Mobile Legends Freya guide: Best build, skills, emblem, combos

Updated on September 2, 3:00 p.m. (GMT+8): Adjusted best build and emblem based on MLBB patch 1.9.06B.

Bearing the guilt from the tragedy that took her sister away, Mobile Legends: Bang Bang fighter Freya made a vow to protect the Northern Vale at all costs and bring glory to her name.

The Valkyrie shines in melee combat where she can showcase her impressive offensive arsenal and durability. Her skill kit allows her to enter a powerful state where she gains both offensive and defensive stats to woman up against any foe.

However, mastering Freya requires a good understanding of her skills and knowing how to leverage these strengths in different game scenarios.

In this ONE Esports guide, we will dive deeper into her abilities, strategies, and the best build to maximize her potential.

Freya’s skills in Mobile Legends

Passive – Power of Einherjar

After casting a skill, Freya gains substantial Attack Speed for her next Basic Attacks (this effect can stack up to a certain number of times). Freya gains a stack of Sacred Orb on each Basic Attack and can spend Sacred Orb stacks to cast Spirit Combo consecutively.

• This skill is vital for building up Freya’s power. The key is to keep attacking enemies to stack your orbs and unleash her enhanced Basic Attack.
• It allows her to dominate the game early since only few heroes can trade with her in one versus one scenarios.

First skill – Leap of Faith

Freya jumps to the target location, dealing Physical Damage to enemies hit and pulling them towards her.

• This ability is great for initiating fights or ambushing enemies.
• Maximize this skill by targeting squishy or high-damage heroes to disrupt their positioning.

Second skill – Spirit Combo

Freya strikes in the target direction, gaining a shield while dealing Physical Damage to enemies hit and slowing them for a duration. Freya can cast this skill again within a few seconds at the cost of stacks of Sacred Orb. On the third cast, Freya leaps into the air and smashes the area below, dealing Physical Damage to enemies within range and knocking them airborne for a short duration.

• This is your primary damage ability so max this skill first. Take advantage of the shield and boost in Physical Damage to bully enemies when in the lane, or clear waves fast when playing as a jungler.
• Sneak some Basic Attacks in between activations to continue gaining Sacred Orb stacks. That way, you can continue activating this ability.
• Use this skill in combination with Leap of Faith to control enemies and deal significant damage.

Ultimate – Valkyrie Descent

Freya gains several stacks of Sacred Orb and enters the Valkyrie state, gaining a shield and Physical Attack. Meanwhile, her Basic Attacks become ranged and deal splash damage. The Valkyrie state lasts for a couple of seconds.

• With this activated, Freya turns into a machine capable of obliterating even durable tanks.
• The shield allows her to be on the frontlines, and the enhanced attacks make her a threat to any enemy.
• Activate this skill when you’re about to engage in a team fight or initiate ambushes. You can also use it defensively when you’re low on health and need to escape.

A comprehensive guide on how to play Freya in Mobile Legends

Recommended battle spell

When playing as a jungler, Retribution is the obvious choice. It provides a dual purpose. Firstly, it inflicts damage against jungle monsters, accelerating your farming and allowing you to level up faster. Secondly, it allows you inflict debuffs onto enemy heroes.

Specifically, the Ice Retribution blessing works well with the fighter. This allows you to steal movement speed from your target depending on your level for several seconds, making you agile while slowing them down.

If you’re playing as a side laner, Inspire is the best battle spell for your hero. Choosing this spell is all about enhancing Freya’s offensive prowess, making her even more lethal during team fights.

This spell boosts your attack speed, allowing you to land more hits within a shorter period. This works exceptionally well with her passive skill, Power of Einherjar, which grants her a Sacred Orb for each attack landed.

With Inspire, you can stack orbs faster, enter her powerful Valkyrie state sooner, and unleash devastating damage against her enemies.

Recommended emblem

Take the Assassin emblem to get a combination of Adaptive Penetration, Adaptive Attack, and Movement Speed. Customize it and get Fatal, Weapons Master, and War Cry.

Fatal increases Freya’s critical chance, which synergizes well with her Basic Attack-centric playstyle. This talent allows you to dish out high burst damage, especially when combined with skills that enhance Basic Attacks.

Weapons Master boosts Freya’s Physical Attack based on her extra physical items. This talent is crucial because Freya heavily relies on her Basic Attack damage, and the additional attack power directly improves her damage output.

For your main talent, War Cry is the best choice. After every separate instance of Basic Attack or skill hit on an enemy hero, your damage output will be increased for a duration.

Since your damage output is reliant on successive Basic Attacks, this talent empowers you to obliterate your target.

Freya best build

Freya is a dominant early-game hero because of her skill kit. Double down on this by acquiring Blade of Despair as her first core item. By acquiring this equipment, you will have insane Attack Damage that will help you clear camps faster and eliminate targets easily.

Continue building on your kill potential by acquiring Berserker’s Fury. With this item, you can deal significant damage even if the enemy heroes have defensive items built.

After that, purchase Endless Battle. This item improves not only your Physical Attack, but it also gives additional HP, Cooldown Reduction, Movement Speed, and Hybrid Lifesteal.

The item also has a passive called Divine Justice which will allow you to deal True Damage to enemies.

Transitioning to the late game, purchase Great Dragon Spear and Malefic Roar. Great Dragon Spear gives additional Physical Attack, Cooldown Reduction and Crit Chance.

More importantly, it gives you a boost in Movement Speed when you activate Valkyrie Descent. This allows you to close the gap faster.

Meanwhile, Malefic offers significant physical penetration, making it easier for you to shred through the enemy’s armor, especially against tanks and other durable opponents.

The best build for Freya in Mobile Legends

• Tough Boots
• Blade of Despair
• Berserker’s Fury
• Endless Battle
• Great Dragon Spear
• Malefic Roar

Tips and easy combos to learn

Ideal for those who enjoy a strong and tanky playstyle, Freya’s aggressive early game and effective crowd control make her a force to be reckoned with.

While she excels in durability and offensive power, she can be susceptible to crowd control and requires good positioning to maximize her potential.

Freya shines in the early game. Take advantage of her insane damage to dominate lanes and pressure opponents from the get-go. But first, focus on farming and gaining experience as quickly as possible to reach level four, where you essentially become an assassin.

In the mid-game and late-game, continue roaming and applying pressure across the map. Use Leap of Faith to initiate fights, then activate Spirit Combo with Basic Attacks to secure kills.

Activate your Valkyrie Descent to gain a shield and increase your survivability in skirmishes.
