Patch Note 1.8.44 Mobile Legends: Bang Bang
You could say, Moonton is a favorite game developer Vicigers who are retainers Land of Dawn This still maintains the meta fighter that has been going on for the last few seasons.
In this meta, big heroes with good sustain abilities will be more suitable to be core/hyper.
Therefore, several roles such as fighter and tank have become very popular, especially for heroes who have both roles at once.
So just mention names like Fredrinn, Martis, Guinevere, Baxia, Akai, Barats, Alpha, etc. These various heroes appear very often in various matches, both in high and low tiers.
However, that doesn't mean that assassins have lost their prestige. To balance the existing meta, these "sat-set" heroes were finally "forced" to use tankier builds so they could sustain their push forward!
Well, one of the people who recently got a buff to fulfill the heroes currently in this meta is Balmond! The basic fighter hero finally comes out of the cave!

Balmon in Meta Season 31
To be able to understand the buffs that occur to Balmon in meta Season 31 So, it's important to look at patch note 1.8.44 which was also recently released. From there we can understand how much over powered buff the fighter/tank gets.
Skill 2 (Cyclone Sweep)
The first is the buff given to Balmond's 2nd skill, namely Cyclone Sweep. All Land of Dawn retainers will understand that this skill is Balmond's main ability when engagement occurs.
So, Cyclone Sweep gets a new effect which counts as a big buff in Season 31:
- As long as this "top" skill is active, Balmond will be immune from any crowd control (CC) effects!;
- Balmond gets an additional movement speed effect;
- Even though the base damage is reduced, this reduction is replaced by additional attack speed.
Skill 3 (Ultimate – Lethal Counter)
And what is also not to be missed is the addition of a buff to Balmond's most fatal and finishing ultimate skill!
Apart from the shift in the area of effect (AoE) which covers a small area under the hero's feet, Lethal Counter also cannot be canceled (immune) to any CC effect!

Testimonials and the Worst Balmond Item Build in S31
Items
Next is a build that is suitable for Balmond. For item movement, using Warrior Boots durability shoes for armor is the best choice.
Then the mandatory item for sustain is Bloodlust Ax, which is combined with Berserker Fury. Finally, equip the fighter with Cursed Helmet and War Ax so that he has enough anti-magic while providing additional damage output.
Don't forget to complete the build with an Immortal. For alternative items, Vicigers can also buy Dominance Ice/Antique Cuirass if they are under level or meet an opponent with heal/shield abilities.
Emblems
For emblems, the current Balmond is very strong when equipped with the Tank Emblem. As for the talent combination, Vicigers can use:
- Rupture (addition of 5 adaptive penetration);
- Seasoned Hunter (+15% Lord/Turtle, +7.5% Creep); And,
- Killing Spree (+10% HP & +20% Movement Speed within 3 seconds after eliminating the opponent's hero).
Battle Spells
Finally, Battle Spell, the fighter will be suitable for using Retribution as the core. It is not recommended to use Balmond to fill the Exp position, especially Roam, because it will actually waste his OP potential.
Testimonial
From the build above, based on the reyen that has been tried by the VCGamers team, the damage given by Balmond in the early-mid game is also not insignificant!
Not only that, you can also feel the increase in its sustain ability: the tank's characteristics have also increased drastically! This makes it very easy to snow ball towards the late game.
And with the mechanics it has, I'm sure, even if Vicigers isn't good at hyper, it will still be a good game (GG)!
