Furthermore, it possesses a distinctive feature that amplifies its effectiveness as you accumulate five creep kills or assists, upgrading the spell based on your chosen type of blessing.
These blessings come in three distinct variations — Ice, Flame, and Bloody — each offering unique effects when cast against enemy heroes.
As a jungler, knowing the best type of Retribution to equip depending on your playstyle can lead to your dominance in the game, enabling you to carry your team to victory.
The three types of Retribution in Mobile Legends and when to equip them
Ice Retibution
This type of blessing allows you to steal movement speed from your target depending on your level for several seconds, making you agile while slowing them down.
Equip this when your opponents are highly mobile, particularly their mage or marksman. It can help you easily chase them down to secure a crucial kill or escape from them when getting pursued.
Ice Retribution works great for most assassin junglers, including Ling, Lancelot, and Gusion.
Flame Retribution
This one enables you to take physical attack and magic power from your enemy for several seconds. As such, it strongly enhances your chance of coming out on top in 1v1 situations, or securing a pickoff.
Use this if your team possesses a significant amount of crowd control spells, and you need to burst down an enemy as fast as possible.
Notably, heroes such as Hayabusa, Saber, and Helcurt significantly benefit from the special effect offered by Flame Retribution.
Bloody Retribution
This blessing lets you siphon off HP from your target over a duration of several seconds, allowing you to deal substantial damage while regenerating your own health.
Equip this if you’re a tank jungler who is prioritizing items that significantly increase your HP. With this, you can inflict huge DPS to your target, and absorb more incoming damage to protect your allies.
Barats, Fredrinn, Alice, tank Lancelot, and tank Karina are some of the best heroes to have Bloody Retribution.
Moreover, this also proves exceptionally useful for Harley, despite not being a tank jungler. This is primarily due to the synergy it creates with his Deadly Magic ultimate, allowing him to amplify his burst damage and ensure elimination of his target.
