Why can’t you switch mobile legends account from iOS and Android

The Brand Barrier: I’ve been reading a lot of Mobile Legends articles and reading the comments in ML-related videos in YouTube regarding the issue if they can switch their accounts from iOS to Android. Today, we will answer that case and explain it also.

Basically, the answer to that question is a big NO. Why? Rivalry, Apple and Google have been competitors since the dawn of Smartphone era. So how does it affect the gamers of Mobile Legends?

Greatly, since the two are competitors, they have different builds and different setup, making the compatibility issues for switching the accounts from Google to iOS and vice versa impossible.

Further backing up these statements, issues regarding sharing of files in iOS and Android has been long standing and people are still requesting that one day, they would be able to connect to each other. In the meantime, we can only share files using other means, so switching accounts from the opposing app store accounts would really be impossible.

So before replacing your phone, make sure that you got all things in mind if your old games can work as the same as your old one. Especially Mobile Legends, imagine the effort you’ve built to reach that rank.

Your fights that have been proven to be a classic and the amount of time you’ve used to create a strong and fearsome reputation within the game, if you switch a phone with a different framework, all of it could go to waste.

But there could ways to maintain your account using your own personal computer. Stay tuned for more updates!


WE GET A FREE SKIN! Reworked Skin of Layla


As the developers of the game keep enhancing their graphics capabilities, they’ve been updating champion default skins and they’re toiling hard to make it the game better. 
With Nana’s splash art being improved, now we’re being presented with a new default skin of our beloved hero, Layla and it was presented just now in the official Facebook page of Mobile Legends.


Layla reworked

From the video that the game presented to us by the MLBB page, Layla has a new look with the rework. She has a blonde hair and she’s rocking with the steampunk look (oh, for those who does not know what Steampunk is, its definition is a fashion trend that mixes the historical elements with the looks of steam-powered machinery) as seen from her pilot goggles and his cannon that really takes look artistic in a sense.

So what happens to the original skin? Well, the developers have announced that the previous skin will be awarded to the players after the patch has been released. This means that all of us will get a free skin of Layla, this is great because other players love the original blue hair and futuristic gun that the previous default skin has.

So what do you think of the new reworked skin of Layla? Do you rock the steampunk version that she has now (her outfit made me think that it is resembling a maid except the dress is a brown maid outfit instead of the original black color) or do you prefer the original blue one? For more updates, stay tuned!

Bane’s Upcoming Rework, will Bane be pulled back to Davy Jones’ Locker?


With the barrage of reworks coming into play this year, the community has been asking questions left to right with the developers of Mobile Legends. 
Since they’ve talked about on reworking Nana by changing her splash art, this time the spotlight is on Bane and his possible rework.

Bane


Last May 1, Arnold, one of the designers of the game has answered a question regarding the Lord of the Seven Seas. He told everyone that Bane has received lots of feedback and they’ve decided to put him on the list of heroes to be remade.

He said that the problems that lie on Bane are his role and the issue regarding his skill set. First, his role is awkward. Then, they’ve also pointed that the skills in Bane’s kit are independent to each other. Meaning there would be no synergy and combinations to make his impact on the game worth doing.

For this to be evaluated, let’s look at Bane’s skills. His skills involve the passive which every 6 seconds, increases his damage input and makes it splash. The first skill that fires a cannon that deals 330 damage with a splash buff. Second skill that heals up allies and himself and finally an ultimate that summons a battleship to barrage enemies, that’s his breakdown of his skills.

Looking through Bane’s abilities, it would be hard to combo someone with the kit. This finalizes the deal that would send Bane back to Davy Jones’ locker or to put it simply, back to the developers’ hands for the rework, give the devs 2-3 months according to Arnold himself.

What are your thoughts of the future Bane rework? Stay tuned for more updates of Mobile Legends!

Prepared to be frozen! Aurora, the Queen of the North will join Mobile Legends! (+Skills, Skin, & Price)



They’ve shown the splash art and a skin regarding her and her basic abilities. So without further ado, let’s discuss them one by one.

Aurora is a mage that has to focus on dealing damage and slowing down her adversaries. Aurora’s skills usually have slows and her passive freezes the enemy with everytime the energy charge that she’s been stacking has been full. The skin that’s also been revealed in her Nature’s Thorne skin which shows her in an outfit that resembles Mother Nature.

Her abilities include the passive which I stated earlier, stacks energy and when it’s fully charged the next spell will freeze the enemy. Her first ability shoots ice missiles that slow and damages the enemy. Her second skill will also deal damage and slow the enemy and finally her ultimate summons an ice rock monster which will deal Area of Effect damage and of course, slowing them in the process.

