Lapu-Lapu is a unique fighter, which has 6 active skills, just like Roger. But what distinguishes him from Roger is that Lapu-Lapu cannot use his skill set quickly because the cooldown of his ultimate skill is longer.
However, all the skills possessed by Lapu-Lapu have great damage, especially if you use them carefully. If you are really good at using this hero, you can connect directly to the skill set he has after using his ultimate.
Well, in this article, Mimin will discuss about Lapu-Lapu. What skills does he have, how to play them, and the advantages and disadvantages he has.
Skill Set
Before we discuss further about Lapu-lapu, we must first know what skills he has. Let’s see the review below.
Passive Skill: Hero’s Faith
Lapu-Lapu will get 1 stack Bravery Blessing after attacking the enemy with basic attack nor skills. After there are 5 stacks, Lapu-lapu will get additional damage, but not critical. Then he will also get shield or shield for 500 to 1200 pts of damage and will increase with level.
Usually pro players will use the ultimate Lapu-lapu skill when the passive is active, or the Bravery Blessing stack is full. If it’s full red. To be active, you have to attack the enemy 5 times, whether it’s with a basic attack or skill.
Skill 1: Justice Blade
Skill 1 Lapu-lapu has two modes, namely regular mode and ultimate mode. In normal mode, Lapu-lapu will use 2 boomerangs. When in ultimate mode, he will use a big wheel.
Light Sword State
Lapu-lapu will attack using his two boomerang blades towards the front. Each will deal damage of 120 (+50% Physical Attack) as physical damage to the enemy it hits when flying and when it returns. Enemies hit by a boomerang more than once will give Bravery Blessing.
Skill 1 is very good for attacking enemies from a distance. Unlike other fighters who have to attack the enemy from close range. But Lapu-lapu doesn’t need to do that. This skill is really useful for laning in the early game.
Heavy Sword State
Lapu-lapu will throw a large wheel that flies forward and deals 350 (+150% Physical Attack) damage as physical damage and can slow down enemies hit by this big wheel.
The damage given by this ultimate mode 1 skill really hurts guys. Moreover, this skill has a long range, just like the usual 1 mode skill. Thus, this skill can penetrate directly to the enemy’s back line during war. Marksman or mage can be directly hit with this skill.
Skill 2: Brave Stance
Same skill 1, skill 2 Lapu-lapu also has two modes. Basically, Lapu-lapu’s 2nd skill is a dash skill while dealing damage to enemies that hit it.
Light Sword State
Lapu-lapu will lunge in the direction with his two boomerangs and deal damage to the enemy with the formula 100 (+ 50% Physical Attack) as Physical Damage. Lapu-lapu’s movement speed will increase for a while when it hits the enemy.
Heavy Sword State
Lapu-lapu will lunge forward using his large sword and will deal damage to enemies affected by this skill. The damage formula for this skill is 250(+50% Physical Attack) as Physical Attack.
Ultimate Skill: Chieftain’s Rage
This skill is really dangerous which will make Lapu-lapu brutal. This skill will give crowd control effect to the enemy and have huge damage.
Light Sword State
Lapu-lapu will combine his 2 boomerangs into one and slash forward. The damage formula for this skill is 400 (+ 200% Physical Attack) as physical damage. This skill will give a stun effect for 0.8 seconds. After that, he will enter Heavy Sword mode for 15 seconds and his physical and magical defense will increase by 30 for 8 seconds.
Heavy Sword State
Passive: when in this mode, Lapu-lapu’s normal damage will increase by 20%
Active: rotates the weapon and will give physical damage to nearby enemies. The damage formula for this skill is 600 (+ 200% Physical Attack).
Gameplay
After we know all the skills, now we will move on to the gameplay of Lapu-lapu. What’s the gameplay like? Let’s see the discussion below.
Early Games
|
Mobile Legends Lapu-lapu Gameplay |
Lapu-lapu is a fighter who can do farming safely. He can do damage from a distance, so it’s very advantageous early in the game. He can laning easily with skill 1. This skill can also make him poke enemies easily.
At this stage, play it safe first. Farm first so you can get gold and exp as quickly as possible. In this phase, you have to quickly reach level 4 so you can play aggressively using your ultimate skill.
Mid Game

