Mobile Legends patch 1.7.08 notes: Every buff, nerf, update, revamp

Moonton officially released the Mobile Legends: Bang Bang patch 1.7.08 on the live server on Tuesday, August 9, a few days before the start of MPL PH and MPL ID Season 10.

Aside from the upcoming release of tank fighter hero Fredrinn on August 12, numerous underperforming fighters in previous patches such as X.Borg and Badang have received buffs.

Multiple mage heroes such as Vexana, Faramis, and Gord will have improved stats this patch, while heroes who dominated the meta these past few months like Julian, Karina, and Franco were toned down.

Moonton has not included battlefield adjustments in this patch.

Mobile Legends patch 1.7.08 introduces a new tank fighter hero, Fredrinn

Passive – Crystalline Armor

• Part of the damage Fredrinn receives will be stored as Crystal Energy
• He can convert the Crystal Energy into HP by part of the damage dealt

Skill 1 – Piercing Strike

• The enhanced Basic Attack gains extra attack range and deals extra damage
