Relax, because there is a way to increase the magic resist of the Mobile Legends (ML) hero. For some heroes, such as sidelaners and tankers, it is usually mandatory to understand the opponent’s hero comp. Yes, if many use hero mages, of course, always prepare build items to counter them later.

Magic resist is the “armor” magic here. So if you want to be thicker and swallow a lot of magic damage, you can do the following methods. With high magic resist, there is no need to be afraid to fight heroes with high magic.
