Ling Counter Mobile Legends 2025

Ling is the most mobile assassin in Mobile Legends that I have ever played. He can freely move between walls to find his targets and take them down with burst damage.

To counter Ling, you need to use items that prevent critical damage and burst damage. Prioritize using heroes that can crowd control and dealing burst damage.

Tips counter Ling

Ling never engages in direct combat but rather assassinates weak targets. Therefore, you should not go alone or return if you are low on blood.

Ling has a lot of advantages in the jungle because he can move between walls. You should not fight Ling in the forest and need to control your vision to know Ling’s direction of movement.

You should use Aegis or anti burst damage items. You will prevent Ling from killing you quickly with burst damage.

Use Petrify and CC skills to catch Ling when he attacks you. Skills that can prevent Ling from moving to destroy him quickly.

Extending the match to the late game, Ling will be nerfed at this stage.

Ling is quite weak and you can take him down quickly with burst damage.

Since Ling uses a lot of mana to cast skills, steal Ling’s blue buff.

How to counter Ling in the jungle:

Control vision and stay away from walls as Ling can pop up out of nowhere to kill you. Prevent Ling from farming the jungle and snowballing quickly in the early game. Pick a hero with good resistance and lots of CC to counter Ling when he rushes you.
