Which makes it one of the most used item in Mobile Legends. It also gives you a good protection against any mages early game because of its additional magic resistance and its HP regens lets you heal so that you won’t need to go recall each time.

So what role that should buy this item?

It is not role that should be a concern when buying this item in general, but which enemies that you are up against. For example in a match where you fight against a mage burst damager like Eudora, Gussion, and many more then you will definitely need this item.

However, if you are up against physical fighter or assassin like Hayabusha, Lapu – lapu and so on. Definitely use another item like Blade armor or Physical Defense armor.

If you are up with any mage especially if you are a Tanker, then try to take this item first before moving on the next item.

When Should we buy this item?

There are of course some circumstances and of course like i had said before, if you are up against a mage. But here we will give you the detail which is :

Role: Mage

• In the late game, especially if you are up against a mage damage dealer or a Mage assassins that can kill you one shot. However, if you could definitely don’t take this because mage should be protected by a tank and fighter rather, and would rather you to take another magic power item rather than this item.

Role: Assassins

• In the late game, If you are up against a one hit kill burst damager. It all depends if you can survive the mage damage dealer. However do not take this item unless it is really necessary.

Role: Fighter

• One of the best item for fighter especially if they are up against any mage. This is will be one of your core item that you should get in the late game for more durability against any mage. Do note that use this item only if you are up against a really annoying and burst damaging mage.

Role: Tank

• Probably your core item if you are up against any mage damage dealer. If you are a tanker, take this item first after your boots, and then you will be able to defense in both armor and magic damage because of the high durability. Especially since the damage of most physical damager is lower than most magic damager. But if you are up against non magic damager, then definitely buy physical defense item rather than this item.

Role: Support

• Depends on the situation, but also the same as other role. If you are up against Mage and it hurt really bad, then try to use it. But if not, then don’t because this item won’t be useful if you are up against a physical damage dealer.

Role: Marksman

• Not really that useful for Marksman. Still do take this if you are up with lunox, gussion, karina, or even any other mage that will one shot you in a bit. This item will definitely help you in pinch and the added health can be useful for your durability and survive ability, especially in the late game.

Conclusion

This item is indeed useful when you are up against mage or any magic damager, since most magic damager have a huge damage that will kill any of you in a matter of seconds. This item is definitely one of the core item for tank, and can be use in the early game since the most damage given in the early game is a magic damager.
