With the Patch 1.7.36 Update in the Mobile Legends Advanced Server being rolled out a week before, Patch 1.7.38 Update brings a number of hero balance changes along with battlefield adjustments to optimize the gameplay for the Mobile Legends players. There have been slight bug fixes other than these adjustments. Let us break down the Mobile Legends Patch 1.7.38 Update in detail.
Mobile Legends Patch 1.7.36 Update: Hero Adjustments
Hanabi (Adjusted)
It has become a lot easier for Hanabi to deal damage with her control immunity, so the developers nerfing her basic attack range to balance.
Basic Attack (↓)
Range: 5 units >> 4.8 units
Skill 1 (↑)
Damage dealt to non-hero units is converted into a shield, as well.
Ultimate (~)
Higanbana blooms upon every hit instead of only the first hit, but the bloom range is reduced and damage decays if Higanbana hits the same target repeatedly.
Layla (Buffed)
Layla has upgraded her equipment against complex battle environments. She can now more frequently attack enemies from afar, but the lighter equipment has also lowered her damage slightly.
Skill 1 (↑)
Cooldown: 6s >> 6-4s
Hits also increase the cast range of her skill 2 [Void Projectile].
Passive (↓)
Damage Increased with Distance: 100-140% >> 100%-135%

Experimental Changes: The developers are hoping that Natan can be more of a fast-attacking Magic Damage Marksman.

- Links’ Slow Effect: 60% >> 30%
- Cooldown: 40-30s >> 48-40s
Kaja (Nerfed)
Kaja overpowers his enemies in the early and mid-game with frequent uses of his skill 1 and powerful passive, so the developers are reverting some of the paralyze effects and slightly nerfing his laning abilities in the early to mid-game.
