MLBB Patch 2.2.23 revamps Popol and Kupa and strengthens Gold Lane income

Mobile Legends: Bang Bang’s Patch 2.2.23 introduces a Popol and Kupa revamp alongside changes to lane income, defensive items and several prominent heroes.

The update’s stated goals include helping traditional Gold Lane and EXP Lane heroes respond to the growing use of Fighters in Gold Lane and roaming Tanks in EXP Lane.

Popol gains new mobility

Popol can now ride Kupa after activating his second skill, adding a way to pursue opponents or retreat while receiving a Shield .

Kupa’s HP scales with Popol’s level, and the companion regenerates health outside combat. In Alpha Wolf form, the first skill strikes an area and knocks nearby enemies airborne.

The revamp also improves the utility of Popol’s traps.

Gold Lane and emblem changes

At Mythic Honor and above, and in Tournament mode, the Gold Lane siege-minion bonus increases from 40% to 60%.

Concussive Blast’s damage scaling rises from 7% to 8% of maximum HP, but its damage against minions is reduced by 50%. Together, the changes target income distribution and the ease with which tank-oriented setups clear waves.

Gloo and Sprint adjusted

Gloo’s first-skill immobilization falls from 0.8 to 0.6 seconds, while his ultimate’s damage-transfer ratio drops from 80% to 60%.

Sprint’s cooldown is reduced from 100 to 75 seconds. Antique Cuirass also receives a stronger physical-damage reduction effect.

The changes create several considerations for upcoming drafts, although individual competitions determine when a new patch enters tournament play.
