Patch 2.2.16

In this patch, we've improved several underperforming Jungler and Exp Lane heroes to help them perform better.

To celebrate MLBB's 10th anniversary, this patch also features a comprehensive art overhaul for several iconic heroes from different regions, including Masha, Bruno, Paquito, Kadita, Clint, Luo Yi, Brody, and Badang. We've also revamped and optimized the skill mechanics for Masha and Bruno.

1. 10th Anniversary Revamped Hero: Masha, the Wild-oats Fist

Hero Feature: A Berserker who enters the Feral state by breaking the enemy's wound. Masha's core gameplay has been revamped. We want her to thrive as a high-skill ceiling Berserker capable of sustained combat, rather than an Assassin limited to split-pushing or burst damage.

Passive - Primal Pact Masha has 3 HP bars and dies only when the last one is depleted. Masha gains Feral when dealing damage to heroes or creeps. Feral converts to HP when out of combat. Masha leaves a Wound on the enemy when dealing skill damage to them. Attacking again with a Basic Attack from the direction of the Wound will break it, putting Masha into the Feral state. While in the Feral state, her next 3 Basic Attacks become wide-range claw strikes, and she gains massive Resilience, Attack Speed, and Movement Speed.

Skill 1 - Feral Swipe Masha releases energy forward, dealing Physical Damage to enemies in its path and slowing enemy heroes.

Skill 2 - Claw Strike Masha dashes in the target direction, unleashing a wide-range claw strike upon reaching max range or colliding with a non-minion enemy unit. This skill's cooldown resets each time she loses a life.

Ultimate - Savage Maul Masha charges toward the target hero, dealing Physical Damage and stunning them, while knocking back nearby enemies.

2. 10th Anniversary Revamped Hero: Bruno, The Protector

Hero Feature: A Marksman who deals massive damage to enemies by continuously kicking powerballs.

We've made several optimizations to Bruno. While preserving his core identity, we've improved his controls and made adjustments across his kit. These changes make him a more agile and formidable striker.

Skill 1 - Volley Shot ADJUST ~ We believe the original Volley Shot placed too much burden on players. In the current environment, players might fail to pick up the Powerball even after planning their movement and positioning correctly. Therefore, we've optimized it.

[Controls Optimizations]

• a. The landing distance of Powerball now scales with Bruno's Movement Speed.
• b. The Movement Speed boost is now granted when kicking the Powerball instead of upon dealing damage.
• c. The Movement Speed boost now decays over time.
• d. The landing position of Powerball will no longer cross walls.
• e. Powerball can now be cast even when affected by control effects (except Silence).
• f. Powerball now remains on the ground for 3s, up from 2s. Multiple Powerballs can now be retrieved separately.
• g. Fixed an issue where Bruno would occasionally lose a Powerball while performing his two-Powerball combo.
• h. Now casting the skill no longer interrupts Basic Attacks.

[Stat Adjustments]

• Base Damage: 100-225 → 75-150
• Mana Cost: 60-85 → 50-75

Skill 2 - Slide BUFF ↑ We believe the original skill effect might lead players into relatively dangerous positions. Therefore, we've redesigned the skill to focus more on assisting players with pursuit or escape.

[Controls Optimizations]

• a. Adjusted the default direction of dash effects to the joystick's direction.
• b. Now, when Bruno's Powerball begins to bounce back after dealing damage while he is sliding with Flying Tackle, it will tend to land near his dash destination instead of his starting position.

[Mechanics Optimizations] Removed Powerball's pullback effect. Bruno now gains a Powerball when his slide ends.

[Stat Adjustments]

• Removed the damage effect.
• Stun Duration: 0.5s → 0.1s
• Cooldown: 7s at all levels → 9-7s
• Mana Cost: 60 → 90

Ultimate - Worldie BUFF ↑ We believe the original skill had too many effects, making it difficult to understand and use correctly. Therefore, we've redesigned the skill to focus on initiating team fights from a distance and rapidly gaining Passive stacks.

[Mechanics Optimizations]

• a. It now applies a brief stun and a massive decaying slow effect on the first target hit, and no longer reduces Physical Defense.
• b. Optimized the knockback effect on the first target hit. The target will now be knocked back to Bruno's maximum attack range. Knockback & Stun Duration: 0.1s → 0.5s
• c. Energy Ball now prioritizes enemy heroes when bouncing between enemy units.

