Rafaela has everything you can hope for in a support hero in Mobile Legends: Bang Bang.
Her first ability, Holy Healing, heals and increases allies’ movement speed in a large area.
She also has an offensive ability called Light of Retribution, capable of inflicting damage and slowing down enemy heroes around her. It also reveals enemies hiding in bushes or those who have used Conceal.
Furthermore, Rafaela possesses Holy Baptism, a skill that can stun opponents, adding crowd control to her repertoire.
In this comprehensive ONE Esports guide, you’ll learn how to effectively play one of the most popular support heroes in the Land of Dawn.
Rafaela penalizes the enemy hero who has killed her (within a certain range), firing a homing blast that deals true damage.
Rafaela uses the power of holy light to deal magic damage to nearby enemy units, revealing them briefly and reducing their movement speed.
Rafaela calls upon Holy Light, restoring HP to nearby allied heroes plus additional HP to herself and the most injured ally in range.
Rafaela unleashes the true power of Holy Light in the target direction, dealing magic damage to enemies in a line and stunning them.
Since Rafaela is a squishy hero with no mobility skills, going for Flicker is the best choice. You can also go for Purify if the enemy team has a lot of crowd control.
Some players also go for Revitalize for the extra healing, but it doesn’t do much in the latter stages of the game when the enemy has already built up anti-healing items such as Necklace of Durance and Sea Halberd.
It’s highly recommended to opt for the Support emblem. It not only enhances your healing abilities, but also provides valuable benefits such as increased cooldown reduction and movement speed.
Regarding talents, consider selecting Agility to bolster your movement speed, which can aid in both positioning and evading threats.
Additionally, Tenacity is a wise choice for the added survivability it offers when your health is low, allowing you to stay in the fight longer and continue supporting your team effectively.
For your core talent, prioritize Focusing Mark.
This talent ensures that enemies hit by your skills will take increased damage from your allies. This synergizes perfectly with Rafaela’s Light of Retribution, and can hit multiple foes simultaneously for the debuff.
To enhance Rafaela’s mana regeneration during the early to mid-game, it’s crucial to prioritize acquiring Enchanted Talisman.
Additionally, her offensive capabilities can be amplified by equipping Thunder Belt or Ice Queen Wand, both of which complement the slow effect of her Light of Retribution skill.
Build according to the enemy team composition once you’ve built at least two of the items listed above. If the team relies heavily on physical damage, prioritize items like Antique Cuirass and Blade Armor.
Alternatively, if the enemy poses a more significant magical threat, opt for defensive items such as Athena’s Shield, Radiant Armor, or Oracle
Best build for Rafaela in Mobile Legends
Start the game by selecting Light of Retribution at level one, but subsequently, prioritize Holy Healing. Upgrade Holy Baptism whenever it’s available.
In the event that you’re playing Rafaela in the midlane, prioritize maxing out Light of Retribution first.
In the first five minutes of the match, accompany your jungler and frequently use Light of Retribution near bushes to avoid an enemy jungle invasion.
Once you reach level four, shift your focus toward ganking lanes. Use Holy Healing for increased movement speed and Light of Retribution to stun foes in a straight line.
Getting up close is essential as the ultimate ability has a slow animation and can be easily dodged.
