Valir Guide

His ultimate ability is particularly noteworthy, as it not only eliminates debuffs but also enhances his powers, enabling him to escape precarious situations while inflicting significant sustained damage. Mastering Valir involves understanding the optimal use of his emblem, choosing the right battle spells, and executing skillful combos to maximize his impact on the battlefield.

Valir’s Abilities in Mobile Legends

Passive – Engulfing Flames

Valir possesses the unique ability to place a stack of Engulfing Flames on his adversaries with each skill hit. This effect inflicts magic damage based on the opponent's maximum health over a few seconds. Once three stacks are accumulated, the fire erupts, dealing further magic damage and briefly stunning the enemy.

• To effectively utilize the stun from Engulfing Flames, it is crucial to target skills manually for improved precision.
• When landing consecutive strikes with his initial two abilities, Valir can reliably stun and inflict further burn damage.
• Each target can only be stunned once every seven seconds, ensuring balanced gameplay.

First Spell – Flaming Orb

Valir casts a flaming orb that detonates upon striking the first target, slowing and damaging them with magic. Afterward, the remnants of the fire on the ground ignite, causing additional magic damage.

He periodically regenerates a fireball every nine seconds, storing up to two. Hitting an enemy hero or eliminating a unit instantaneously refreshes a fireball.

• Maximizing the Flaming Orb skill should be prioritized, as it is Valir’s main source of damage.
• Manually aim this ability to boost accuracy, thereby allowing for quicker recharge and uninterrupted use.
• This skill is also useful for detecting hidden enemies in bushes; although it does not fully expose them, a fast recharge can indicate their presence.
• When an opponent is struck by both the initial hit and the ensuing explosion, Flaming Orb applies two stacks of Engulfing Flames, enabling a subsequent ability to stun.

Second Spell – Blazing Torrent

Valir channels a wave of flames in a chosen direction, delivering magic damage and propelling foes to the far end of the flame path.

• While primarily used to repel advancing enemies, Blazing Torrent can also be employed to push foes towards Valir’s allies or in the range of a turret.
• This spell can disrupt most dashing abilities, providing an escape route from enemies with such mobility.
• Similar to the Flaming Orb, use this ability to uncover enemies lurking in bushes by ejecting them and revealing their positions.

Ultimate Ability – Retribution Flames

Upon activating Retribution Flames, Valir purges all negative effects and summons four flaming enhancements for his skills over a span of nine seconds. These flames augment his subsequent abilities with added base damage.

Additionally, he receives a temporary boost in movement speed, which diminishes over time.

• Enhanced Flaming Orb: This enhancement expands the skill’s reach, increases the damage of explosions, and enlarges the impact area.
• Enhanced Blazing Torrent: This creates a lasting firewall at the torrent's end. If an enemy contacts the firewall, they endure a slow effect and suffer continuous magic damage.
• In team fights, Retribution Flames can be employed to immediately dispel control effects, offering Valir an opportunity to reposition safely and attack effectively.
• Note that this ability does not counter suppression effects from opponents like Kaja and Franco during their ultimate moves.
• Ensure abilities are available before using this ultimate.
• Upon activation, the player’s view will expand, enabling the identification of distant enemies and facilitating targeting with the Flaming Orb.

A Detailed Guide on Playing Valir in Mobile Legends

Suggested Battle Spell

Valir can greatly benefit from using Flicker as his battle spell, offering the mobility he needs to escape dangerous situations. Another option is Sprint, which boosts his speed temporarily, allowing him to maintain distance from pursuing foes and strategically reposition during combat.

Ideal Emblem

The Mage emblem maximizes Valir's damage potential by boosting magic power, cooldown reduction, and magic penetration. For those who prefer a more balanced approach, the Basic Common emblem is beneficial, providing hybrid regeneration that keeps Valir’s abilities active. Talent choices should include Agility for increased movement speed, Festival of Blood for enhanced spell vamp, and Impure Rage to deal adaptive damage while restoring mana.

Optimal Item Set for Valir

• Mana Sustain: Start with Demon Shoes to ensure a steady mana supply through hero kills, assists, and minion kills.
• Core Damage Items: Ice Queen Wand adds a debilitating slow to Valir’s attacks, while Glowing Wand enhances burn damage.
• Defensive Options: Items like Antique Cuirass or Blade Armor bolster physical defense, whereas Athena’s Shield or Radiant Armor enhance magic defense.
• Magic Amplification: For increased magic output, invest in Genius Wand or Divine Glaive.
• Survivability: As the game progresses, items like Winter Truncheon or Immortality improve survivability. If the opposing team has significant healing capabilities, consider Necklace of Durance to counteract their healing.

Valir's Recommended Item Build

1. Demon Shoes
2. Ice Queen Wand
3. Glowing Wand
4. Antique Cuirass or Athena's Shield
5. Genius Wand
6. Immortality

Simple Combos to Master

During early game laning, Valir can use Burst Fireball to apply a slow effect on enemies, setting up for Ashing’s stun. If opponents initiate an attack, he can create distance with Searing Torrent followed by another Burst Fireball.
In team engagements, should Valir become immobilized, activation of Vengeance Flame dispels the effect, allowing him to reengage and unleash improved Burst Fireball and Searing Torrent attacks.
To maximize impact while minimizing risk, Valir should stay positioned in the backlines during fights to continuously apply pressure with his abilities.
