To beat Granger as Wanwan in Mobile Legends: Bang Bang, dodge his Skill 1 (Rhapsody) using diagonal passive hops, throw Skill 1 (Swallow’s Path) behind him after he dashes, and build early attack speed to unlock Crossbow of Tang before he can burst you down.
Dodging Rhapsody and Managing Early Laning
Granger has the upper hand in the first three levels due to high base physical scaling, but his primary damage source is highly linear. Rhapsody fires six bullets forward in a narrow cone. If you retreat in a straight line, you will absorb the entire burst.
- Hop diagonally: Use Wanwan's passive, Tiger Pace, to jump sideways or diagonally across the minion wave after every basic attack. Granger cannot turn quickly while channeling Rhapsody without shifting his entire model.
- Control your lane positioning: Do not stand directly inside your minion wave. Holding an off-angle or ducking into the side brush forces Granger to choose between pushing the wave and hitting you.
- Punish skill cooldowns: When Granger expends Rhapsody on minions, he loses his main damage threat. Step forward immediately to apply Weakness marks and zone him away from the gold cart.
Hitting Rear Weaknesses with Swallow’s Path
Activating Wanwan's ultimate, Crossbow of Tang, requires breaking all Weakness points on the target. While Granger's front and side marks are easy to hit with standard basic attacks and hops, skilled opponents will backpedal to guard their rear mark.
- Wait out Granger's dash: Hold Skill 1 (Swallow’s Path) until Granger commits Skill 2 (Rondo). If you cast too early, he will simply slide away from the daggers' return path.
- Throw daggers past his model: Aim Swallow’s Path deep behind Granger. The forward throw applies initial pressure, while the returning daggers hit him from behind to pop the rear Weakness and inflict a brief stun.
- Cleanse and retaliate: If Granger dashes forward to engage, hop sideways. If he tags you with crowd control, cast Skill 2 (Needles in Flowers) to instantly remove the debuff, gain a free hop, and close the distance while he reloads.
Item Progression and Build Priorities
Granger relies on flat physical burst and cooldown reduction, whereas Wanwan scales on attack speed. Higher attack speed reduces the delay between Tiger Pace leaps, allowing you to circle Granger faster than he can aim.
| Item | Matchup Role | Tactical Advantage |
|---|---|---|
| Corrosion Scythe | First Core Item | Increases attack speed and hop frequency while slowing Granger to prevent kiting. |
| Demon Hunter Sword | Damage & Sustain | Deals percentage-based on-hit damage and provides lifesteal during trades. |
| Wind of Nature | Active Defense | Provides active physical immunity to absorb Granger’s sixth critical shot and Death Sonata. |
| Malefic Roar | Late Armor Penetration | Cuts through any late-game physical defense items Granger purchases to survive duels. |
Rush Corrosion Scythe first to maximize your mobility. Follow with Demon Hunter Sword for sustain, and use Wind of Nature whenever Granger attempts an all-in combo.
Teamfight Execution and Ultimate Targeting
In high-tier teamfights, do not dive through the enemy frontline to reach Granger. Granger typically stays at maximum range to pick off low-health allies with his ultimate, Death Sonata. Attempting to maneuver behind enemy lines to break his marks leaves Wanwan exposed to crowd control and burst damage.
Instead, attack an overextended tank or fighter to break their Weaknesses quickly. Larger frontline hitboxes make activating Crossbow of Tang significantly faster and safer. Once the ultimate activates, Wanwan becomes completely untargetable and gains increased movement speed. You can then redirect your aerial fire directly onto Granger, leaving him unable to retaliate without burning Flicker.

I tried this today and it worked better than my old setup.
I wish I had read this before upgrading the wrong thing.
This helped me understand strategy much better.
The explanation is clear, especially for beginners.
