Second skill: Phantom Shadowmeld

Obsidia launches Bones of Wrath and pulls herself near the enemy hit. Afterward, she cannot move away from the enemy, and the enemy cannot use displacement skills. The enemy's movement will also drag Obsidia along. During her Ultimate, Obsidia ignores Obstacles and gains access to an enhanced Skill 2 with a longer duration and shorter Cooldown.

Furthermore, the developer is launching a fresh event around these new maps, where you can win an Epic Khufra "Cursed Scroll" skin for free by completing simple in-game tasks. Check out a brief description of these maps below:

  • Dangerous Grass: It has tall bushes spread all around the map, and this is the perfect choice for assassins like Saber, Lancelot, and Eudora.
  • Broken Walls: The walls will be broken in this map, and new shortcuts will be created. Chasing down a retreating target will be easier now.
  • Flying Clouds: In this map, the player's response time will be enhanced by taking them straight into the battlefield. A lot of comebacks might happen on this map.
  • Expanding River: The water from the river area will overflow into the side lanes, providing mobility for heroes into that area. It will be easier for the side lane heroes to join the allies instantly, every time a teamfight breaks out.

MLBB Project NEXT Patch 2025 update: Hero revamps

The developer has promised three Hero reworks in the Mobile Legends Bang Bang Project NEXT Patch 2025 update. Alice is getting a complete rework and will arrive with some new skills in the Land of Dawn after the update.

Alice's wings, horns, and overall appearance have been tweaked. She does not require mana to cast her skills anymore. She now depends on gathering four stacks to attack with full power. She can collect stacks by attacking the enemies thanks to her new passive, but just like Lukas, these stacks start to disappear the moment you stop attacking the enemies.
