Limited-time modes

Arcade Mode

A rotation of special and festive modes — Magic Hunt, Survival and other variants — available for a limited time.

Arcade modes are an additional game mode in Mobile Legends: Bang Bang that can be played from time to time during special events, holidays, or occasions. The mode features various strategy-based subgames, listed below.

Mayhem

Intense, fast and exciting 5v5 arcade!

In the past, this game didn't really have an official name. This game mode was first released and it was simply the Summer Carnival that arrived and contained consumables to improve the heroes' skills, with a modified map corresponding to Summer. During Halloween, this mode returned with the same features as Summer Carnival, modified skills, bonus candies, and Halloween-themed map. Then Christmas came and the mode had the same features; However, even though the map was changed to fit Christmas, the candies were kept as consumables. And then Easter came. Finally, Mayhem mode was introduced: this time the game mode had no consumables, but it had modified skills and map changes.

There are only 50 heroes available in this mode.

Mirror

Duels of the same hero but using different tactics!

Mirror mode uses the same map as Bruno Cup Mayhem mode (in fact, the map layout, Lord and minions have the same theme), however, during the selection phase, in each team, players will vote for one from six randomly chosen heroes. Whoever gets the most votes will be the hero chosen for their entire team. Similar to Mayhem mode, players will start at hero level 4 and receive 900 gold. As in all game modes, the objective is to destroy the enemy base.

Survival

Will you be the one who lasts until the last?

Survival is similar to any other Battle Royale game, but with a few tweaks to fit Mobile Legends. Survival only works with teams of 3 players in a 99 player battle (33 teams) and the map will not be the Heavenly Palace or the Western Expanse, as in other game modes, instead it will be set on a single map, Minos' Labyrinth, which is a very large map to accommodate 99 players. Survival only offers 15 selectable heroes, dividing them into three groups of 5: Physical, Magic and Defense. Looting in this game mode is different from Battle Royales: you have to kill Creeps/Jungle Monsters to make them drop items, and there are 4 new Creeps in this game mode, each with different chances of dropping items for the three categories.

Enter Eruditio and strive to be the last one standing.

In recent times, a most fascinating competition, whose popularity is growing day by day, has taken Eruditio by storm. Known as “Survival: Nexus,” it attracts participants from across Eruditio. Convenient terminals allow participants to control Beatrix's virtual avatars using only their brain waves, immersing themselves in a virtual realm. Here they can participate in a tactical competition in which the last player standing receives a huge reward. Seize your chance while you can, adventurers, and join Survival: Nexus!

Battle to the death

Play different heroes in one match!

This is another type of game in Mobile Legends, selection is very similar to survival in which the player has to choose a hero from the randomly selected heroes whether he owns it or not. In gameplay, when the hero dies, the player must choose another hero. If two players have chosen the same hero, they must choose another. There are two ways to achieve victory: either destroy the enemy base or achieve 30 victories before the enemy. In 2019, it is released in coordination with the Spring Festival. The battlefield therefore rises to the occasion.

Frenzy

In this mode, various food items can be found in the mode. By collecting different food items, players can obtain different buffs that improve their hero abilities. Some achievements are exclusive to Frenzy mode and can only be obtained by playing this mode.

Food items can be found where some of the creeps are killed, where some of the special minions are killed, where the enemy heroes are killed, and at supply points inside the house and enemy base.

Evolve

It was released on April 20, 2019.

In this game mode, 15 players are dropped onto a map where they must level up and evolve by collecting gems dropped by monsters or randomly appearing on the map, with the goal of being the last player standing. Killing an enemy player will not eliminate them, rather they will suffer a respawn time penalty and lose experience; however, once the first player reaches level 15 and becomes the "Devil", all deaths are permanent.

Monsters will also drop colored gems that permanently increase stats: red gems increase physical attack, blue gems increase magic attack, and green gems increase HP. Different monsters drop different gems. Some higher level monsters will also drop combat spells to equip; Only one can be equipped at a time, as one is already given upon reaching level 6.

There is no champion select screen, all players start as level 1 “Cells” and can progress by reaching certain experience levels.

Level 1: Cells

They can't attack and have low health, but since everyone started in this state, this isn't a problem. They are also the fastest monsters.

Monsters will not appear at this point in the game.

Level 3: Minions

Once reaching level 3, players can choose to evolve into Basic Minion, Ranged Minion, or Ballista Minion.

In addition to having a different attack and speed, this choice also affects all subsequent available evolutions.

After 1 minute, monsters start appearing. At this point, only blue and red gelatins will appear, but they will not attack players.

Level 6: Minor Monsters

Players will evolve into different monsters depending on the minion they choose. Minor monsters will each have a skill.

Physical course: If the player chose Basic Minion, he will evolve into Giant Mouth or Crammer.

:1. Giant Mouth's skill will deal damage to an enemy equal to a percentage of the target's max HP.

:2. Crammer's skill will significantly increase his lifesteal for a while.

Magical journey: If the player chose Ranged Minion, he will evolve into a Goblin or Crimson Lizard.

:1. The Goblin's skill will throw a very damaging ball of energy in one direction.

:2. Crimson Lizard's skill will create a zone of energy that continuously deals damage to enemies inside.

Route Tank: If the player chose Ballista Minion, it will evolve into Spinner or Death.

