Mobile Legends: Bang Bang Kicks Off Season 40 with New Hero “Marcel” and the Shuffle Draw Event
The Land of Dawn is officially entering a new era. As of March 11, 2026, Mobile Legends: Bang Bang (MLBB) has launched Season 40: Decisive Moment, bringing a fresh wave of competitive energy and a brand-new mechanical challenge for Support mains: Marcel, the Soul Photographer.
New Hero: Marcel (Support/CC) Marcel has officially stepped out of the Advanced Server and into Ranked play. Known as the Soul Photographer, he introduces a unique “Stasis” mechanic that can completely reset the momentum of a team fight.
Passive – Platinum Snap: Marcel doesn’t build like a traditional tank; he converts extra HP into Hybrid Defense. His camera, Clemar, automatically snaps photos of nearby enemies, dealing True Damage and granting shields to Marcel and his closest ally.
Skill 1 – Framed Moment: A powerful AOE slow that immobilizes enemies after a short delay, perfect for setting up ganks.
Skill 2 – Tracking Shot: An agility tool that gives Marcel a massive movement speed burst when moving toward enemies, allowing him to reposition for the perfect shot.
Ultimate – Golden Hour: Marcel’s signature move. He creates a wide-angle zone for 3 seconds that puts all units (allies and enemies alike) into Stasis. While in Stasis, units are immobilized and immune to all damage—except from Marcel himself.
Pro Tip: Use Marcel’s Ultimate at Lord or Turtle pits to freeze the enemy Jungler right before they can use Retribution!
