Revamped Heroes
As part of Project Next Phase 2, MLBB Patch 1.5.88 will feature revamped heroes mainly Alpha, Minotaur, and Karina. Here are some notable changes for these heroes:
Karina:
The new Karina will feature a revamped character model to better suit her role as an Assassin. The developers want her to be a legend forged in every aspect.
To address the issue of her viability in the battlefield, the MLBB Devs made some bold changes to her skills. Her ult, Shadow Assault, for example, now features casting a shadow in the opponents back. Casting her ult again teleports Karina to the location of the shadow. Her passive now decreases the cooldown of all her other skills upon inflicting 3 marks on the enemy. This allows her to deal continuous damage to the enemies. Her first skill on the other hand now allows her to deflect range basic attacks to produce damage. This also triggers her enhanced passive.
For her gameplay, she still has the reap capabilities that allows her to get multiple kills with relative ease. Check more of her changes here.
Alpha:
MLBB Devs made significant changes in Alpha’s Character Model. He now looks more like an enhanced android warrior, better than the predecessor. The revamped Alpha aims to maximize his potential without altering the combo players are familiar with.
One of the notable changes with the revamped Alpha is his ultimate, Alpha Charge. Alpha now knock all enemies up until the final destination of his ult. This allows players to quickly launch Alpha and Beta’s attack. Get more in depth with his gameplay here.
Minotaur:
Last but not the least, we have the revamped Minotaur. Minotaur’s revamped is mostly reflected in his appearance. His hair is made more vibrant to reflect his “rage” passive and without altering his color scheme. You can also see his rage passive flowing in his armor and enhanced responsiveness in his attacks.
As for his gameplay, his rage mechanics differ a bit from the predecessor. Know more here.
