then you should see Thunder Belt and Corrosion Scythe, she's a queen of true damage if you build magic damage items that also gives you HP. Many Esme can even handle Terizla without losing half health...
@@enchantedarrow Mage build also good for her. Boots, Talisman, L.Truncheon, Bloodwings, Holy Crystal, and Oracle. With support emblem, her CD will go to 45% overall.
I knew Esmeralda would be more threatening in this update! I was shocked to see that Esme got her defense growth increase despite her not being the regular tank, sure she equips defenses in her build but you can still go pure magic before and still do well. Unlike the ordinary tanks where going pure dmg would result in being squishy. Her mana also got buffed dammit, I can just buy mana necklace and play a bit more aggressive to trade blows with the enemy. Unlike before where I had to play more conservative to clear lanes and rotate to join team fights.
dont need to buy mana necklace early anymore since her mana consumption is really low now, u can prioritize boots depending on who you are against in the lane
Instead of buying ice queen wand, you can buy thunder belt because of her skills low cooldown. You can always proc the slow effect of the thunder belt while being able to take damage to enemy tanky heroes.
Saw this and then played 4 games with her. First 3 dominated the enemy. The last I tried her as a jungler and she was really good there too even against dyrroth jungle. Then the lag hit but we still won despite that. Play her right now she is really good
@@darkar3333 I'm broke in ml and haven't spent any dias but her collector skin is really cool so probably :DD u can try searching on youtube if you wanna see someone using it
I recommend using Esmeralda as a pure mage because her damage is CRAZY and her durability while on her 1st skill is also crazy. If needed, build Dominance Ice on her for anti heal and Oracle for more shield.
@@jenjenhocho3188 Esme is not the type of mage you use durance tho, and with dominance ice and oracle your survivability will increase rather than only "anti healing" a hero
Her magical build is better than tank build and believe me, you will never use it again. Now with the buff on her defense stats and on magic crystal its even better. The magical build is: defense boots - magic or physical - enchanted talisman, even though shes not more mana dependent, ET still is necessary since u can achieve 40% cdr early, Starlium Scythe, Feather of Heaven and Magic Crystal, for the 6° item u can either go full damage with Blood Wings or defense like Dominance Ice or Oracle (In my opinion, Oracle is better since u will be benefited by both magic and physical defense and will "counter" the side effect of anti heal). Also, Dyrroth is not the COUNTER of Esme, he's just a hard opponent (especially if u use tank build since u won't have damage) but Terizla (against magic build) and Thamuz are definitely the real counters since their damage and slow will make your life as a Esme on XP a hell. If you are having trouble agaisnt Yu Zhong, just wait till level 2 and always stay close to him, his first skill deal more damage when you are in the corner of the skill, so if u stay "glued" to him, his damage will be lowered
Finally Esmeralda is being picked again cause as a Esmeralda main no one really know the true potential of esmeralda but know everyone will see a new and better Esmeralda❤❤❤
Esm is straight forward hero with shield abilities. I rarely play her cuz of how easy she is (I like playing difficult heros). I play her only when I want to rank up and most of the time it is sure won when esm exp.
I played Esmeralda last night due to the enemy picking Harith, I thought my esme gonna neutralize Harith at least. But holy cow she's even better than I thought. I literally 1vs5 them after the enemy Harith got a maniac, it tickles my belly just seeing how they're trying to kill me but my shield just overpowering them, and of course Savage is secured.
You can also make a hybrid build Esme hence she’ll function as a bruiser hero like Paquito - tanky and painful. Especially if you already have a tank roam/jungle.
When Esmeralda received the nerf hammer I also felt that I'm out of the meta. LOL. I even deleted my ML. I'm excited to play again after the buff she received.
The most versatile hero in all of MLBB a very strong jungler if built for damage can easily kill squishies like shes an assasin if built for Roam she can easily tank damage and initiate team fights by jumping to the enemy MM if built for exp she can easily be a second tank like a fighter all this i have tried but my personal fave is jungler esme
She's always been my queen, just behind her nightmare called Lunox. Still a great pick because of how she can just ignore things with shield like the Aegis spell, she negates Flask of the Oasis' passive and help against healers while also absorbing each and every heroes who have shield in their skillset and they can't even buy Oracle because it'll just raise their shield so she can stay longer fighting against them. A tip for non-Esme players is also to avoid heroes with skills that you can easily miss if you don't predict enough since many Esme players (like me) usually like to be unpredictable. Also, if you want heroes for exp lane, go for the fast ones, like Yu Zhong and Cici, who can poke her safely and even buy Oracle so they can sustain better without creating shield, only spell vamp while having CD reduction and hibrid defense.
Cici is not a good counter, only if u use her as a tank since u wont have damage and Lunox is not her counter anymore bc if u go tank u build oracle+radiant armor, if u are going magic build u just easily kill her
Recently I see more dyrroth ban because of esmeralda pick so i have to use alpha because of that although esmeralda still bully alpha in the early game but at mid game when I have sea-halberd and war-axe the prablem is solved
it's not a new found strength but just a fraction of her previous glory hahaha I can still vividly remember the terror she made when she was released. Her kit was so broken it took them years to balance her and free her from her perma ban status haha they even had to rework antiheal items coz of her. and ultimately they just decided to really nerf her a lot to free her from the ban list ahha alongside harith
I only started using esmeralda bcause of her allstar skin (I did not play esme ever since i lost 4 straight matches with her 2 years ago) but all i can say is she is very good right now 10/10 good for taunting and hunting enemies. The amount of times I encounter a match with a hanabi...
Oh so that's why she felt so broken today when I play her, I kill 3 full hp enemies who were chasing me in zero hp. Even though enemies had dominance ice i was almost to full hp by the time I killed them
The changes for common emblem already made it possible to just replace talisman with thunderbelt and magic shoes. With that she is tankier and has a decent slow and pure dmg. Ice Wand and Talisman aren't needed anymore imo. The buff just makes it even better.
ET is heavily needed, even though her mana consumption is really low now, 40% ain't that good and as a main esme i felt that she dealt less damage and couldn't get enough shield
as an esme main,i wouldn't say dyrot is her counter its justs that early game dyrot is dominant and can make esme get her items slower which affects her gameplay but if u do play correctly u can dominate dyrot in 3-4 mins but terizla tho is a different question since esme doesnt do a lot of dmg in general,its hard to even get terizla low let alone kill him
Fun Fact: Esmeralda is Melissa's Allstars B.F.F in Allstar Sparkle Generation version, however Esmeralda Allstar and Lesley Aspirant Skin are really Partners
She’s almost impossible to kill in mid to late game. And the best part is I can even fall behind in the early game against heroes like Dyr or Yz and it still wouldn’t matter.
"Esmeralda is a great pick" Me:oh i can finally use a hero that doesnt rely on the team I CAN FINALLY ESCAPE EPIC HELL "Dyroth is a great counter to her" *looks at the usage of dyroth in epic* Me:i hate my life..
@@kutakachicky Support emblem + oracle + thunderbelt/scythe/feather of heaven + brute force = 40% cd already. Heck, you can skip brute force and build more dmg items with cd reduction.

