BLADE ARMOR: COUNTER TO BASIC ATTACKERS - GAME MECHANICS 13 

I remember my funniest moment with Blade armor Back when Beatrix was the most op hero around that time and that shotgun was a nightmare for everyone I was using Thamuz, I had both blade armor and Queen's wings on me and I was farming on the red buff and a Beatrix tried to blast me with her shotty but she died right after That Blade armor passive mixed with the Demonize passive and killed her 💀

I know exactly the blade armor mechanism, but I am still watching your video because i love to

Belerick with blade armor, dominance ice, genius wand and vengeance goes brrrr... 😂

We want video on new upcoming item changes like Wishing Lantern, CoD, etc

Finally i learn why my claude is slowed sometimes 😂. Thnx for the info😊

Elgin, can you cover the upcoming items like the Wishing Lantern, Sky Piercer, and Malefic Gun?

The big problem with blade armor is that it's for countering crits and basic attack only, with heroes having limited items, buying 1 piece of armor just to counter basic attacks is not really viable compared to antique cuirass which is an all around physical defense buff.

Extra Tip: for countering Trinity build (or aka Attack SPD build), better use Antique Quirass since its attack effect is considered physical skills so it'll activates its physical damage reduction effect. Partnered with Dominance Ice, both will work as a bes counter against Trinity build

Yes.More from this series please

As an Edith user, I love Blade Armor 😍 Its my first Core Item every game, No matter the enemy (I know, It's wrong) But if they are all Magic Damage and skill-based then I will use Radiant Armor, But if they have Natan, You know it, I will use Blade Armor, Dominance, Oracle, Holy Crystal and Starlium Scythe. I mean Have any of you tested it out in Practice? A Full stack Radiant armor with Blade Armor and the mentioned above can deal up to 1000+ True Damage, And not even counting the damage from her B.A and Passive 😍😍😍

Blade armor on belrick with vengeance is a nightmare for mms

Blade armour is actually pretty useless. It's passive is not that effective. Mostly mm uses inspire and they also uses hass claw. So the damage from blade armour does nothing. And even though it has highest physical defence, malefic roar counters it pretty badly. So it's useless item. It's only good for tanks like gatot and baxia. Otherwise it doesn't have a hp stat so it's useless for other tanks. They need to change its passive or remove this item and bring the other good item that can replace it

Wow, i didn't know before if the blade armor effect can applied multiple times

More of this series please!

As a tank roamer, I also use blade armor against fast hitting heroes even if they use trinity build. I find it impressive as a deterrent with punishing them using the return damage and it feels like antique cuirass is less effective against trinity builds due to hp based damage (I didn't test this thoroughly, only based on experience)

Love the content and the way you explained bro.. Need more guides like this in the future.. ✌🏼

Problem is blade armor by itself isn't good it gets stronger with other items like dominance or spell like vengeance in current meta most of the mms use Trinity build and blade armor gives no protection against Trinity build

Thats pro quality content there 🔥

Tankvanna is a thing now and this is what I've been using to shut down Sky-Cancers.

As much as its a valuable phy defense item against basic atkers, once they all get malefic roar in their builds.. it kinda just crumbles, and especially if the marksmen have lifesteal on top of it to mitigate the little to no dmg on the blade armor's reflect, and also quite literally not able to reflect the dmg of trinity users AT ALL cuz it only counts for the basic atk dmg, and not the item effects. If they truly want this item to be a staple anti-mm, they should atleast reflect a little bit of the basic atk effects too, its a reason why trinity heroes are more favored than crit heroes nowadays bcs of how blade armor works

5:52 and that is the reason why I dont push when I have blade armor LOL

Dear Elgin. A request. Please go through all the game control settings in a single video.

Keep these type of videos coming. Thank you!

just 5 min before watching this i was playing franco and struggling against crit build moskov because i didnt know how to use this item now its good

I didn't knw much about it before ! Thanks for the info 🎉🎉

I'd love to see a comparison between twilight armour and blade armour against a Lesley. Twilight should be better but I'm curious how big the difference is.

