Suyu: A Comprehensive Guide

Alright, here's a comprehensive guide for Suyu in Mobile Legends: Bang Bang, focusing on viable lanes, builds, emblems, and counter items.

Hero: Suyu

Primary Role: Mage

Best Lane: Mid Lane

Secondary Lane (Situational): Jungle (Requires heavy farming and careful management)

Disclaimer:

Suyu is primarily a Mid Laner. While the Jungle role is possible, it requires a strong team composition, dedicated farming, and a deep understanding of jungle mechanics. Playing Suyu in other lanes (Gold/Exp) is highly unrecommended due to her lack of mobility and defensive stats.

I. Mid Lane Suyu - The Primary Role

Suyu excels in the Mid Lane due to her range, burst damage, and wave clearing capabilities. She can poke enemies from a safe distance, control the lane, and roam to assist other lanes when needed.

A. Build 1: Burst Mage (Standard)

• Focus: Maximize magic power for burst damage. Great for quickly eliminating squishy targets.
• Items:
  1. Arcane Boots: Magic Penetration for early-mid game damage.
  2. Clock of Destiny: Mana, HP, and Magic Power. Good scaling.
  3. Lightning Truncheon: Magic Power, Mana, and a passive that deals extra damage based on mana.
  4. Holy Crystal: Huge Magic Power boost.
  5. Divine Glaive: Magic Penetration to cut through magic defense.
  6. Blood Wings: Magic Power, HP, and a shield. Provides sustain.
• Emblem: Mage Emblem
  • Tier 1: Agility (Movement Speed)
  • Tier 2: Observation (Magic Penetration)
  • Tier 3: Magic Worship (Deals a percentage of enemy HP as extra damage, good for sustained engagements)

B. Build 2: Continuous Damage & Sustain

• Focus: Offers better survivability and sustained damage output in longer fights.
• Items:
  1. Arcane Boots: Magic Penetration
  2. Clock of Destiny: Mana, HP, and Magic Power. Good scaling.
  3. Lightning Truncheon: Magic Power, Mana, and a passive that deals extra damage based on mana.
  4. Glowing Wand: Magic Power, Movement Speed, and a burning effect that deals damage over time. Great against tankier targets.
  5. Holy Crystal: Huge Magic Power boost.
  6. Immortality: Provides a second life and a shield.
• Emblem: Mage Emblem
  • Tier 1: Agility (Movement Speed)
  • Tier 2: Observation (Magic Penetration)
  • Tier 3: Mystery Shop(You can buy equipment with low prices)

C. Counter Items & Adjustments (Mid Lane):

• Against High Magic Defense:
  • Replace Blood Wings (Build 1) or Immortality (Build 2) with Genius Wand (Reduces Magic Defense with each hit) or another Divine Glaive if they stacked magic defense to the max.
• Against Heavy Crowd Control (CC):
  • Consider swapping Arcane Boots for Tough Boots (Reduces CC duration) if you are constantly getting chain-stunned. Consider the Purify battle spell.
• Against Burst Assassins (e.g., Natalia, Ling):
  • Build a Winter Truncheon (Active skill to become invulnerable for a short duration) after Holy Crystal. Practice timing your invulnerability correctly.

II. Jungle Suyu - The Alternative Role

Suyu can theoretically Jungle, but it's significantly harder and relies heavily on good early game farming and ganking. Her clear speed is slow initially, making her vulnerable to invades.

A. Build 1: Speed Farming & Burst Ganks

• Focus: Optimized for quickly clearing jungle camps and bursting down enemies during ganks.
• Items:
  1. Demon Shoes: Mana regen, the most important stat for early game.
  2. Hunter's Knife: (Jungle item, upgrade to Nimble Blade for faster jungling and then to Raptor Machete for true damage to enemy heroes)
  3. Clock of Destiny: Mana, HP, and Magic Power. Good scaling.
  4. Lightning Truncheon: Magic Power, Mana, and a passive that deals extra damage based on mana.
  5. Holy Crystal: Huge Magic Power boost.
  6. Divine Glaive: Magic Penetration.
• Emblem: Assassin Emblem
  • Tier 1: Agility (Movement Speed)
  • Tier 2: Invasion (Physical & Magic Penetration)
  • Tier 3: Killing Spree (Regenerate HP and gain movement speed after a kill, good for sustaining in the jungle and chaining ganks)

B. Build 2: Sustained Damage & Ganking

• Focus: Provides better sustain in the jungle and continuous damage in team fights.
• Items:
  1. Demon Shoes: Mana regen
  2. Hunter's Knife: (Nimble Blade -> Raptor Machete)
  3. Clock of Destiny: Mana, HP, and Magic Power. Good scaling.
  4. Glowing Wand: Magic Power, Movement Speed, and burning effect.
  5. Holy Crystal: Huge Magic Power boost.
  6. Immortality: Provides a second life.
• Emblem: Assassin Emblem
  • Tier 1: Agility (Movement Speed)
  • Tier 2: Invasion (Physical & Magic Penetration)
  • Tier 3: High and Dry (Deals more damage when near one enemy hero, good for ganking)

C. Counter Items & Adjustments (Jungle):

• Against Early Game Invades:
  • Communication with your team is KEY. Place wards strategically. Consider using the Retribution battle spell defensively to secure camps.
• Against Tank Junglers (e.g., Barats, Akai):
  • Divine Glaive is crucial. Also, communicate with your team to focus fire.
• Against Mobile Assassins:
  • Winter Truncheon can be life-saving. Consider the Flicker battle spell for extra mobility. Also, Immortality is essential.
• Against anti-heal effects:
  • Build Oracle for better shield and hp regen.

III. General Suyu Tips & Strategy:

• Early Game: Focus on farming efficiently. In the Mid Lane, prioritize clearing waves to control the lane and roam effectively. In the Jungle, secure your buffs and clear camps quickly.
• Mid Game: Look for opportunities to gank other lanes and secure objectives (turrets, Turtle, Lord). Use Suyu's range to poke enemies down before engaging.
• Late Game: Position yourself safely in team fights and focus on bursting down key targets (carries, mages). Use your skills strategically to control the battlefield.
• Skill Usage: Practice landing your skills effectively. Her skill 2 is difficult to use but it can also be used to scout the enemy's movement.
• Map Awareness: Pay attention to the minimap and communicate with your team. Suyu is vulnerable to ganks, so always be aware of your surroundings.
• Team Composition: Suyu works best with a team that can provide crowd control and peel for her. Avoid picking her into teams with too many assassins or dive heroes.

Important Considerations:

• Practice: Suyu requires practice to master. Spend time in Classic or Practice Mode to get comfortable with her skills and builds.
• Adaptability: Mobile Legends is a dynamic game. Adjust your build and strategy based on the enemy team composition and the flow of the game.
• Teamwork: Communication and coordination with your team are crucial for success.
