Introduction
Demon Hunter Alucard, one of the most fearsome heroes in Mobile Legends. What’s the reason for that fame?
Well, Alucard is a hero capable of destroying a complete enemy team even in a fight one vs. 5. So great is his damage potential, besides his great mobility, that he can be determinant in helping your team win the battle.
What makes Alucard so dangerous is his passive skill “Pursuit,” which allows him to focus the attack continually on an enemy. So, it results almost impossible to escape once he has put his eye on the target.
Besides that, Alucard is a hero that requires patience and tactics because he is weak on early game and can be killed quickly if you are not careful.
Skills
Pursuit (Passive)
When Alucard uses a skill, he deals 1.2x damage for hitting one enemy and 1.1x for two enemies. Additionally, his next basic attack will deal with 1.2x damage and take him automatically close to the enemy.
Groundsplitter (Active)
Alucard jumps to the designated location, hitting and dealing 240 pts of Physical Damage. This ability also slows down the enemy by 60% for two secs. Has a Cooldown of 9/6.5 secs.
Whirling Smash (Active)
Alucard slashes at nearby enemies and deals 230/380 (depending on level) of Physical Damage.
Fission Wave (Ultimate)
This ability increases Alucard’s Lifesteal by 20% and locks onto the enemy. During this time, Alucard’s Lifesteal increases by 100%. At the same time, he releases a powerful wave that deals with 440/760 pts of Physical Damage to enemies within the area.
Emblem Set
Since Alucard is a very farming and item dependent hero, the best Emblem Set for him would be “Custom Assassin Emblem Set.”
The above set will enhance single-target killing power, which is perfect for heroes with high damage stats — including Assassins and Marksmen.
Try also to take advantage of Tier 3’s talent Bounty Hunter. This one will give you an extra 100 Gold each time you kill a hero and helps you farm faster.
Spells
Flicker
Teleport the hero from one position to another in half a second.
This is ideal for Alucard to escape from dangerous situations, especially in the early game.
Aegis
This spell gives the hero a protective shield of 720/1420 pts for 3 secs. It also gives 50% of shield pts to any nearby ally hero.
This spell is especially useful for Alucard during the early game when some enemy heroes might be chasing him in the jungle.
Purify
Purify removes all negative effects from user and grants immunity to controlling effects for 1.2 secs. It also increases Movement Speed by 30%.
This item is key for Alucard since he is a hero weak against control abilities. Purify can help you escape save from sticky situations.
Build
Pure Hunter Build
Items for Cooldown Reduction:
Magic Shoes
+10 pts Cooldown Reduction.
Alucard doesn’t use mana, so we use this item to allow his abilities to be triggered more frequently.
Endless Battle
+65 Physical Attack, +25 Magic Power, +25 HP, +300 Mana, +5 Mov Spd, +15 Lifesteal
This item is key for Alucard, so try to get it early on. The effects and passives from this item make an excellent synergy with Alucard’s abilities, allowing him to endurance a little more any battle.
Items for early game:
Corrosion Scythe
+50 Physical Attack, +400 Attack Speed, +15 Attack Speed
This item also makes good synergy due to the significant reduction of Movement Speed to the enemy.
Berserker’s Fury
+65 Physical Attack, +25 Critical Strike Chance
This item is mainly for increasing damage after Critical Strike.
Items for Defense:
Wings of Apocalypse Queen
+15 Physical Attack, +1,000 HP, +10 Cooldown Reduction
A survival item useful when you are low on HP.
Blade Armor
+90 Armor
Useful when you are farming and want to keep enemies away from you to avoid losing your gold.
Note: You can also substitute some items here.
Warrior Boots
+22 Armor
You can use this item instead of Magical Boots since the first is great for any fighter in general — it’s good for defense on early game, which is suitable for Alucard.
Haas’s Claws
+70 Physical Attack
The extra Lifesteal effect it provides is good when you are in a solo fight against several enemies. You can use it instead of Corrosion Scythe.
Blade of Despair
+170 Physical Attack, +10 Attack Speed
You can use it instead of Blade Armor when you are sure you can farm without being worried about any enemy trying to give you problems.
Tips on How To Play Alucard
As we said before, Alucard is very farming and item, dependent hero. He is weak in early games, so don’t get too much excited at that time trying to kill enemies in solo fights.
Your job as Assassin is to kill enemy heroes but try to focus first on farming and get stronger as quickly as you can. Try to use minions instead of creatures to earn more gold.
Once you have enough level (about 10), you can go and kill as you wish. In this regard, it’s essential you practice enough to master Alucard’s passive Pursuit — in mid and late games, this will be crucial to “hunt” enemy heroes and causing them the maximum possible damage during group battles.
The more natural way to make effective use of Pursuit is alternating the application of skills with basic attacks continually — one skill, basic attack, one skill, basic attack.
Be careful about trying to be the king of the hill, remember that Alucard hits hard, but he’s also weak against control abilities. Try to play from a safe position (i.e., waiting in the jungle until the right moment is present to put on your hands an easy kill.)
Another tip is to avoid using your ultimate skill on enemies with high HP. The perfect tactic would be finishing the enemy when he is low on HP or when he is surrounded by your team — unless you are a skilled player.
Don’t get discouraged if you’re frequently killed; this is usual when using heroes with low defense stats like Alucard. Play safe and enjoy it!