:1. Spinner's skill will instantly regenerate a certain amount of HP.

:2. Death skill will continuously deal damage to surrounding enemies.

When reaching level 6, players can also choose one of two random combat spells to equip for the remainder of the match. Possible combat spells are Flicker, Sprint, Execute, Inspire, and Aegis.

Level 9: Major Monsters Major monsters will have two skills, many of which are inspired by skills of existing heroes or attacks that these monsters perform in other game modes.

If the player chose the Physical path, he will evolve into a Gargoyle or Cleaver.

: 1. Gargoyle skill 1 will increase his movement speed for a while, skill 2 will increase his attack.

:2. Cleaver's skill 1 is a flicker similar to Flicker, his skill 2 is his signature delayed wave attack from other game modes.

If the player has chosen the Magic path, he will evolve into a Pioneer or a Statued Chaser.

:1. Pioneer's skill 1 launches an orb that will block enemies similar to Cyclops Ultimate, skill 2 is his poison trap characteristic of other game modes, but in a straight line.

:2. Statued Chaser skill 1 is similar to Gusion's first skill (they will throw a dagger in one direction, and if it hits an enemy, the skill can be used again to chase them); skill 2 will attack enemies in front of it, dealing high damage.

If the player chose the Tank evolution, he will evolve into Statued Shocker or Core Guard.

: 1. The Statued Shocker's skill 1 will enhance his next basic attack, which will stun enemies; skill 2 will provide them with a shield that will explode after a certain amount of time or when destroyed, similar to Uranus' second skill.

:2. Core Guard skill 1 will taunt nearby enemies, forcing them to attack, skill 2 will reflect damage received for a certain time. (Both skills resemble Gatotkaca's second skill.)

Upon reaching level 9, players can also choose one of two passive buffs that last the rest of the match, depending on their path:

Physical Buffs: 30% Attack Damage or 40% Attack Speed

Magic Buffs: 40% CD reduction or 40% Spell Vamp

Tank Buffs: 2% of health converted to damage or recovers 300 HP every 5 seconds

Once at least one player has reached level 9, minor monsters will also start appearing as monsters; they will attack players if provoked and drop more gems.

A “black turtle” may also appear. It can drop large quantities of large gems. Its location will be visible on each player's map.

Tier 12: Hero (Need more info: Available heroes may specifically change based on Tier 6 and Tier 9 routes. More heroes may be available than listed.)

If the player chose the physical path, Marksman or Assassin heroes will be available.

: Sniper: Karrie, Lesley, Bruno, Claude.

: Assassins: Lancelot, Saber, Freya.

If the player chose the magic path, Mage or Support heroes will be available.

: Mage: Odette, Gord, Alice, Esmeralda, Harley.

: Support: Angela, Estes, Nana.

If the player chose the Tank evolution, Fighter or Tank heroes will be available.

: Fighter: Kaja, Lapu Lapu, Alucard.

: Reservoir: Hylos, Uranus, Akai, Jhonson.

When the first player reaches level 13, major monsters will start appearing. They can drop larger gems that are worth more than normal gems, and even equipable combat spells. Large experience gems will also start to appear.

Level 15: The Devil

The first player to reach level 15 will become the Devil. They will get bigger and their stats will increase, but they will move slower and their position will be revealed on all other players' maps. They will also have the ability to transform into a Lord for a time, gaining powerful new skills that resemble the Lord's attack from other game modes.

: Skill 1 and Skill 2, "Lord Strikes": Pounds the ground heavily, dealing real damage to surrounding enemies and leaving a crack beneath their current position; after a while, the crack will explode, dealing damage and knocking down enemies.

: Skill 3, "Spinning Strikes": After charging for a short time, the Lord will spin his hammer, dealing true damage to surrounding enemies in a wide area.

Any other player reaching level 15 will not become the Devil: the only way to claim the title and buffs is to kill the current Devil.

In this final stage, the safe zone will begin to slowly shrink, forming a circle centered on the current "Devil" and forcing other players to move closer to them. the area will move with the Devil, trying to keep them in its center. Now killing a player will eliminate them from the match.

Ravage

Sci-fi style scrambling battle.

The mysterious rift in the parallel universe is gradually widening. A Zlatan airship is about to crash into the Land of Dawn, which would be a disaster and a challenge! Warriors, Ravage is now open. Show your courage and strength to save Zlatan and defend the Land of Dawn.

Ravage is a mode in which each team consists of 5 different roles and fights for the Aquamarines. Each player can choose 5 heroes with different roles before participating in a Ravage match. After the confrontation, each player randomly uses one of the 5 heroes they chose previously.

In this mode, S.A.B.E.R. and V.E.N.O.M. are fighting. As they fight, aquamarines begin to fall around them. The first team to collect a certain amount of Aquamarine will win the match. Being eliminated causes the player to lose all aquamarines, which scatter on the ground. If a player has more than 10 aquamarines, their location will be exposed on the mini-map.

In the center of the Ravage mode map is the only HP regeneration point. Once eliminated, players quickly respawn in the Control Center and can rejoin the battle very quickly. Eliminating enemies and collecting their aquamarines is the goal of this mode.

The first team to accumulate 15 Aquamarines will win this match. No laning, no destructive turrets, killing and ravaging is the goal of this mode! Come have fun, you will be the winner!
