Mobile Legends

• Recently Mobile Legends released a new Mage Hero called Lunox the Twilight Goddess
• So let's breakdown the skills and abilities
  • First off Lunox uses a dual energy system that allows her to change playstyle based on the conditions
  • for example she has Chaos for damage and Order for support
  • so wala ka ng excuse
  • So for her passive skill Dreamland Twist, Lunox does not benefit from cooldown reduction effects however whenever she is filled with darkness energy sha gains magic penetration
  • then if she gets light energy she gains magic and physical resistance
  • For her first skill Starlight Pulse, Lunox cast a rain of starlight on enemies nearby which also restores her HP
  • Then the second skill Chaos Assault, Lunox unleashes as chaos energy that slows down an enemy unit, if this is used on enemy heroes this skills deals 4% bonus based on the enemy Heroes HP
  • Third is the Cosmic Fission, here Lunox will use a fusion of energy in a fan shaped area that deals a magic damage and slows the enemy for 60%
  • Since Lunox can use Light and Dark Energy she has 2 Ultimates moves
  • first is the Power of Order Brilliance where Lunox enters a light barrier that deals magic damage per second which makes here immune and can't be targeted
  • 2nd is the Power of Chaos Darkening
  • Where Lunox blinks in a designated direction dealing magic damage to nearby enemies which gives chaos assault to have no cooldown for 4 seconds
• So here are Lunox skills and abilities what do you think? is it complicated let us know in the comments!

League of Legends

• The Two new major champion projects are coming to league of legends by the end of this year

• So it will take awhile since there is still 3 more months to go
• there's not much details shared but according to Riot the next champion will be a “colorful mage”
• as for ezreal it was revealed to be a visual update and is less focused on the gameplay
• So what do you think this means? let us know the comments
