how to play a very free hero (free hero), namely Zilong. This Hero is a category that easily OP, meaning this hero is very strong even though the method of using it is quite easy, besides that Zilong is also one of the most dangerous hero of the late game because it can kill opponents very quickly in just seconds, the point is never to let the game enter late game if you meet Zilong's opponent because he can destroy the tower and the opposing team in an instant.
I myself highly recommend this hero for solo rank especially for beginners, because Zilong is one of the easiest heroes to play and tends to be OP even though it's easy to master. Without much ado, let's learn the tutorial on how to learn to play Zilong and guide its item build tips, first we start from explaining the advantages and disadvantages.
Zilong's Strengths:
Easy to play , we know Zilong is one of the basic and free heroes that is designed for a beginner / newbie when playing Mobile Legends, so it's very easy to use this one fighter hero.
High mobility , Zilong's ultimate skill makes it able to move very fast, making it one of the fastest movement speed heroes in this game.
The tower thief is very good, he is one of the best chaser / escape heroes, he can chase enemies and run away from the opponent's gank thanks to his 3 skills which are very flexible for various situations. Because of the movement speed and the burst damage is very fast, he can easily steal the tower alone and turn things around, especially during the late game.
Burst damage is very high , if it is a matter of basic attack fights, especially during the late game, Zilong is the champion, this fighter is one of the best burst damage fighters like Roger and Alucard.
The hero of the scabbard is very good, if we pay attention to the three skills of Zilong it seems that it is intended to snatch / kidnap the opponent hero, the skills are very good for silencing the opponent's carry hero and it is very easy to do ganking if there is Zilong on our team.
Hero super late game , Zilong is one of the strongest heroes if it has entered the final game because its attack power can slaughter all opposing heroes including tankers quickly.
Zilong Disadvantages:
Often the main target , the most unpleasant when playing a fighter role, especially Zilong, is that we have to put the body in front when team fights / war teams, even though we are not tank heroes, if wrong, engage in fist and close combat can be killed because all melee attacks so it needs to be calculated also before attacking to make sure we will pick up or even be taken away.
Very vulnerable CC , when teamfight is usually the most frequent crowd control is a tank hero and fighter, even though the damage burst is very large all will be in vain if he does not have time to launch an attack on the enemy, therefore save ulti skills because this skill can also release status immobilized when used.
Zilong item build tips:
The build item in the first line is a build that is often used by top players and is ideal for a variety of circumstances, use this build if you are just learning and don't know what to build like.
Build the second line item is build full attack speed and a little extra movement speed, because the ultimate skill increases attack speed and extra movement speed, so with this build we can maximize the ulti skill at its best potential.
Zilong Build is actually quite flexible because it can be customized according to the style and style of the playing player, usually we will build items like marksman in general, but there are also some players who build semi tanks and that is also good because it all depends on the composition of our team and opponents.
Use Magic Blade / Rose Gold Meteor items if there are 2 or more magic damage on the opposing team.
Buy Deadly Blade items if there are Rafaela, Estes, Alucard, Fanny, and other hero healers / manifesters.
Try experimenting with your own build, it never hurts to try various combinations of items because who knows will be more suited to your playing style.
The most suitable battle spells for Zilong are Retribution, Inspire, and Flicker
Use Retribution if you want to quickly farm and level up, this spell is very useful so that our Zilong is fast (full item build), but if there are already 2 people on the team using Retribution, you should use another spell so you don't fight over jungle with your own team.
Use Inspire because this spell is very good combined with the ultimate skill, with the help of Inspire, Zilong will become a very powerful killer robot and can destroy the opponent's turret in an instant. This spell is great if we prefer to play aggressively and push the tower as fast as possible.
Use Flicker if we want to play it safe, besides that we can also launch the trick combination skills 1 and Flicker so that it can kidnap the opponent's hero more perfectly.
For emblems we can use Physical or Fighter emblems.
Zilong is great for fighting the following heroes:
- Fanny (late game)
- Helcurt
- Lancelot
- Eudora
- Gord
- Odette
- Vexana
- Layla
- Miya
- Karrie
- Estes
Zilong is quite weak against some of the following heroes:
- Natalia
- Akai
- Franco
- Gatotkaca
- Aurora
- Nana
Skill combination 1 - Flicker:
With the Flicker spell we can draw opposing heroes even further using skill 1, the key we must be fast when using skill 1 + Flicker, before the opposing hero is dislocated we have to direct the position towards the desired direction with Flicker, try the exercises in custom mode first against AI , if you have advanced then please try on real games, take advantage of this skill combination especially at the beginning of the game (early game) to draw enemies into our tower area.
Tips & tricks for Zilong hero guide:
Take advantage of Zilong skill 1 at the beginning of the game to lure enemies into the turret attack radius, try to lure the enemy silently standing in front (slightly outside the tower area) and once they approach immediately use skill 1 or better by using the skill combination 1 + Flicker. This skill is not only useful for attracting enemies into the tower, we can also use it when the enemy is in the tower area and lift it out of the tower so we can attack it.
Use hero lock mode on so that when using skill 1 and skill 2 we don't hit the wrong target.
Remember that the ultimate skill can also be used to escape when exposed to enemy stun / freeze, so we recommend that you keep the skill ulti when you want to engage and there is a CC hero on your opponent.
If our team can survive with 4 vs 5, then try to do split push, usually this 4-1 strategy (Zilong push solo) is often used to reverse the situation of the team that is losing, but we also have to look at the situation whether our team is still capable last or not.
Always prioritize flabby heroes first when the war team is like marksman and mage, if the moment is right try to dare to snatch from behind when teamfight 5 vs 5 (late game), usually mage and marksman will be behind so we can finish immediately and dominate the fight.
Be diligent in watching pro Zilong user videos on YouTube or live streaming of the top Zilong players.
