How to Play as Pharsa in Mobile Legends: Bang Bang

Know other alternatives to Pharsa. Pharsa is usually targeted at being a Meta Hero, so you need a quick alternative to her damage (if possible). Try picking Lylia, Aurora, and Harley for her similar style of poking an enemy and leading team fights, or try picking Kadita, Odette, Vale, Valir, and Yve to give a burst of damage similar to her ult.

Take note of her Passive (Spiritual Unity). Her passive will let Verri rest for a few seconds, and when ready - Verri will attack the enemy hero when Pharsa attacks via her basic attack or skill. ^[1] This passive can be helpful if you have an ally with you since the slow effect following the basic attack can let others attack the enemy from behind. Also, if you ever need to check if any enemy is in the bushes, you can use her skills and Verri can attack the supposed ganker.

Use her 1st Skill (Curse Of Crow). This skill will let her cast a spell in a selected area while dealing magic damage and can mark enemy heroes for four seconds. If hit again with Pharsa's skills or basic attack, the enemy will be stunned for one second. ^[2] Use Curse Of Crow when pairing it in with her ultimate. The CC advantage from her first skill will help kill enemies easily.

Manage the 2nd Skill (Energy Impact). Pharsa will release a wave of magic energy in a line and deal magic damage with it, too. ^[3] While not an impressive skill at first, using it when clearing minion lanes can help out. ^[4] Energy Impact can also be useful to make it the final blow for enemy heroes if her ultimate doesn't kill an enemy hero.

Make usage of her Ult (Feathered Air Strike). This ult will make Pharsa fly mid-air and will launch air raids into a target area up to four times within an eight-second limit. ^[5] Feathered Air Strike should be an important skill to use for Pharsa during team-fights due to its burst damage. Also, the ult can ensure a kill if Pharsa's other skills are used.

• If you want to target an enemy hero while using her ult, just tap on the ult skill icon multiple times to target the enemy right away. As an alternative, you can hold the ult skill icon and adjust where to hit the ult.
• Be careful about distancing yourself and the enemy. If you go start Feathered Air Strike too far, enemies can quickly retreat until the ultimate is complete. However, you can move a bit near the enemy to hit them, but not to get attacked right away when the ult is in motion. ^[6]
• Since her cooldown of the ultimate can take some time in the early levels, only use Feathered Air Strike when appropriate (when you can hit the enemy hero completely).

Know her Special Skill (Wings by Wings). Pharsa will turn into Verri and will increase her movement speed. She will continue to fly until she is hit by a crowd-control effect, an attack is launched, or when the duration runs out. ^[7] You can use Wings by Wings when you need to retreat quickly or roam the map to attack enemy heroes. Either way, this skill should help Pharsa as a Meta hero alongside her other skills, unless if the majority of the enemy heroes carry the Arrival battle spell. ^[8]

Choose her equipment. To help out increase her burst damage, start her equipment with Arcane Boots to increase her magic penetration, and then add Lightning Truncheon, Holy Crystal, and Ice Queen Wand to help improve her magic damage. As alternatives, also add in Clock of Destiny, Necklace of Durance, Blood Wings, or Genius Wand if needed. ^[9]

• For her battle spell, you have a myriad of selections. Using Flameshot could help to continue damaging enemy heroes, or applying Flicker can help her ultimate range if enemies escape. If you think enemy heroes will be an issue in later parts of the game, choose Sprint or Purify. ^[10]

Select the emblem. While this may be obvious, using the Mage emblem can help Pharsa. Upgrading her talents is decidable via play-style/player choice, but you should focus on selecting Agility in the first row. For the second row, you can either select Observation and Catastrophe. For the Talent, you can also decide on Mystery Shop (to purchase equipment faster for Pharsa) or Impure Rage (to quickly restore mana and make extra magic damage to enemy heroes). ^[11]

• While Magic Worship is another great choice, this talent is overkill for Pharsa since her skills can quickly make burst damage to squishy enemy heroes.
