The Mobile Legends: Bang Bang (MLBB) Original Server Patch 1.8.78 Update has arrived featuring a plethora of adjustments for the game. The patch focuses on adjusting most of the Tank equipment in the game.
This update is looking to prevent non-tank heroes from abusing some of the equipment catered towards tanks or fighters.
To compensate for the adjustment, most Tank heroes have also received a slight buff in the MLBB Original Server Patch 1.8.78 Update. This is to prevent these heroes from underperforming due to the changes made to some of the equipment.
Here are the MLBB Original Server Patch 1.8.78 Update full notes and details including hero and gameplay changes.
Shadowbringer - Helcurt
This hero gets a new visual effects overhaul as well as a few changes to his skills.
Helcurt remains in Prowler state, gains Movement Speed, and continuously regenerates HP until spotted by the enemy team.
He gains extra Movement and Attack Speed briefly upon being spotted. Any enemy hero killed by Helcurt will unleash a dark fog that Conceals Helcurt.
When Helcurt is in Prowler state, the skill terrifies enemy heroes hit and quickly reduces its own cooldown.
Removed the enhanced effects during his Ultimate.
Gains Deadly Stinger over time while in Prowler state.
No longer slows enemies hit.
Slightly reduced the sight range reduction on the enemy and the effect duration.
Removed the Attack Speed Boost effect
