Check out the esports.gg build guide on mastering the support hero Angela in MLBB.
Angela is one of the most reliable utility support heroes in Mobile Legends: Bang Bang (MLBB). Angela’s healing capabilities and a bit of crowd control allow her to fit in with almost any team composition.
However, she shines the most in team compositions that rely on hard carries. This is because her Ultimate allows her to instantly teleport to an ally, granting them a shield and healing them, making it a game-changing ability in clutch moments.
To help you maximize her capabilities, here is a guide for Angela in MLBB, including her best build, emblems, battle spells, combos, and hero counters.
Skill analysis for Angela in MLBB
Passive: Smart Heart
Angela gains extra Movement Speed for a few seconds each time she casts a skill, stacking up to a certain limit. When she's attached to an allied hero, the Movement Speed boost is transferred to them
Skill 1: Love Waves
Angela sends Love Waves in the target direction, dealing Magic Damage to enemies hit, briefly revealing their positions, and applying a stack of Lover's Mark up to a set limit. Each stack increases the damage dealt and slows enemies for a few seconds.
The Love Waves also heal allied heroes hit. Angela can store multiple charges of this skill, and the recharge time is affected by Cooldown Reduction.
Skill 2: Puppet-on-a-String
Angela launches a Puppet String at the target enemy, dealing Magic Damage and gradually slowing them. If the enemy remains connected to the string for a few seconds, they become immobilized and take additional Magic Damage.
Each stack of Lover's Mark increases the final damage dealt.
Ultimate: Heartguard
Angela channels briefly, granting a powerful shield to a target allied hero regardless of distance, lasting for several seconds. Once the channeling is complete, she attaches herself to the ally for a period of time, allowing her to cast skills without consuming Mana.
Angela can recast this skill to cancel the channeling or detach from the ally early. The attachment ends immediately if the allied hero is eliminated.
Best Angela item build in MLBB
Here is our recommended item build that works best for Angela:

Demon Boots is important in the early game for Angela for the massive mana regeneration for helping allies with wave clearing. However, don't help your allies clear minion waves too much as it might ruin their lane control.
Afterward, get Flash of the Oasis as it can boost her healing power and is a staple item for all utility heroes who provide heals and shields. Follow this up with Fleeting time for a massive cooldown reduction for each assist or kill.
For the late game, go for Glowing Wand to reduce the health regeneration of targets hit, Holy Crystal for a massive Magic Power boost, and Blood Wings for an extra self-shield.
If you have trouble surviving in the game, change one of your late-game items to either Winter Crown or Immortality.

Recommended emblem and battle spell for Angela

Angela needs all the cooldown reduction she can get, so go for Inspire on the first slot. The second slot can have Bargain Hunter for a slight item discount in the shop but you can also get Pull Yourself Together for faster Battle Speel cooldown. The third and final slot can have Focusing Mark to increase the damage received by enemies hit by your attacks.
This Emblem set should complement the MLBB Angela item build above for a good balance between poke damage and healing consistency.
For Battle Spells, you can go for the classic Flicker that allows you to close the gap between your allies or escape enemy encounters. Alternatively, you can also get Revitalize for the extra AoE healing.
Easy combo tips to learn
There is no specific combo for Angela in MLBB. All you have to do is spam your first skill to heal allies in the early game. If an enemy is close to you, try and use your second skill and stick close to them until the stun effect activates.

The late game is where you need to do some multitasking. Monitor the HP of your allies at all times. You can see their HP at the top of the screen or their icons will also be shown beside Angela's Ultimate button. Focus on keeping the most important ally alive. It's mostly the hard carries but sometimes you need to prioritize the tank.

Once you are on top of your ally using your Ultimate, spam your first skill, as it does not require mana for the duration. If your ally is chasing an enemy, use your second skill and hope they can stick close long enough for the stun effect.
Hero and item counters for Angela
Hero counters
Angela in MLBB is squishy and vulnerable in the early game. This is why heroes with high early-game presence like Julian, Harley, and Lancelot are big threats to her. She is basically an easy target for most assassin heroes so never roam the map alone.
Item counters
Anti-healing is Angela's bane. If you are a Physical Damage hero, go for Sea Halberd. For mages, Glowing Wand is your best option. If you play a tank hero, build Dominance Ice. Keep in mind that the anti-healing effects from these items don't necessarily stack on top of each other.
That sums up our Angela build guide in MLBB. You are now ready to start mastering everyone's favorite healer support.
