Roger (Buffed)
Roger, the formidable fighter with a unique ability to transform into a wolf, has received a well-deserved buff. The developers have recognized Roger’s tactical importance in matches where his team holds a significant gold lead. To balance his performance, they’ve adjusted the damage output between his human and wolf forms.
- Passive (↑)
Roger’s Passive has been revamped: In human form, his Basic Attacks and skills now deal additional damage equal to 5% of the target’s current HP, while in wolf form, they deal additional damage equal to 5% of the target’s lost HP. This effect is capped at 60 additional damage against Creeps.
- Human Form – Skill 2 (↑)
Roger now gains 40% Attack Speed for 2.5 seconds after using his second skill in human form, enhancing his combat capabilities.
- Human Form – Ultimate (↑)
To optimize the control experience, the backswing time after Roger lunges in his ultimate has been removed, allowing him to move or attack immediately after lunging.
- Wolf Form – Skill 1 (↓)
The base damage of Roger’s first skill in wolf form has been adjusted from 300-600 to 250-500, and the Total Physical Attack Bonus has been reduced from 150% to 125%.
Yi Sun-shin (Buffed)
Yi Sun-shin is in for some experimental changes aimed at enhancing the gameplay experience.
- Attributes (↓)
The Attack Speed Ratio of Yi Sun-shin has been decreased from 80% to 40%.
- Passive (↑)
Yi Sun-shin now gains 20% Movement Speed for 1.5 seconds after removing Battle Scars from a target with his skill. Additionally, his longbow attacks have received a significant speed boost.
- Skill 2 (↑)
Yi Sun-shin’s second skill now slows enemies by 50% for 1 second, adding a crowd control element to his kit.
These hero adjustments are set to shake up the meta and offer players exciting new strategies and opportunities on the battlefield. With the StarLight Fest event in full swing, it’s a perfect time to jump into Mobile Legends and experience these changes firsthand.
Harith (Buffed)
Harith, the agile fighter known for his mobility, is receiving some experimental changes to improve his survivability, especially against high-level crowd control effects.

Harith’s Passive has been revamped. Instead of gaining Resilience, he will now gain up to 30% Hybrid Lifesteal based on the number of nearby enemy heroes.
- Ultimate (↑)
Harith’s Ultimate now grants him 15% Resilience within its range, further enhancing his durability in the heat of battle.
Wanwan (Buffed)
Wanwan, the agile marksman, had her dash speed reduced in recent patches to make her more manageable for opponents. However, with the increased cooldown on her control removal ability, the dash speed nerf seemed unnecessary. The developers are now reverting her dash speed to its previous state for a smoother gameplay experience.
- Passive (↑)
Wanwan’s dash speed will now increase more significantly with her Attack Speed, aligning it with the pre-nerf version and restoring her agility.
Tigreal (Buffed)
Tigreal, the formidable Tank hero known for his crowd control abilities, had his Ultimate adjusted in previous updates to make it easier for opponents to deal with.

- Attributes (↑)
Tigreal’s base HP has been increased from 2690 to 2790, bolstering his overall durability.
