Vexana Mobile Legends Guide: Master the Necrokeep Queen

Since her major revamp, Vexana has evolved from an underrated niche pick into a top-tier Mid Lane Mage in Mobile Legends: Bang Bang (MLBB). With her ability to summon the Eternal Guard and disrupt team fights with massive AOE Crowd Control (CC), she is a nightmare for immobile heroes. This guide covers the best Vexana build, emblem sets, and pro-level tips to dominate your rank games.

Vexana’s Skill Set: Understanding the Necromancy

To play Vexana like a Pro, you must understand how her skills interact with her passive to clear waves and burst enemies.

• Passive (Nether Touch): Enemies hit by Vexana’s skills are marked. When they die, they explode, dealing Magic Damage to nearby units. This makes her one of the fastest wave-clearers in the game.
• Skill 1 (Deathly Snare): Vexana unleashes a phantom claw that Terrifies the first enemy hero hit. This is your primary defensive and offensive tool to stop assassins like Gusion or Fanny.
• Skill 2 (Cursed Blast): A delayed AOE explosion. Pro Tip: Use this after Skill 1 to ensure the enemy cannot dodge the blast.
• Ultimate (Eternal Guard): Vexana summons a giant Undead Knight that deals airborne damage upon landing. The Knight inherits Vexana's stats and acts as a secondary tank.

The Best Vexana Build 2024 (Burst & Cooldown)

The current meta favors a mix of Magic Penetration and Cooldown Reduction (CDR). This build allows you to spam your Ultimate every 20 seconds.

1. Arcane Boots: Provides early-game Magic Pen to shred through the enemy's natural defense.
2. Enchanted Talisman: Essential for mana regeneration and 20% CDR. You never want to run out of mana during a siege.
3. Wishing Lantern / Lightning Truncheon: These items provide extra burst damage based on your Magic Power.
4. Glowing Wand: Great for burning high-HP tanks and reducing their healing/shielding.
5. Divine Glaive: A must-have in the late game to counter enemies building Athena’s Shield or Radiant Armor.
6. Holy Crystal: Provides a massive jump in Magic Power to scale your damage to the maximum.

Optimal Emblem and Talents

For Vexana, the Mage Emblem is the only way to go. Set your talents as follows:

• Tier 1: Agility – Extra Movement Speed to help you rotate from Mid Lane to Gold Lane faster.
• Tier 2: Wilderness Blessing – Increases movement speed in the river and jungle, making your ganks unpredictable.
• Tier 3: Impure Rage – Adds extra skill damage and restores mana when you hit enemies, perfect for early-game poking.

Advanced Vexana Combo for Instant Kills

To delete a marksman or mage instantly, use the 1-3-2 Combo:

1. Cast Skill 1 to Terrify the target.
2. Immediately cast Ultimate while they are terrified to knock them up (Airborne).
3. Drop Skill 2 on their location while they are suspended in the air.
4. Finish with Flameshot if they try to flicker away.

Strategy: How to Win as Vexana

Early Game

Focus on clearing the mid-wave using Skill 2. Once you hit Level 4, look at the map. Use your Ultimate to help your Jungler secure the Turtle; the Eternal Guard can tank Turtle hits, saving your Jungler's HP.

Mid to Late Game

Never walk alone in the river. Vexana has no dash skills and is a prime target for assassins. Always stay behind your Tank and use your Eternal Guard to scout bushes. In team fights, your goal is to hit at least 2-3 enemies with your Ultimate to provide a winning opening for your team.

Vexana Counter Heroes

• Strong Against: Layla, Hanabi, Estes, and Tigreal (her CC interrupts his set).
• Weak Against: Helcurt (Silence), Gusion (Burst), and Kadita (CC Immunity/Dive).

By following this guide, you’ll maximize Vexana’s potential as a control mage. Remember, timing your Eternal Guard is the difference between a bronze and an MVP performance!
