Saber's deadly combo makes him strong against squishy heroes, such as Layla and Eudora.
No written guide for Saber yet.
Ask for a guide →Patch 2.1.90 / Season 41 is live on the official server — 40+ heroes touched, plus system and item reworks.



+8New hero Hirara (#133) — an assassin with only 2 skills and NO ultimate, called unique in the entire game and "difficult." (Same hero teased in Kazuki's recent creator-contest video — the kit detail is new.)



+6Vexana Zenith optimization is on the dev list (firmest item). After complaints about hair quality (behind Zenith Selena), weak skill SFX, and less-luxurious VFX, MLBB devs replied "We will consider optimizing this skin" — confirming it entered the optimization-consideration list. No schedule yet.



+10Reworked toward a fighter. Basic attacks that land sword hits now also reduce Skill 1's cooldown (previously they only reduced Skill 2's dash), so S1 can be cast far more often, especially with max CDR; to compensate, S1's base cooldown is raised and its duration shortened, while S1 damage is up and its mana cost down. The ultimate gains higher base damage but lower scaling, so Saber leans less on full-damage items and can build some defense. He also gets higher HP and defense growth to stay tankier and survive longer in fights.
