With the 1.4.42 Patch Notes, Moonton just released the first Mobile Legends update of the year on their advanced server. We’ll quickly walk you through the comprehensive list of changes, but keep in mind that those adjustments all are tentative. So don’t rejoice too early, not all of them might make it to the live servers! However, you can definitely be looking forward to some great new skins.
Aside from changes to the new Hero couple, Cecilion and Carmilla, Ling finally gets more than just a slap on the wrist. Similarly, X-Borgs base stats seem to shrink with every patch.
It’s also quite surprising to see recurring nerfs to Lolita while Khufra and Hylos, for the most part, remain untouched. Undoubtedly needed though, they tune down Granger’s impact by nerfing his ultimate in several ways. Meanwhile, Moontoon can’t seem to decide whether they hate or like the Damage Reduction on Masha’s ultimate.
