- New explanations provided to the Mana changes in heroes.
- Revamped heroes like Granger, Hanzo are being worked on!
- More balance changes are being done on the physical heroes
There are several complaints from everyone on the balance concerns about the removal of Mana for physical heroes. The developers have many ways to restore Mana in MLBB, such as returning to base, Common Emblems, Demon Boots, Enchanted Talisman, and other equipment. Most physical heroes have no Mana issues after purchasing Demon Boots or equipping Common Emblems. We will talk more about the Mana changes, the balance changes for physical heroes, and more in Mobile Legends: Bang Bang (MLBB). Let us break down the Patch 1.9.14 Update in Mobile Legends!
Mobile Legends Patch 1.9.14 Update: Mana changes, Hero balance changes and more
On the Official Server, Alpha with Demon Boots or equipped with Common Emblems never runs out of Mana and can use skills without restrictions. Removing his Mana gives a free pair of Demon Boots, allowing you to purchase other boots while still using skills without restrictions. Therefore, the enhancement can be quantified and controlled.
Devs can understand that removing Alpha’s Mana will not enhance him more than the attribute strength provided by a pair of boots or some Emblems. Now, let’s talk about returning to base to restore Mana. MLBB matches are normally at a fast pace, and they have given most Fighter and Tank heroes ways to sustain their HP. Devs don’t want them to return to base frequently.
Mana restoration is the real problem
However, they lack ways to restore Mana, which often results in a hero with full HP but empty Mana, forcing them to return to base for replenishment. For another example, Franco‘s Passive allows him to recover HP when out of combat, but he can’t restore Mana. Even with full HP, he needs to return to base, which is something the devs don’t want to see. Chip‘s similar issue will be addressed in a future update.
In future physical Hero designs and modifications, if devs need to limit their skill-casting frequency, devs will try to add Energy, Rage, or other resource types that cannot be replenished through equipment and Emblems.

Mobile Legends Patch 1.9.14 Update: Hero Adjustments
Lolita (Buffed)
After comprehensively considering players’ feedback in the community and Lolta’s performance data following the adjustment, devs believe that the previous adjustments had too significant of an impact on Lolita. Therefore, devs have decided to revert last week’s adjustments to Lolta’s Passive and Skill 2.
However, devs still aim to balance Lolita’s different builds, making her a Support and Tank rather than a Mage with full magic equipment. As a result, devs have adjusted the calculation method for her Passive shield.
Devs will continue to monitor Lolita’s performance and consider future adjustments, aiming to ultimately find a balance between her win rate and pick rate.
Passive (~)
Devs have reverted last week’s adjustments to Lolita’s Passive.
Shield of Each Stack: 80 +16*Hero Level +60% Total Magic Power >> 10 +3% Total HP +25% Total Magic Power
Skill 2 (↑)
- Shield Damage Absorption: 500-1000 +20% Extra Max HP >> 1000-2000 +15% Total HP
- Cooldown: 15s at all levels >> 15-12.5s
Zhuxin (Adjusted)
Zhuxin’s minion clearing ability is weak, while his control potential in teamfights is too high. Devs aim to address this issue.

Ultimate (~)
- Casting no longer consumes Mana.

Devs are pleased that the recent adjustments to Cyclops have been well-received. They will try to further optimize his control experience.
