Mobile Legends Advanced Server Patch 2.1.76 Update: Hero Adjustments, Battlefield Changes and more

The latest Mobile Legends: Bang Bang (MLBB) Patch 2.1.76 update discusses the many adjustments and buffs coming to different heroes, as well as System and gameplay mode adjustments on the Advanced Server.

This patch mainly focuses on adjustments for the new Ranked Battlefield effects currently available on the Advanced server. Therefore, let us break down the Patch 2.1.76 Update for Mobile Legends in detail.

Mobile Legends Patch 2.1.76 Update: Hero Revamps and Adjustments

Revamped Hero: Masha (Wild-oats Fist)

Hero Feature: A Berserker who enters the Feral state by breaking enemy wounds. Masha’s core gameplay has been revamped. The devs want her to thrive as a high-skill ceiling Berserker capable of sustained combat, rather than an Assassin limited to split-pushing or burst damage.

Passive – Primal Pact

Masha has 3 HP bars and only dies when the last one is depleted. She gains Fury when dealing damage to heroes or creeps, which converts to HP when out of combat. Masha leaves a Wound on enemies when dealing damage. Attacking from the direction of the Wound breaks it, dealing extra damage and restoring HP.

After breaking 3 Wounds consecutively, Masha enters the Feral state, gaining massive Resilience, Attack Speed, and Movement Speed. Each attack counts as breaking a Wound.

Skill 1 – Feral Swipe

Masha releases energy forward, dealing Physical Damage to enemies in its path and slowing enemy heroes.

Skill 2 – Claw Strike

Masha dashes in the target direction and enhances her next Basic Attack, launching a shockwave at nearby enemies.

Skill 3 – Savage Maul

Masha charges toward a target hero, dealing Physical Damage, stunning them, and knocking back nearby enemies.
