Hero Specialty: A powerful fighter who excels at solo Passive - Silvanna deals Magic Damage with Basic Attack. Her skills can mark the enemy hit. Each mark reduces the target's Physical & Magic Defense. A target can carry up to 5 marks. When the amount of marks reaches the limit, Silvanna's skill can deal Extra Damage to the target. Skill 1 - Cometic Lance Silvanna strikes with her Lance, dealing Magic Damage to all enemies in the path and stunning the first enemy hero hit. Meanwhile, she increases her Movement Speed.

Skill 2 - Spiral Strangling Silvanna stabs her Lance in a designated direction and spins it for several times. Each time deals Magic Damage to the enemies within the AoE and slightly pulls them to the center. Meanwhile, generates points of Shield to herself. Silvanna spins her lance 1 more time for each 50% extra Attack Speed. If the target is a Minion, deals less damage. Ultimate - Imperial Justice Silvanna leaps toward an area, dealing Magic Damage to enemies within the AoE and slowing them down.

New Map [Imperial Sanctuary] will be unlocked on December 21st. Each MLBB player has battled in the Western Desert and The Celestial Palace for many years. As the end of 2019 comes, we will launch a brand new map - Imperial Sanctuary. Once upon a time, there were many knight imprints in the map - Imperial Sanctuary, and the identity symbol established by the Moniyan Empire for the selected knights. As the times changed, the Imperial Knights' reputation fell, and the Imperial Sanctuary that was once surrounded by honors began to disappear into the eyes of the people. Today, the Imperial Sanctuary has become a legend. There may still be guards and ancient creatures there. They continue to protect the roots of the empire. Now, every player who fights in the Imperial Sanctuary will fight for the title of Knight. The title Knight is an honor, and it is not easy to be obtained. Every candidate warrior wants to be a formal knight and needs to undergo a lot of rigorous tests. It is not only the need for clever riding and tactics, but also the outstanding command power and rich combat experience. Now. pick up your sword and explore the Imperial Sanctuary! 2. Added new 5v5 festival themed map Christmas Carnival. Don't miss out! ===Mode=== CHESS-TD 2.0: Dragon Arrival Dear player, we feel your enthusiasm about CHESS-TD.
