In Mobile Legends, the hybrid shooter and fighter hero is known primarily for his high damage. The secret lies in the unique mechanics: it freely changes human and wolf forms, and each of them gives its advantages. In human form, the character demonstrates accuracy and mobility — light jerks, accurate strikes from a distance and critical attacks make him a dangerous opponent. In addition, in human form, he gets access to control skills that can interrupt the enemy’s actions and turn the tide of battle.
As soon as he turns into a wolf, the picture changes dramatically. The hero becomes much stronger, acquires bestial speed and rage in close combat. He pounces on enemies with lightning attacks, tearing them apart in close contact and giving them almost no chance to escape. However, even that kind of power doesn’t make him invincible. The game has characters who can not only survive the onslaught of Deer Wolf Hunter, but also confidently resist it. Their unique skills allow them to find Roger’s weaknesses and turn his strength against him.

Three heroes who can confidently counter Roger in MLBB
Gatotkaca
Gatotkaca is considered one of Roger’s best counterpicks. It’s all thanks to his passive Steel Bones skill. While Roger relies on Full Moon Curse, which enhances his basic attacks and allows him to deal huge damage, Gatotkacha only gets stronger under pressure. Steel Bones increases his physical defense depending on his lost health, which means that the harder Roger hits, the harder it is to break through the tank. Moreover, Gatotkacha gets Rage Points when he hits, which allows him to deal additional magical damage and restore health right in battle.
The key tactic against Roger is the proper use of skills. For example, the Unbreakable ability can lure Roger into attacking a tank, thereby protecting more vulnerable allies. Crowd control through Blast Iron Fist slows down the pace and prevents Roger from realizing all his damage. And Avatar of the Guardian’s ultimate gives you a powerful shield, deals magical damage, and slows down enemies—just what you need to keep the wolf under control.
When choosing items, the focus should be on survival and reducing cooldown. Dominance Ice will give you armor and allow you to use skills more often, and Immortality will give you a chance for a second life and the opportunity to turn the outcome of the battle. All this makes Gatotkacha a real obstacle in Roger’s path.
Melissa
Melissa, known as the Cursed Needle, is as vulnerable as any shooter, but her abilities allow her to destroy Roger’s plans. The main trump card is the ultimate Go Away! It knocks back any enemy that tries to approach. For Roger in wolf form, this is a disaster: the combo is interrupted, and the threat is drastically reduced.
But her arsenal is not limited to this either. The Falling skill! allows you to deftly dodge Roger’s attacks in human form. When used correctly, it is able to almost completely avoid his damage and continue to inflict damage from a safe distance. In conjunction with Eyes on You! Melissa can force a fight on Roger on her own terms, keeping him away from her.
After collecting the standard arrow build — Corrosion Scythe, Demon Hunter Sword, Golden Staff — she turns into a formidable damage machine. Wind of Nature will become an additional shield against sudden attacks: by activating it, Melissa will survive the onslaught and will be able to deliver a crushing response. Thus, skillfully playing for her turns Roger from a hunter into a victim.
Ruby
Ruby is an agile fighter with an abundance of control, and that’s what makes her the perfect counterpick to Roger. Her passive skill is Let’s Dance! It allows you to make short jumps after using skills, which means it will be extremely difficult for Roger to get her with direct attacks.
In battle, it is important to build combos correctly. You can start with Be Good! to dramatically shorten the distance, then apply Don’t Run, Wolf King! and stun the enemy. If Roger tries to escape, the I’m Offended ultimate will prevent him from escaping and keep him within the team’s reach. Thus, Ruby is able to literally restrict his movements and prevent him from realizing mobility.
In her equipment, items for protection and reduction of recharge are suitable for her. Dominance Ice will make it even stronger and allow you to control Roger more often, while Bruteforce Breastplate will increase survival and skill rollback speed. As a result, Ruby turns into an inconvenient and very dangerous opponent for Deer Wolf Hunter.
Her control and agility provide tremendous value to the team, and with proper practice, she is able to consistently break Roger’s aggression and lead her allies to victory.
