Best Emblem and Spell Set for Aldous in Mobile Legends

Emblem configuration

The most ideal emblem for Aldous to use is the Custom Assassin Emblem, as it provides physical penetration, extra attack damage, movement speed, and extra HP regeneration by killing an enemy Hero. These perks would really help to easily kill an enemy with one hit while using Aldous.

So, in the first level, it is advisable to choose Bravery which provides extra physical attacks. While in the second level, opt for Invasion for extra physical penetration against enemy units with high physical defense. Finally, choose Killing Spree to regenerate extra HP every time you kill an enemy Hero.

Battle spells

  • Salary: If a jungler or assassin is missing from your team, you can choose to go to the jungle after choosing the retribution spell.
  • Flicker: This battle spell is useful when moving in lane in the exposure lane as it helps to easily capture and hit fleeing enemies or escape from dangerous situations.

The best builds for Aldous in Mobile Legends

Many builds can be tested on Aldous. All you have to do is follow the enemy’s choice and then decide the role on the battlefield. We have created the following model to test with Aldous on the battlefield.

If equipped with Salaryit is recommended to take Hard boots or Warrior boots it depends on the situation. It is also advisable to bless him with ice punishment as it grants Aldous extra movement speed to reach fleeing enemies. But if your team already has a jungler, you could go to the Exp lane and still opt for either Warriors boot (for extra physical defense) or Tough boots (reduces control duration and grants additional magical defense)depending on the formation of the enemies.

Remember, Aldous is a very unique hero who doesn’t really need a lot of attack items to defeat and kill enemy heroes in one fell swoop. So first build Thunder belt as it provides Mom Regen in addition to real damage against enemies, this item would really hurt Aldous’ hits. Then you can continue with Bruteforce Chestplate as it provides extra defense and movement speed for throwing skills. Another main and essential piece of equipment is the Evil roar as it provides extra physical penetration against highly defensive heroes. The rest of the equipment is built to increase its durability on the battlefield.

Mobile Legends Aldous Game Tips

As discussed earlier, Aldous can easily take down HP-filled enemies with one hit thanks to his empowered basic attacks. However, a player must need a good understanding of the map to bring out the best in every hero. According to its gameplay, we can break it down into three stages. Our Mobile Legends Aldous guide includes the perfect game plan for early, mid and late game play.

Early game

Aldous is relatively weak compared to most enemy fighters during early lane play, so regardless of whether one is the jungler or the exp laner, one must try to play safely and less aggressively as farming is the key during this phase of the game.

If one is in the jungle, it is necessary to prioritize taking out all the creeps and even minions found while rotating in your team’s jungle, as this is necessary to increase the number of Aldous stacks. If Aldous is played as an exp laner, try not to play too aggressively as Aldous’ abilities at first consume a lot of mana, as the lure may reduce cultivation efficiency.

So, save and prioritize Aldous’ abilities primarily to take out any minions or creeps that are nearby. He also remembers using the Empowered Basic Attack of Aldous’ first ability to hit enemy targets last time for extra stacks in order to increase his damage, as well as the extra duration, gained by his passive. You can also perform the following skill combos for an edge on the battlefield:

Skill 1 (Empowered Basic Attack) + Skill 2 + Skill 1 (Empowered Basic Attack)

Mid-game

In this phase of the lane phase, Aldous begins to eclipse the other heroes because at least after reaching them 100 soul theft builds up, it becomes easy enough for Aldous to melt the HP of soft targets like sharpshooters, wizards, and assassins with one or two hits. Even after reaching Level 4 and by unlocking Aldous Ultimate, it becomes quite easy to chase and kill enemies fleeing life points.

So when unlocking the Aldous Ultimate skill, you have to take note that: as the turret dives with Aldous’ ultimate ability, you need to target and prioritize heroes with critically low HP or otherwise , prioritize squishy shooters or magical heroes with low escape or mobility ability as they would not be a stress to hit and kill.

Late Game Aldous MLBB

Don’t use Aldous’ ultimate ability to target well-rounded heroes with high crowd control abilities (such as Valir, ValleyAnd Ruby, etc.) while in the turrets as this could lead to unnecessary delays in leaving the turret. Also, don’t target highly mobile heroes or heroes with immune abilities while in turrets (unless they have critical HP), examples of such heroes are Lancelot And Benedetta. Finally, don’t target a squishy hero to perfection while he has an allied teammate with CC skills, as playing safely and avoiding unnecessary deaths are key to surviving during this phase of play. Perform the following skill combos to rule the battlefield:

Skill 3 + Skill 1(Before reaching the enemy target) + Enhanced basic attack (Upon reaching enemy target) + Skill 1 + Enhanced Basic Attack + Skill 2

Late game

After completing most of his build and achieving a high stack of soul theft, Aldous becomes a huge force to contend with as he is capable of one-hit killing most enemy targets including fighters and tanks even with their build of defensive items. So in order to progress properly with Aldous, you need to amass the enemy heroes and prioritize their main damage dealers in order to ensure victory for your team.
