Updated on October 19, 7:30 a.m. (GMT+8): Adjusted battle spell, emblem, and best build based on MLBB patch 1.9.20

Badang, the Tribal Warrior, is a fearsome fighter hero in Mobile Legends: Bang Bang known for his devastating iron fists.

He possesses one of the deadliest skill combos in the Land of Dawn, trapping enemies within a rock wall before taking them down with a flurry of punches.

He also has crowd control immunity, shield gain, as well as knockback and stun effects in his unique skill set.

If you want to master playing Badang in Mobile Legends, here’s a complete ONE Esports guide that covers recommended emblems, battle spell, best builds, and skill combinations.

Badang’s skills in Mobile Legends

Passive – Chivalry Fist

After every four basic attacks, Badang’s next basic attack deals extra physical damage to enemies hit and knocks them back. Enemies that are knocked into obstacles will be stunned.

First Wind generated by his skills can also trigger this effect.

• Chivalry Fist can trigger basic attack effects and benefits from physical lifesteal items, so it’s highly recommended that you buy Demon Hunter Sword and Corrosion Scythe.
• Golden Staff can’t trigger the skill’s effects twice, but still provides him with a lot of attack speed to proc it as much as possible.
• This can be activated by Fist Wind and Fist Crack. You can stack this with basic attacks first before using the skills.
• With its knockback and stun effects, you can interrupt certain skills and blink or charge abilities.

First skill – Fist Wind

Badang unleashes a gust of Fist Wind in the target direction, dealing physical damage to enemies hit, slowing them, and knocking them back.

• The Fist Wind explodes upon hitting an obstacle, dealing damage to nearby enemies. However, this only explodes once even if passing through multiple obstacles.
• This can trigger attack effects and grants him one stack of Chivalry Fist, whether he hits an enemy or not. So, don’t hesitate to use this often.
• He stores up to two charges of this skill, and restores a charge every several seconds.
• As this is his farming and poking tool, prioritize maxing out this skill first.

Second skill – Fist Break

Badang dashes in the target direction, dealing physical damage to enemies in his path while gaining a shield that lasts for a few seconds.

He stops immediately upon hitting an enemy hero, slightly knocking them back while creating an obstacle that lasts for several seconds behind them. Enemies hit by the obstacle receive damage.

• Using this skill again will remove the obstacle.
• Its cooldown remains the same even if he creates a wall.
• He will only create an obstacle if he encounters heroes on his way. As such, he will pass through Guinevere‘s illusion, Sun‘s Dopplegangers, and Hanzo‘s original body when Kinjutsu Pinnacle is active.
• You can use this to dash over walls, making it a great tool for escaping as well.

Ultimate – Fist Crack

Badang throws a flurry of punches in the target direction, dealing physical damage to enemies hit multiple times. The Fist Wind generated by the punches will explode upon hitting an obstacle, dealing damage to nearby enemies.

He is immune to control effects for the duration.

• Similar to Chivalry Fist and Fist Wind, Fist Crack can trigger attack effects.
• This skill can only be cancelled or interrupted by suppression, which Kaja, Franco, and Barats possess in their ultimates. Make sure to use this once the enemies have spent their suppress abilities.
• Using Flicker will not cancel this skill. You can use it to reposition and hit your intended target.

A comprehensive guide on how to play Badang in Mobile Legends

Recommended battle spell

Flicker is the excellent battle spell for Badang. It provides him an outstanding way to catch enemies off guard, closing the gap against them instantly before launching his deadly combo.

He can also reposition his ultimate using Flicker if necessary. Additionally, he can use it to chase down enemies with low HP or get out of dangerous situations.

Recommended emblem

Maximize Badang’s damage output and mobility by opting for Assassin emblem, which provides adaptive penetration, adaptive attack, and movement speed bonuses.

Select Thrill in the first tier to increase your Attack Damage in the early game. Alternatively, you can choose Rupture for better Penetration.

Then, pick Master Assassin in the second tier to significantly amplify your damage against lone heroes, thereby enabling successful pickoffs.

For your core talent, Quantum Charge is an excellent option. With this, you gain periodic movement speed boost and HP restoration, ensuring your survival, especially during the laning stage.

Badang best build

Building up your attack speed is the best way to maximize Badang’s passive.

After buying Tough Boots or Warrior Boots depending on your lane matchup, purchase Sea Halberd and Demon Hunter Sword to get a boost on your Physical Damage and Attack Speed.

You also benefit from the items’ passives which helps control regeneration-based heroes in the EXP lane such as Esmeralda, Yu Zhong, or Uranus.

Your next items will depend on the situation of the game. If you need to dish out more damage per second, get Corrosion Scythe, then purchase Malefic Roar for Phyiscal Penetration. Round out your build with Rose Gold Meteor which benefits both your offense and defense.

You can also opt for a tankier build. After Tough Boots, get Sky Piercer to boost your kill potential in the early game. Then, purchase Thunder Belt. The item gives you additional HP and Physical Defense which scales over time.

In the mid to late game, boost your Physical Attack by purchasing Blade of the Heptaseas and Malefic Roar. Finish your build with Immortality to have a second chance in team fights.

The best build for Badang in Mobile Legends

• Warrior Boots or Tough Boots
• Sea Halberd
• Demon Hunter Sword
• Corrosion Scythe
• Malefic Roar
• Rose Gold Meteor

Easy combos to learn

In the laning phase, use Fist Wind to pressure your opponent and farm the minion waves. Try to trap your enemy with Fist Break and hit him with basic attacks to proc Chivalry Fist.

When you reach level four and get Fist Crack, you can unleash the combo. However, you may need two core items to guarantee a kill when the enemy has full HP.

Hide in the bush first and wait for the target to come close. Use Fist Break to hold him in place then cast Fist Crack. Finish him off with Fist Wind or basic attacks.

You can also use Flicker to cut the gap before executing the skill combo. When selecting targets, always go for squishy enemies, such as mages, assassins, or marksmen.
