Mobile Legends Patch Notes 1.2.44 (Advanced Server)

Happy New Year!

Dear MLBB Players, Happy New Year! Welcome to the first season of the New Year. In the past year or so, we have committed ourselves to providing you with a rich and fun competitive sports environment, and we will continue to push this goal even further this year. In the first update of the new season, we’ve adjusted some of the game's Fighters and Tanks to improve the gameplay experience of using these heroes in battle. We also plan to adjust and revamp other weaker heroes as the season progresses. Later this month, a brand-new emblem system will land - we believe it will make a huge impact and create a fresh and exhilarating new experience for you all! Thank you for all the support you’ve shown us, and we sincerely hope that you have a happy new year in MLBB!

I. New and Revamped Heroes

Note: This hero is only available on the Advanced Server.
Hero Specialty: This beautiful android has a full-map support skill, and can deal dangerously high damage.
1st Skill: [Love Waves] -- Launches love the energy in a designated direction, dealing magical damage to an enemy target and adding a Lover’s Mark (each Lover’s Mark increases damage taken and reduces the target's movement speed). This skill heals when used on friendly targets.
2nd Skill: [Puppet-on-a-String] -- Launches a puppet string at a specified target, dealing magical damage. If the target remains attached, it will be immobilized and take magical damage, with each Lover’s Mark increasing the final damage.
Ultimate Skill: [Heartguard] -- Angela gathers energy to generate a shield for a friendly target, absorbing damage. After a period of time, she becomes attached to the friendly target. Using this skill again, or the death of the friendly target will cancel this effect.
