Mobile Legends Season 21 rolled out late this June and with it came Patch 1.5.88, one of the biggest game updates this year. Players were greeted with hero revamps of Karina, Alpha, Minotaur, and Sun. There were also changes in the equipment section, with three new items introduced – War Axe, Shadow Twinblades, and Radiant Armor. Let’s get to know more about them, their respective features, and how they affect the current meta.
War Axe
