If you’ve been playing Mobile Legends for a while now, you must have
come across with a certain word that is present in Mobile Legends Heroes
and certain items: Spell Vamp. So what is Spell Vamp and what does it
do?
Spell Vamp is a type of spell damage that is present
in Abilities that absorbs enemy health. The word “Vamp” was derived from
the word Vampirism and just like a vampire that sucks blood for him/her to become stronger, the same goes to Heroes with Spell Vamp.
The
word itself has been present since the birth of the first DotA in 2005
and, years later, became more popularized in League of Legends and DotA
2. It is always synonymous to heroes and champions, particularly Mages
and ability power-focused Assasins
as well as items that scale the absorption more or help particular
characters with no Spell Vamp acquire the type of spell damage.
In other words, it’s similar to lifesteal but instead of absorbing
health through auto-attacks, you get it from your spells. Ability Power
(AP) comes hand in hand with Spell Vamp.
While some heroes
in ML already carry spell vamp passively, like Alice being the best
example, players can increase the usefulness of the perk by buying items
that harness the power of Spell Vamp. For ML, the item is meant for Mages
however, experienced players have exploited the numbers and scaling by
buying Spell Vamp items for Fighters like Balmond and Bane thanks to
their passives and spells.
When a Spell Vamp-based hero
gets fed, he/she can charge in the enemy solo, spamming Abilities here
and there while absorbing the enemies’ health, making him/her
unstoppable like a bloodthirsty vampire who becomes immune due to its
insatiable cravings for blood.
Not every hero can benefit
from Spell Vamp items since some of their abilities either deal small
damage or rather a support spell for the teammates. A controversy keeps
revolving around the community saying the Spell Vamp items are useful
for all heroes but trust us, only a few select heroes really benefit
from that.
