All changes in Mobile Legends Legends Bang Bang patch 1.9.20 update: Hero nerfs

The Mobile Legends Bang Bang patch 1.9.20 update will also bring nerfs to some of the overpowered units of today, like Terizla, Roger, Zhask, and more.

Terizla

In the current version, Terizla has a very strong presence in the early and mid games. Therefore, the developer has significantly reduced his early-game power but slightly increased his late-game power.

Passive

Maximum Damage Reduction: 30% >> 21%-35% (increases as the hero levels up)

Skill 1

Cooldown: 7s at all levels >> 9s at all levels

Skill 2

Cooldown: 7-4.5s >> 9-4s
Damage of First 2 Attacks: 135-310 + 160%-185% Total Physical Attack >> 90-315 + 135%-185%-185% Total Physical Attack
Damage to Minions: 60%-100% >> 70%-100%-100%

Also read: Best Terizla build in MLBB

Zhask

The Mobile Legends Bang Bang patch 1.9.20 update has also nerfed Zhask a little. After a series of optimizations, Zhask was a bit too strong. We will slightly weaken his early-game power while simplifying the attribute inheritance rules of Nightmaric Spawn and optimizing the skill description.

Skill 1

Nightmaric Spawn Base Damage: 60 >> 55
Nightmaric Spawn's HP and Hybrid Defense Inherited: 70%-100% >> 55%-100%
Nightmaric Spawn's Magic Power Inherited: 50%-80% >> 55%-100% (removed Extra Magic Power).

Ultimate

Enhanced Nightmaric Spawn's Magic Power Inherited: 90% >> 100% (removed Extra Magic Power).

Hylos

Benefiting from the adjustments to some equipment, Hylos has gradually shown dominance in Ranked matches. The developer has hoped to maintain Hylos's strong early-game performance, so this adjustment reduces his durability in the late game.

Attributes

HP Growth: 360 >> 295
Physical Defense Growth: 6.8 >> 5.5
Magic Defense Growth: 4 >> 2.5
Base Mana: 430 >> 500
Base Mana Regen: 2.4 >> 4

Roger

Currently, Roger is extremely strong in terms of durability, damage output, and mobility. The developer wanted to weaken his survivability and mobility in early and mid games. Hence the nerf in the Mobile Legends Bang Bang patch 1.9.20 update.

Ultimate

Cooldown: 6-4.5s >> 9-4.5s
Increased Physical & Magic Defense: 40-70 >> 20-65

Julian

The Mobile Legends Bang Bang patch 1.9.20 update has slightly nerfed Julian's burst potential in early and mid-game.

Skill 1

Enhanced Scythe's Sustained Damage: 90-210 >> 80-180

Hayabusa

Currently, Hayabusa is extremely dominant in both professional tournaments and high-rank matches. This update has slightly reduced his damage and optimized the striking speed of his Ultimate, allowing Hayabusa to perform many impressive plays in the late game when combined with his Skill 2.

Ultimate

Effect Optimization: Significantly increased the striking speed of the Ultimate at Level 2 & 3 (The total duration for 9 & 12 strikes of Level 2 & 3 Ultimate is now the same as 6 strikes of Level Ultimate).
Damage Bonus: 75% Extra Physical Attack >> 60% Extra Physical Attack

Popol and Kupa

Reduced Popol and Kupa's burst capability in early to mid-game while slightly lowering the creep clearing speed to balance their strength as Jungler and Gold Laner.

Passive

Kupa's Extra Damage against Creeps: 150% >> 120%

Skill 1

Base Damage of Kupa's Bite: 100-190 >> 70-160

Lolita

Lolita will also receive certain nerfs in the upcoming Mobile Legends Bang Bang patch 1.9.20 update.

Passive

Passive Shield Trigger Interval: 5s >> 6s
Shield of Each Stack: 80 + 16 x Hero Level 60% Total Magic Power >> 20 + 2.5% Total HP + 20% Total Magic Power

All Battlefield adjustments in Mobile Legends Legends Bang Bang patch 1.9.20 update: All optimizations and bug fixes

This segment will discuss all the optimizations and bug fixes arriving with the Mobile Legends Bang Bang patch 1.9.20 update.

Optimizations

Following the optimization of Move and Attack experience for Hanabi and Ixia, more Marksmen will receive the same optimization, allowing them to start moving more quickly after each Basic Attack interval:
Miya, Bruno, Yi Sun-shin, Karrie, Wanwan, Popol and Kupa, Beatrix (Bennet), Natan, Melissa (We will continue to monitor the performance of these heroes after optimization and make adjustments in future updates if necessary.)
(Note: Layla, Moskov, Irithel, Lesley, Claude, Beatrix (Nibiru) can already start moving more quickly after each Basic Attack interval, so they do not require further optimizations.)
Players have been consistently providing feedback that some heroes' skill ranges or indicators are not clear enough. Therefore, we have comprehensively reviewed the current status of all heroes and optimized the visual effects for the following hero skills: Gord's Skill Hilda's Ultimate, Thamuz's Skill 2, Carmilla's Ultimate, Miya's Skill Nana's Ultimate, Odette's Ultimate, Diggie's Ultimate, Hylos' Skill 2, Pharsa's Ultimate, Jawhead's Skill Claude's Ultimate, Terizla's Skill and Ultimate, Lyia's Skill 2. We hope that players can now more intuitively and easily distinguish their skill ranges in the game.
Unified the Mana and Mana Regen per second for most heroes with Mana Cost (except Alice, Cecilion, Zhuxin). Some Tank/Roaming heroes (Chip, Gloo, Mathilda, Atlas, Carmilla, Baxia, Belerick, Kaja, Uranus) have increased Mana and Mana Regen per second.
Optimized the indicator of Aurora's Ultimate.
Optimized the visual effects for Aldous's Skill 1 & 2 and Eudora's Ultimate to make them clearer.
Optimized the combo experience of Vale's Skill 2 and Ultimate. The Ultimate will now pritize enemies in the direction of Skill 2.
Optimized the visual effects of Inspire.

Bug Fixes

Adjusted the indicator and visual effect range of the third cast of Terizla's Skill to better match its actual damage area.
Fixed an issue in Mythic Battield where the damage reduction for nearby allied heroes granted by the Outer Turret of the Gold Lane is not increased as normal when the Energy Shield is on.
