V - Tips for Playing Jawhead in Mobile Legends Bang Bang
Jawhead is a durable hero, played in the Fighter or secondary Tank position in the mid lane. When choosing Jawhead, you must decide his role as either a Fighter or Tank depending on your team composition. Following Jawhead's playstyle, we can divide it into three stages as follows:
1. Early Game Phase
As a Fighter, if you pick Jawhead, you need to go for the Exp lane and hold it, pushing it until your Carry receives core items for kills. Don't give the opponent any chance to push any lane. Prioritize Endless Battle as your first item because it provides mana, physical damage, and CD reduction all at once.
As a Tank hero, initially, you should buy Wooden Mask to help your Carry farm faster in the early stages of the battle. Buy boots based on the opponent's damage dealer and use skill combo: 2-1-2-4.
2. Mid Game Phase
In the mid-game phase, you assist your Carry in obtaining the Turtle Buff and swiftly move to the mid or bottom lane with your team. Try to lurk in the bushes to gank the opponent's damage dealer and reduce their farming rate. But don't forget to push the lane.
Pressuring the turret makes the enemy focus more on your lane than your Carry. Build up a sustained attack so that Jawhead can initiate team fights. Always try to throw enemy heroes into your turret or toss minions onto enemies to stun them. You can even use your second skill to save allies.
3. Late Game Phase
In this phase, Jawhead shines the brightest because he is fully equipped. Then, try to attack the enemy's Carry as much as possible. If you're playing as a Fighter in your team, choose a max sustain equipment set, and if you're playing as a Tank, use a max sustain equipment set. You can use skill combo as follows: 3-1-2.
- Jawhead's potential counters: Gusion, Fanny, Natalia, Odette, and Cyclops.
- Heroes countered by Jawhead: Martis, Kaja, Grock, Sun, Argus.
Jawhead has become quite popular recently due to its unique playstyle. If you enjoy Tank heroes but want to deal significant damage, don't hesitate to pick Jawhead and climb ranks in the new season.
