Bane, the Lord of the Seven Seas, is a powerful fighter in Mobile Legends: Bang Bang. Originally a ruthless pirate, he now wields the power of the ocean to crush his enemies. Bane is a moderately easy hero to learn, with skills that are straightforward to grasp. His strengths lie in his high burst damage, ability to push towers effectively, and surprising mobility for a fighter.
Bane ML Skills
Passive Skill: Shark Bite
Bane’s basic attacks become charged with ocean energy periodically. These enhanced attacks deal extra magic damage and apply a slow effect to enemies.
First Skill: Crab Claw Cannon
Bane fires a blast of pressurized water in a designated direction, dealing damage to enemies and pushing them back slightly.
Second Skill: Ale
Bane takes a swig from his special brew, restoring some HP and increasing his physical and magic damage for a short duration.
Note: The longer you hold the rum in Bane’s mouth, the more damage you can deal.
Ultimate: Deadly Catch
Bane calls a school of spirit sharks that chase enemies in a targeted direction, dealing significant damage and slowing them. The sharks deal additional damage to enemies with lower HP.

Recommended Emblem for Bane
This Custom Fighter Emblem build provides a great balance of offensive power and slight survivability, allowing Bane to fulfil his role as a potent burst fighter capable of eliminating squishy targets.
Custom Fighter Emblem
- Thrill: Increases physical penetration, which synergizes perfectly with Bane’s high burst damage, letting him deal even more damage to enemy heroes, regardless of their armor.
- Tenacity: Reduces the duration of crowd control effects. This improves Bane’s resilience to stuns and slows, making him harder to stop when engaging on backline targets.
- Lethal Ignition: Triggers a powerful burning effect whenever Bane uses a skill. This adds a lot of extra damage to his combos, helping him secure kills with ease.
Bane Laning Phase & Gameplay Strategy
Laning Phase
- Aggressive Wave Clear: Bane excels at clearing minion waves quickly with his Crab Claw Cannon (first skill). Prioritize pushing the lane to pressure the enemy laner and give yourself roaming opportunities.
- Tower Harass: Don’t hesitate to use your Crab Claw Cannon and enhanced basic attacks to damage the enemy turret whenever possible. Bane is great at dismantling towers.
- Cautious Trading: While Bane has some poke, he can be vulnerable early on. Use your Ale (second skill) to sustain through trades, but avoid overextending and inviting ganks.
Rotations & Midgame
- Look for Ganks: Coordinate with your jungler to set up ganks in the side lanes. Bane’s burst damage and slows make securing kills easier.
- Split Pushing: Apply constant pressure by pushing out the EXP lane. If the enemy comes to defend, look for opportunities to rotate and join your team in a 4v4 advantage.
- Jungle Invasions: If your jungler needs support, help them secure or invade the enemy’s jungle buffs for a map advantage.
Late Game & Teamfights
- Flank and Burst: Try to ambush squishy enemy carries from unexpected angles (bushes or side lanes). Use your ultimate (Deadly Catch) to slow targets, then quickly burst them down with your empowered attacks and skills.
- Objective Control: Bane can secure objectives like Turtle or Lord quickly. Use your abilities to push enemies away and allow your team to secure these buffs.
Battle Spell
Flicker
Flicker can be a strong, albeit risky, pick for Bane. It lets him close the distance on targets out of reach with surprise attacks or chase down fleeing enemies, increasing his potential for securing kills. Flicker also gives Bane some outplay potential to dodge dangerous skillshots.
