Aldous MLBB Meta — Patch 2.2.16

Patch 2.2.16 · buff

Exp Lane heroes need to serve as a primary force in early-game skirmishes. Aldous's reliance on Skill 1 stacks for damage forced him to farm passively in the early game, leaving him completely out of sync with the team's pace. To boost his early-game combat capability and income while keeping his core playstyle intact, we've made the following adjustments.

• [Passive] (↑)
• Gains a shield on the 3rd Basic Attack, Cooldown: 5s >> Gains a shield on the next Basic Attack every 8s
• Base Shield: 500 >> 350
• New Effect: Upon gaining a shield, Aldous gains 60% extra Movement Speed for 1s.
• [Skill 1] (↑)
• New Effect: Gains 20% Movement Speed when moving toward enemy heroes while the skill is active.
• New Effect: Gains 5 stacks of Soul Steal if the attack hits an enemy hero.
• Soul Steal Stacks Gained on Siege Minion / Other Non-hero Unit Kill: 10/4 >> 12/5
• Soul Steal Stacks Gained on Enemy Hero Kill: 10 >> 12
• Soul Steal Stacks Gained on Siege Minion Kills by Nearby Allies: 5 >> 6
• Soul Steal Stack Cap: 650 >> 1000
• Bonus Damage per Soul Steal Stack: 5 >> 3
• [Skill 2] (~)
• Removed the Movement Speed boost.
• Base Damage: 100-200 >> 200-300
• Max Damage: 200-400 >> 400-600
