Mobile Legends: Bang Bang Test Server Patch 2.2.24: Changes to Belerick, Popol and Kupa, Lunox, and Freya
The latest Mobile Legends: Bang Bang Patch 2.2.24 for the test server introduces balance adjustments for four heroes. Belerick and Lunox receive nerfs, while Popol and Kupa and Freya undergo adjustments aimed at improving their performance and gameplay experience.
Hero Balance Adjustments
Belerick has been targeted for a nerf due to his exceptional durability compared to other tanks in the current meta. Developers have reduced the bonus HP gained from equipment or emblems in his passive ability from 30% to 20%.
Lunox also sees a reduction in early-game impact. While maintaining her late-game potential, the damage from her Power of Chaos ultimate has been lowered from 250–450 (+100% Total Magic Power) to 150–300 (+135% Total Magic Power).
Mechanic Overhaul for Popol and Kupa and Freya
Significant changes have been applied to Popol and Kupa to enhance their early-game jungle performance and synergy on the Gold Lane. The passive no longer grants Kupa 150% damage against creeps, but instead introduces 80–120 additional true damage to creeps based on level. The previous 10% Attack Speed and 5% Movement Speed bonuses from shared attacks have been replaced by a new marking mechanic: attacking a marked target grants the partner 5–8% Attack Speed and 2–5% Movement Speed (stacking up to 5 times). Additionally, the Rage state ultimate now provides a 10–30% Attack Speed bonus instead of doubling previous passive bonuses.
Freya's HP regeneration has been adjusted to shift her sustain levels. Her base HP regeneration is now set to 20 + 3 × Hero Level, down from a flat 40, affecting her survivability in both early and late game stages.
