Mobile Legends: Bang Bang Alice Receives Major Changes in Beta Patch 1.7.16

Developer Moonton Studios launched another beta update for Mobile Legends: Bang Bang on the game’s advanced server. Beta Patch 1.7.16 implements major changes to Alice that put more emphasis on her role as a tanky mage.

For Alice’s stats, her HP growth is reduced to 169, and her mana growth is down to zero. This is to make way for the changes made to her passive, Blood Ancestry.

The original effect where Blood Ancestry restores 50 mana upon absorbing an orb has been removed in favor of a new effect. Now, two blood orbs will appear when an enemy hero dies nearby. Alice can absorb the orbs, and each one permanently increases her max mana by 20. Furthermore, she gains increased mana regeneration for every 12 orbs she has absorbed.

It is also important to note that Alice will now greatly benefit from items that enhance mana and durability.

Beta Patch 1.7.16 for Mobile Legends: Bang Bang implements some item adjustments as well. The trigger condition for Athena’s Shield is changed. Now, it will work five seconds after leaving combat instead of 10. On top of that, the damage boost provided by Glowing Wand is reduced to just 2-4.
