Granger is a marksman like no other. Released in April 2019, he has been very popular since his launch. Granger doesn’t use mana nor has an energy bar, is extremely effective in the early game, and doesn’t fall behind in damage in the late game too. His skill sets can make way for many outplays and can change from defense to offense in a matter of seconds. Unlike most marksmen, Granger doesn’t rely on attack speed; pure attack damage works best. Granger can be played in the Gold Lane or can even jungle; he can dominate the game either way. In this Mobile Legends Granger guide, we will be taking a look at his passive ability, skill sets, recommended builds, and emblem configuration.

Skill analysis
Granger is a hero with the common four skill sets of one passive and three actives. In this Granger 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 – Caprice
Granger fills up his gun with 6 bullets at a time, and the sixth bullet deals critical damage. Granger’s basic attacks deal 50 (110%Total Physical ATK) Physical Damage, and he gains only 50% attack speed from Items and Emblems.
Skill 1 – Rhapsody
Granger fully reloads his gun and shoots 6 bullets in the aimed direction. Each bullet deals 45 (+70% Total Physical ATK) Physical Damage to enemies. This skill receives a 2-seconds cooldown at max level.
Skill 2 – Rondo
Granger dashes towards any aimed direction and his next two basic attacks shot within 5 seconds will deal 10% extra damage. Each time Skill 1- Rhapsody successfully hits an enemy hero, Rondo receives a 0.5-second cooldown.
Skill 3 – Death Sonata
Granger transforms his violin into a canon and fills it with all bullets. He then shoots two Super Bullets towards an aimed direction, and the last bullet that deals Critical Damage like his Basic Attacks. These Super Bullets explode upon hitting the first enemy hero, dealing 80 (+70% Total Physical ATK) +12% of the enemy’s lost HP Physical Damage to enemies nearby and slows enemies by 80%. Granger can also roll towards the joystick’s direction. This skill can be cast rapidly if next to a wall.
Skill-up method for Granger
Upgrade Skill 1 and prioritize maxing it first, for it is his main source of damage. Upgrade Skill 2 next and max Skill 3 last.

Mobile Legends Granger Gameplay Tips
Granger is one of the strongest early game marksmen. However, a player must need a good understanding of the map to bring the best out of any hero. According to his gameplay, we can break it down into three phases. Our Mobile Legends Granger guide includes the perfect game plan for the early, mid, and late game.
Early Game
If the player decides to go to gold lane, pushing the advantage of Granger’s Skill 1’s raw damage and harassing the enemies is very important. From level 4 onwards, rotating to other lanes and assisting the team in team fights is recommended, for it will allow the team to gain a huge advantage over the enemies. Pushing turrets in your lane should be a priority.
Mid Game
In mid-game, make sure to stay near your team and assist them in team fights. Always have skill 2 ready so that you can escape any risky situation. Stay at a safe distance from the enemies at all times. Keep farming and build your core items as soon as possible.
Late Game
In the late game, Granger’s skills 1 and 2 can almost be spammed. Take advantage of their low cooldown and keep harassing the enemies from a distance. From mid to late game, group up as a team and keep pressuring the enemies. Dodge enemy stuns and disables, and if you think that your team is not favorable in any fight, do not force it; retreat and wait for a better opportunity.
Playing as a Jungler
If Granger is played as the jungler, starting with the red buff camp is suggested, as it will enhance his Physical Attack. Then head over to the blue buff camp and on the way clear the mid-lane minion wave, so that the player can reach level 4 faster. After unlocking Granger’s ultimate, proceed to the top lane to assist your teammate and potentially achieve the First Blood.
Playing as a Carry
As the carry, the enemies will always try to focus you down first, which is why positioning is very important. Roam around the map with your tank and support and gank the enemy sidelaners. Take objectives like turtles and turrets, and try to take both the buffs as soon as they spawn. Do not put yourself at any form of risk, for if you die, your team will lack a lot of damage.
Additionally you can perform certain Skill Combos with Granger including,
Skill 2 + Skill 1 + Skill 2 + Skill 1 + Ultimate + Skill 2
This skill combo should melt down the Hp’s of even tanks, provided Granger is well fed for the moment.
Final thoughts
Granger is an excellent marksman to snowball the enemies. Positioning is extremely important when playing him. Granger can spam his skills with enough cooldown reduction items and can constantly harass the enemies. An excellent pick for rank games, Granger is definitely a good pick for the current meta.
