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.

You should use Aegis or anti burst damage items.
Use Petrify and CC skills to catch Ling when he attacks you.
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.