In this phase, you should have reached level 4. Try to keep farming until it becomes your core item. Help your friends who are on other lanes if possible. If an unexpected team fight occurs, help and use all your skills.
After your core items are finished, also try to play quite aggressively because in this phase the damage from Lapu-lapu is quite large to repulse enemy carry heroes quickly. Gank lane with your friends and make enemies difficult to farm.
Late Game

In this phase, Lapu-lapu can already be a good initiator to lead the attack. But try the tank first for initiation. When using his ultimate skill, Lapu-lapu’s armor and magic res will increase, especially when combined with defense items. Remember, target the enemy carry heroes first, such as marksman and mage.
Strengths and weaknesses
Lapu-lapu is a very strong fighter in the early game because it has 6 skills and can do massive burst damage because it is an area. He is indeed very good against any hero because he has good attack, defense and movement speed.
But the weakness is that it can’t provide high DPS (damage per second) like other fighter heroes like Roger in the late game phase. This hero is very dependent on skill, so it is not recommended to fight in the late game.
Advantages
Lapu-lapu is indeed very strong in the early game compared to other fighter heroes. Because he really relies on skills, such as mages and assassins. Therefore, he will dominate in the early game. Meanwhile, heroes who rely on basic attacks will usually be really dangerous in the late game.
That’s why try to play fast games if you play Lapu-lapu. Play aggressively in the early game, push towers and laning as low as possible.
Skill 1 possessed by Lapu-lapu has a fairly far reach when he uses two boomerangs (Twin Blade State) or uses one sword (Heavy Sword State). Therefore, the gameplay of Lapu-lapu is similar to Saber who plays safe from a distance while paying off the enemy’s blood.
If the enemy’s blood is dying, or there is a chance, attack the enemy with the ultimate and finish off the opponent as soon as possible.
All the skills possessed by Lapu-lapu are area or mass, so they are very good for team fights or war. In addition, he also has a good skill mechanism so he can sneak and escape easily in all situations with his second skill.
Lapu-lapu’s passive skill will give him a shield which of course is very useful for engange or close combat when teamfight. Moreover, we can trigger this passive skill only with spam skills or basic attacks 5 times to enemies or jungle monsters.
So, take advantage of this passive shield when the time is right. When entering the war, try if you have hit the enemy 5 times so you can get a shield.
Weakness
- Very Vulnerable In Late Game
Lapu-lapu is indeed very strong in the early game, but will become weak when the game enters the late game phase. Why? Because when he uses the skill there will be a delay and cooldown which makes him very vulnerable to being killed.

Lapu-lapu vs Alucard |
In the early game, it won’t be a problem because the damage from the enemy is still small, but if you enter the late game, all the marksman heroes and enemy fighters are already very strong. They can even finish off Lapu-lapu with just a few hits.
Meanwhile, Lapu-lapu’s basic attack is very slow and does not burst, the damage is not as big as other heroes. So, he is less effective if the game has entered the late game phase.
Although Lapu-lapu’s own role is a fighter, he is very weak against other fighters with high DPS abilities such as Zilong, Alucard and Roger. In the mid to late game, their damage is really high.
Lapu-lapu will be really strong against other fighter heroes if they are superior in level and gold, and use ultimate mode. So, you have to be careful when fighting full burst damage fighters. Use the enemy’s poke technique using skill 1 and when our HP is superior or more, it’s okay for you to fight.
The main weakness of this Lapu-lapu is that it relies heavily on skills, its basic attack is really very weak. So we have to use build cooldown reduction and play like an assassin rather than a fighter.
So, the timing of the use of skills will determine victory. This means that your skills must be qualified to be able to maximize the potential of this hero.