Let bro cook

kindly explain War axe and brute force breastplate Some say it have some sort of orb effects on other heroes. Like jawhead.

if they combine blade armor effect with reduce healing of dominance it would be very good item (remove aspd passive from dominance and make own item for itself), since lifesteal/healing is very strong in mobile legend unlike other moba. buying blade armor itself sometime isnt worth since it easily countered by single haas claw

Its good to point out that BA doest give you HP so its always good to learn or consider this early game, you cant just build this as 1st tank item if you are going to die right away.

be knowing damn well i would know all of these but still watching because knowledge is important: oh nvm

5man blade armor and 5man dominance ice in a teamfight would be crazy😂😂😂, so much slow effect😂

The +20% Critical Damage Reduction can be kind of redundant as of late. There are also times where it doesn't help much against heroes who build Trinity Build. At least Edith and Johnson make really good use of it.

4:40 bro you forgot fredrin He also has a taunt skill and he can get his hp back while you are getting dmg What I mean by ho back is he is attacking you while he is attacking you and you are returning the damage

It just provide a nuance of protection in an actual game. In High Elo game, this is useless against the very hero that this item was designed to counter. It may provide some use if you get your full build up which is very late in the game. Otherwise, you'd have this as 3rd or 5th item and the enemy MM is already full built with potion and an aegis.

How about the passive of sky piercer? Can the blade armor return the damage of "execute" Passive of sky piercer?

Wait what skin is that 0:07

For crit heroes you can buy items with hp + physical def

Can elgin do tutorial regarding cooldown build. Its painful seeing mythic player build item for their cooldown with 60-65% eventhough max is 40 normally and 45 with enchanted talisman

ALL marksman GOODBYE 😂😂

Can you also do more about Antique Cuirass? When to use that?

No only mm Even jungle creep also applied this rule but it's low damage return

Elgin is that dude who try to safe us as much time as posibble by making video with only a few minutes in one video. Meanwhile Kazuki make all of his video at least 10-20 minutes long

Make a video about which Items will work against the Trinity build

pretty underrated armor build but once understand it can be a game changer💪🏻

They should add the Life Bane passive to this armor instead of giving that passive to that one Armor item that has mana, I think it is kinda.. inconvenient for tank heroes that don’t even use mana

These videos are just Elgin flexing his skins lol. Ducati, atomic pop, m4, etc

I faced once jonson with 6 blade armor. His pop up shield is ridiculously high when he's low🙂

I already tested that last year Aldous full stack against 5 Laylas with full build blade armour only he one shot himself I laugh like maniac

the last trick is very useful!

video request on - how to use basic attack meelee heroes like sun and zhilong

I'd like to ask do Dominance Ice/Sea halberd/Necklace of Durance stack? Because I likely see players combine either of the 2 I said

I hope moontoon add more magic item defense If athena is for burst radiant is for continuous magic damage then what item can counter poke magic damage Just to explain poke magic are continuous magic damage but not really continuous it has a time spare of like 3 second and then another magic damage Radiant cant counter it because radiant stack will be gone after the next skill was release vice versa for aegis Maybe an item that has the passive reduce incoming magic damage if its damage is 400-700 reduce by 20% max hp of the user ni cooldown - adds a hp - adds a magic defense - adds a mana regen And another idea I hope they gave counter to true damage yes true damage aren’t meant to be countered but there is so many true damage in the game that makes it too broken Add a hybrid defense that has a passive of Reduce the incoming true damage by 50% of the damage dealt (10sec cooldown) (haf the effect for marksman and mage) Another passive is reduce continuous true damage by 10% of max hp - adds aa hp - adds an hybrid defense - adds a hp regen Edit: just to confirm to you guys that there is a lot of true damage heroes and items im gonna list it down (If I forgot someone or something comment it) Lesley’s passive Alpha’s passive Balmond’s ultimate Gord’s passive Diggie egg skills (idk why I include this LOL) Karina’s passive Karrie’s passive Martis ultimate Rafaela’s passive Minotaur’s ultimate Wanwan’s passive X borg first skill and ultimate Thamuz passive For item Azure blade Endless battle Starlium Sycthe Thunder belt War axe Spells Retribution Execute For monsters Lord’s attack Buff of the orange buff So as you all can see there is so many things that can deal true damage which sucks why? Because true damage has no counter and all of those heroes and items do not have counters because they are true damage

I think dominance ice is actually a bad combo for blade armor. Its passive reduces the enemy attack speed which will decrease the chance of blade armor returning damage because the enemy attack speed is reduced.

blade armor need buff or revamp and belerick passive THEY ARE USELESS

If belerick was an item basically.

