—MLBB Equipment Tips
|
- Dominance Ice is the best defense item to counter heroes with high healing, shielding, or lifesteal abilities thanks to its second unique passive "Lifebane".
- This item is also best equipped by tanks or fighters to get a substantial amount of physical defense and magic defense to increase their tankiness.
- This item can be suggested to be purchased after footwear equipment to get a substantial amount of hybrid defense in the early game to increase survivability in early ganks.
Item Combinations[]
- It is best paired with
Clock of Destiny, Oracle, and Thunder Belt to get a substantial amount of hybrid defense to enhance sustainability and durability while dealing high true damage to the enemies. - It is also recommended to pair it with other physical defense items such as Antique Cuirass, Blade Armor, and Chastise Pauldron or magic defense items such as Athena's Shield or Radiant Armor to counter every type of damage (except True Damage).
- It is also recommended to pair it with Guardian Helmet and Queen's Wings to get a substantial amount of hybrid defense and damage reduction to further improve your tankiness.
Recommended Heroes[]
Here are some recommended heroes for each role (Note: only 3 examples are given at most):
Effective Against[]
Dominance Ice's second unique passive - "Lifebane" is able to reduce the enemy's healing received, which makes it effective against heroes and items with high healing, shielding or lifesteal effects:

- Regen obtained from killing Jungle Creeps and Purple Buff.

Lifesteal Effects[]
Weaknesses[]
Despite the enemy has extremely high healing received, this item can only reduce the enemy's healing received by 40%.
Penetration[]
To counter Dominance Ice's high hybrid defense, one of the most effective ways is to use heroes with penetration effects or buy penetration items. However, keep in mind that penetration has a limit; it can't ignore 100% of your target's defense (Note: only 3 examples are given at most for each part):
- Hero abilities:
- Item effects:
- Malefic Gun's "Armor Buster"
- Malefic Roar's "Armor Buster" and "Breaker"
- Divine Glaive's "Spellbreaker"
- Emblem and talents:
- Assassin Emblem - Rupture
- Mage Emblem
- Battle spells:
- Inspire
Defense Reduction[]
Defense reduction effect is also one of the most effective ways to counter Dominance Ice's high hybrid defense. Unlike penetration, once your target's defense is reduced, your allies will also benefit from it. However, keep in mind that defense reduction has a limit; it can't reduce 100% of your target's defense (Note: only 3 examples are given at most for each part):
- Hero abilities:
- Item effects:
- Genius Wand's "Magic"
- Cursed Helmet's "Curse"
True Damage[]
True damage is the best counter against Dominance Ice's high hybrid defense, since the damage can ignore any defense (Note: only 3 examples are given at most for each part):
- Hero abilities:
- Item effects:
- Endless Battle's "Divine Justice"
- Starlium Scythe's "Crisis"
- War Axe's "Fighting Spirit" (When reach full stacks)
Healing Received Increase[]
Dominance Ice's second unique passive - "Lifebane" - is able to reduce the attacker's healing received effect. To counter this, it is suggested to use heroes who can increase the healing received effect, or buy items that can increase the healing received effect. However, keep in mind that it has a limit; it can't increase the healing received effect back to 100% despite being anti-healed (Note: only 3 examples are given at most for each part):
- Hero abilities:
- Item effects:
- Oracle's "Bless"
- Battle spell
- Revitalize
Notes[]
Unlike 
Sea Halberd and 
Glowing Wand, Dominance Ice can only be triggered when the hero attacked by the enemies, and only lasts for 1 second.
