Mal'Ganis Build Guide “I am eternal!”

Mal'Ganis is a melee Tank who relies on heavy amounts of self-sustain to stay alive when deep within the enemy backline. This sustain is provided by his Trait ability, Vampiric Touch, which causes Mal'Ganis to be healed for a percentage of all damage he deals to both enemy Heroes and non-Heroes. Although Mal'Ganis can only deal damage to enemies in close proximity to him, his kit is full of reliable gap-closers that allow him to easily stick to his desired target(s). Mal'Ganis is very suceptible to crowd control, as any form of movement impairment will make it difficult to deal damage and benefit from the self-healing of Vampiric Touch. Although Mal'Ganis is easy to pick up and play for those newer to the character, his rapid-fire kit leaves plenty of room for showcasing high-level mechanical skill.

• Charges of a single Fel Claws cast can be spaced out to maximize mobility and counter-play opportunities.
• Use the Bonus Armor of Necrotic Embrace to mitigate incoming damage upon engaging in a teamfight or skirmish.
• Night Rush can be used offensively to track down and set up kills or defensively to peel away aggressive enemy Heroes from Mal'Ganis or a vulnerable ally.
• A well-timed Carrion Swarm can prevent Mal'Ganis from being taken down by otherwise lethal enemy focus-fire.
• Dark Conversion can be used at low Health to immediately cripple seemingly impenetrable enemy frontline.

Mal'Ganis is considered to be a strong Hero in the current Anomaly. His sheer presence and tankiness makes him engage very strongly against most other Heroes, allowing him to zone them out and push them back, potentially preventing them from collecting Experience Globes.

Mal'Ganis can be a solid choice whenever his allies are in need of a damage dealing "off-tank" but also holds his own as a traditional Main Tank. He excels when paired with a team that can follow up on his engagements with burst damage, and protect him from being burned down by the enemy focus-fire upon initiation. During teamfights, he is able to dive the enemy back-line, wreaking havoc on vulnerable enemy Heroes while providing distraction for allied Assassins to do their work.
