Mobile Legends: Bang Bang — Hero Tier List

Our MLBB hero tier list for Patch 2.2.16a ranks the best Mobile Legends: Bang Bang heroes by role. See which meta heroes dominate ranked games in November 2026.

Last updated:

Mobile Legends: Bang Bang has well over 100 heroes to date from its extensive hero list, but while that's great for options, it also means that it's more difficult to differentiate between the right hero to win with and the wrong hero that leads to a loss. Patch 2.1.61 introduced 19 buffs and 9 nerfs that further complicated the pick. This Mobile Legends tier list breaks things down to make that choice simpler when you climb the ranks.

Ranking Mobile Legends' Best Heroes

We use a formula combining win rate, pick rate, and ban rate pulled from Mobile Legends: Bang Bang stats tracker and cross-referenced with official global rankings. Those stats are weighed against pro play data, team-comp flexibility, and performance across all competitive tiers.

Heroes that are limited to five-stack lobbies are penalized. If you're looking for the best Mobile Legends heroes to use, grab a ranked-ready Mobile Legends account from igitems that comes stacked with a full roster, and get to playing at a high level right away.

Meta Overview

The current Mobile Legends meta continues to reward heroes with strong utility, crowd control, and sustained team fight presence. Supports like Rafaela and Floryn remain indispensable picks, while durable fighters such as Masha and Aulus anchor aggressive compositions with reliable damage and durability.

The meta favors heroes who deliver consistent value across multiple roles and game phases. Crowd control specialists and sustain-heavy supports are high priority, and heroes like Minotaur and Obsidia add disruptive presence that rewards strategic coordination over raw burst damage.

S Tier

Masha leads the fighter category as a durable multi-lane threat capable of pressuring enemies across the map, while Aulus brings relentless melee aggression that makes him a priority pick in physical damage compositions. Rafaela remains a cornerstone support with reliable healing and crowd control, and Floryn complements her with exceptional sustained recovery that makes her a frequent ban target in organized play.

Sun provides persistent pressure through his clone-based kit, and Popol and Kupa offer unique ranged utility and trapping mechanics that disrupt enemy positioning. Valir delivers reliable crowd control and poke from a safe distance, while Argus brings fearsome sustained damage in extended duels. Minotaur anchors frontlines with devastating team fight initiation, and Obsidia rounds out this tier with disruptive engage patterns that are difficult to counter. Together, this tier defines the current competitive landscape.

A Tier

Barats and Lolita provide sturdy frontline presence, with Barats growing into a formidable tank-fighter and Lolita offering essential projectile-blocking utility for her team. Eudora and Kagura represent strong burst and sustained magic damage respectively, making them reliable picks in mage-favored compositions. Ling and Benedetta bring high-mobility assassination threat that punishes immobile lineups.

Bruno and Guinevere offer consistent physical and magical damage output in their respective roles, while Saber excels at isolating and eliminating high-priority targets. Hilda rounds out this tier as a durable fighter with strong regeneration and reliable engage, making her a versatile pick across multiple team compositions.

B Tier

Hirara, Paquito, and Fredrinn provide solid fighter and tank options with dependable damage and durability. Edith and Faramis bring unique hybrid utility, blending tank and mage roles to offer flexible team fight contributions. Beatrix and Natalia serve as situational marksman and assassin picks, while Yve delivers reliable area-control magic damage. Kalea and Angela round out this tier with supportive and disruptive utility that remains viable in the right compositions.

C Tier

Aldous, Nolan, and Julian offer high-risk, high-reward playstyles that struggle to keep pace with the current meta's demands for consistency. Sora and Khaleed provide niche physical damage but lack the versatility needed to compete at higher tiers. Aamon and Kimmy bring unique mechanics that can surprise opponents, while Dyrroth rounds out this tier as a fighter who falls short of the durability and utility the meta currently rewards.

D Tier

Miya, Zhuxin, Layla, Vexana, and Odette occupy the bottom of the current meta, each struggling with limited mobility, predictable kits, or insufficient damage output to remain competitive. These heroes are largely outclassed by stronger alternatives in their respective roles and are difficult to justify in most drafts.

Final Thoughts

Every patch shifts the meta, so the safest investments are S-tier tanks and top meta heroes that fit most drafts.
