Mobile Legends: Beta Patch 1.7.88 Buffs Haas'Claws and Scarlet Phantom

Beta Patch 1.7.88 for Mobile Legends: Bang Bang is now available on the advanced server. Developer Moonton Studios implemented some pretty interesting changes to a couple of items in the game, namely Haas' Claws and Scarlet Phantom.

Haas' Claws is one of the least popular items in Mobile Legends, so Moonton adjusted it to up its appeal. This item now grants a 20% increase in attack speed and critical chance. Furthermore, it has a new passive called Frenzy, where players gain 20% increased attack speed after dealing a critical strike.

It is important to point out that Haas' Claws now only provides 25 physical attack damage instead of 70, which is a pretty stark decline. However, the changes it received in Beta Patch 1.7.88 are likely enough to make this item shine.

For the Scarlet Phantom, the company wanted to reduce the players' reliance on items that provide attack speed, so they adjusted the Scarlet Phantom for this reason. It used to grant the wielder 20% increased attack speed, but this is removed in favor of increasing the player's HP by 230. It now grants 10% cooldown reduction as well, helpful for spamming active abilities.

In addition, the Scarlet Phantom's original passive, Insanity, has been removed and replaced with a new one called Phantom. This grants 10% extra movement speed for one second after hitting enemies with basic attacks. This bonus is doubled when the player's basic attack is a critical hit.
