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

To beat Lukas as Argus in Mobile Legends: Bang Bang.US, freeze the minion wave near your turret and hold Argus's ultimate, Eternal Evil, until Lukas commits his full burst combo. Lukas relies on aggressive gap-closers and sustained physical damage in beast form to overpower EXP lane opponents. Because he lacks reliable disengage tools once he dives, absorbing his burst during Argus's invulnerability window allows you to turn lethal damage into health recovery and eliminate him with Warmonger basic attacks.

Skill Timing and Trading Against Lukas

Withholding Eternal Evil until your health drops into critical range is the primary condition for winning this matchup. Activating the ultimate prematurely allows Lukas to disengage or kite around the lane, running down your invulnerability timer without penalty.

Trade basic attacks conservatively: Stand near your minions and let Lukas initiate with his gap-closer. Allow your health bar to drop to bait him into committing his highest-damaging skills.
Activate Eternal Evil at the burst threshold: Trigger your ultimate right before fatal damage lands. This cleanses lingering crowd control, negates his burst, and converts all dealt damage into health regeneration.
Cast Meteoric Sword: Hit Lukas with Meteoric Sword immediately after activating your ultimate. Chase along the resulting curse trail to gain bonus movement speed and extra physical damage.
Re-engage with Demonic Grip: If Lukas attempts to leap or flash away once his burst fails, cast Demonic Grip to pull directly back into melee range and finish the duel.

Item Progression Against Lukas

To counter Lukas's health scaling and sustained trades, build attack speed, physical penetration, and healing reduction. Attack speed charges Argus's Warmonger passive rapidly, ensuring continuous double strikes throughout extended engagements.

Item	Tactical Purpose Against Lukas	Trade-Off
Corrosion Scythe	Slows Lukas's retreat and ramps Argus's attack speed.	Provides no defensive stats against early burst trades.
Demon Hunter Sword	Shreds Lukas's expanded health pool during beast form.	Features an expensive component path that delays utility.
Sea Halberd	Reduces Lukas's combat healing and deals bonus damage to high-HP targets.	Requires aggressive positioning to maintain healing debuffs.
Malefic Roar	Penetrates bonus physical defense items built by Lukas.	Focuses entirely on armor penetration rather than attack speed.

Rush Corrosion Scythe first to lock down Lukas once his initial dash is on cooldown. Follow with Demon Hunter Sword or Sea Halberd to dismantle his defensive stats and cut down his health recovery.

Power Spikes and Wave Management

Argus operates on strict cooldown windows in this matchup. Manage lane positioning and objective timing around your ultimate:

Maintain wave equilibrium: Keep minion lines positioned just outside your outer turret radius. This forces Lukas to overextend down the lane to collect gold, giving you ample room to chase him down.
Play defensively without Eternal Evil: When your ultimate is on cooldown, avoid trading. Clear incoming waves safely under your turret using Meteoric Sword, and do not contest Turtle objectives or jungle invades alone.
Capitalize on ultimate uptime: When Eternal Evil is available and Lukas is forced to recall or eliminated, immediately shove the minion wave to damage the tier-one EXP lane turret and clear adjacent enemy jungle camps.
