2.2.16MLBB Patch Notes: Season 42 Buffs, Nerfs & Balance Changes

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.

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

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

Slightly reduced minions' Gold reward growth over time.

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

Cooldown: 16-13s >> 13-10s

The 2026 Annual Map Change officially begins on 09/28 (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:

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.

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.

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

All heroes' Enhanced Basic Attacks triggered by their own skills can now hit Turrets and apply their HP Regen effects.

Any exceptions will be clearly noted in the corresponding skill description.

Enhanced Basic Attacks from Sun, Argus, Gusion, Thamuz, Dyrroth, and Masha can now trigger HP Regen effects when attacking Turrets.

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

Cannot trigger when attacking Turrets.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

To reduce the length of hero skill descriptions and improve readability, we've replaced some commonly used attributes (Attack, Defense, and Max HP) with simple and intuitive icons.

1. Optimized Minsitthar's Skill 1 description.

2. Fixed an issue where Nana's Skill 2 sometimes dealt abnormal damage.

3. Fixed an issue where the control duration in Gloo's Skill 1 description was incorrect.

4. Adjusted the camera height after Layla upgrades her Ultimate, improving visibility at the bottom of the screen.

5. Fixed an issue where, in certain situations, Lieh's Hybrid Defense bonus would not trigger after killing an enemy within his domain.

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

Added the [Claim All] feature, allowing you to claim multiple achievement rewards at once.

The brand-new TheMLabel skin label is officially launched.

THE ASPIRANTS series is officially added to TheMLabel.

Complete the full collection achievement to unlock multiple special privileges and showcase your collector status.

You can also switch to the series' customization item overview to plan your collection.

Added the label story feature, allowing you to learn the lore behind the skin series.

We've adjusted the unlock conditions for the following three modes:

1. [VS A.I. & Custom]: The unlock condition has been adjusted to reaching Elite rank.

2. [Magic Chess]: The unlock condition has been adjusted to reaching Lv.12.

3. [1 VS 1]: The unlock condition has been adjusted to reaching Lv.25.

Added the Multiplayer Training Camp feature. Access it via [Mode] - [VS A.I. & Custom] - [Multiplayer Training Camp].

S41 will end at 21:59:59 on 09/15 (Server Time).

S42 will start from 00:00:00 on 09/16 (Server Time). Complete Ranked matches to claim rewards, including S42 Seasonal Skin: Popol and Kupa "Flamehide Thane" and S42 Avatar Border "Starward Decade".

We hope you enjoy the game and wish you the best in your ranked matches!

1. Added a display status for items marked "Temporarily Sold Out" in the Auction House.

2. Added the Sale Reminder feature. Add an item to your reminder list, and you'll be notified as soon as it becomes available again, provided you're online and not in a match.

3. Adjusted how owned items are prioritized in the Auction House and updated the related purchasing and usage rules.

4. Optimized how the Auction House list refreshes after a purchase.

1. Optimized the red dot notification for unread mail. The red dot will now appear only when you have unread important mail or unread mail with attachments.

2. Optimized the display of important system notifications, battlefield reports, and report feedback mail.

3. Optimized the visuals for mail with attachments.

The Namecard feature has been revamped, giving you more ways to express yourself. Check it out to see what's new!

Tap any player's avatar to view their Namecard and explore its new features.

1. Model / Portrait Display: The new Namecard lets you showcase a 3D model or portrait. 3D models feature an entrance animation that showcases your hero in all their glory. Make your Namecard truly yours!

2. ID Card Customization: Equip multiple ID cards, such as Mythic Medal, Collector, Achievement Hall, Season Info, Live Legend, and personalized info cards. Arrange them freely to show off your best side!

3. Namecard Highlights: Memorable in-game moments: such as earning Legendary or Savage, unlocking skins, and winning tournaments: are automatically added to your Highlights. Other players can give each Highlight a Like or Super Like, and each has its own like count. Show off your best moments!

4. Album Namecard Display: The Album module now supports Namecard display. New content is automatically tagged, so your best moments get seen by other players right away!

To improve the Like experience, we've made comprehensive upgrades to the Like feature:

1. Super Like: Show your friends some extra appreciation with effects that shine brighter than a standard like!

2. Like Records: Added a new page to your Profile where you can view all your like records in one place. You can also like someone back with a single tap.

3. Like Shop: Earning Super Likes lets you build up currency to redeem skins and exclusive banners in the Super Like Shop!

Added a new Highlights Notification area, along with exclusive Highlights Notifications that showcase your own unique highlights.

We've also added several new Highlights Notifications to replace some existing ones, along with new hero-exclusive Highlights Notifications. Check them out in your next match!

We've improved the in-match like experience: the like button now shows which player you're liking, with enhanced notification effects as likes accumulate.

When you trigger certain Highlight Notifications with an ally, you can like each other to activate a series of new teamwork notifications.

Added a new match result screen showcasing your team's honor. It is currently only shown in Ranked, Classic, and MLBB Rising Open.

We've added a new Supreme Medal to reward players with outstanding in-match performance. Earning MVP will also grant the corresponding Supreme MVP Medal. To balance this, we've also adjusted the requirements for earning other medals accordingly.

We also improved the feedback for likes on the match result screen, making it quicker to like back players who liked you.

We now display Highlights Notifications triggered by players during a match, with each displayed icon counting toward the match score.

If there are too many icons, they'll be grouped under a single icon showing the total count. Tap it to view all triggers from the match.

We've added exclusive Protection Point and Star-raising Point rewards for Supreme Medals.

To balance this change, we've adjusted the Star-raising Points and Protection Points for other medals.

We've added Season Achievement rewards. You can now equip them from the Honor Badge screen, or share your Season Achievement level in the lobby and other screens.

Starting next season, you'll be able to carry over Season Achievement rewards from the previous season, including Style Plates, Namecards, and Honor Badges, until the end of the current season.

We've added new Season Achievement tasks and adjusted the completion requirements for certain levels and tasks, making it easier to progress.

The "Announcements" tab will be removed. Important announcements, including patch notees, monthly events, and balance adjustments, will now be moved to the "News" tab.

Announcements will no longer use red dot badges, including those carried over to other menu icons. Announcements requiring special attention will instead be marked with a flame icon.

Once read, an announcement will automatically move to the bottom of the "News" tab, making unread announcements easier to find.

Security announcements and related content will be temporarily removed. We plan to make them available through other systems in a future patch.
