As predicted in one of our previous articles, the Helcurt revamp in MLBB is arriving alongside a new patch update that will make MLBB an Assassin meta.
The Helcurt revamp in MLBB has seen a complete overhaul of the champion's looks and skin. His new passive helps him enter the Prowler state, where he gains Movement Speed and the ability to constantly regenerate health until spotted by enemy heroes. He also gains a brief increase in Movement and Attack Speed once spotted.
While the changes in Helcurt's first skill removed the Enhance State of his ultimate skill, he can now use the first skill to terrify enemy hero hits and quickly reduce the skill's cooldown.
His skill two does not slow down the enemies when hit but helps him earn stingers when in the Prowler state. Furthermore, Helcurt's ultimate skill has also experienced some changes.
While this is a brief overview of the Helcurt revamp in MLBB, you can read all the details about this top-tier Assassin champion in our previous article.
