Capture that elusive magician.
Revision as of May 29, 11:11 a.m. (GMT+8): Enhanced relevance.
Harley is a top-notch mage/assassin hero in Mobile Legends: Bang Bang. His spells quickly refresh, allowing him to make a clean escape after deadly attacks.
With his Space Escape, he can blink in, rapidly bring down his opponent utilizing Deadly Magic and Poker Trick, and then retreat unharmed to his magic hat.

Beyond that, his passive ability, Magic Master, empowers his basic attacks and abilities to decrease his enemy’s magic defense, increase his attack speed, and enhance his typical assaults to deal magic damage.
Regardless, you can neutralize the Mage Genius’ lethal combination and surprise him using these heroes.
Presenting potent hero counters to Harley in MLBB
Lolita

Lolita’s Guardian’s Reflection skill, makes her an effective choice against Harley. This ability allows her to reflect all ranged basic attacks and ability projectiles towards the direction of her shield. As all of Harley’s spells are projectiles, Guardian’s Reflection acts as the optimal foil to him.
Even if Harley strikes you with his Deadly Magic as Lolita, his reliance on Poker Trick and auto attacks to make it lethal goes in vain.

You can further disrupt his combination, providing your allies enough time to burst him down by using the stun from Power Charge.
Opt for Flicker as your battle spell for additional pursuit abilities on top of your first skill. As the team’s tank, construct Radiant Armor or Athena’s Shield for magical defense.
Hayabusa
Hayabusa not only has the capacity to evade Harley’s skills but also to catch up and take him down.

When Deadly Magic strikes, use the Ougi: Shadow Kill to avoid any further damage from the Poker Trick while inflicting harm on him.
Even if he executes a Space Escape, you can keep hitting him with Shadow Kill, provided there are no other adversaries in the vicinity.

You can utilize Ninjutsu: Quad Shadow to pursue him if he tries to run away with his magic hat. When it comes to itemization, consider purchasing Radiant Armor if his magical DPS needs to be mitigated.
Chou
Chou is another excellent counter who can dodge Harley’s skills and eliminate him simultaneously.
Employ Shunpo or Jeet Kune Do to move out of the way when he launches his Deadly Magic-Poker Trick combo.

Another approach is to shorten it by hurrying forward with Shunpo or blinking with Flicker, then trigger The Way of Dragon. This strategy has the potential to eliminate him if you build aggressively.
If you’re handling Chou as a roaming-tank, you can still employ the same strategies to dodge his abilities. In this capacity, your goal should be to use The Way of Dragon to push him towards your allies for a swift takedown.
