Miya is one of the most popular marksman played in Mobile Legends: Bang Bang at all ranks.
The Moonlight Archer’s abilities featuring attack speed and multi-shot buffs, a decent crowd control, and an ultimate that can be used to escape or initiate make her a favorite among gold lane players.
There’s a big chance you will encounter her in your ranked games every now and then. Luckily, there are many counters against her and here are the best ones we’re picked out.
Best counters to Miya in Mobile Legends
Saber
As an assassin hero, Saber is strong against squishy marksmen heroes. The Wandering Sword has a skill combo that can shut down anyone instantly.
If you’re playing jungle Saber, gank Miya as soon as you hit level four. Communicate with your gold laner so you can take her down quickly. Having a Blade of Heptaseas and Hunter Strike, or even better, Blade of Despair, and you’ll be able to solo kill her.
When ganking the Moonlight Archer, hide in a bush and make sure to execute your key skill combo. Cast Orbiting Swords (1st skill) first then use Charge (2nd skill) to close the gap and finish her off with the Triple Sweep (ultimate).
Even if she uses her Hidden Moonlight ultimate, which removes the Triple Sweep’s airborne effect, the damage will still pierce through.
Lesley
Lesley is a solid counter to Miya not just in the laning stage but also in the latter parts of the game. The abilities of the reworked Deadly Sniper are simply more effective.
Poke her with the enhanced basic attack from the Master of Camouflage (1st skill) and Lethal Shot (passive) to force her out of the lane.
Use Tactical Grenade (2nd skill) if you get immobilized by Arrow of Eclipse (2nd skill). You can use Ultimate Snipe for poking or finishing off Miya when she has low HP. Even if she casts Hidden Moonlight to escape, the bullets will still hit her.
If the game goes late, Lesley still holds the advantage due to her sheer damage output, which has the potential to kill a squishy hero in two hits. Find the right timing to use Master of Camouflage and lock on the Moonlight Archer. Even if she bought Wind of Nature, you can still gun her down thanks to the true damage from Lethal Shot.
Kaja
Kaja can be considered as the strongest counter to Miya due to his ultimate ability, Divine Judgment. Its suppress effect can’t be removed by Miya’s ultimate. Its 1.5-second duration is enough to take the marksman down. If you’re playing a roaming Kaja, make sure to bring along an ally who provides burst damage.
Kaja’s Ring of Order (1st skill) and Lightning Bomb (2nd skill) can also paralyze Miya even in her conceal state, slowing her, which helps you chase her down. Use the Sprint battle spell to catch Miya or keep up with her when she uses her ultimate.
A magic build type Kaja with items such as Calamity Reaper, Genius Wand, and Holy Crystal will up your chances of solo-killing her.