[Stat Adjustments]

• Cast Range: 5.6 → 6
• First Hit Damage (Base Damage): 250-450 (+ 83% Total Physical Attack) → 200-400 (+80% Total Physical Attack)
• Bounce Damage (Extra Damage): 150-270 (+50% Total Physical Attack) → 100-200 (+40% Total Physical Attack)

A. In-Match Economy

We've found that matches in the current patch are too fast-paced, making it difficult for teams that fall behind to make a comeback. To address this, we've adjusted battlefield gold income and comeback mechanics for disadvantaged teams.

[Creep] NERF ↓

• Reduced the Base Gold of the Horned Lizard, Fire Beetle, and Lava Golem by 13%

[Team Bounty] ADJUST ~

• Gold Deficit Required to Gain Bonus Gold from Enemy Hero Kills: 2,000 → 1,500

[Minions] NERF ↓

• Slightly reduced minions' Gold reward growth over time.

B. Mythical Honor Battlefield

Edith NERF ↓

• Reverted skill values to match those outside the Mythical Honor Battlefield.

Tigreal BUFF ↑

• Cooldown: 16-13s → 13-10s

C. Map Changes Update

The 2026 Annual Map Change officially begins on September 28 (Server Time). This update introduces [Revealing Wisps], [Healing Turtle], and [Golden Turret], along with [Flying Cloud], which now features an upgraded art visual effect. Once this goes live, you can check out the full details in the in-game Battlefield Overview tab. Here's a quick overview:

[Revealing Wisps] Pickable Vision Wisps are available across the map. Upon picking one up, the wisp circles around the hero for several seconds. If there are hidden enemy heroes within a large range, the wisp will move to their location and reveal them for several seconds.

[Healing Turtle] Defeating the Turtle no longer grants a shield. Instead, an allied Turtle will spawn on the enemy's strongest lane to help push it. Allied heroes near the allied Turtle will recover HP rapidly and gain Turtle companions to help push turrets.

[Golden Turret] Greatly increased the Gold shared to the entire team when any Turret is destroyed. Inner Turret and Base Turret HP are also increased.

D. Adjusted Turret Interactions for Enhanced Basic Attacks

[Hero Enhanced Basic Attacks]

• 1. All heroes' Enhanced Basic Attacks triggered by their own skills can now hit Turrets and apply their HP Regen effects.
• 2. Any exceptions will be clearly noted in the corresponding skill description.
• 3. Enhanced Basic Attacks from Sun, Argus, Gusion, Thamuz, Dyrroth, and Masha can now trigger HP Regen effects when attacking Turrets.

[Other Enhanced Basic Attacks]

• 1. Enhanced Basic Attack effects from Emblems, Battle Spells, and Equipment cannot trigger when attacking Turrets.

[Quantum Charge]

• 1. Cannot trigger when attacking Turrets.
• 2. When using Inspire to attack Turrets, the Attack Speed boost and defense-ignoring effect still apply, but the HP Regen effect will not trigger.

E. Control Settings Update

We are now factoring in the attacker's Penetration along with the target's Defense and HP to prioritize locking onto the target that is actually the easiest to kill, rather than just the one with the lowest HP.

As a result, in the Targeting Priority options, "Lowest HP" has been optimized to "Lowest Effective HP".

Special Note: Since a large portion of Karina, Karrie, Lesley, and Thamuz's damage is True Damage, they will continue to use the "Lowest HP" targeting rule even when "Lowest Effective HP" is selected.

The original "Closest Target" and "Lowest HP Percent" options remain unchanged. Heroes using these options will not be affected.

F. Basic Attack Targeting Optimizations

We've optimized the targeting mechanics for Basic Attack pursuit, reducing cases where ranged heroes repeatedly switch targets between minions and enemy heroes when pursuing enemies outside their Basic Attack range.

After a Basic Attack hits a hero, tapping the Basic Attack button repeatedly within a short time will now prioritize pursuing and re-attacking that same target, unless a higher-priority enemy hero is within Basic Attack range.

G. Movement Control Optimizations

Added a landing indicator for all dash skills passing through obstacles.

H. Sanctum Island Map Updates

We've fully revamped the art assets for Sanctum Island's scene, lord, and base. The new map now offers better visuals while keeping performance nearly on par with the original. This update takes effect immediately, so please make sure all resources are downloaded before entering the game for the complete experience.
