Who is Mathilda in MLBB?
Mathilda is the first Assassin/Support hero to be released in MLBB. The character design resembles a Western Indian tribe girl. Her skills revolve around buffing her teammate’s movement speed while also dealing damage to her enemies.
Mathilda Abilities
Passive: Ancestral Guidance
Mathilda gains Ancestral Guidance stacks while moving. When it is fully charged, she gains basic attack damage and increasing her movement speed for a short amount of time.
1st Skill: Power of Ancestors
Mathilda calls upon her ancestor’s guidance and summons wisps around her for 3 seconds. As she moves, more wisps will be summoned up to 4 wisps. The wisps then attack nearby enemies dealing magic damage.
2nd Skill: Wind Force
Mathilda leaps to a designated area and upon landing, she casts a field surrounding her. Allies within the field will temporarily gain a new skill “Wind Force”. When an ally uses Wind Force, they will blink to Mathilda and both of them will gain movement speed buff.
Ultimate Skill: Lightness
Mathilda applies a Soul Mark to the targeted hero, dealing magic damage and after 3 seconds, Mathilda can cast the skill again to fly around the target for up to 3 seconds. During this period, wisps are summoned and attack nearby enemies dealing magic damage. While flying, Mathilda gains Control Immunity and Damage Reduction Buffs.
After casting the skill or reaching the time limit, she slams the ground, knocking enemies back dealing magic damage.
Mathilda offers a lot for her team. She can buff her allies’ mobility making ganks a lot easier and disengage if the situation gets sour. She also deals a lot of damage making her a decent assassin character. Perhaps this new hero would be a game-changer for the current meta of MLBB.
