Mobile Legends: Bang Bang — Hero Tier List

Mobile Legends: Bang Bang — Hero Tier List

Our MLBB hero tier list for Patch Patch 2.1.70 ranks the best Mobile Legends: Bang Bang heroes by role. See which meta heroes dominate ranked games in May 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.

S Tier

Fredrinn stands as the undisputed EXP lane champion, converting gray HP into sustained trades that overwhelm most opponents. Gloo maintains his position as the premier tank choice, offering unique attachment mechanics that disrupt enemy positioning and provide unparalleled utility.

The support role dominates with Floryn's global healing enabling split-push strategies and Diggie's comprehensive utility providing crucial team fight control. Sora brings exceptional crowd control to the EXP lane, while Zhuxin offers versatile jungle presence. Julian, Kimmy, Gusion, and Pharsa represent the core damage dealers, each providing reliable output and game-changing potential that defines the current competitive landscape.

A Tier

Hanabi and Gord lead the marksman and mage categories with consistent damage output and strong team fight presence. Kaja and Sun provide reliable initiation and crowd control options that complement the meta's emphasis on coordination.

Tank options include Khufra and Lolita, both offering solid crowd control and protection capabilities. Valir brings area denial and poke potential, while Masha excels in split-push scenarios. Estes provides healing support, and Lancelot offers high mobility assassination potential, making this tier well-rounded for various team compositions and strategic approaches.

B Tier

Ruby and Nolan offer solid EXP lane alternatives with decent sustain and crowd control capabilities. The assassin category features Helcurt, Karina, Hanzo, Saber, and Natalia, providing various playstyles from burst damage to stealth ganking.

Suyou brings unique mechanics to team fights, while Lesley offers long-range marksman potential. Kadita rounds out the tier with her burst mage capabilities, making this group viable picks that can perform well in specific team compositions or against particular matchups.

C Tier

Uranus provides decent tank utility but lacks the impact of higher-tier options. Eudora and Franco offer basic crowd control and initiation capabilities. The marksman role includes Layla with her late-game scaling potential.

Fighter options feature Zilong, Alucard, Badang, and Paquito, each bringing straightforward damage and durability but lacking the versatility demanded by the current meta. These heroes remain functional but require specific team compositions to maximize their effectiveness.

D Tier

Tigreal and Balmond represent outdated tank options that struggle against current meta picks. Miya offers basic marksman functionality but lacks the impact of higher-tier alternatives.

Support heroes Rafaela and Nana provide minimal utility compared to meta supports, making them suboptimal choices in competitive environments where every pick must contribute significantly to team success.

Final Thoughts

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