Mobile Legends Test Server Patch 2.2.28: Aldous and Kaja Buffed
Patch 2.2.28 has arrived on the Mobile Legends: Bang Bang test server, introducing a new round of balance adjustments for heroes and items. The update features nerfs for Masha and Atlas, alongside buffs for Aldous, Kaja, and Gloo.
The developers have targeted Masha's late-game sustain, reducing the bonus to additional physical attack from her passive skill. However, her ultimate received a boost, with base damage increasing from 240–480 to 300–600.
For Aldous, the focus shifted from his first skill to his second; the cooldown is now fixed at 9.5 seconds, and damage reduction has been increased to a range of 30–55%. Meanwhile, Kaja gains improved mobility and more ways to extend his hovering state, as basic attacks and hitting minions with his second skill during flight now slightly prolong the effect.
Atlas saw a reduction in the Icy Breath duration, dropping from 5 to 4 seconds to prevent frequent crowd control. Melissa also underwent a partial reversion of previous changes, with her Muddles damage transfer and attack effect inheritance now scaling between 50–60% to restore her late-game impact.
Item adjustments include a buff to Cursed Helmet, which now reduces attacker attack speed by 80% to better counter high-attack-speed heroes. Conversely, Antique Cuirass was enhanced, increasing physical damage reduction from 6% to 8%.
Additionally, the gold reward from siege minions on the Gold Lane has been increased from 40% to 60%. This change aims to assist marksmen in faster early-game farming, addressing the trend of fighters occupying the Gold Lane in professional play and high-level ranked matches.
