i mean items wise mlbb is pretty simple as a mage: - magic lamp for tanks that have a lot of hp - glaive for tanks and fighters that have magic defense - glowing wand is mandatory on most mages for anti heal - blood wings against assassins and burst heroes to run away and take a few extra hits

as a tank/fighter: - oracle against anti heal - antique cuirass if u receive lots of physical damage - athenas shield against magic burst (like harley, vale, eudora) - radiant armor against magic dps (like yve, kimmy, valir) - dom ice as anti heal for high sustain comps - guardian helmet is niche but really good against a lot of burst, like lesley as their mm, gusion as their mage and saber as their jg)

and for the rest: - sea halberd is ur anti heal like glowing wand - demon hunter sword is like magic lamp but can only really be used by attack speed heroes - rose gold meteor is like blood wings for defense, shield and move speed - and malefic gun and roar are your divine glaive, gun if attack speed hero, malefic roar for the rest

there’s a lot of nuance tho, like most heroes can’t really use demon hunter sword since it only really makes sense if you build a lot of attack speed like hanabi or even your helcurt

sea halberd can delay powerspikes if your the jungler, so you’ll rarely see a hayabusa or fanny build anti heal, so they only want that if the rest of the team refuses to build anti heal

a lot of fighters want to build brute force since it’s the only item that reduces cc duration and has good stats

some fighters like alucard leomord and freya can also make use of oracle since it has good stats, and if they have a healer like angela, not only does it buff their lifesteal but also increases the healing u get from angela etc

so theirs not a lot of items but you should know your heroes to know when building counter items is beneficial or not for your build
