in battle instead.

Lesley is primarily a marksman, but she can also be played as an assassin. While a marksman emblem can work well, choosing an assassin emblem with a customized talent setup will allow you to fully maximize her capabilities.

Selecting the right Talent Points is crucial. Assassins aren’t confined to a single build; they specialize in various damage types, which means their final Emblem choices will differ depending on what they need to excel, such as builds focused on critical hits (like High and Dry) or quickly eliminating opponents (like Killing Spree).

Understanding the changes from the previous Talent System

If you’ve played team-based strategy games, you understand how crucial character builds are to winning. Because choosing a character depends on both countering the enemy team and playing to your strengths, simply picking a character limits how well you can perform.

Let’s say you usually play Minsitthar as an experience laner, using a Fighter emblem with Unbending Will and Festival of Blood. But what if Minsitthar gets banned, or the other team picks him first? Then you’d need to switch to Lapu-Lapu or another fighter hero.

You now have two choices: stick with the talent build from the previous fighter, or try the Assassin emblem, which might not actually be useful in a fight. The developers created this new talent system to solve these issues.

How to use the Talent System in Mobile Legends

This system offers a lot of options for customizing your hero. It’s broken down into three sections: primary, secondary, and final. These sections work together to help you improve your hero in the way you want. Let’s explore how each talent fits into these sections.

Fatal Snare: While dealing damage with a basic attack; it has a 20% chance to reduce the enemy hero’s movement speed by 90% and attack speed by 50% for the next 0.5 seconds.

How the Talent System affects the gameplay meta

As we’ve talked about before, players often feel restricted in how they build their heroes, and certain emblem types seem to be tied to specific roles. This can lead to confusion – for example, players might avoid using an assassin emblem on a tank hero like Grock, mistakenly believing it’s only meant for damage-dealing assassins.

There aren’t strict rules about how to spend talent points. To get the most out of them, you need to understand what your hero is good at. Choosing the right talents will improve your understanding of your hero and help you play better in battle.

Final Thoughts

Ultimately, the new Talent System will dramatically change how the game is played. Players who learn to use it effectively will have a clear advantage, while those depending on AI-generated builds may struggle initially. A key benefit of this system is how easily the game can be balanced through buffs and nerfs.

Okay, so one of the coolest things is you can now build out custom talent points for each hero! It’s super easy to unlock them – you’ll see a little indicator at the bottom right of the screen. You basically upgrade specific emblems to a certain level, and that unlocks the talent point. The best part? Everything is separate, so changing one thing doesn’t mess up the whole build. But getting the right combination of talents? That’s what’s going to make you unstoppable. Choose wisely and crush the competition!
