Hero Adjustments, Battlefield Changes and more

With the new Patch Update in Mobile Legends: Bang Bang (MLBB), devs have aimed to improve the combat effectiveness of certain damage-oriented Tanks that have relatively low pick rates in the current patch. Along with them, there are some new revamps in the Advanced Server which will come in the main server later. Let us break down the Patch 1.9.56 Update for Mobile Legends in detail.

Mobile Legends Patch 1.9.56 Update: Hero Revamps

Revamped Kimmy (Buffed)

Revamped Kimmy‘s in-game model will be changing with new skill visual effects on the Advanced Server. Gameplay-wise, devs have optimized and enhanced Kimmy’s skills and passive ability making them much more powerful on the battlefield.

Passive: Aerial Dominance

Kimmy can move and aim in different directions when using her Spray Gun, but cannot lock on to a specific enemy. Kimmy’s Spray Gun attack deals with Magic Damage. Hitting enemy heroes restores Starlium. At max Starlium, Kimmy’s Basic Attacks are enhanced to deal more damage and pierce through targets.

Skill 1: Anti-Grav Thuster

Kimmy uses her jetpack to take flight, passing through terrain and gaining a Movement Speed boost. During the flight, she fires Chemical Bolts at nearby enemies, dealing with Magic Damage.

Skill 2: Starlium Beam

Kimmy fires a Starlium Beam in a target direction, dealing Magic damage to enemies in the path and slowing them down. The beam illuminates the surrounding area, providing vision.

Ultimate: Traction Pulse

Kimmy charges and fires a Traction Pulse in a target direction. Upon hitting an enemy or reaching its max range, the Traction Pulse explodes, dealing Magic Damage to nearby enemies, and creates a force field that slows down enemies within. After a short delay, the field contracts, pulling all enemies to its center.

Mobile Legends Patch 1.9.56 Update: Battlefield Effect Test on Advanced server

The Battlefield effect mechanism is only available in Pick and Ban matches in the Ranked mode, and the battlefield effect for each match is random. After matchmaking is successful, you’ll be notified of the battlefield effect for the current match. The battlefield effect description can still be viewed during the pick-and-ban phase. The battlefield effect will be activated at the 5-minute mark and remain active until the end of the match.

Battlefield Effects: Tested in this Patch

• Boulder Shatter: Multiple obstacles in the map become thinned or broken, making them easier to pass through. Heroes without movement skills can now move more freely.
• Danger at every turn: Existing bushes on the map are extended and new ones are added, providing more opportunities for ambush.
• Overcharge Zone: Neutral Lord/Turtle gains significantly enhanced survivability and damage. When in combat, they create an Overcharged Zone around them, granting heroes within a massive Cooldown.
