Overview
Granger is a burst-type Marksman in Mobile Legends known for his long-range poke and deadly skill damage. He relies on Demonic Energy instead of mana, allowing him to spam abilities as he gets takedowns. Granger is weaker in the early game but becomes extremely powerful once he gets his core items, making him a strong carry in mid to late game. He excels at deleting squishy heroes from a distance with his skills while using his dash to reposition and stay safe in fights.

Snowball
Grangers build focuses on high burst damage, penetration, and survivability. Skypiercer increases attack and movement speed after using skills. Tough Boots reduce crowd control and add magic resistance. Blade of Heptases and Malefic Roar boost damage against tanky enemies, while Hunter Strike improves skill cooldowns and mobility. Blade of Despair increases attack and finishing power. Alternative items include Immortality and Winter Crown, and Malefic Roar can be replaced with Rose Gold Meteor for more survivability.
Burst with high penetration
Using the Custom Assassin Emblem on Granger maximizes his burst damage, sustain in fights, and finishing potential. Rupture increases his physical penetration, allowing his skills and bullets to deal more damage to enemies with armor, making his burst much more effective, especially in mid to late game. Festival of Blood provides lifesteal whenever he deals damage, helping him sustain during skirmishes and recover HP after poking or using his skills. Finally, Lethal Ignition enhances his kill potential by dealing extra burn damage over time to enemies he hits, making it easier for Granger to finish off low-health targets and pressure opponents in team fights.
Survivabality and spam skills
With this Custom Assassin Emblem setup, Granger becomes more effective in prolonged skirmishes and team fights while maintaining strong burst potential. Thrill increases his damage when he is low on HP, allowing him to deal even more lethal burst in clutch situations instead of falling off. Festival of Blood provides spell vamp, helping Granger sustain himself by recovering HP whenever he deals damage with his skills, which is especially useful since most of his damage comes from ability-based shots. Impure Rage boosts his damage against enemies with higher HP than him, making it easier for Granger to shred tankier targets and win duels, while also improving his overall impact in team fights.
High Spell Vamp with High Damage
For survivability, this Custom Fighter Emblem setup provides a balanced mix of durability and damage, allowing Granger to stay longer in fights while still dealing effective burst. With Rupture granting high adaptive penetration and adaptive attack, his damage remains strong even against tankier enemies, making him both resilient and threatening in team engagements.
Battle Spell
Flicker is a highly useful battle spell for Granger as it provides instant repositioning, allowing him to escape dangerous situations, dodge crowd control, or aggressively close the gap to finish off low-health enemies. It also helps him secure better angles for his skills, especially his ultimate, making his plays more flexible and unpredictable in team fights. However, if the enemy team has strong burst damage or multiple crowd control heroes that can easily lock Granger down and kill him, Purify can be used as a reliable alternative to remove debuffs and increase his survivability in critical moments.
Granger Battle Tips
During Grangers dominant phase positioning is very important He should stay at the edge of fights and use his long range skills to safely deal damage to squishy enemies like marksmen and mages He can maximize damage by using Rhapsody skill one with Death Sonata ultimate while Rondo skill two helps him dodge crowd control and reposition Granger should keep moving between shots and use slow or debuff items to control enemies Using Flicker or Purify at the right time can save him and keeping energy stacks high ensures his skills are ready When fights are risky he can split push to pressure turrets and make the most of his range and damage potential
Best With Estes
80% co-op win rate
The fatal flaw of the Granger and Estes pairing is their brittle inflexibility when faced with isolation or specialized suppression. Because their success depends entirely on "clumping" together, they are highly susceptible to "crowd control" or "area-of-effect" disruptions that can paralyze both at once, effectively putting all their eggs in one basket. In a work context, if the supporter (Estes) is targeted first or neutralized by "anti-heal" tactics—like high-stress environments that outpace their ability to help—the high-output worker (Granger) is left completely exposed with no natural defense or stamina. This creates a single point of failure: if you separate them or cut off the support line, the duo's synergy vanishes, leaving the worker to crumble under pressure and the supporter useless without a lead to protect.
Watch Out For Beatrix
80% counter win rate
Granger counters Beatrix because he has better movement and range control. Beatrix is most dangerous when she is very close or very far, but she often has to slow down to aim her most powerful shots. Granger uses his dash to stay at a medium distance where her weapons are less accurate, and he uses his bullets to deal damage while constantly moving. Because Granger can shoot while running, he can easily dodge her attacks and burst her down before she can switch to the right weapon to respond.
