Hero Counter Akai ML For September 2022, Don't Move!

When the meta tank jungle appeared a few months ago, Akai instantly a priority choice in ranked and competitive play. However, you can use Akai's counter hero to beat him.

Besides a recent revamp that increased his offensive abilities, he's also the answer to nimble assassin heroes thanks to his impactful ultimate, Heavy Spin.

But like all heroes in the Land of Dawn, everyone has a weakness. Here are Akai's hero counter recommendations for September 2022 in Mobile Legends: Bang Bang.

List of Hero Counter Akai September 2022

For those of you who are confused about defeating this annoying Panda hero, you can use the VCGamers version of Akai's hero counter recommendations below.

Baxia

Baxia is a tank hero who has recently become popular because of the meta jungle tank. As well as having one of the highest base defense stats in the game, he also has one of the best mobility skills in Baxia-Shield Unity.

What makes him perfect against him is that Baxia is hard to beat. As soon as the Panda Warrior enters battle with Headbutt and Heavy Spin, Baxia can activate Tortoise's Puissance to increase his movement speed while dealing damage and reducing the movement speed of enemies caught in the poison trail he leaves behind.

When setting up a team fight with Baxia, make sure to have at least one damage dealer following you, as Baxia doesn't have enough damage to kill another tank hero in a 1v1 fight.

Claude

Claude is one of the most difficult marksman heroes to kill in the game because of his Battle Image Mirror skill, which allows him to quickly jump from one area to another twice, similar to the battle spell Flicker but with a cooldown of 10 seconds.

Despite having a slow farming speed at the start of the game, he can easily handle tanks once you're the most important item to have. If you fight Akai, get the battle spell Purify if he catches you with Heavy Spin.

After you activate Purify, get out of Heavy Spin range with the Battle Image Mirror. When Akai stops spinning, activate Battle Mirror Image again to return to its original position with your ultimate, Blazing Duet.

Valir

The skill set of hero mage Valir is Akai's perfect counter hero. Since Akai only has one mobility skill, Valir can spam Burst Fireballs to slow him down and deal constant damage. If the Panda Warrior gets too close in the fight, he can use Searing Torrent to knock him back.

Ultimate Valir, Vengeance Flame also acts like the battle spell Purify, as it removes all crowd control effects thrown at it.
