With the onset of the new Mobile Legends: Bang Bang Patch 1.8.90 Update in the Advanced Server, developers have made some interesting hero balance changes, along with the new hero Suyou, the new MLBB Assassin. Along with these big changes, there will be a few battlefield and equipment adjustments in the game too. Let us break down more on this update.
New Hero: Suyou

A brand-new Assassin/Fighter role-player, Suyou has a distinct skill set that allows for a variety of combos in combat. Suyou’s versatility originates from his special passive, which offers distinct benefits based on how he applies his abilities.
Passive – Transient Immortal
Tap-casting any skill will grant Suyou more Movement Speed.
Hold-casting any skill will grant Suyou more Damage Reduction.
Suyou cannot benefit from CD Reduction, which will be converted into a Physical Attack.
Skill 1 – Blade Surge
Tap– Suyou throws his weapon in the target direction, dealing damage to enemies in its path.
Hold– Suyou charges in the target direction, stunning the enemy in front of him when he stops.
Skill 2 – Soul Sever
Tap- suyou deals damage to enemies in a fan-shaped area while gliding backwards.
Hold- Suyou channels the power of the Immortal to perform 3 cleaves in a fan-shaped area while recovering HP.
Skill 3 – Evil Queller
Tap– Suyou deals damage to enemies in a rectangular area and slows them.
Hold– Suyou shoots a deadly arrow in the target’s direction, dealing damage to the target hit.