New Hero
Aurora– Queen of the North: Price: 24,000 Battle Points; 499 diamonds, 30% off during the first week of release.

Aurora, the Queen of the North

Background Story:
Aurora, born in a windstorm and with a great power of controlling ice and snow, is the queen of the northernmost land – Nost Gal, the dominator of the Frozen Sea and the Guardian of the Land of Dawn. Although they are all on this northernmost land, Aurora never had any interest in the conflicts between Franco and Bane. She was born powerful and extraordinary. As one of the four Guardians of the Land of Dawn, she undertakes all those responsibilities of protecting the world, protecting its border and ensuring its safety from the space-time rifts and monsters. During a horrible plane fight, Aurora lost one arm, along with her guardian knight. After this experience, the young queen became solemn and cold, silent and full of sorrow. When she riding on the wind travels, there's only snow and ice keeping her company.

Skills:


  • Pride of Ice (Passive): Each time the skill is released, one unit of frost energy will be added to hero, when 4 units of frost energy is collected, the next skill damage will freeze the target. All skills can cause extra magic damage to the frozen target.
  • Frost Shock (Skill 1): Fires forward a Frost Energy Missile, when it hits the enemy it will detonate and deal radial Magic Damage and slow enemies down.
  • Bitter frost (Skill 2): Deals Magic Damage to target with additional small scale slowdown effect.
  • Coldness Destroy (Skill 3): Summons a giant icy rock to bombard a designated target location, all enemy heroes hit will be slowed down and receive Magic Damage. Surrounding enemies of the target location where the rock lands also will be slowed down and receive Magic Damage.

Aurora Skin:

Aurora, the Queen of the North

From her kit, she can be powerful whether in a duel and especially in a team fight. She can ensure that the enemy will not escape from her skills and bring them down to the ground. I, for one, is excited to see how she unravels her tricks and techniques in the battlefield.

Her story has also been revealed so go check that out too! It seems that Mobile Legends Heroes have been growing and from these, we can see how the players will adjust to the meta and do diverse tactics to counter their enemies. The future is bright for the game and its players. Stay tuned for more updates!

CONFIRMED: Mobile Legends New Nana Skin Rework


So there’s been confirmed news that Nana, the Feline Wizard will receive a rework on her splash art. Instead of the old one, she will have a new anime-style art which will make her look cuter and make the splash art more accurate.

For a quick recap of the hero, Nana is a cat elf that almost destroyed her home because she does not know the full extent of her powers until the moon elf Miya. She guided her to master her powers. It’s not long until Nana joins her mentor and they embark on a new journey.

First, Nana’s passive skill is Nimble which increase her movement speed. It benefits her greatly as she starts off slow. Her active skills are Boomerang, Morph Spell and Dragon Cat Summons. Her Boomerang deals a significant damage to the enemy while her second ability Morph Spell transforms her enemy to a Dragon Cat which damages the enemy and slowing it down as well. Finally her ultimate is Dragon Cat Summons a Dragon Cat that deals AoE damage and knocks enemy airborne for a second.

With these skillsets, she can have high potential to turn around a team fight but with the incoming rework which may be beside the splash art so skills might be changed. So stay tuned for the further updates coming in the game. Keep posted!

Blood Axe Is The Best Item For Balmond, Alucard, Saber or Ruby


This is the Bloodlust Axe, and I will explain on how to build it, how to use it effectively and what heroes should benefit it the most.

Bloodlust Axe has gold price of 1970, the recipe contains 3 great swords which costs 250, and overall it will be 750 with a recipe price of 1220. The benefits of the item are +70 physical attack and +20% cooldown reduction and these are massive and may help the player it capitalizing on heightening its attack while managing its cooldown effectively.

Comparing to another item Tooth of Greed, Bloodlust Axe has an edge on those heroes who is active on casting spells. Tooth of Greed key point is on the hero is on a low HP, turning the tides of the battle. While Bloodlust Axe can always have the unique effect available as long as it activates the skill that hits enemies.

To use it effectively, the player must select heroes that have skills that target multiple enemies while having medium to low cooldowns, to abuse their skills even further. Heroes like Alucard, Balmond, Saber and Ruby. In my observation, Ruby seems the best hero for the new item as her skills usually contain waves and targets, multiple enemies, making the heal much effective.

Watch Blood Axe Best Users by ShinmenTakezo follow their youtube channel for more.





It is also noticeable that this item with Tooth of Greed makes an ultimate combination of lifesteal as shown in multiple videos by YouTubers. With this new item available in Mobile Legends, this might be a turning point of the Meta. It might shift into something new.
