Here are three strong heroes to counter Rafaela in MLBB

Mathilda

What sets Mathilda apart from other support heroes is her ability to unleash burst damage using Soul Bloom and Circling Eagle.

Using Hero Lock Mode, target Rafaela with Circling Eagle, and activate Soul Bloom while airborne. After charging at her, release Soul Bloom and enhanced basic attack from Ancestral Guidance to deal a massive amount of damage.

If she is too far away, use Guiding Wind to close in while enabling a teammate to follow you and help you in taking her down.

Hayabusa

Use Ninjutsu: Quad Shadow to close the distance against her. Follow up with Ninjutsu: Phantom Shuriken and basic attacks to apply four Shadow Marks onto her.

Baxia

Tank hero Baxia is a bane to heroes reliant on healing abilities due to his passive, Baxia Mark. It significantly reduces the shield and HP regen of enemies while bolstering his tankiness.

Begin your assault against Rafaela with Baxia-Shield Unity. Once you have narrowed the gap, trigger Tortoise’s Puissance and persistently chase her down.

Strike her with Shield of Spirit repeatedly to force her away from her team while slowing her down.

Purchase Dominance Ice to further weaken her healing spell. Additionally, focus on building defensive items based on the opposing team’s composition to strengthen your overall defense.
