2.2.18MLBB Patch Notes: Buffs, Nerfs & Balance Changes

To better accommodate player preferences, we've added custom Setups for the left-hand medium and large buttons in the Custom UI.

Removed the [Additional] option from Attack Method due to its low usage rate.

Players who previously selected the [Additional] mode will automatically switch to the [Advanced] mode.

Thank you for your support! In this test, we've made adjustments to a large number of Card Brawl cards, including value adjustments to several existing cards. The details are as follows:

When the Ultimate is cast and enters cooldown, grants Control Immunity for 4s, plus 50 Physical Defense and 50 Magic Defense for 8s. A kill or assist against an enemy hero reduces the remaining cooldown of the Ultimate and this effect by 15%. Cooldown: 40s.

Damaging an enemy hero with a skill launches 1 homing Planetary Sphere toward them. Each Sphere deals 600 Magic Damage to the first enemy hit. Its damage increases by 7.5% for every unit traveled, up to 150%. After traveling more than 10 units, it also stuns any enemy hero hit for 1.5s. Cooldown: 15s.

Each Basic Attack summons 3 Split Arrows to strike other nearby enemies. If there are no other nearby targets, no Split Arrows are summoned. Each Split Arrow deals 35% of the Basic Attack's damage and applies Attack Effects at 35% effectiveness.

Basic Attacks deal extra Magic Damage equal to 2% of the target's Max HP. With a 25% chance, fire 1 extra missile, dealing 100 Magic Damage to the target and triggering full Attack Effects.

Inflicting a control effect on enemy heroes within 4.5 units creates a binding field for 3s. Neither the caster nor the enemies inside can leave. While the field lasts, gain 20 Physical Defense, 20 Magic Defense, and a 500 shield for each enemy hero bound (up to 3). Cooldown: 20s.

Casting a hero skill has a 50% chance to summon 5 Starlit Spheres that last 10s. Each Starlit Sphere automatically attacks the nearest enemy hero, dealing 400 Adaptive Damage each.

Casting a hero skill grants a 1000 shield for 6s. Gaining a new shield refreshes the duration of the old one. All damage dealt increases by 10% while the shield is active.

Taking fatal damage triggers the Second Wind state, resetting the cooldowns of all normal skills, recovering HP to 100% Max HP, and increasing Movement Speed by 40%. During this state, loses 10%/15%/20%/25% Max HP in sequence every 0.5s, dying when HP reaches 0. A kill or assist during this state reduces the respawn time after this death by 70%. While this effect is on cooldown, each enemy hero kill reduces its current cooldown by 10s, down to a minimum of 20s. Cooldown: 60s.

When the Ultimate is cast and enters cooldown, its remaining cooldown is randomly reduced by one of the following amounts: 30% (40% chance), 50% (30% chance), 70% (20% chance), or 95% (10% chance).

On hit, applies 1 stack of Burn to the target, up to 10 stacks. Each target can gain up to 1 stack per second. Applying another stack refreshes the effect's duration to 5s. Each stack deals 25 (+0.25% target's Max HP) Magic Damage per second. At 10 stacks, this damage converts to True Damage.

Casting a hero skill randomly triggers one of the following: the remaining cooldowns of all normal skills are reduced by 1s (45% chance), 2s (30% chance), or 3s (20% chance); or the hero gains Transcendence for 5s (5% chance). While in Transcendence, the cooldown recovery speed of all hero skills increases to 300%. This effect can trigger up to 1 time per second.

Damaging an enemy hero whose HP is below 50% marks them for 3s. When the mark expires, it detonates, dealing True Damage to the target and nearby enemies equal to 100% of the total damage the target took from heroes while marked. If the target dies while marked, the mark detonates immediately and reduces this effect's current cooldown by 7.5s. Cooldown: 15s.

Every 10s, the next Basic Attack becomes a cone-shaped Enhanced Basic Attack, dealing extra Adaptive Damage equal to 35% of the total Gold earned in the match to enemies within the cone. The cone has an initial radius of 2 units, increasing by 0.5 units for every 2,500 Gold earned (up to 2.5 units). (Melee heroes only)

Casting a hero skill grants 2 stacks of Dragon's Rage, while landing a Basic Attack grants 1 stack. At 4 stacks, consumes all stacks to unleash a slash, dealing 600 Adaptive Damage to nearby enemies. Unleashing another slash within 5s increases the damage of subsequent slashes by 25% and their range by 0.5 units. This enhancement stacks up to 2 times.

Grants Camouflage. While active, grants 15% Movement Speed. Dealing or taking damage removes Camouflage, granting 30% extra Physical Penetration and 30% extra Magic Penetration for 3s. After 5s without dealing or taking damage, re-enters the Camouflage state.

Each kill or assist against an enemy hero reduces the current cooldown of all normal skills by 60%.

Grants 20% Healing Effect. When healing an allied hero, fires a healing Starlit Sphere at another allied hero within 6 units with the lowest HP, recovering 500 HP for them. This effect has a 20% chance to fire healing Starlit Spheres at all allied heroes in range instead. Cooldown: 8s.

After casting the Ultimate, gains 25% Attack Speed, 40% Movement Speed, and 20% Hybrid Lifesteal for 8s. A kill or assist refreshes the duration. Cooldown: 30s.

Taking damage from an enemy hero has a 10% chance to trigger Vengeance, dealing 300 Physical Damage to enemies within 3.5 units. Each enemy hero hit grants 15 Physical Defense and 15 Magic Defense for 5s. This effect stacks indefinitely, with each stack's duration tracked independently. Cooldown: 1s.

Dealing damage to an enemy hero with a skill summons an energy charge at the target's location. It explodes after 1s, dealing 1200 Magic Damage. It has a 10% chance to summon a massive energy charge instead, which has a larger blast radius, explodes after 3s, and deals extra Magic Damage equal to 20% of the target's Max HP. Cooldown: 10s.

Every 10s, the next skill that damages an enemy hero marks the target and their current location for 4s. If the target moves beyond 4 units from the marked location, they are pulled back, dealing 750 Magic Damage and removing the mark.

Casting a skill grants 40% Attack Speed for 3s. After a Basic Attack hits, the next normal skill cast refunds 30% of its final cooldown. This effect can stack up to 1 time.

Every 3 Basic Attacks grants Charge for 6s. Charge increases the direct damage of the next damage skill against the first enemy hero hit by 50%. This effect can stack up to 1 time.
