Aldous is the loyal guard of the Mino’s Labyrinth, his dedication turned him into what we know as Aldous now. His vast change due to the collision of the powers of light and dark has turned him into one of the favorite heroes in the game. He is Mobile Legends' very own one-punch man, decimating his enemies in a single hit. Give him a flicker spell to make him more effective as an assassin.

Aldous has been a common pick among players because of his very different and niche playstyle, he plays defensively in the early game, getting as many stacks as he can and he plays aggressively in the late game for the kills. His ultimate ensures that no one is safe from his wrath and that everyone on the map should look out if they don't want to get taken out in an instant.

Aldous’ Strengths:

• High burst damage
• High map awareness through ultimate
• Ultimate has no range boundary
• High late-game scaling
• Has CC immunity
• Efficient in farming and gold accumulation
• Can easily get stacks with ultimate

Aldous’ Weaknesses:

• Stack reliant hero
• High mana usage in early game
• Requires his ultimate for high-damage
• Weak in the early game
• CC is vulnerable when skill 2 is in cooldown
• Cannot continuously deal damage

3. Tanky/Burst Build

Designed to make him durable while still packing a solid punch, this build relies on keeping Aldous alive while he collects his stacks for his late-game power spike. The kit mostly uses defense items to let Aldous safely roam around the map to build his soul stack while equipping the Blade of Heptaseas to allow him to burst down enemies that try to block his path.

The build gives Aldous some space, especially in the early game where his laning opponent might try to take advantage of his stack requirement and aggressively dominate the lane.

Use this build if:

• Do you prefer late-game dominance
• Want to maximize Aldous’ mechanics
• Want high survivability and re-engagement capacity
• Want durability in team fights

Use this against aggressive learners that are prone to bullying Aldous in the early game, this can be Dyrroth, Freya, Hilda, and Phoveous who will do their best to take down Aldous before he gets his stacks. 

Choose his skills as follows:
Skill 1 allows fast clearing lanes and easy soul collection for his stacks while skill 2 lets him make plays or escape his opponents safely with the shield. His ultimate unleashes his full firepower with a chase ability and a heavy punch. Always upgrade Aldous’ ultimate whenever available, that is his biggest power spike.
