1.7.94MLBB Patch Notes: Buffs, Nerfs & Balance Changes

After long-term observations, we've noticed that fixed Penetration is not only rewarding in the early game, but also effective enough in the late. On the one hand, squishy heroes are less durable and have to buy extra equipment for defense in high rank matches. On the other hand, the equipment choices will be limited.

Considering the overall increase of hero damage over the last years, we've decided to slightly enhance all heroes' late-game survivability in the hope of bringing everyone a better battle experience.

All Heroes' Hybrid Defense Increase at Each Level: 0.36 (Max Level: 5)

To fit the Adaptive Attributes of the Revamped Emblems, we simplified the Lifesteal Attributes and adjusted related heroes and equipment. There are now only Lifesteal and Spell Vamp. (See corresponding parts.)

Physical Lifesteal: Lifesteal triggered by Physical Basic Attacks (Removed)

Magic Lifesteal: Lifesteal triggered by Magic Basic Attacks and Skills (Removed)

Spell Vamp: Lifesteal triggered by Physical and Magic Skills (Reserved)

Lifesteal: Lifesteal triggered by Physical and Magic Basic Attacks (New)

Hybrid Lifesteal: Physical Lifesteal + Magic Lifesteal → Spell Vamp + Lifesteal

In this patch, we've clarified the Spell Vamp Ratios of the heroes and skills, including 125%, 100%, 50% and 25%. Spell Vamp Ratios that aren't 100% will be directly shown in Skill Descriptions.

To balance the changes made to heroes' late-game Defense, we're making two Percentage Penetration equipment items more efficient against enemies with high Defense. Meanwhile, since they are also effective in the mid game, we're adjusting the equipment attributes accordingly.

In the new Emblem system, heroes can be equipped with any skill. To make the skills suitable for each hero, we're adjusting the following skill effects. Check out more details such as attribute changes in-game. (For example, skills moved from Tier 3 to Tier 2 are nerfed, and those that remain at Tier 3 are also adjusted accordingly.)
