Layla is a seemingly simple but incredibly dangerous character in Mobile Legends: Bang Bang. She holds a trusty energy rifle in her hands, and it is this that makes her one of the most formidable shooters. The secret of her power lies in the enormous range of attack she gains through the passive effect of the Destruction Rush Ultimate. In combination with the unique passive skill Malefic Gun, which increases the damage from auto attacks and abilities depending on the distance to the target, Layla turns into a real machine for demolishing enemies.
Destruction Rush is a powerful long—range shot capable of wiping an enemy off the map, and Malefic Bomb not only causes huge damage, but also increases the firing range, speeding up the Layla itself. Her arsenal is complemented by Void Projectile, a projectile that deals damage to an area and slows down enemies. However, the hero also has weaknesses: fragility and poor mobility. The only way to escape is to cast a Flicker spell. Therefore, Leila becomes an easy prey for those who can quickly close the distance.

Top 5 strong heroes against Layla in Mobile Legends
Zilong
Zilong is considered to be the fastest warrior in Land of Dawn. His ultimate Supreme Warrior transforms the hero into a deadly fighter who can easily break into Layla. Combined with Spear Strike, this makes it a formidable counterpick.
It’s best to ambush Leila in the bushes while she’s busy farming. Activate Supreme Warrior at the right moment and rush forward. With the help of Spear Strike, Zilong quickly shortens the distance, and Spear Flip knocks down the sight and disorients the enemy.
All that remains is to put the squeeze on it with a series of rapid car attacks. The main thing is not to slow down. Skillful use of the Supreme Warrior+ combination Spear Strike + Spear Flip is guaranteed to leave Layla without a chance.
Natalia
Leila’s weakness towards assassins makes Natalia her terrible enemy. It all starts with an unobtrusive approach: Assassin Instinct allows Natalia to hide in the bushes and wait for the right moment. Leila only has to gape, and Natalia rushes to the attack.
The first hit, enhanced by Assassin Instinct, deals massive damage. Next comes The Hunt, followed by a swift Claw Dash to avoid a possible response. The Smoke Bomb completes the case, making Natalia invisible and allowing her to retreat calmly.
Besides her, other killers are a danger to Leila — Hayabusa, Ling, Lancelot, Gusion or Fanny. Everyone has the tools to get to her quickly and end the fight in their favor.
Harley
If you prefer magicians, a great choice against Layla is Harley. His mobility and explosive magic damage allow him to destroy a target in seconds and immediately disappear from the battlefield. 
Start by jumping Space Escape, then immediately hang Deadly Magic. After that, unleash a Poker Trick on Layla and, if necessary, finish her off with auto attacks. The final Space Escape will bring Harley back to safety while Layla is already falling to the ground.
Miya
Are you looking for a shooter who can fight back against Layla? Mia is just such an option. Her Hidden Moonlight ultimate allows you to quickly get closer to your goal. Next up is Arrow of Eclipse, which immobilizes the enemy, and a barrage of Moon Arrow attacks. 
Using Inspire, Mia gets a bonus to attack speed and health recovery, which makes her especially dangerous in a one-on-one duel. With a full set of items, she confidently defeats Layla.
Claude
Claude is another shooter who can easily handle Leila. His Battle Mirror Image gives you incredible mobility, allowing you to both rush in and safely retreat.
At the beginning of the game, he can use Art of Theft to gradually reduce Layla’s health and slow her down. And from the fourth level, when Claude gets the Blazing Duet, the situation changes dramatically.
The combination of Mirror Image + Blazing Duet causes tremendous damage and leaves almost no chance. At the same time, Claude can always instantly go back with the help of a mirror.
This flexibility makes him especially valuable: he is not only aggressive, but also knows how to retreat in time, retaining the initiative.
