With the release of the new hero Cici soon in the Original Server, devs at MOONTON Games have devised some balance changes to a few heroes along with some adjustments to the different equipment of the game in the Mobile Legends Advanced Server. Let us break down the Patch 1.8.42 Update of Mobile Legends in detail.
Mobile Legends Patch 1.8.42 Update: Hero Adjustments
Dyrroth (Adjusted)
Dyrroth’s gameplay is simpler after the adjustments, but it also makes him weaker during laning. Devs want him to be as powerful in early and mid-game as before.
Passive (~)
Increased Circle Strike’s Basic Regen and reduced the Regen Ratio based on damage dealt.
Skill 2 (↑)
- Cooldown: 9s >> 12s
- Defense Reduction: 30%-75% >> 50%-70%
- Death Blow’s Damage: 360-510 >> 450-560
Skill 3 (↓)
Base Damage: 650-1250 >> 550-1150
Silvanna (Adjusted)
Adjusted some of Silvanna’s Ultimate values to her Skill 2 to improve her performance in Exp Lane.
Skill 2 (↑)
Base Shield: 250-400 >> 300-550
Ultimate (↓)
Lifesteal Increase: 40%-60% >> 30%-50%
Masha (Nerfed)
Masha has benefited too much from the Defence increase. Devs are slightly reverting her increased durability and reducing her early-game threat to the enemy.
Passive (↓)
- Increased Attributes with 2 HP Bars: 25% >> 20%
- Increased Attributes with 1 HP Bar: 50% >> 40%
Skill 1 (↓)
- Attack Speed Boost: 50% >> 25%-50%
- HP Regen: 10-40 >> 5-30
Lancelot (Adjusted)
Lancelot will be a real Assassin instead of a damage taker in heavy armor, as a part of Mobile Legends Patch 1.8.42 Update.
- Base Damage: 165-330 >> 165-265
- Extra Physical Attack Bonus: 130% at all levels >> 130%-155%
Ultimate (~)
- Base Damage: 400-800 >> 350-500
- Total Physical Attack Bonus: 150% at all levels >> 170%-200%
Yin (Buffed)
Yin’s a bit weak without his Ultimate, so devs want him to release the Ultimate a little faster.
Ultimate (↑)
Cooldown: 60-50s >> 48s-40s
Brody (Nerfed)
Skill 2 (~)
Slightly reduced Brody’s damage-dealing ability.
Basic Attack (↓)
Damage: 140% Total Physical Attack + 45 * Hero Level >> 135% Total Physical Attack + 40 * Hero
Cici (Nerfed)
Skill 1 (↓)
- Percentage Damage Based on Target’s HP: 3.5%-5.5% >> 3.5%-5%
- New Effect: Deals 20% extra damage to minions.
Joy (Nerfed)
Joy’s spamming her Ultimate too often, so devs want players to be more cautious when using Joy’s Ultimate.
Ultimate (↓)
Cooldown: 24s at all levels >> 32s at all levels
Barats (↑)
Slightly increased Barats’ durability.
Passive (↑)
Defence Increase: 2-8 >> 4-10
Nolan (Nerfed)
Developers want to give other heroes more chances to escape from Nolan while improving his own lane-clearing experience.
Passive (↓)
- Slow Effect: 30% >> 15%
- New Effect: Restores extra Energy upon hitting Minions with rift activations.
- Energy Regen: 15 >> 10
Mobile Legends Patch 1.8.42 Update: Battlefield and System Adjustments
Equipment changes
Dominance Ice (~)
Devs want it to have similar counter effects for Fighters and Marksmen that rely on Attack Speed.
Unique Passive – Arctic Cold (~)
- Triggering Condition: Trigger against nearby enemy heroes >> Trigger against attackers upon taking damage
- Attack Speed Reduction: 70% >> 80%
Unique Passive – Lifebane (~)
Triggering Condition: Trigger against nearby enemy heroes >> Trigger against attackers upon taking damage
Black Ice Shield (~)
Unique Passive – Arctic Cold (~)
- Triggering Condition: Trigger against nearby enemy heroes >> Trigger against attackers upon taking damage
- Attack Speed Reduction: 85% >> 90%
Turtle
Devs have added a global notification 10 seconds before the Turtle spawns to remind players to use the River for Turtle fights. Devs have also adjusted the stack logic of the River’s speed-up effects. Movement Speed now increases at a higher rate, but each stack’s increase is reduced.
Scavenger Crabs
Reverted the adjustments made to the Scavenger Crab’s spawn location. It’s closer to one side, but the other side can kill it more safely from the Bush, so it’s fairer to revert the adjustments.
Other changes
- Devs have adjusted Flicker’s default direction from the direction the hero faces to the Joystick direction.
- Developers have created a new Main Interface Hero of Cici.
That’s all for the Mobile Legends Patch 1.8.42 Update!
