Battle Spells are unique spells that you choose before the start of each game. Using the right Battle Spell can tip a battle in your favor.
Battle Spells give your hero an advantage. Pick Battle Spells that compliment your hero, or make up for your hero’s weakness. For example, Alucard, a Fighter hero, benefits from picking Inspire because greater attack speed increases his Ultimate’s life steal, keeping him alive in a fight.
There are 12 Battle Spells in Mobile Legends. Each are unlocked once your account passes a certain level. To fully unlock all Battle Spells, you need to reach level 23.
Here are the list of Battle Spells and their effects.

The best way to find out the best Battle Spell for you is to try them out in-game. Start a practice session to get a feel for which Battle Spell fits your hero best.
Gear can be purchased in-game to make your character stronger. These items can be purchased at any time while in a match. However, each hero can only hold up to six items.
There are 96 items in Mobile Legends. They are split into five categories – Attack, Magic, Defense, Movement, and Jungle.
Luckily, choosing which item to buy is easy in Mobile Legends. If you want to know what the pros do, you can choose Pro Builds and rely on their experience. The game will automatically bring up the items you need to buy in a match.
Items available to buy appear as two glowing golden circles at the top right-hand corner of the screen. The top circle is the item that is currently prioritized, while the item below is next in the priority queue.
To manually adjust your item list, you can open the shop by clicking the rectangular bar with the dollar sign in the top right-hand corner of the screen.
In tougher games, adapting to the enemy and buying the right gear to suit the situation is key to winning.
For example, when facing a Mage heavy team, heroes would benefit more from buying gear that is resistant to magic damage compared to physical damage. Learning and buying the right gear is key to winning matches.
The next step to improving is understanding the map. Knowing the map gives you an advantage in outplaying your enemy and helps communication with the team.
In Mobile Legends, the map is split into three different areas — Base, Lanes and Jungle.

The area behind the arrows is called the Base. The arrows are the Lanes, split into the top, middle and bottom lane. All other areas are part of the Jungle.
Buffs
In the jungle, there are monsters that grant different buffs. These strengthen your hero temporarily, giving you an advantage.
The map has different colored dots and symbols — Purple, Green, Gold, Paw and Sword representing different monsters and buffs they give.
Monsters at the purple dots give ability buffs. These buffs vary based on the hero’s class.
Tank Buff: Reduce mana cost of all abilities. Increase magic and physical defense by 15%
Fighter Buff: Reduce cooldown of all abilities by 15%. Abilities slow enemy movement speed by 20% for 1.5 seconds.
Assassin Buff: Reduce cooldown of all abilities by 10%. Reduce energy cost of all abilities by 20%. Increase magic and physical penetration by 15 points.
Mage Buff: Reduce cooldown of all abilities by 20%. Reduce the mana cost of all abilities by 50%. Increase magic power by 30 points.
Marksman Buff: Increase physical attack by 10%. Causes abilities to increase movement speed by 15% for 2 seconds when they hit the enemy.
Support Buff: Reduce the cooldown of all abilities by 10%. Increase the mana regeneration per 5 seconds by 50 points. Increase the effect of healing abilities by 15%.
Certain heroes have greater priority for getting these buffs, for example, assassins should have priority over supports as assassins can use the buff to help the team land some early kills.
Monsters at the green dots give health, while monsters at the gold dots give a gold buff. Heroes gain 10 gold every two seconds for a total of 30 seconds from the gold buff.
The monster at the Paw symbol is the turtle. One of the two boss monsters in the game, the turtle spawns within two minutes of the match starting. Killing the turtle rewards the team with gold and experience points.

The Sword symbol is the lord. The second boss monster of Mobile Legends, it spawns seven minutes into the match. Killing the lord also rewards gold and experience points, but more importantly, it allows the team that defeated him to summon him to fight alongside them. This is a big bonus when pushing down lanes.
