Vexana was once considered one of the most unclaimed heroes of Mobile Legends: Bang Bang — low win rate, rare choice, little interest from players. But after the large-scale upgrade, the situation has changed dramatically. Her skills were completely redesigned, and it literally breathed new life into the character. Especially impressive is her ability to summon a giant dead Eternal Guard knight, whose size is comparable to the Turtle itself — a sight that is fascinating and frightening at the same time.
Today, Vexana, with its updated skills and powerful ultimate, is able to turn the tide of a team battle, turning from a weak link into a real threat. Eternal Guard makes her game not only spectacular, but also adds to the arsenal of an ally who is able to wreak havoc in the ranks of enemies.
But the updated Vexana also has weaknesses. The main thing is the complete lack of mobility. Dexterous opponents easily bypass her attacks and leave her defenseless. In addition, her crowd control cannot be called reliable: each skill requires precise timing and competent positioning, otherwise the value of the hero in a fight is noticeably reduced.

Three counterpicks against Vexana in Mobile Legends: Bang Bang
Kagura
Kagura is one of the most difficult characters to master, but this is what makes her choice particularly attractive. A player who has managed to tame its difficult mechanics receives huge dividends in high ranks. Thanks to Rasho Umbrella Fleet, her maneuverability, high damage and ability to remove control effects make her a serious factor on the battlefield. 
Kagura shows itself especially vividly against Vexana. Her combinations of Seimei Umbrella and Yin Yang Overturn easily disrupt her opponent’s plans, and competent timing allows her to completely neutralize the dangerous duo of Cursed Blast and Eternal Guard. Vexana remains defenseless, forced to waste spells or try to escape into the bushes. But even there, Kagura is able to overtake her — the umbrella’s guiding power opens up a view in narrow passages and traps.
Kagura’s effectiveness directly depends on the player’s experience and current meta, so the counterpick requires flexibility and constant adaptation. But that’s exactly the beauty of it: the difficulty, the reward for skill, and the depth of gameplay.
Aurora
Aurora and Vexana are heroines who share a similar role as initiators of teamfights with an emphasis on massive damage. But each one has its own characteristics. Aurora stands out with the passive Pride of Ice, capable of freezing enemies and completely changing the course of battle. 
This ability is especially valuable against Vexana. Given that the dark enchantress has no mobility, Aurora can wait in the bushes and catch her on a mistake. One successful freeze and Vexana crashes out of battle under a hail of damage. This works especially effectively if she is isolated from the team.
Of course, Aurora is also vulnerable: lack of mobility can turn into a problem against fast heroes. But with proper positioning, its icy power leaves Vexana with no chance. In the late stage of the game, their confrontation turns into a duel based on reaction and timing, where every mistake costs a lot.
Kadita
Kadita is the queen of the seas and a real nightmare for heroes without escapes. Her skills allow her to quickly find and destroy “fragile” targets. Combo Breath of the Ocean + Ocean Ode + Rough Waves is a death sentence for Vexana, even if she manages to summon the Eternal Guard. 
The main advantage of Kadita is its passive Thalassophobia. Due to the restoration of her health, she is able to survive even after tough opponent combinations and continue to attack. This survivability makes it a reliable and easy choice against Vexana.
By choosing Kadita, the player gets a confident tool to neutralize the dark enchantress. She easily shortens the distance, interrupts attacks and is able to impose her tempo. In battle, her vivid presence and swift strikes create a spectacular sight, emphasizing the power of the sea element.
