Argus - Nightstalker
32000 BP, 599 Diamonds
Backstory
Argus and Rafaela were heavenly angels that descended into the land of dawn at the same time, one responsible for eradicating evil, the other for eradicating suffering. As Argus went through countless battles, he soon became obsessed with the pursuit of power. One time during the battle heard the call of an ancient being, Argus soon lost control of his ambitions and became corrupted. He was able to gain even more power. Now Argus wanders the world seeking conflict and war so that he can consume more lives with his blade.
Pros
+ No mana costs
+ Has escape and initiate
+ Can beat most heroes in a 1v1
+ Can tank for his allies during team fights
Cons
-Has a disadvantage against heroes with good kiting abilities
- Really long cooldowns
-Bad timing of skills will get Argus punished hard.
-Countered by hard crowd control.
Notes:
Argus is a unique and hard to master hero, you need to time your skills correctly because your cooldowns will be the end of you.
During laning phase, you should focus on farming because Argus is very item dependent, he is useless if he does not get his core powerspikes during the game.
Abilities
Passive - Warmonger
Argus charges his sword when he takes/deals damage, when fully charged, his next basic attack will be two swift strikes.
Two basic attacks are better than one, you can use his passive to outtrade your enemies during laning.
1st Ability - Demonic Grip
Argus sends a demonic hand at a targeted location, enemies hit will be pulled towards Argus. If no enemies are hit, Argus will be pulled to the location where the hand is.
This skill is useful for engaging or escaping. Be careful when escaping with this, although rare, an enemy can block this!
2nd Ability - Meteoric Sword
Argus will strike the enemy with his blade, dealing high damage and causing the enemy to bleed and leave a blood trail which increases Argus' movement speed.
This is also a useful skill on Argus, It deals a large amount of damage and allows you to catch the enemy if you also use your first skill.
3rd Ability - Eternal Evil
Argus transforms into a fallen angel. He gains 5 seconds of immunity and damage dealt during this period goes to Argus' healthpool.
This is the greatest skill on Argus. A well timed ultimate can decide a game-winning team fight.
Battle Spell
You can choose between these battle spells:
Flicker - A handy skill. You can use this for escaping when your first skill is not up yet.
Purify - Might be a better skill than flicker. Crowd control is one of the best counters for Argus, with purify, you can continue dealing damage without being permastunned.
Retribution - I would advise against this skill. Only use this if you want to really focus on farming and getting stronger, while this might be good early-mid game, purify is a better choice for late game.
Basically, purify is always a good choice 
Item Build
Haa's Claws - This gives you more life steal and sustain, this is a great item for Argus.
Rapid Boots - This is the best possible choice for Argus, the movement speed from rapid boots combined with the blood trail from your second skill will make you really fast.
Berserker's Fury - Gives you crits and more damage on critical strikes, a core item for high damage.
Scarlet Phantom - Will give you more attack speed and critical strike chance. It also synergizes with your passive allowing it to charge faster.
Blade Of Despair - A late-game item for Argus, it will boost your strength and make you a good damage dealer during team fights.
Immortality - An important item for Argus, a third life is a good thing. You can trick the enemy in to thinking that your ultimate is down with this item.
Tips and Playstyle
- Argus is a squishy champion during early game, he may need a laning partner. Do not engage unless you have reached level 4.
- Argus has good ganking potential, if you have a team mate with good crowd control, you can easily burst down a hero.
- Don't waste your first skill often, it will lead to many deaths as it has a high cooldown.
- Use your ultimate wisely, it can decide a fight for you.
- Argus is a mobile champion, when using his ultimate, try and escape through walls to deal damage and get out safely.
Conclusion
Argus is fairly new, so the information might be updated after a while.
He is currently the most badass looking hero in mobile legends.
Hope my guide helps you play Argus
