What about Core Heroes?
Core heroes are called the way they’re called because of how important they are in a team. Sure, you can play the perfect game as a support or as a mage, but winning the game still mainly depends more than anything else on how the core position would play out and carry. That being said, here are the best Mobile Legends core heroes to master if you want to be the one to bring your team to victory.
10. Hayabusa
Hayabusa, the Ninja Baba Yaga
As most assassins do, Hayabusa relies on picking up kills early and creating early game advantages to close the match as quickly as possible before late game heroes start to come alive. With his strong roaming potential, Hayabusa can use his shadows to assassinate a single enemy hero and leave without taking the slightest damage.
What makes Hayabusa great:
- He has high single-hero damage output that allows him to dominate the jungle
- He has great mobility and can kill a hero sitting in a lane once he has his ultimate
