Mobile Legends Diggie Gameplay Tips
Diggie is actually a popular hero, especially in the previous seasons due to the emergence of Diggie feeder META. Even after that, Diggie still has its popularity as support or commonly as a roamer. 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 Diggie guide includes the perfect game plan for the early, mid, and late game.
Early Game
In the early game, unlock its first skill immediately and start spamming its auto alarm bomb in the bush, or to minions. Keep farming until you reach level 4 so you can use Diggie’s skill combos. Once you unlock your ultimate, start roaming to either Exp or gold lane accordingly to help them. However, keep an eye on your core, or your teammate that might be a target for enemies.
Always be aggressive with Diggie during the early game. You have to utilize Diggie’s passive during the early game by disturb’s the enemy’s core farming pattern or poking their midlaner and roamer without being afraid to die in the early game since the cooldown will be short and you can still disturb the enemies with Diggie’s egg presence.
Mid Game
In the Mid game, you have to keep spamming the auto alarm bombs, but this time you can put them in the nearby enemy bush in order to give a surprise attack, or you can try your luck to steal an enemy buff or jungle. Spam Diggie’s Auto Alarm Bomb wherever you want. Do not wait for its auto alarm bomb cooldown to its third bomb. Spam the bomb immediately especially to the bush in order to detect the presence of Hiding enemies or to disturb recalling enemies.
Late Game
In the late game, you just have to stay by your midlaner side, or standby in a safe position until the war, in case your teammate will need your time journey to negate enemies’ crowd control, and also your reverse time to catch escaping enemies.
Also, remember to only use the Time Journey in the adequate time. Use reverse Time to catch escaping enemies. This is very important especially to catch enemies core or escaping enemies. With reverse time, they will pull back into the time zone and your teammate will follow up easily with their skills.
Only use Time Journey inadequate time. Diggie’s ultimate is your teammate’s diamond during the war. Time Journey will negate enemies’ crowd control, and enemies attack, and provide your teammate shield as well in order to support them further to win the war.
