Lancelot is one of the most versatile assassins in Mobile Legends: Bang Bang. He can go in and out of a team fight, evade enemy abilities, and even burst down the tankiest of heroes with the right build.

With his insane mobility and damage output, he is one of the most picked assassins in the game. Notably, he is the top choice for Karl “KarlTzy” Nepomuceno, one of the best junglers in the MLBB competitive scene.

However, he’s not impossible to deal with. Here are some heroes you can choose if you end up playing against him in your ranked games.

Three strong counters to Lancelot in Mobile Legends

Silvanna

First on our list is none other than the Imperial Knightess, Silvanna. What makes her great are her sustain and survivability which makes it difficult to burst her down.

Silvanna’s ultimate, Imperial Justice, also holds down Lancelot even if he uses Phantom Execution or Puncture to get outside the circle of light.

With her wide array of abilities and crowd control capabilities, Silvanna has the power to outsustain and eventually eliminate a target quickly.

Ruby

Ruby‘s skill set featuring multiple crowd control effects is perfect against assassin heroes.

Abilities such as Don’t Run, Wolf King! and I’m Offended! are perfect gap closers every time Lancelot uses Puncture or Phantom Execution. She also has immense life steal and can easily restore her own HP quickly.

Any mobile assassin heroes will have a really hard time making an impact in a team fight if there’s a Ruby on the other team, so keep this in mind every time an enemy locks him in your ranked games.

Chou

A good Chou player can counter almost any hero that the Land of Dawn has to offer.

When it comes to Lancelot specifically, Chou has a few abilities up his sleeve that can annoy any Lancelot players. The assassin is a very squishy hero, and one combo of Jeet Kune Do and The Way of Dragon usually gets the job done.

Plus, A good Chou can outmaneuver Lancelot’s abilities with ease and even fight back when all of Lancelot’s skills are on cooldown.

Chou is a hard match against any squishy heroes, so he’s always a good pick if you see Lancelot on the opposing team.
