Mobile Legends Patch 1.6.18: New Content

New Hero: Floryn

A new support hero arrives in the game with a rather unique ability to grant one ally an extra inventory slot and an item that upgrades the ally’s hero’s stats as the game progresses.

Passive – Dew

• Floryn carries Dew’s Lantern with her. The Lantern can accumulate energy each time Floryn hits an enemy with a skill, and both Dew and the Lantern will evolve once the energy is full.

• When at the Fountain, Floryn can share the Lantern’s power with an allied hero, granting them an extra piece of equipment that does not take up equipment slots. The equipment will reveal its true power after the Lantern evolves.

• Floryn’s Initial Equipment: Grants Floryn 20 Magic Power and 5% Movement Speed.

• Initial Shareable Equipment: Grants an allied hero 250 Max HP.

• Floryn’s Evolved Equipment: Grants Floryn 40 Magic Power, 10% Movement Speed, 5% Cooldown Reduction, and enhances Floryn’s skills.

• Evolved Shareable Equipment: Grants an allied hero 500 Max HP and 8% Physical Attack and Magic Power.

Skill 1 – Sow

• Floryn tosses an Energy Seed at a designated enemy, dealing Magic Damage. Healing Fruits will then spawn and bounce to nearby allies, restoring a certain amount of HP for them.

Skill 2 – Sprout

• Floryn borrows Dew’s power and casts a blob of energy in a designated direction, dealing damage to the enemy hit. After a short delay, the energy will deal damage to enemies in an area and stun them.

Ultimate – Bloom

• Floryn resonates with Dew’s power, healing all allied heroes 2 times (ignores distance). The overflowing energy will also deal damage to nearby enemies each time the healing takes effect.
