Beginner's Guide to Rotations (Gold Lane)

Gold Lane is the carry role in Mobile Legends. New players in SEA often stay glued to their lane for 10 minutes -- that's a mistake. Here's when and why you should rotate.

Rotation Timing

Minute	Action	Why
0:00 - 1:30	Lane farm	Secure first wave
1:30 - 2:00	Take Lithowanderer	Free gold + vision
2:00 - 2:30	Rotate mid	Help mage get turtle vision
4:00+	Turtle fights	Always rotate to turtle
7:00+	Lord setup	Group with team

Positioning Rules

• Never face-check a bush alone -- use first skill or let the tank lead
• If your lane opponent roams, push the lane -- punish their absence
• Always carry 1 Hunter Strike for the movement speed

Gold Lane Core Build
- Boots: Swift or Arcane (depending on hero)
- First item: Berserker's Fury or Feather of Heaven
- Defensive: Wind of Nature (vs physical) or Athena's Shield (vs magic)
- Late game: Immortality or Malefic Roar

Remember: 1 assist in a mid-teamfight is worth more than 2 minions in your lane. The SEA meta favors aggressive rotations. Watch how Filipino gold laners play -- they rotate at level 4 and never stop moving. Your CS is important, but your presence at objectives wins games.
