MLBB Karina’s Best Game Guide

SLICE AND DICE.

This assassin has the ability to close the distance and execute a powerful combo to quickly take down opponents.
In this comprehensive guide, we will provide valuable insights on how to master the Shadow Blade and empower you to dominate the game.

Passive – Shadow Combo

Enhances her attacks in a unique way.
When she successfully lands three consecutive attacks on the same enemy, she deals additional true damage.
This true damage is calculated based on a small percentage of her magic power and the target’s lost HP.

In addition, if Karina’s target is an enemy hero, the cooldowns of her non-ultimate skills are reduced.
This means she can quickly unleash her powerful abilities on the enemy team.

To make the most of Karina’s passive ability, it is important to focus on targeting enemy heroes.
The Shadow Combo mark, which allows her to deal the extra true damage, has a brief duration.

By using either the Hero Lock Mode or Basic Attack Targeting feature, players can ensure that their attacks hit their desired target.

For optimal results, players should focus on engaging enemies with low health.
This is because the true damage inflicted by Karina’s passive ability is partly based on the amount of HP the target has already lost.

By strategically targeting weakened enemies, Karina can deal massive amounts of damage and secure kills for her team.

First skill – Dance of Blades

Karina activates her Dance of Blades skill, granting her temporary bonuses.
During this time, she gains extra movement speed, blocks all incoming basic attacks,and reflects magic damage back to the attacker (with a short cooldown)

Her next basic attack within the duration will deal magic damage, slow the target, and is guaranteed to critically strike.
Using the enhanced basic attack or Shadow Assault will end the Dance of Blades state early.

The Dance of Blades skill is Karina’s mobility ability. It can be used to chase down opponents or to make a quick escape.
Junglers can use it to rotate quickly between different areas of the map.

Take advantage of the increased movement speed to dodge enemy abilities.

If your target is within the skill’s range, you can even dash over walls.

Second skill – Dance of Death

Karina unleashes a spinning slash, dealing magic damage to nearby enemies.

Since Dance of Death is Karina’s primary damage-dealing ability,
It is recommended to unlock it at level one and focus on maximizing its potential by increasing its damage output and decreasing its cooldown.

Being an area of effect skill, Dance of Death allows you to damage enemies that are concealed or camouflaged.

Ultimate – Shadow Assault

Karina swiftly dashes towards an enemy hero, inflicting them with magic damage and applying a Shadow Mark to them.
Additionally, a Shadowform is generated behind the target that lasts for a few seconds.
If the marked enemy dies within this duration, the cooldown of this skill is reset.

By using this skill again, Karina can swiftly return to the location of the Shadowform, dealing magic damage to enemies in her path.

Shadow Assault is a powerful ability that enables Karina to quickly approach her target, making it an effective tool for initiating her combo.
It is important to select enemies with low HP, as the cooldown of this ultimate will reset if the marked enemy dies while the skill is active.

Similar to the ability Dance of Blades, it is possible to cross walls using Shadow Assault if the target is within range.
Regardless of how far away Karina is from the Shadowform, activating this skill again will cause her to dash towards it.
This strategy can be utilized to escape chases or pursuits.

When playing Karina as a jungler, the most effective battle spell to use is Retribution.
This spell allows you to quickly eliminate creeps, secure objectives such as the Lord and Turtle, and apply a debuff to your target based on the type of Retribution spell you have equipped.

The optimal build for Karina in Mobile Legends includes
1. Arcane Boots (or Ice Retribution for junglers)
2. Starlium Scythe
3. Holy Crystal
4. Divine Glaive
5. Concentrated Energy
6. Blood Wings

In the early stages of the game, employ the Dance of Blades ability to approach your target.
Follow it up with an enhanced basic attack and Dance of Death to inflict significant damage.

Once you reach level four, execute the Dance of Blades-Dance of Death Combo to deal a devastating blow to your enemy.
Finish them off with the Shadow Assault ability.

Alternatively, you can initiate your attack with Shadow Assault.
Once you are close to your target, use Dance of Death, and then cast Shadow Assault again to swiftly move to your Shadowform and deal damage.

If your opponent manages to survive your combo, pursue them with Dance of Blades and finish them off with an enhanced basic attack.
Use Retribution or Execute if needed for the final blow.