When is the new clint mythic skin gonna release

Nah man penetration items are still way too op tanks can't tank, devs need to buff tank items more

Can u put this game mechanics in a playslist?

Do blade armor passive also include true dmg cuz the new item when the hp is in certain % it wil give 999999 true dmg

Blade armor vs Sky piercer at 12% hp? Does it kill both heroes?

Twilight Armor would be a better counter for Lesley than Blade Armor

Blade armor counter critical atk but now who Will go critical even moscov use triniti

You should've mentioned about "Radiant Armor" as this item can counter the returning dmg of vengeance.

Elgin be hitting the gym

Can you do game mechanics on Impure Rage.

Too bad you can't counter Popol and Nathan with blade armor, till this day I didn't have a counter against Popol and Nathan.

More counter items pls

We need a game mechanic about sea helblade please. It's a pain to understand this item .. i mean when is the 8% damage boost going to trigger?

Bro you need to notice me please because i cannot recharge in advance and has said the recharge system is not available in this via please you need to notice me 😢😢😢😢😢😢 i need answer please

Tank layla... Is tank layla meta back? Im seeing some hits here

Time for 5 tank with blade Armor

The Crit Zilongs worst enemy

Blade armor should get an update, and with hp

You forgot Grock 😂 The tough Cookie Hero that's stacks Defense the more Physical attack damage you have and his passive 😂😂😂

can i build 2 blade armor at the same time?

Blade armor for esme? It is ok?

We want every item video

if its before revamp belerick, he's the biggest menace for blade armor because of the fact his passive did not have a cooldown. old belerick: Receives 30% more HP from equipment items. The Flower of Life deals 50 + 1.5% of max HP in Magic Damage to the nearest target, every time receives 200 damage. The Flower of Life prioritizes targets that have been implanted marked by Nature's Seed. current belerick: For every 50 damage inflicted upon Belerick, he has a 25% chance to shoot the nearest enemy unit, dealing Magic Damage equal to 55 (+5 × Hero Level) plus 1.8% of his Max HP (scales with level). In each 0.4 seconds, this attack can be triggered once only. His HP obtained from Equipment and Emblems is increased by 30%. keep in mind that belerick had multiple hp growth and base hp nerfs. and old ult was a heal, with damage reduction that can also absorb damage from teammates (within the ult range 40%)

I can't count how many times I died because of tanks using this item + vengeance btw I use Bruno

Bro but u still cant encounter magic damager basic attackers😭😭😭😭😭😭💀🙏

Elgin i have a question, *Why is the blade armor called blade armor without blade on the armor?*

Magic basic attack heros are so nerfed they can't push can't give high basic DMG and cry. Specially Sylvia idk why her cd is abnormally high for exp lanes

I was using belerick and ebemy moskov got knocked up by lord so i sprint in with second skill with ult+vengeance+blade armor and he got deleted in one sec😂

5:18 a bit of lifesteal can easily negate the return damage meanwhile lifesteal 52 return damage 136

Ahm!

other items please until all of them are covered

It seems elgin got another buff again 🤣

Imagine trying to basic attack sun with BA and DI with a melee hero🤣

Elgin number 1.

If the enemy buy Sea Halberd or NoD and blade armor at the same time. did the damage that dealed through blade armor will apply anti-heal at the same time?

Lets begin Day 1 of asking elgin to oiled up

Cool, thanks!

Most of mlbb players thinks that blade armor can be useful against basic attack non critical heros in 1v1 like for example against trinity argus and sun Thamuz , it's pretty useless and it passive will not do anything to argus With immortality and sun with high mobility and his clones will slow you a lot and thamuz the return passive damage will probably do nothing not a scratch to thamuz even to lifestel it , or sun basically can return this slightly damage using demon hunter life steal and his clones will also do the job.

Does it counter nathan’s BA?

And yet useless at late game or once the enemy has a melefic roar

Plz add emblem vedios

I❤MLBB

I wish moonton ban items in rank game

This is ultimaate Eudora counter
