Mobile Legends Patch 1.7.96 Update Introducing New Hero Nolan

Following the release of the 1.7.96 Patch Update in Mobile Legends' Original Server, a succession of updates has been introduced in the Advanced Server as well. The test server now features a new hero named Nolan, along with some minor adjustments made to existing heroes. This Patch Update focuses on modifications to equipment within the game and introduces players to the newly added hero, Nolan, among other changes.

New Hero Nolan

Nolan, a heroic Assassin character, relies on energy just like other heroes such as Fanny and Ling. There is also speculation that he might be the originator of Layla, an exceptional Marksman Hero; however, very little information about this storyline is available.

Abilities

Passive – Dimensional Rift

Nolan possesses extraordinary abilities that can create a tear in the fabric of space, resulting in a rift on the ground. This rift lasts for 5 seconds and has the power to slow down any enemies who step on it by 30%. Additionally, if two rifts collide, they will explode after a brief pause. This explosion inflicts physical damage amounting to 150 plus 120% of Nolan's total physical attack power and also pulls nearby enemies towards it.

Nolan receives an additional 15 energy for each enemy hero or creeps affected by a rift explosion. If multiple explosions hit the same enemy simultaneously, the subsequent damage will be reduced to 75% of the previous hit. Every 6 seconds, Nolan's next Basic Attack becomes enhanced and allows him to dash towards his target while causing (+120% Total Physical ATK) Physical Damage, also creating a Rift in the process.

Skill 1 – Expansion

Nolan slices a rectangular region in front of him, causing 230/280/330/380/430/480(+40% Total Physical ATK) physical damage and reducing the movement speed of affected enemies by 30% for 1 second.

Skill 2 – Gauge

Nolan swiftly moves towards the intended direction, causing harm to opponents in his way by inflicting 70/100/130/160/190/220 (+30% of his overall physical attack power) as physical damage.

Skill 3 – Fracture

Nolan swiftly strikes his opponents in front, causing physical damage three times. This attack inflicts 100/150/200 (+15% of his total physical attack) worth of damage and creates three rifts. Additionally, Nolan also gets rid of any negative effects affecting him and performs a backward slash simultaneously.

Hero Adjustments

Natalia (Adjusted)

Following some experimentation, the developers opt to modify Natalia's Skill 2 in order to transform her into a faster and more agile Assassin rather than being focused on providing support during team battles. At present, they have no plans of altering her other abilities as found on the Official Server.

Skill 2

• Skill Revamp: Natalia currently throws a smoke bomb where she is standing, which shields her from being attacked by the basic attacks or abilities of enemies who are not inside the smoke.
• Enemies inside are not affected.
