The strengths and weaknesses of Esmeralda Mobile Legends so you won't regret your purchase

Cecepkocep – Esmeralda is one of the tank mage heroes in the game Mobile Legends Bang Bang. He has special regeneration and poking and can deal physical and magical damage. This way he has a very good ability to regenerate and can poke enemies more effectively.

This Esmeralda has enormous stamina, even the offensive is quite large for the size of a tank hero. Since he is also a magician, the effect of his skills is also very good.

However, all of the heroes in Mobile Legends have their own strengths and weaknesses, including Esmeralda. By knowing his strengths we can maximize his potential, while knowing his weaknesses will lead us to be careful while playing and find the right counterattack for him.

Knowing hero’s strengths and weaknesses that you really need before buying any hero, including Esmeralda. Knowing these two things will help you know if this suits the role you’re good at or the gameplay you’re good at. For example, since every player has their own special hero, there are players who like magicians, shooters, fighters and other hero roles.

In this article, Cecepkocep will now share a tutorial on the pros and cons of Esmeralda so you don’t regret your purchase. Let’s immediately take a look at the following discussion.

The benefits of Esmeralda Mobile Legends

Infinite shield

Esmeralda is a very robust tank as it has unlimited shields. His first skill offers a shield of 350 (+ 100% total magic power). From this we can know that Esmeralda’s shield becomes thicker when he has great overall magical power. In this way we have to use magical items so that Esmeralda’s ability 1 shield is also big. At least we can buy 1 magic item even though we are using a build item tank.

Not only that, this skill 1 will allow Esmeralda to gradually steal enemy shields around her. That way, the shield he gets gets even bigger in the late game. In fact, he’s a hero who can counter heroes with a large shield, such as Hilda and Akai.

Regeneration with high HP

Esmeralda not only has a very high shield and we can say “infinite”, but also has a high HP regeneration ability. This is because his passive ability can convert whatever shield he has into HP. You can imagine unlimited shields being converted to HP, of course it will be difficult to die. Since his first ability gets a shield, he can steal the enemy’s shield as well.

To maximize the HP regeneration of Esmeralda, we can use magical items, for example Clock of fate who will bestow great magical power. Due to the great magical power, the shield obtained from skill 1 is also large. Then the HP regeneration obtained is also high. Not to mention the shield received from the enemy.

We can maximize Esmeralda’s HP regeneration by purchasing Oracle items. In fact, it’s not just HP regeneration, but the shield Esmeralda is getting is getting bigger. Why Oracle? Because this item increases the HP and shield regeneration effect by 25%. Imagine Esmeralda’s shield is already big, how about pairing it with Oralce? Of course, the HP regeneration gets thicker and heavier.

Can penetrate enemy shields

Another benefit of Esmeralda is that she can penetrate the enemy’s shield. Because Esmeralda’s passive ability ignores the enemy’s shield. No matter how thick the shield, Esmeralda’s damage will still occur. In this way Esmeralda is a very good hero against heroes who have the ability to remove shields, for example Harith, Claude, Akai, Hilda, Leomord, etc.

In addition, this Esmeralda can also serve as a counter for Athena’s shield items. Although this item provides a great shield, especially in the late game, Esmeralda still penetrates it. What is there is even stolen from him and converted into his HP. Hence, you need to be careful when fighting Esmeralda in the late game, even if you are using a tank that uses Athena’s shield.

Short skill cooldown

In addition to her ultimate ability, Esmeralda’s two active abilities have a relatively short cooldown. This way we can spam Skill 1 more often to get shields and regenerate HP. I think it’s natural for this skill to have a short cooldown, as this is the only skill that makes Esmeralda a true tank driver and appropriate to her role. We can maximize the cooldown of this skill by using cooldown reduction items like Domination Ice, Oralce, and Ephemeral Time.

Weaknesses of Esmeralda Mobile Legends

No engage ability

Unfortunately, although this Esmeralda is a very tough tank due to its very thick shield, it doesn’t have a very good Engage ability. One of his Engange skills is just his Ultimate, and even then it has a very long cooldown. This Esmeralda is different from current tanks, which have very good Engange capabilities. In that way, Esmeralda’s gameplay is more similar to Belerick, but in my opinion Belerick is better because it has crowd control skills.

In this way we must be able to use the ultimate skill as optimally as possible to attack the enemy or initiate attacks. This skill is the only initiation skill Esmeralda has, although it has a relatively long cooldown. But we can maximize it by buying Fleeting Time items. As long as we can get assists, the cooldown on this skill will be very short.

They don’t have crowd control skills

One of Esmerlda’s other weaknesses is that she has no crowd control skills. This makes Esmeralda less effective as a tank hero. Because most tank heroes have crowd control skills, for example Gatot with stun, Minotaur with high strike, then Grock with his slow ability.

You have to be careful that even though Esmeralda is a tank heroine, she has no crowd control skills and initiation skills are not that good. One of the reasons that makes him a good tank hero is his shield and HP regeneration skills. Without this ability, you have to think twice about using it as a tanker. I think Esmeralda is better than DPS hero (Damage per second) or fighter. Since we can combine magic and defense items, the shield we get will be big too.

Easy to get gank

Another weakness of Esmeralda is that it is very easy to gank. Why? Because he has no other escape skills than his ultimate ability. Then he also has no immune skills, so he is very easily allied by heroes with crowd control skills such as the Minotaur and Akai.

But doesn’t Esmeralda have unlimited HP and shield regeneration? It won’t be very effective because the enemy might buy the item Deadly blade or Necklace of the Durance to reduce the regenerative effect of Esmeralda. In this way, Esmeralda’s regeneration effect becomes even more ineffective, if she is hit by a gang, then she is countered with these two objects.

One of the main advantages of Esmeralda is the ability to regenerate HP and her shield. He can have an ‘infinite’ HP shield due to his first ability. Then he can also be the most effective hero against heroes with shields. But its main weakness is that it is very susceptible to enemy crowd control. This is the weakness to watch out for in war or team combat.

Those are the strengths and weaknesses of Esmeralda Mobile Legends. Hopefully, if you are reading this article, you will not regret purchasing this hero. It’s a shame the battle points you collect will be wasted unless you are the sultan, hehehe.