The cursed duo esme and harith both back in the meta💀
Apparently, we return back to the old days
At last! Esme are the only exp/jungle hero I know
Esme: can roam, can jungle, can exp, can mid,
Harith: can jungle, can mid, can gold
Perfect duo
harith become OP now. thats also the reason why esme become meta again
Dominance ice nerf really made them good
agreed!! Tankier,less mana consumption, deals thikk damage, and I hope no nerfs in incoming patches let her shinee moonton!

Durance might be a better option purely from an anti-heal standpoint though.

My main is Esmeralda but I'm kinda bored of just spamming first and second skill but i still love her
the edits is superb!
the defense buff adjustments is a really big improvement and made me use her again.
Finally Esmeralda is being picked again cause as a Esmeralda main no one really know the true potential of esmeralda but know everyone will see a new and better Esmeralda❤❤❤
you're overreacting, she's the most picked hero before and now.
another reason. shes one of the few heroes that can beat the mistress of duels in the exp and jungle, Freya
She's really great right now but hardly fall off during late game especially when enemy team has a lot of crowd control abilities
Bro I can't agree more with u. Esmeralda is so afraid of cc control.
Esm is straight forward hero with shield abilities. I rarely play her cuz of how easy she is (I like playing difficult heros). I play her only when I want to rank up and most of the time it is sure won when esm exp.
I played Esmeralda last night due to the enemy picking Harith, I thought my esme gonna neutralize Harith at least. But holy cow she's even better than I thought.

What build did you use?
@@lyan117 I used semi-tank build
And She can use Mage Build,Thanks to Blood Wings and Holy Crystal for making her shield thiccer than before
She is often pick now because alot of heroes are using shields. Angela and Harith for example.
Ice queen (slow) change with blood wing for extra shield + movement speed (opinion)
Ice queen way better and poke you to death
You can also make a hybrid build Esme hence she’ll function as a bruiser hero like Paquito - tanky and painful. Especially if you already have a tank roam/jungle.
When Esmeralda received the nerf hammer I also felt that I'm out of the meta. LOL. I even deleted my ML. I'm excited to play again after the buff she received.
Why play Esmeralda?
Only play her if enemy has shield, or squishy, or y'all have trio - 5 man, or you're confident.
Back in 2018 to 2019, she used to dominate the rank match together with Harrith
The most versatile hero in all of MLBB a very strong jungler if built for damage can easily kill squishies like shes an assasin if built for Roam she can easily tank damage and initiate team fights by jumping to the enemy MM if built for exp she can easily be a second tank like a fighter all this i have tried but my personal fave is jungler esme
I use esmeralda in full damage build as I found her more effective that way though. Valesmeralda is a great player using it for reference.
She's always been my queen, just behind her nightmare called Lunox.
Still a great pick because of how she can just ignore things with shield like the Aegis spell, she negates Flask of the Oasis' passive and help against healers while also absorbing each and every heroes who have shield in their skillset and they can't even buy Oracle because it'll just raise their shield so she can stay longer fighting against them.
A tip for non-Esme players is also to avoid heroes with skills that you can easily miss if you don't predict enough since many Esme players (like me) usually like to be unpredictable.
Also, if you want heroes for exp lane, go for the fast ones, like Yu Zhong and Cici, who can poke her safely and even buy Oracle so they can sustain better without creating shield, only spell vamp while having CD reduction and hibrid defense.

