Talk about power!
Mobile Legends has a lot of heroes to offer for its players. It has tanks, mages, fighters, supports, assassins, and marksmen. But for today, we will talk about one aspect of these roles, and that is being the marksman hero of the team.
Marksman heroes are expected to grace the gold lane. It is in order for them to earn as much gold as possible and buy items since they are often the most fragile in the team. With new hero releases and meta, let us check who among these marksman heroes is the most powerful.
11. Hanabi
Befriend the shadows.
Hanabi is one of those heroes who truly ranked higher than before due to some changes made to her. Hanabi can now hit multiple heroes just by her basic attack. This is one of the major changes for her. Before, her first skill made her basic attacks ricochet to hit enemies. Now, this AOE damage is transferred as her passive ability.
Her current first skill is now designed to give her a shield, attack speed, movement speed, and immunity, which is a very good skill to escape against enemies. Hanabi also gained a higher hit rate because if she landed her ultimate skill accurately, her physical damage against them increased. Subsequent hits on the target will also deal an additional 20% damage. The changes made to Hanabi make her a very deadly opponent for close combat heroes like Terizla and Freya.
What makes Hanabi a Great Marksman:
- AOE Damage - Hanabi has great AOE damage that allows her to hit more than one enemy at once. This is helpful to keep her safe from a distance while attacking.
- Late game damage - Every Hanabi user knows that she is a late bloomer. You have to wait until she gains enough items to maximize her damage.
- Can stun enemies - Hanabi’s ultimate skill can immobilize enemies and refrain them from moving.

10. Clint
Pure guns, no roses.
With his sleek revolver and explosive bullets, Clint can knock off enemies even from a distance because of his strong burst damage. On top of that, Clint can also damage multiple enemies at once due to his basic attack. When using him, you just have to be mindful of his high mana usage, so buy equipment items that can solve this problem, such as Endless Battle.
Skillwise, Clint is a very reliable marksman. His passive and first skill deals high burst damage. He can utilize this to easily melt the HP of enemies. After each skill cast, the basic attack of Clint, within 4 seconds, will hit a line of enemies, dealing extra physical damage. To add, his first skill also allows him to fire 5 bullets consecutively, hitting nearby enemies. His second skill is perfect for escaping or ganking, as this immobilizes enemies for 1.2 seconds.
Clint’s damage is very effective against those with less range than him, like Miya and Irithel.
What makes Clint a Great Marksman:
- Easy to use - If you are a beginner and want to use a hero with smooth and powerful skills, you can definitely use Clint.
- Long range- Due to Clint’s long-range attack and passive, he can even attack turrets outside of its range.
- Burst damage - Clint deals burst damage, which becomes deadly every second that passes by. This burst damage can immobilize enemies.

9. Yi Sun-shin
Gotta admire the admiral.
Yi Sun-shin probably never left the meta for quite some time now. He remains to be the hero that is ready to sail into battle no matter what. Yi Sun-shin embodies this powerful commander who is prepared to protect his constituents. With his ability to switch between shooting enemies from a distance and sword fighting at close combat, he can make a good pick as a jungler.
Yi Sun-shin is considered to have 59% difficulty when using, with 70% in durability and 79% in offense. His skills have duality, as it varies depending on whether he hits with or without his turtle ship. With every weapon swap, Yi Sun-hin gains a guaranteed critical strike in his next two basic attacks, making him very deadly. On top of that, he also gains an additional 20% movement speed and reduces his cooldown by a second.
What makes Yi Sun-shin a Great Marksman:
- Map attack - This is probably the one skill that separates Yi Sun-shin from the rest. He can damage all enemies on the map, even those hiding in the bush.
- Strong in the late game - With Yi Sun-shin’s ability, he thrives in the late game. So, be sure to avoid getting too aggressive in the early game.
- Can easily escape - Since marksman heroes are fragile, they are often the first target of enemies. But Yi Sun-shin will give you a run for your money before you catch him.

8. Bruno
Kick your way to victory!
Bruno has always been a force to be reckoned with. But with the latest update, he becomes even more dangerous. He only sports a difficulty of 30% but an offense of 90%. The only downside is his durability of 46%.
He recently gained an increase in his crit chance and basic attack damage due to his passive, which is why he can easily penetrate through enemy defences. Bruno’s first skill can damage and slow enemies by 30% for 0.5 seconds. His second skill offers a blink skill for Bruno, which is good when escaping. This skill can also stun enemies for 0.5 seconds, which can serve as his CC. Lastly, the ultimate skill of Bruno allows him to kick a large energy ball that dals up to 83% increase in his total physical attack, knocking enemies that get hit by it. Each hit of this energy ball will also reduce the enemy’s defense up to 8% for 8 seconds.
Bruno deals so much damage that is highly effective against heroes with low DPS than him, such as Karrie and Claude.
What makes Bruno a Great Marksman:
- Agile - Bruno’s skills are quick and difficult to catch, which is why he has good escape skills.
- Large damage- As mentioned, Bruno is at leverage against other marksmen because of his crit and basic damage.

7. Moskov
Level up your game!
Moskov is known for having this unique ability to stun enemies against walls, which is why he is a decent choice if you want to carry your team when playing ranked games. The recent updates made on him make him a very popular choice now in the gold lane. Just by using proper build and itemisation, you can surely knock out enemies in one skill.
Moskov’s passive allow him to penetrate a target and deal damage to enemies behind the target. If the basic attack hits the target successfully, the cooldown of his first and second skills will be reduced by 0.8 seconds. His first skill helps him teleport to a designated position, increasing his attack speed up to 70% for 3 seconds. Next, the second skill of Moskov offers CC and damage. When he strikes an enemy and the enemy collides with another enemy hero, both of them will be stunned for 1.5 seconds. If the target collided with an obstacle, he will also be stunned in the same amount of time.
What makes Moskov a Great Marksman:
- Strong in the late game- Moskov is never a bloomer in the early game. You need to wait for him to buy some damage items in order to heighten her skills. No one can stop him once he reaches his ultimate scaling in the late game.
