Mobile Legends: Bang Bang Natalia Now More Effective in Beta Patch 1.7.18

Natalia, one of the most popular assassins in Mobile Legends: Bang Bang, has now become even more fearsome in Beta Patch 1.7.18. This update is now available on the advanced server.

For those who don’t know, Natalia’s passive is called Assassin Instinct, which allows her to be stealthed for several seconds after leaving the bush. What’s more, she gains increased movement speed while stealthed and her next basic attack will teleport her behind the enemy. Despite the advantages her passive ability brings, Natalia will be detected if she’s close to an enemy hero.

In Beta Patch 1.7.18 for Mobile Legends: Bang Bang, her passive got a lot better, thanks to its new effect. Now, Natalia can no longer be targeted by basic attacks or lock-on skills when seen by an enemy. This gives Natalia a higher chance of survival, especially if she was not able to kill enemy heroes shortly after getting out of stealth.

Lesley also received some changes. Her Lethal Shot passive has a new effect where critical hits deal true damage, meaning that the damage the enemy receives is not mitigated by armor or damage reduction effects. While this can be seen as a major improvement, this change is somewhat balanced by reducing Lethal Shot’s base crit damage to 140%.

Here are the other noteworthy changes implemented in this beta update:
