Read all about the new MLBB hero, Zhuxin, here!
Mobile Legends: Bang Bang (MLBB)'s next hero, Zhuxin, is set to make her entrance in the Land of Dawn very soon. Before she becomes playable in the Official Server, you may want to warm up to her spell kit and build. Let's take a look at all Zhuxin's abilities and recommended build below!
- Role: Mage
- Specialty: Damage & Crowd Control
- Lane: Mid
- Damage type: Magic
- Attack type: Ranged
All Zhuxin abilities in MLBB
[PASSIVE ABILITY] Crimson Butterflies
Every time Zhuxin channels Lantern Flare, she converts the Mana spent into up to 30 Crimson Butterflies to follow her Spirit Lantern. After Zhuxin stops channeling Lantern Flare, the Crimson Butterflies will gradually disappear, each restoring a percentage of her Max Mana.
Passive spell: The mana drain from Zhuxin's Lantern Flare ability is incredibly high and her passive helps her store back Mana quickly.
Fluttering Grace
Zhuxin deals Magic Damage to all enemies in a fan-shaped area and applies 1 stack of Soul Snare. Zhuxin also slows all enemy heroes hit and gains extra Movement Speed herself.
Spell 2: Fluttering Grace is an area-of-effect damage-dealing spell. On top of that, it also slows down enemy's movement whilst giving Zhuxin movement speed buff.
Lantern Flare
[Hold] Zhuxin continously consumes Mana while the Spirit Lantern can be moved with the skill button, dealing Magic Damage to all enemies within range every 0.25 seconds and applying Soul Snare to enemies hit. When an enemy hero has 10 stacks of Soul Snare, they will be lifted airborne for 1 second.
[Release] Throws all captured enemies to the target location, dealing Magic Damage to all enemies in the area.
Spell 3: The third ability in Zhuxin's spell kit, Lantern Flare, is her highlight feature. This spell deals continuous damage in an area. It has no cooldown, but the mana drain is very significant. After a while it will lift the enemy which you can release anywhere.
[ULTIMATE] Crimson Beacon
Zhuxin blinks to the target location while gaining a shield. While flying, she creates a field around her. The field deals Magic Damage and applies 1 stack of Soul Snare to enemies every 1 second.
Ultimate: Zhuxin's ultimate, Crimson Beacon, allows her flexible movement, being able to blink and then fly, whilst also increasing her movement speed. While under the effect of her ultimate, Zhuxin gains a shield and exudes a field around her which also damages enemy.

Recommended build for Zhuxin
Zhuxin is a Mage hero that can deal TONS of magical damage. She has quite a rounded up spell kit with enough damage, some sort of backup mana refill, and flexibility. In our recommended build, we will focus on buffing Zhuxin to burst enemies quick.
- Equipment: Wishing Lantern
If it isn't obvious enough, the new Equipment called Wishing Lantern is designed perfectly for Zhuxin. This Equipment counters high-HP heroes and will allow Zhuxin to quickly burst anyone. But if you want to play a little safer, you can save the burst build for items only and pick a safer Equipment such as Flicker.
The recommended items are:
- Clock of Destiny
- Arcane Boots
- Holy Crystal
- Lightning Truncheon
- Divine Glaive
- Blood Wings
However, if you feel like the burst damage is an overkill, you can go for items that give you a little more sustain. Just replace the first three item choices with Enchanted Talisman, Demon Shoes, and Genius Wand.
