With the hero tests for the Revamped Heroes going on for some weeks on the Advanced Server, almost all the tests of revamped heroes have been completed other than Layla. This couples up with slight balance adjustments for other heroes, and some adjustments to equipment and emblems. Let us break down the Patch 1.7.88 Update in Mobile Legends in detail.
Mobile Legends Patch 1.7.88 Update: Hero Adjustments
Yu Zhong (Buffed)
We understand how important the Sha Residue eruption effect was to Yu Zhong and have reinstated the effect. We have also removed the Sha Essence effect to simplify his Passive and streamline his gameplay.
Passive (↑)
- Reinstated Effect: Sha Residue Eruption. Removed Effect Sha Essence.
- New Effect: Gains Movement Speed when Sha Residue erupts.
Skill 1 (~)
- Cooldown: 5-3.5s >> 7-5.5s
- Base Damage: 220-400 + 100% Extra Physical Attack >> 250-450 + 115% Extra Physical Attack
Odette (Buffed)
Odette has the strongest AOE damage in the game, but her Ultimate is quickly interrupted, leaving her with nothing else to do. Therefore, developers are making it less likely to be interrupted, and increasing the casting range of her normal skills slightly to compete with other Mages. Developers will keep an eye out for the changes and may make further adjustments.
Skill 1 (↑)
Cast Range: 6 >> 6.5
Skill 2 (↑)
Cast Range: 5.6 >> 6.2
Ultimate (↑)
- New Effect: The skill can now only be interrupted by Petrify, Freeze, Airborne, Transform, Suppression and other high-level CC effects.
- Removed the dash on the second-use component.
Valir (Adjusted)
Developers have reverted some previous changes to optimize Valir’s lane-clearing experience.
Passive (↓)
Damage per second: 1.2% target’s Max HP >> 0.6% target’s Max HP
Skill 1 (↑)
- New Effect: Grants 50% Energy Charging Time when hitting Minions.
- Removed Effect: Restores a fireball after each kill.
Paquito (Buffed)
Developers have optimized Paquito’s lane clearing and jungling experience.
Skill 1 (↑)
Hitting Creeps now also grants a shield.
Skill 2 (↑)
Developers have now dealt damage to minions along its path.
Gord (Nerfed)
With the increased cast range, Gord’s Skill 2 can be used to hit targets at the same time as his Ultimate, so we’ve reduced his Ultimate’s damage to the balance.
Ultimate (↓)
Base Damage: 135-225 >> 120-200
Irithel (Buffed)
Developers have slightly improved Irithel’s early game performance.
Attribute (↑)
Base Physical Attack: 118 >> 123
Ixia (Nerfed)
Developers have slightly nerfed Ixia’s early to mid-game performance.
Attribute (↓)
Base Physical Attack: 120 >> 100
Skill 1 (↓)
Damage: 170-295 + 80% Total Physical Attack >> 125-225 + 60% Total Physical Attack
Ruby (Buffed)
Slightly improved Ruby’s performance in the Exp Lane.
Skill 1 (↑)
Damage: 80-180 + 65%-90% Total Physical Attack >> 90-215 + 70%-95% Total Physical Attack
Benedetta (Adjusted)
Based on the experimental and Lifesteal changes from the last patch, we have adjusted Benedetta’s enhanced Basic Attack for new build options.
Passive (~)
Enhanced Basic Attacks are now regarded as Basic Attacks and can trigger Attack Effects from her equipment.
Ultimate (~)
- Removed the initial slow effect.
- Continuous slow effect: 20% >> 50%.
Aamon (↓)
With the Ultimate’s long cast range, Aamon can kill squishy heroes in the mid and late-game from a very safe distance. Develoers have reduced the skill range to expose him to more risk.
Ultimate (↓)
Cast Range: 5 >> 3.5
Melissa (↓)
Developers have slightly nerfed Melissa’s ability to pressure opponents in the early laning phase.
Skill 1 (↓)
Attack Speed Boost: 50%-75% >> 35%-75%
Badang (↑)
Developers have slightly reverted Badang’s nerf in the last patch.
Passive (↑)
Stun Duration: 0.5s >> 0.6s