Recently I see more dyrroth ban because of esmeralda pick so i have to use alpha because of that although esmeralda still bully alpha in the early game but at mid game when I have sea-halberd and war-axe the prablem is solved
Esme is really strong at late game alpha is early game just try to finish the game early. Esme is unkillable on late
Me who's been an esmerlda main for 6 YEARS : FINALLY!
I always watch you
6th reason:
Hips don't lie
-- shinmen takezo
ML gave me her blazing skin so now I'm an esme user
There's actually six reasons 😋😏
it's not a new found strength but just a fraction of her previous glory hahaha I can still vividly remember the terror she made when she was released. Her kit was so broken it took them years to balance her and free her from her perma ban status haha they even had to rework antiheal items coz of her. and ultimately they just decided to really nerf her a lot to free her from the ban list ahha alongside harith

my build for esme for this update is just sustain-dps (concentrated energy, brute force, oracle, enchanted talisman, queens wings/ immortality)
After counting the reasons very thoroughly, there are 7 BIG reasons to pick Esmeralda 😍
Didnt ever think that Esmerelda would be popular, or this video would be made
Me after the video: 5 reasons to ban esmeralda
Being an Esmeralda main this makes me really happy
I was literally thinking about picking esme then this video appeared on my notifications lmao
Dyrroth be like: Yeah pick her then i will destroy her😆
i prioritise starlium scythe and feather of heaven as main dmg items
no bull shit straight to the point as always i like it
Elgin literally forget "Brute force" perfect item for her play style
I have played esmeralda in every single lane, and she performs so good
Oh so that's why she felt so broken today when I play her, I kill 3 full hp enemies who were chasing me in zero hp. Even though enemies had dominance ice i was almost to full hp by the time I killed them
Its mainly because many are using shield-dependent heroes like Hanabi, Chang'e, Angela, Lolita, and Harith, and she can easily counter those five
You always sounds good Elgin
Ikr😮
My reason why you should pick Esmeralda Exp.....
I am a Dyrroth Main...
banned section: good day mate!
Lol, a good esme will not be countered even by a good dyrroth.
I played 2 rank matches with esme and the enemy pick dyrroth but I was kinda smart and dealt with him easily
After enchanted talisman i actually take cooldown boots for spamming skills even more
The changes for common emblem already made it possible to just replace talisman with thunderbelt and magic shoes. With that she is tankier and has a decent slow and pure dmg. Ice Wand and Talisman aren't needed anymore imo. The buff just makes it even better.
ET is heavily needed, even though her mana consumption is really low now, 40% ain't that good and as a main esme i felt that she dealt less damage and couldn't get enough shield
I noticed that most RG MG players tend to use esme as full burst and not tanky one
I got her astral skin and i dont even have her😂
I am using her with the same build except instead of dominance i am building durance. Plus I am inserting blade armor if needed.
Use sprint for bait, or purify for immune cc.
When wanwan buff? Worst win rate, and one of the lowest ban/pick rate
IMO the rising popularity of Blood Wings for squishy mages is also a contributing factor.
as an esme main,i wouldn't say dyrot is her counter its justs that early game dyrot is dominant and can make esme get her items slower which affects her gameplay but if u do play correctly u can dominate dyrot in 3-4 mins but terizla tho is a different question since esme doesnt do a lot of dmg in general,its hard to even get terizla low let alone kill him

Me literally spamming esme to climb legend - mythic
been playing since the new update shes basically unkillable in the early game and her mana never ends now i got a 100% wr on esme this season
Ive been spamming her recently shes soo good
I still remember Esmeralda when she was released = shield replace her hp
i like how esme, harith and helcurt getting alumni in ban section

Should have mentioned that her damage build became even more viable now because of the added defense stats.
What is the combo of her skills for more shield? I want to try her
Anyone else seen that minotaur get melted like butter? 😂 This recent defense update messed up tanks so heavily imo
I've building her without the enchanted talisman and only thunderbelt or starlium scythe and Im not having mana problems that much.
For me it's not about the mana comsuption it's the 20% CDR from one item.
