Mobile Legends: Bang Bang: How to Beat Sun as Argus

Argus defeats Sun in Mobile Legends: Bang Bang by turning Sun's clone swarms into fuel for his Warmonger passive and delaying Eternal Evil until Sun commits his full burst combo. Rather than running from Sun's doppelgangers, Argus uses the incoming hits to rapidly recharge his Demonic Blade, outputting continuous double slashes and self-healing to win sustained trades.

Turn Sun's Clones into Warmonger Energy

Sun's main threat—overwhelming opponents with summoned clones—works to Argus's direct advantage.

• Passive Charging: Argus's passive, Warmonger, charges whenever he deals damage or takes hits. Each auto-attack from Sun and his summoned clones counts as incoming damage, filling Argus's Demonic Blade bar almost instantly in close combat.
• Double Strike & Sustain: A full charge triggers an empowered basic attack that slashes twice, deals bonus physical damage, and restores Argus's HP based on his total physical attack.
• Overcoming Armor Shred: Although Sun stacks his Simian God passive to strip Argus's physical defense, the sheer frequency of incoming clone hits allows Argus to trigger double slashes with virtually no cooldown, sustaining through Sun's physical damage.

Spot and Stick to the Real Sun

Sun relies on deception using Endless Variety and Swift Exchange. Waste basic attacks on clones, and the real Sun will kite or overwhelm you.

1. Brand with Meteoric Sword: Thrust Meteoric Sword toward the enemy pack. Cursing the real Sun inflicts periodic damage while he moves and leaves a visible Demonic Path behind him. This trail immediately reveals the real hero among his doppelgangers.
2. Close the Distance with Demonic Grip: Follow the Demonic Path for a 40% movement speed boost, then cast Demonic Grip directly at the true Sun.
3. Bypass Clone Blockers: Recast the grappling hook to pull Argus directly to Sun, bypassing clone hitboxes and locking onto the main target.

Time Eternal Evil Against Clone Techniques

Activating Eternal Evil too early allows Sun to retreat with a dash skill, wait out the invulnerability, and re-engage. Activating it late turns Sun's entire offense into healing for Argus.

• Wait for Sun's Ultimate: Hold your ultimate until Sun commits Clone Techniques and expends his mobility skills.
• Trigger at Low Health: Allow your health to fall below 25%, then trigger Eternal Evil. This cleanses crowd control and grants four seconds of death immunity.
• Relentless Focus: Attack the real Sun while your Warmonger passive continuously resets from incoming clone attacks. 100% of the damage Argus inflicts during the four-second window converts into health when the ultimate ends, resetting Argus to full HP.

Recommended On-Hit Item Build

Building on-hit percentage damage and attack speed melts both Sun and his durable clones far more effectively than single-target burst setups.

Laning Phase and Rotation Checks

Between levels 1 and 3, Sun holds lane priority with poke damage from Endless Variety clones.

• Play Defensively Early: Freeze minion waves right outside your outer turret. Clear minions safely using Meteoric Sword and reserve Demonic Grip to disengage if Sun plays aggressively.
• Contest at Level 4: Once you unlock Eternal Evil and complete Corrosion Scythe, you can initiate all-in duels and challenge Sun on split-pushes.
• Check the Map First: Hard crowd control and suppression from rotating enemy roams or mages can immobilize Argus during his four-second ultimate window, preventing him from landing basic attacks to heal. Confirm enemy positions in adjacent river bushes before committing your ultimate.
