It is necessary to master Fighters since they carry the weight of a squad, with the ability to deal and absorb significant damage while switching between positions throughout battle, making them versatile, adaptable and flexible heroes. Now let's have a look at the best fighters that wreck hard; the top five are among the most prominent fighters right now.

10. Paquito

It may already be well-known but must be iterated for context. Paquito is inspired by Filipino Boxing Legend, Manny Pacquio, the only eight division world champion in boxing history. Paquito is a relentless boxer with a solid combination of punch strikes and a dash infused within his skills.

His combination of skills is challenging to master and demands timing and positioning. A level of mastery that necessitates patience and time is symbolized by his ability to land his skill combo in perfect synchronicity and rhythm. Paquito can defeat several opponents at once thanks to his strong crowd control and HP regeneration.

What makes Paquito a deadly fighter.

• Skill Combination - His skill combination has crowd control that can inflict damage on multiple targets/opponents in one motion. It requires a certain degree of accuracy since he can easily miss targets while executing his skill combo. In spite of this, it is an extremely effective combination that can easily eliminate targets and objectives.
• Mobility/Speed - While Paquito is equipped with a dash as part of his skill set, his skills also increase his speed in attack and mobility while providing a temporary buff.
• HP Regen - He can regenerate HP on successful damage dealt. This improves his chances in the front-lines where he can absorb damage and effectively counter. Timing is necessary since HP is regenerated only on successful damage.
• Crowd Control - His skill set has the potential to effectively take on more than one hero or targets automatically. Timing is necessary.

9. X-Borg

X-Borg is renowned for his burst in damage and also, despite having a very low HP base, he is still very much durable and able to match up against a wide range of heroes. This is through the use of his Ultimate Skill that grants him the ability to charge in a direction then burst into damage that can impact multiple targets. It is necessary to understand X-Borgs armor when trying to master him.

Since he is half cyborg, his armor is divided into two phases in terms of HP that grant him certain abilities. He cannot launch melee attacks or engage his Ultimate Skill when below 50% HP. Mastering his skill combo and engaging his ultimate skill requires timing and positioning.

What makes X-Borg a deadly fighter.

• Durability - X-Borg is extremely difficult to eliminate, especially in team confrontations, and can withstand significant amounts of damage through his armor. 
• Burst Damage - His Ultimate Skill is extremely lethal since it can charge in a direction and slow down opponents before unleashing impact. X-Borg is a great poke, initiate and gank hero due to this. 
• Versatility - He can take on a wide range of objectives and goals, and is a perfect support hero for his ability to burst into damage and survive the encounter.

Aldous's ability to mark opponents and rocket/charge through the battlefield before crashing into targets makes him an important strategic asset for whatever squad he is a part of where he can easily set the pace and tempo in battle. He has amazing strength, energy and speed where his true damage is realized through stacking power on successful strikes.

Map reading and timing is important when trying to fully utilize Aldous presence. He is a vital support in team confrontations and also has the potential to harass the front-lines as a tank. As a mid to late game hero, it is crucial to learn and understand his stacking ability to reveal his true potential in strength

He is a great jungler but is best paired with the battle spell Inspire, which increases his damage potential.

Through the utilization of his skills, Sun is exceedingly adaptable and versatile. He joins a select group of heroes given that he features four skills. Crowd control is an upside of his cloning ability,  his second skill gives him the ability to blink to designated spots and his third skill deals agonizing damage, especially when summoning doppelgangers.

3. Zilong

Zilong was once the king of late game but that is changing soon. Recent Meta Updates have rolled out adjustments that have rendered him extremely squishy in the late game with the removal and introduction of certain build items.  In spite of these adjustments, he remains to be among the most lethal combatants in ML.

His second skill has an instant cooldown rate upon successful elimination of targets, and also has lock on range. This is his key attack component that deals swift and fatal damage.

2. Dyrroth

Dyrroth was second to Silvanna in life steal but has overtaken her this season in terms of relevance and favorable meta updates. Fun fact, they are also storyline siblings. He is a powerful striker who can aggressively take out targets and also possesses a lethal strike combination that is intimidating and annoying to defend against.

He is relatively easy to learn and master while having the flexibility, speed and potential to clear out jungling and lane objectives in the early game. He is at his best in the mid to late stages of battle when at the peak of his build. Mastering Dyrroth requires understanding of building his rage through successful damage while taking advantage of his life steal.
