How to Beat Argus as Dyrroth in Mobile Legends: Bang Bang.US

To beat Argus as Dyrroth in Mobile Legends: Bang Bang.US, abuse your early physical defense shred to establish lane dominance from levels one through three, then hold your ultimate until Argus exhausts his immortality. Argus relies on basic attacks and the invulnerability of Eternal Evil to survive fatal burst. If you force his ultimate early and disengage while it is active, you can re-engage with Abysm Strike the moment his protection drops.

Core Matchup Dynamics

Dyrroth controls trades during the first three levels because his kit strips armor before Argus acquires core attack speed items. Dyrroth’s second skill, Specter Step, reduces physical defense significantly when empowered by his passive, Wrath of the Abyss. This debuff lets Burst Strike and Abysm Strike deal near-true damage during early fights.

Argus relies on sustained basic attacks driven by his Warmonger passive and the safety net of Eternal Evil. Activating Eternal Evil prevents death for a brief window while converting damage dealt into health. Never cast your full burst directly into an active Eternal Evil; doing so heals Argus and forfeits your lead.

How to Trade Against Argus in Lane

Win short trades by charging Wrath of the Abyss before engaging:

1. Hit minions until your rage bar sits above 50 percent to empower your abilities.
2. Cast the first phase of Specter Step to close the distance to Argus.
3. Use the second cast of Specter Step to lock Argus down and apply the physical defense shred.
4. Cast Burst Strike along his path to take advantage of the reduced armor.
5. Step sideways to dodge Argus's Demonic Grip hand projectile, trade with enhanced basic attacks, and back off before his Warmonger bar fills completely.

How to Counter Eternal Evil

From level four onward, a standard combo drops Argus low enough to force his ultimate. Manage the interaction by holding Abysm Strike until his invulnerability ends:

1. Trigger the threshold: Land enhanced Specter Step and Burst Strike to drop Argus to roughly 20 percent health.
2. Identify the activation: Watch for the dark angelic wings and audio cue signaling Eternal Evil.
3. Disengage immediately: Stop attacking. Kite backward, move toward bush cover, or use your movement speed to create space. Hitting Argus during this window only restores his health pool.
4. Track the duration: Keep Argus in sight while waiting out the few seconds of immortality.
5. Execute with Abysm Strike: Cast Abysm Strike immediately as the dark aura fades. The lost-HP scaling finishes off his low health bar before he can regenerate.

Counter Items for the Matchup

Argus scales through attack speed items like Corrosion Scythe and Demon Hunter Sword. Counter this scaling by combining physical penetration with anti-heal and armor:

• Dominance Ice: The most critical defensive counter. It lowers Argus's attack speed and halves the healing he receives from Warmonger and Eternal Evil.
• Hunter Strike: Grants physical attack, cooldown reduction, flat armor penetration, and a burst of movement speed on consecutive hits to help you kite during Eternal Evil.
• Blade of the Heptaseas: Maximizes burst damage from bush ambushes, forcing Argus to panic-activate his ultimate early.
• Antique Cuirass or Dreadnaught Armor: Reduces incoming physical damage, keeping you safe if Argus connects with Demonic Grip.

Wave Management and Next Steps

Freeze the minion wave outside your turret instead of pushing into Argus. Argus struggles to contest gold early, and freezing forces him into open ground where you can initiate with Specter Step.

Do not dive Argus under his turret post-level four unless his ultimate is on cooldown. When Argus retreats to safety, use your lane priority to secure the Lithowanderer, rotate to the Turtle objective, or steal nearby enemy jungle camps to expand your team's gold advantage.
