Brody, the Lone Star, is a Marksman hero in Mobile Legends. He is one of the most popular marksman in the current META. He is a unique hero with a relatively slow attack speed, but his high damage output and mobility more than compensate for that. Brody is a powerful hero in the early game, and his damage only increases as the game goes on. Brody is a Marksman hero who excels at dealing high damage to single targets. His abilities all have relatively low cooldowns, which allows him to harass and poke enemies constantly. Brody is also a very mobile hero, thanks to his second skill. In this Mobile Legends guide, we will take a look at the best emblem, spells, and builds, including tips and tricks to dominate every game with Brody.

Skill Analysis
Brody is a hero with the common four skill sets of one passive and three actives. In this Brody guide, let’s see what are his abilities in Mobile Legends, and when you can use which skill to get the best out of him.
Passive – Abyss Corrosion (Buff)
With his Basic Attacks resonated with the Abyss Power within his body, Brody is able to move while winding up his Basic Attack Basic Attacks (which will be interrupted when casting skills), at the cost of having longer Basic Attack Animation and lower Attack Speed. Each Basic Attack deals (+45 × Hero Level) (+140% Total Physical Attack) Physical Damage (of which the damage scaling with level cannot be critical), increases Movement Speed by 30% (which will decay rapidly in 1.2 seconds), and inflicts 1 stack of Abyss Mark on the enemy, capped at 4 stacks. [Marks applied last for 8 seconds.]Each stack of Abyss Mark increases Brody’s damage against the target by 5% and his Movement Speed by 5%.
Skill 1 – Abyss Impact (AoE, Slow)
Brody launches a shock wave in the designated direction, dealing 150–550 (+170% Total Physical Attack) Physical Damage, slowing the enemies by 30% for 1.2 seconds, and applying 1 stack of Abyss Mark.
As the shock wave travels, for each enemy it hits, it deals an extra 10% damage, inflicts extra 5% slow effect, and applies an additional stack of Abyss Mark, capped at 130% damage, 45% slow effect, and 4 stacks. This skill deals only 80%-100% damage to minions.
Skill 2 – Corrosive Strike (CC, Blink)
Brody dashes to an enemy, dealing 200–350 (+70% Total Physical Attack) Physical Damage to the target, stunning the target for 0.8 seconds, and inflicting 1 stack of Abyss Mark on the target. Upon hitting the target, he is able to move one more time in the movement direction, gaining 45% Movement Speed that will decay rapidly in 1.2 seconds.
Skill 3 – Torn-Apart Memory (Burst, AoE)
Brody locks on all the targets within 8 yard(s), dealing 340–580 (+180% Extra Physical Attack) Physical Damage to them. If the target has an Abyss Mark, all Abyss Marks will be reset, dealing 136–232 (+72% Extra Physical Attack) (+target’s 4%–6% Lost HP) Physical Damage for each stack the target has.
Skill Up Methods for Brody
Unlock skill 1 first and upgrade it to the max level, upgrade skill 2 accordingly, and Ultimate whenever available. His first skill is his main damage source.
Best Emblem Set and Spells for Brody in Mobile Legends
Emblem Set
Brody has massive damage output so you can use custom Assassin Emblem on him to amplify his basic attack damage. This will also help him to handle the early game situation. Now put your points like this
- Agility (+3)
- Invasion (+3)
- Killing Spree (+1)
Other than the Assassin Emblem you can also use the Marksman Emblem. You can spend all your talent points on the Critical damage part in order to deal quality of burst damage. Instead of Electro Flash, you can use Weapon Master which will increase your attack speed in the late phase.
- Fatal (+3)
- Doom (+3)
- Electro Flash (+1)
Battle Spells
The only spell we recommend is Flicker. He is a very fragile hero so flicker will definitely help him out to escape from any unwanted situations. One thing to be clear that without Skill 2 Brody does not have any escape skill, so if the enemy team picks too many CC heroes you can use Purify instead of Flicker.
Best Builds for Brody in Mobile Legends
Here we can use two types of build on Brody. In the case of both builds, we can clearly see that Berserker’s Fury & Blade of Despair are the core items for him. Then you can build Hass Claw or Endless according to the situation. Lastly, you can buy Immortality to gain an extra life on the battlefield. Build Physical type defense if the enemy team has too many physical DPS heroes. A malefic Roar is also a good option if the enemy team has tanky heroes.
- Magic Shoes (710 golds)
- Berserker’s Fury (2350 golds)
- Blade of Despair (3010 golds)
- Endless Battle (2470 golds)
- Scarlet Phantom (2020 golds)
- Queen’s Wings (2250 golds)
Mobile Legends Brody Gameplay Tips
The new hero Brody is fully based upon the new lane mechanism. You do not have Retribution as a spell, so you can not buy jungle items. In order to play him perfectly, you must have to choose your lane wisely and focus on buying core items. Our Mobile Legends Brody guide includes the perfect game plan for the early, mid, and late game in the game. However, a player must need a good understanding of the map to bring the best out of any hero.
Early Game
At level one unlock your skill 1 and go to Gold lane. While laning try to hit enemies through the minion wave with your first skill. If you did this correctly you can instantly stack 4 abyss marks which will increase Brody’s damage output.
Do not chase for kills, Brody can poke enemy very often so use it to make them recall and in that meantime, you will get a free gold advantage. As an offlaner, you have to push turret whenever you got the chance. Use your skills on Jungle monsters and minions to farm faster.
Mid Game
Don’t fall behind in the economy. Your main damage will come from your build so try to complete it and focus on the farm. Do not initiate unnecessary fights, instead of that do a quick rotation in mid lane in order to do a successful gank with your mage.
Use your skill 2 on target to quickly change your position while roaming or attacking. In this period don’t play too much aggressively.
Late Game
In this phase, Brody will shine the most. Try to stay with your tank. Follow your minimap before ganking. Do not ever use your ultimate first, try to hit it when enemies are low on HP.
Skill 1 + Basic Attack + Skill 2 + Basic Attack + Skill 3
It will deal more damage to them at that moment. Try to use lock-on mode on dot life enemies and use your Ultimate to secure kills. If you want the quality to sustain, then always build a Life-steal item.
Final Thoughts
This newly launched hero Brody is good to play and you can easily push rank with him but high Burst damage type heroes are bad for Brody, so do not initiate 1v1 situation with those heroes. Try to end the game as soon as possible without stretching it unnecessarily. Don’t build attack speed items on him instead of that make lifesteal items.
