When you play the Mobile Legends (ML) game, you will surely come across terms that sound foreign to your ears, such as mid laner and offlaner. If you are new to playing Mobile Legends, maybe you will be confused by the term.
For this reason, this time Kabar Games will provide complete information about what an offlaner is, what its duties are and who is the best offlaner hero in Mobile Legends (ML). Without wasting much time, let’s start with the offlaner discussion.
What is Offlaner?
What is an offlaner hero? Offlaner is a hero assigned to guard the side lane EXP or the top tower. In this role, usually an offlaner will stand guard alone in a lane where there is no turtle. In this lane, an offlaner will usually face 1 or 2 enemies.
For this reason, a fighter is required to be able to deal with 1-vs-1 or 1-vs-2. You could say in this lane the position of the offlaner is quite vital, even offlaner is forbidden to die because if that happens, the enemy will very easily destroy the tower.
Considering the task given to offlaner is quite heavy, in this lane usually the hero assigned to guard is a fighter type hero. The reason is quite logical, because only fighter heroes can do this.
Offlaner’s Tasks
There are at least 3 tasks that a hero offlaner must carry out. To be able to understand the duties and functions of offlaner, let’s discuss together what are the duties and responsibilities of ML offlaner heroes.
Protecting the Turret
The first duty of an offlaner is to guard and protect the turret. It’s a tough task indeed, but this task can be quite easy for you to do if you manage to destroy the opponent’s turret first.
Why? because when the opponent’s turret is destroyed, your team has a wider range of motion when jungling. Not only that, the destruction of the opponent’s turret will also give your team additional gold or money. With the money you get, you and your team can buy the items your theme needs.
Initiator and Secondary Tank
The second task that an offlaner must do is to be the initiator as well as a secondary tank in the fight. Initiator means, offlaner needs to see the minimap where the location of the battle takes place.
In fact, being the second tank is not the offlaner’s job, but the offlaner can also take part when the tank is busy securing junglers and support. From there the offlaner can secretly initiate the course of the battle and mess it up.
Helping mid laner
The third task of an offlaner is to assist the midlaner (tank, support, and jungler) in getting buffs and killing turtles. The offlaner’s task in helping the mid laner is indeed a dilemma in itself, because apart from having to maintain their objective, the offlaner must also help secure the midlaner’s objective. Therefore, the role of the offlaner is very important.
Best Offlaner Hero
Given that the offlaner’s task is quite heavy, the hero assigned to become an offlaner is a fighter hero. And here is a very good fighter hero assigned as an offlaner.
Chou
Chou is very suitable to be used as an offlaner because he is able to inflict considerable damage to the opponent. Chou has defense and a skill called Shunpo that can make him escape from the opponent’s crowd. In addition, with his ultimate Chou is also known as the ultimate initiator who is able to initiate kidnappings and randomize enemy areas.
Yu Zhong
The second best fighter hero in Mobile Legends who is also very well assigned as an offlaner is Yu Zhon. With the ability to fight one on one at the beginning of the game, Yu Zhong can be relied on to master the lane so easily.
Moreover, this best hero also has the ability to turn into a dragon which seems to be very troublesome for enemy defenses. Although actually even when he became a human, Yu Zhong’s attack range was also quite far.
Esmeralda
Esmeralda’s strength when placed as an offlaner is that she is able to make the opponent’s shield hers. This is certainly very beneficial for the team, because the strength of the offlaner will increase significantly when dealing with the opponent’s attack.
Especially in the early game, Esmeralda is also very aggressive and can do quite a lot of damage. In short, the skills and abilities that Esmeralda really support her to become the best offlaner hero.
Khaleed
This sword hero has long been considered the best offlaner hero. Armed with a movement speed that can make him move quickly and painful damage makes the fighter hero Khaleed very useful if positioned as an offlaner.
Not only that, with his ultimate skill, Khaleed is able to provide crowd control that can be very troublesome for the enemy. Because it is equipped with the ability to regenerate HP, you can really invite Khaleed to play aggressively starting from the early game.
Lapu-lapu
Besides Chou, Yu Zhong, Esmeralda and Khaleed, you can also rely on Lapu-lapu to become the best offlaner. Why? because in addition to having high durability, having large burst damage, this fighter role hero has also received a lot of revamps for his skills. If he activates his ultimate skill, Lapu-lapu can become very strong, very ready to be a reliable initiator in battle.
