Countering Cici in MLBB has become a hot topic lately. Currently one of the priority EXP Lane picks, Cici is a nightmare to deal with due to her well-rounded kit:

✔ High durability
✔ Insane regeneration
✔ Exceptional mobility
✔ Strong crowd control against tanks

Her laning phase is oppressive, making her a complete package in the current meta.

Who Can Effectively Counter Cici?

If we consider hero capabilities alone, X.Borg and Yu Zhong are solid counters—but neither is meta right now.

So, what’s the best non-meta yet effective counter that also excels in team fights?

The Best Counter to Cici: Ruby (Lifesteal Build)

The answer is Ruby, but not the usual full-tank build we often see. Instead, a lifesteal-focused Ruby destroys Cici in lane and team fights.

Why Ruby Works Against Cici?

• Cici is semi-melee, making her vulnerable to Ruby’s crowd control (CC) chains.

• Ruby’s lifesteal sustain negates Cici’s regeneration advantage.

• Constant CC disruption prevents Cici from stacking her passive effectively.

Recommended Build & Emblem

⚡ Fighter Emblem (Lifesteal Talent)
⚡ Core Items:

• War Axe (Damage + Sustain)

• Haas’s Claws (Lifesteal Boost)

• Thunder Belt (Mana + Slow)

• Oracle (Magic Resist + Heal Boost)

Playstyle Tips

✅ Kite wisely—Ruby is squishier in this build.
✅ Chain CC to deny Cici’s passive stacks.
✅ Pair with mobile pick-off heroes (Chou, Jawhead) for better frontline control.

Will We See Lifesteal Ruby in Competitive Play?

With Cici dominating the EXP Lane, it’s only a matter of time before pros pull out lifesteal Ruby as the ultimate counter.
