Moonton Celebrates MLBB’s 8th Anniversary with Mobile Legends Bang Bang 1.9.20 Patch Update: Suyou Launch Confirmed

The new hero Suyou will be available in MLBB starting September 21, 2024. What distinguishes this Fighter/Assassin hero is the enhancement effects applied to all three of his skills. Suyou is an exorcist from Zhu’an who has inherited the powers of the Immortal Nuo.

Here’s a breakdown of Suyou’s skills:

Passive – Transient Immortal

  • [Tap-casting]: Any skill cast will increase Suyou’s Movement Speed.
  • [Hold-casting]: This enhanced effect of his passive grants Suyou additional Reduction for any skill used.

Skill 1 – Blade Surge

  • [Hold] (Enhanced effect): Suyou charges in the target direction, stops on contact with an enemy, and stuns the enemy at the point of stop.

Skill 2 – Soul Sever

  • [Tap]: Suyou deals damage to enemies in a fan-shaped area, causing increased damage to those with lower HP.
  • [Hold] (Enhanced effect): Suyou channels the power of the Immortal to execute 3 cleaves in a fan-shaped area while recovering HP.

Skill 3 – Evil Source

  • [Tap]: Suyou glides backward, swinging his weapon in the target direction, inflicting damage to enemies within a rectangular area as he retreats.
  • [Hold] (Enhanced effect): Suyou fires a deadly arrow in the target direction, inflicting damage to the hit target.

All Battlefield Adjustments in Mobile Legends Legends Bang Bang Patch 1.9.20 Update: Optimizations and Bug Fixes

This section covers all optimizations and bug fixes included in the Mobile Legends Bang Bang patch 1.9.20 update.

Optimizations

  • After optimizing the Move and Attack experience for Hanabi and Ixia, additional Marksmen will enjoy similar enhancements, facilitating quicker movement post Basic Attack intervals:
  • Miya, Bruno, Yi Sun-shin, Karrie, Wanwan, Popol and Kupa, Beatrix (Bennet), Natan, Melissa (Further performance monitoring of these heroes will help in future updates if necessary.)
  • Note: Heroes like Layla, Moskov, Irithel, Lesley, Claude, and Beatrix (Nibiru) have already received this enhancement and do not require additional changes.)
  • Player feedback has highlighted issues with unclear skill ranges or indicators for some heroes. Thus, a thorough review led to optimized visual effects for skills such as Gord’s Skill, Hilda’s Ultimate, Thamuz’s Skill 2, Carmilla’s Ultimate, Miya’s Skill, Nana’s Ultimate, Odette’s Ultimate, Diggie’s Ultimate, Hylos’ Skill 2, Pharsa’s Ultimate, Jawhead’s Skill, Claude’s Ultimate, Terizla’s Skill and Ultimate, and Lyia’s Skill 2. This should aid players in intuitively distinguishing skill ranges during gameplay.
  • Unified Mana and Mana Regen per second for most heroes with Mana Costs (except for Alice, Cecilion, Zhuxin). Certain Tank/Roaming heroes (Chip, Gloo, Mathilda, Atlas, Carmilla, Baxia, Belerick, Kaja, Uranus) have had their Mana and Mana Regen per second increased.
  • Improved the indicator of Aurora’s Ultimate.
  • Optimized visual effects for Aldous’s Skill 1 & 2 and Eudora’s Ultimate for clarity.
  • Enhanced combo experience for Vale’s Skill 2 and Ultimate; the Ultimate will now prioritize enemies in the direction of Skill 2.
  • Improved visual effects for Inspire.

Bug Fixes

  • Adjusted the visual indicator and range of Terizla’s Skill’s third cast to better align with the actual damage area.
  • Fixed an issue in Mythic Battield where damage reduction for allied heroes near the Gold Lane’s Outer Turret did not function as expected when the Energy Shield was activated.
  • Fixed an issue in Mythic Battield concerning Gold Lane where the damage reduction for allied heroes was inconsistent when the Energy Shield was on.
