Battle Spell. Using the Vengeance battle spell on Claude in Mobile Legends: Bang Bang is a specialized, defensive, and offensive-hybrid approach designed to improve his survivability during risky, close-range dives, according to this Reddit post. It allows him to deal 35% damage reduction and return 35% damage to attackers for 3s, notes Liquipedia. While it can be used for extra tankiness to stay in fights longer, it is often considered inferior to Flicker or Aegis by some players because it limits his escape

Battle Spell. Purification allows Cloud to avoid enemy ganks and prevent the ultimate from being disrupted, and thanks to the 2nd skill, Flash is only needed when enemies have absolutely no control.
