Vexana, once a bottom dweller in terms of popularity and pick rate in Mobile Legends: Bang Bang, has risen.

She gained a completely new set of skills, along with the ability to summon a massive undead knight as big as the Turtle with her ultimate, Eternal Guard.

She now has the potential to make or break team fights, unlike before when she was more of a liability.

Revamped Vexana can still be countered, however, for she doesn’t have any mobility skills or reliable crowd control. Here are three heroes who have a fighting chance against her.

First on the list is the queen of the seas, Kadita. She is perfect against squishy heroes who have no escape skills, such as Vexana.

Once she controls a target with Breath of the Ocean, Kadita can immediately close the gap with Ocean Ode and deal the killing blow with Rough Waves.

Ocean Ode and Rough Waves are also great skills for escaping her ultimate, Eternal Guard.

Furthermore, her passive, Thalassophobia, can restore most of her health if she gets comboed in a team fight. Pick Kadita if you want the safest and easiest response to the revamped Vexana.

Aurora

Aurora and Vexana function the same way. Both heroes excel in initiating team fights and surprising the enemy team with their area-of-effect skills.

However, what sets Aurora apart is that her passive, Pride of Ice, freezes enemies in place.

A skilled Aurora player will be able to abuse Vexana’s lack of mobility by hiding in the bush, freezing her once she goes near, and bursting her down.

This is a lot easier to pull off if Aurora catches her alone, isolated from her teammates, especially if she doesn’t have Purify or Winter Truncheon.

The downside to the Aurora pick is she doesn’t have any mobility as well, so it’s more of a skill matchup once it reaches the late game when both heroes are at full build.

Kagura

Kagura is one of the hardest heroes to learn in the Land of Dawn, but she can be very rewarding, especially in higher ranks.

She has mobility, decent damage, and can remove crowd control skills with Rasho Umbrella Flee.

She can cancel Vexana’s Cursed Blast and Eternal Guard combo if casted at the right time, and can counterattack with Seimei Umbrella and Yin Yang Overturn. Vexana won’t have an answer to her damaging skills, and will be forced to burn whatever battle spell she has.

Even if she chooses to be defensive and hide in bushes, Kagura’s umbrella will be able to provide vision in an area using Seimei Umbrella Open in chokepoints.
