The Beta Patch 1.6.70 for Mobile Legends: Bang Bang is somewhat interesting, to say the least. That’s because developers from Moonton Studios implemented some risky balancing changes to certain heroes, including the newly introduced Scarlet Raven Julian, Akai, Natan, Aamon, Fanny, and Benedetta. This update is now available on the game’s advanced server.
Julian was released in the last beta update and he has a pretty interesting kit. The devs feel that he needs some balancing because he deals a bit more damage than they had hoped.
For one, his base attack speed took a considerable dip as it has been reduced from 109.5% to 99.5%. His Smith’s Legacy passive has some notable changes as well. First, its cooldown is increased to eight seconds (with the skill lock time still unchanged). Second, it now correctly benefits from Julian’s cooldown reduction. Third, it grants extra Spell Vamp for five seconds each time he hits a non-minion enemy with his skills (stacks up to three times). However, and this is a big one, his enhanced basic attacks no longer restore HP on hit, which means you have to think twice when engaging in risky maneuvers.
A new and improved Akai is introduced in Beta Patch 1.6.70 as well. This time, his early game survivability and damage have been increased slightly. His Tai Chi passive damage calculation, for example, has been changed to 100 + 5% of his max HP. His shield’s damage calculation has also been adjusted to 70 + 5% of his max HP.
