Mobile Legends on PC: Patch Update 1.5.72 All you need to know

April 19, 2021

The annual 515 Party Event is just around the corner, and developers for Mobile Legends: Bang Bang is looking to add, adjust, and revamp a whole list of hero equipment and items. These include a new mechanism that combines Jungle, Roam, and Boots Items, and one new item each for Physical, Magic, and Defense categories. To improve the player experience, these changes are live on the Advanced Server and hopefully will undergo minimal testing to be launched straight into the Original Server as soon as possible. Without further ado, let’s start breaking down the Mobile Legends Patch Update 1.5.72.

Hero adjustments

Revamped Karina

Her Skill 1 has been reworked to also immune close-range Basic Attacks to improve her survivability, where previously it could only block ranged Basic Attacks. Her Damage has been nerfed to balance the changes.

Skill 1

New effect: All Basic Attacks can now be blocked. When blocking a close-range Basic Attack, she will inflict Reflect Damage within a small range.
Reflect Damage: 150-300 +45% Magic Power → 100-200 +30% Magic Power

Ultimate

Damage: 470-770 +180% Magic Power → 450-750+160% Magic Power

Phoveus

Even after the last update, players were still having a hard time dealing with Phoveus, so this update has further nerfed him, with the hopes that he will be easier to handle in the lane and in team fights.

Skill 1

Skill Charge Time: 9s-7.5s → 7.5s-6s
Base Shield: 350-950 → 250-750
Shield Duration: 2s → 3s
Movement Speed Increase: 20% → 25%

Skill 2

Cooldown: 15s-12.5s → 13.5s

Skill 3

Tracking enemies will now show their location at the time the button was tapped, as opposed to their current location.

Bane

His strength is slightly increased in this patch to make up for the updates from the last patch.

Passive

Damage: 125%-160% Physical Attack → 130%-165% Physical Attack
Fixed an issue where you couldn’t cast enhanced Basic Attacks at creeps.

Skill 1

Slightly reduced skill front swing time.

Battlefield adjustments

Damage Calculation Adjustments

Enemies’ minimum Physical/Magic Defense 0 → -60
When both percentage and fixed-value Penetration are in effect, the algorithm will now prioritize the percentage before the fixed value.
All descriptions featuring HP Regen reduction have been changed to HP Regen and Shield reduction. (The actual effects remain the same; only their descriptions have been improved)

Equipment Purchase Adjustments

Added a new restriction that limits players to buying only 1 set of Footwear (if you’ve equipped Retribution, you’re limited to buying Jungling Footwear; otherwise you can buy one set of common or Roaming Footwear)

Jungling/Roaming Equipment

Movement Speed and advanced effects from Jungling/Roaming Equipment are now exactly the same as those from common Footwear; all that has been added are Jungling/Roaming abilities.

Advanced Roaming Skills

Conceal: Movement Speed boosts greatly increased.
Encourage: Movement Speed boosts reduced. The number of increased attributes has been raised, and they are also enhanced.
Favor: New Skill. At set intervals, the next time the hero casts a healing or shield skill, it also restores some HP for a nearby ally with the lowest HP. (Regen skills do not trigger this effect)
Dire Hit: New Ability. At set intervals, the next time the hero damages a target and leaves it below 30%, they’ll deal extra Magic Damage equivalent to a proportion of the enemy’s Max HP.

Battle Spell Adjustments

Retribution

New effect: If you have Retribution equipped, you receive a creep reward bonus while rewards from minions are reduced. Reaching a certain number of creep kills or hero kills/assists unlocks advanced skills (based on the Jungling Footwear purchased), and stops minion reward reductions.
