The latest Mobile Legends: Bang Bang (MLBB) Patch 1.9.50 introduces significant gameplay adjustments, hero revamps, and equipment reworks. Aimed at promoting balance and diversity in matches, the update focuses on empowering underutilized heroes and refining tank viability. Here’s an in-depth look at the highlights of this patch.
Hero Updates and Revamps
Revamped Heroes
- Gloo (Buffed): Gloo has received both a visual overhaul and enhanced skill mechanics. Its second skill now deploys a fan-shaped attack, while its ultimate automatically attaches to targets with full passive stacks, removing the previous split-phase mechanic.
- Hanzo (Adjusted): Modifications to Hanzo’s build options have improved balance between attack speed and critical hit setups. Key changes include a decrease in Physical Attack Growth (from 11.45 to 8) and adjusted damage scaling for his first and second skills.
Buffed Heroes
- Leomord: Improvements to Leomord’s kit make him more effective in combat. His Human Form Skill 1 now deals higher damage to enemies with large health pools, and his ultimate benefits from a faster Barbiel movement speed.
- Kalea: Kalea gains improved survivability through a revamped passive that heals her and the ally with the lowest health during battles.

Nerfed Heroes
- Rafaela: The cooldown for Rafaela’s resurrection ability has been increased significantly, going from 45 seconds to 80 seconds.
- Granger: Although Granger’s ultimate damage has been reduced, its scaling with attack items has been slightly enhanced to maintain relevance.
- Selena: Previous boosts to Selena’s first and second skills in her Elven Form have been partially rolled back to reduce her dominance in matches.
Battlefield Adjustments
- The Lord has been strengthened for mid-to-late-game phases, with a 15% increase in HP growth and a 20% boost to Physical Defense scaling. These changes ensure the Lord remains a challenging and impactful objective.
Equipment Overhauls
Buffed Equipment
- Cursed Helmet: Now delivers increased damage output and features a new passive effect that reduces nearby opponents’ Hybrid Defense by 10.
- Radiant Armor: The stack cooldown has been reduced from 0.6 seconds to 0.4 seconds, enhancing its ability to counter sustained damage from mages.
- Brute Force Breastplate: The Adaptive Attack per stack has been increased from 6 to 8, making this item more appealing for fighters reliant on mobility and sustained damage.
