He also has the ability to absorb enemy damage and restore lost HP with his skills, making him a formidable bruiser in the mid to late game.
While there’s a lot to love about this hero, playing him for the first time can be a bit of a challenge. To truly learn and master the Lone Lancer, you’ll need to understand how to play around his unique strengths and weaknesses.
Arlott’s skills in Mobile Legends
Passive – Demon Gaze
His demonic eyes will mark nearby enemy heroes and those affected by crowd control.
- The mark lasts for eight seconds on an enemy hero, and can also affect nearby creeps and minions.
- The eye automatically marks nearby heroes every eight seconds.
- There can be multiple marks at once.
- Even if you are hiding in a bush, heroes can still be detected, so it can be quite challenging for Arlott to pull off ganks.
- Before entering a team fight, ensure that your intended target has been marked to deal additional damage from Vengeance.
- Marked enemies will glow violet in color.
First skill – Dauntless Strike
He slams his spear, dealing physical damage to targets in front of him. The further the target is, the longer the stun duration.
- The skill can stun multiple targets in a straight line.
- This is a great farming tool in the laning phase as it has the ability to mark an entire minion wave. Once you land the skill, use Vengeance to last hit all the minions and gain bonus gold.
- Create distance whenever you use this skill as the stun duration is longer the further the target is.
Second skill – Vengeance
He charges at the target with his spear, dealing physical damage. If the target is marked by Demon Gaze, the skill will deal critical damage, refresh its cooldown, and heal HP.
- Since this is a targeted dash skill, it requires a specific target to activate, which also means that it cannot be used to jump over walls.
- If the enemy that Arlott dashed towards is marked, the skill will deal double damage and provide a heal.
- This skill also works on minions, but the healing effect is reduced to 50%.
Ultimate – Final Slash
He performs a wide-sweeping attack, dealing physical damage and displacing affected targets to the end of the swing.
- This ultimate pushes all affected targets from left to right in a straight line, marking them with Demon Gaze.
- The skill also reveals targets hidden in the bush for three seconds, making it a great anti-ganking tool in the laning phase.
- Arlott has the ability to shove targets through walls using Final Slash. This move can be advantageous in scenarios where you need to flee by propelling opponents to the opposite side of the battlefield, or push enemies towards your allies.
A comprehensive guide on how to play Arlott in Mobile Legends
Recommended battle spells
To make the most of his abilities, it’s recommended to use Petrify as a Battle Spell since its stun effect activates his Demon Gaze passive.
This allows him to extend his combo with the extra stun and deal more damage to his enemies.
However, if you plan to play him as a roamer, it might be a good idea to go for Vengeance instead. This Battle Spell enhances his survivability, ensuring that he lasts long in team fights after using Final Slash to start a team fight.
Recommended emblem
For his emblem, you can choose the Tank emblem if you are playing as a roamer or the Fighter emblem if you are in the EXP lane.
When playing Arlott in the side lanes, get Thrill for early game damage, and Wilderness Blessing for increased Movement Speed in the river and jungle areas. This combination of talents allows you to clear lanes fast and rotate quickly to other lanes to help out.
When playing as a roamer, customize the Tank emblem to get Rupture for early game kiting, and Tenacity for better survivability on low health.
The best core talent for him regardless of role is Brave Smite since it helps him survive in team fights with its HP restoration effect. Arlott has low cooldowns on his skills, so it’s ideal to go for spell vamp emblems.
Arlott best build
When playing as an EXP laner, it’s essential to prioritize survivability. Get Thunder Belt early on. It offers great synergy with Arlott’s skills by providing a mix of tankiness, cooldown reduction, and additional True Damage with its passive, enhancing your burst potential.
Follow this up with Hunter Strike to boost your Physical Damage and mobility through its passive. This passive triggers a Movement Speed boost after hitting enemies, allowing you to be more aggressive in chasing or escaping.
As you progress to the mid-game, purchase Dominance Ice. This item is vital for controlling enemies by reducing their healing effects and Attack Speed while giving a decent amount of armor and cooldown reduction.

Take Oracle to enhance your sustainability. This magic defense item amplifies your shield and regeneration effects, making you tougher in extended fights.
Finally, Queen’s Wings provides both damage reduction and lifesteal when your health gets low, allowing you to survive crucial moments and turn fights around.
When playing Arlott as a roamer, get Dominance Ice right after Thunder Belt, then boost your Magic Defense by getting Athena’s Shield or Radiant Armor.
Improve your Physical Defense even more by purchasing Antique Cuirass, then buy Queen’s Wings as your final item.

Tips and easy combos to learn
During the laning phase, you can start off by using Dauntless Strike to mark minion waves and secure last hits with Vengeance as you stay ahead of your opponent.
If you’re feeling more aggressive in the laning phase, wait for Demon Gaze to affect the enemy hero you’re matched against and pounce with Vengeance to get closer. Once you exhaust the mark, use the Dauntless Strike-Vengeance-Final Slash-Vengeance combo for an easy kill.
During team fights, wait for the enemy to gather together and use Final Slash to line them up in single file. Then, use Vengeance to deal damage and stun them once again with Dauntless Strike. If you happen to miss a target, fall back since Arlott is easy to kill once his only mobility skill is on cooldown.
