The update revamps marksman Popol and his companion Kupa, and introduces a range of hero balance changes, battlefield effects and system and mode adjustments for player testing and feedback.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Popol and Kupa revamp adjusts the companion system and Popol\u2019s kit to improve mobility, survivability and trap utility. Kupa now scales with Popol\u2019s level, inherits Popol\u2019s attributes and item effects, and regenerates health out of combat. If Kupa is defeated, Popol can revive him. When both attack the same target they gain attack and movement speed, and Kupa deals extra damage to creeps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"BIG UPDATE: REVAMP POPOL &amp; KUPA | 2 NEW SKINS | NEW KAGURA LEGEND ICON &amp; MANY MORE\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/X0MziemGhfQ?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Popol\u2019s abilities were reworked. Skill 1 throws a spear and commands Kupa to lunge and slow the target, with an Alpha Wolf Form variant that knocks enemies airborne. Skill 2 calls Kupa back, clears crowd control on the companion, grants Popol a shield and allows Popol to mount Kupa for rapid movement while Kupa heals. Skill 3 places traps that immobilize and reduce enemies\u2019 Physical Defense; players can deploy up to four active traps. The ultimate places both into an Enraged state for nine seconds, fully heals Kupa and transforms him into Alpha Wolf Form with extra Max HP and enhanced effects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Patch 2.2.08 also adjusts multiple heroes. Bruno\u2019s early-to-mid game damage on Skill 1 was increased. Cici\u2019s Skill 1 now scales slightly better against high-HP targets and clears the EXP Crab faster. Hayabusa had Skill 1 and ultimate damage reduced to emphasize combo play rather than single-shot ultimates. Kalea\u2019s ultimate damage bonus rose from 6% to 8% of Max HP. Karrie\u2019s ultimate base damage per lightwheel and movement speed during the ultimate were raised while Skill 1\u2019s physical-attack ratios were lowered. Lukas saw small reductions to HP growth and base physical defense and an extended Skill 1 indicator to match range. Masha\u2019s base HP, HP growth, passive scaling, Skill 1 lane-clear and ultimate damage source were modified to favor sustained fighting over all-in burst. Obsidia\u2019s passive attack speed growth and ultimate shield values were reduced. Sun\u2019s earlier reductions were partially reverted: his passive grants more damage to creeps, his doppelganger deals and survives more damage, and ultimate doppelganger damage was increased. The patch also updates Minsitthar\u2019s Skill 1 description and fixes an abnormal damage issue with Nana\u2019s Skill 2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The update restores and tests new battlefield effects. A Nowhere to Hide mechanic adds pickable Vision Wisps that circle a hero, reveal hidden enemies within a large range, move to reveal revealed positions and now deal one true damage when revealing enemies; some spawn points were moved away from risky locations. Defeating the Turtle no longer grants a shield; instead an allied Turtle spawns on the enemy\u2019s strongest lane to assist pushes and heal nearby allied heroes, with adjustments to its HP and turret durability. Turret gold distribution was rebalanced so turret destruction grants more team gold overall; Inner and Base Turret HP were increased, while team gold from Outer Turrets was reduced and Base Turret gold was raised.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">System and mode tests include a new Team-Up feature in the Team Lobby that lists compatible teams and lets players make rank-up or casual lobbies public. Card Brawl received card adjustments, several new cards and shorter respawn timers to speed match pacing. Survival Mode was revamped with boss and Annihilation Tide respawn changes, reduced monster damage, adjusted item drop rates and bug fixes addressing match result displays and premature settlements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The patch is active on the Advanced Server for testing. Player feedback collected there will inform further refinements before any wider release.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Patch 2.2.08 on Mobile Legends&#8217; Advanced Server
