Baxia Mobile Legends Hero Guide

# Baxia: The Mystic Tortoise's Heir A steadfast defender of the Cadia Riverlands, Baxia serves as a tank hero burdened by millennia of duty and expectation. ## Origins and Selection Baxia emerged as a Nature Spirit with an innate human form, blessed—or cursed—with dual shields and destructive flame powers. In his early consciousness, these abilities manifested as a wild, uncontrollable force that terrorized the surrounding lands and filled nearby villagers with dread. Baxia himself despised this aspect of his existence, seeing only destruction in his very nature and finding no solace despite his efforts to suppress the flames and isolate himself from others. The turning point arrived when the Mystic Tortoise of the Four Immortals selected Baxia as his successor, a decision that sparked significant opposition from rival disciples who questioned whether one so volatile could shoulder such responsibility. The White Dragon, serving as the Mystic Tortoise's emissary, arrived not to punish the unruly spirit but to mentor him. Over ten intensive days, the dragon taught Baxia discipline and control, fundamentally transforming his understanding of his powers and his place within the world. ## The Age of the Oriental Fighters Baxia accepted his role with solemn determination, pledging to honor the responsibility entrusted to him by the Great Dragon. Alongside other Oriental Fighters, he dedicated himself to purging evil from the Cadia Riverlands, gradually earning respect through centuries of service and becoming increasingly devoted to the Twin Dragons' vision of peace. The tragic Battle of the Twin Dragons shattered this era. When the Black Dragon's Reverse Scale was sealed, three Oriental Fighters fell defending the realm. The White Dragon sacrificed his form to become the Dragon Altar itself, and Baxia alone survived, gravely wounded only through his comrades' final sacrifice. He spent the subsequent ages fulfilling his oath in solitude, performing maintenance and repairs across the shattered landscape before entering an extended slumber. ## Awakening to a New Age Upon reawakening to a transformed world, Baxia discovered new Oriental Fighters had risen to prominence. Though now the eldest among them, he continued his ancient vigil. During a crucial confrontation at the Dragon Altar, Yu Zhong absorbed the Black Dragon's essence. When Baxia attacked in reaction, Yu Zhong's newfound strength easily repelled him, delivering a profound message: the past need not define the future. This encounter catalyzed a profound shift. The shell fragments that fell in that moment—echoing those shed thousands of years prior when Baxia first mastered his flames—represented the weight of countless ages finally releasing. Recognizing that the new generation of defenders could now shoulder the responsibility he had carried alone for so long, Baxia made his decision to depart. As he descended the mountain, Zilong—the Cloud Dragon's successor—saluted him with gratitude for his eternal guardianship. A dragon's cry from the altar seemed to bless Baxia's journey as he ventured forth to rediscover the Cadia Riverlands he had protected for a thousand years, finally free to experience the present rather than remain shackled by the past.
