The trailer video does not reveal many details about the balance adjustments arriving in the Mobile Legends Bang Bang Breaking Waves patch update. However, from what we have seen, it seems like this update will bring more Emblem and equipment adjustments than hero adjustments. Read on for the list of Emblems, equipment, and heroes getting these adjustments.
