Mobile Legends: Bang Bang (ML:BB) fans are in for a big treat as the game’s developer Moonton has introduced a new hero named Ixia on the game's advanced server. Like every other hero, the latest addition to the game also brings a set of unique abilities. Ixia is a marksman hero with a variety of burst damage and crowd control effects, making her a valuable asset to any team. 

While the exact release date of Ixia on the regular server is yet to be announced, players can anticipate her arrival and potential impact on gameplay.

Mobile Legends New Hero Ixia Abilities

Following are all the abilities of ML:BB’s New Hero Ixia:

Passive - Arc Siphon

Ixia's Basic Attacks and Skills apply a stack of Arc Charge to enemies on hit. When Ixia performs a Basic Attack on an enemy with two stacks of Arc Charge, it will consume the stacks and become an Arc Siphon, dealing (+100% Total Physical Attack) (+20000% Physical Lifesteal) + 40(+20%*Hero Level) Physical Damage and reducing the target's Movement Speed by 40% for 1.5s. If the target is a hero, Ixia also recovers HP equal to the damage dealt. Arc Siphon can be used on all enemy heroes in front of Ixia that are within her Basic Attack range.

Skill 1 - Dual Arc

Ixia fires 2 Arclight beams along the ground in the target direction, dealing 150 (+80% Total Physical Attack) (+8000% Physical Lifesteal) Physical Damage to enemies in a rectangular area. Upon hitting an enemy hero, Ixia also gains 40% Movement Speed for 3s. Enemies hit by both beams will take double damage.

Skill 2 - Arc Helix

Ixia launches a canister of Arc energy in the target direction, pulling enemies to the center line after a short delay and dealing 200 (+60% Total Physical Attack) (+12000% Physical Lifesteal) Physical Damage.

Ultimate - Arclight Barrage

Passive: Ixia gradually gains Movement Speed when not in combat (up to 30%), but loses the effect upon entering combat.

Active: Ixia disassembles her cannons into 6 smaller weapons and enters the Barrage state for 5s. In this state, Ixia's skills gain additional range (but can only be used within the fan-shaped area) and her Basic Attacks can hit up to 6 enemy units (prioritizing enemy heroes) in the same area. Within the duration, Arc Siphon also deals 80 extra damage.

The introduction of Ixia is expected to bring a new dynamic to Mobile Legends: Bang Bang gameplay, particularly in the Gold Lane. It will be interesting to see how players utilize her abilities and make counter plays against her.
