Cover-Credits:
The content for the Mobile Legends: Bang Bang (MLBB) Advanced Server Patch 1.6.56 has been revealed. This update has been currently made available only on the advanced server of Mobile Legends and is yet to be released on the regular servers. The MLBB Advanced Server Patch 1.6.56 update mainly delivers balance changes to heroes, including the two upcoming heroes Xavier and Melissa as well as recently released heroes like Yin and Valentina. The validity of the updates depends on how these hero adjustments perform, and as a result of which they are still subject to change and may or may not be implemented on the regular servers of Mobile Legends.
