Mobile Legends: Bang Bang — Hero Tier List

Our MLBB hero tier list for Patch 2.1.95a ranks the best Mobile Legends: Bang Bang heroes by role. See which meta heroes dominate ranked games in October 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 Estes remain indispensable picks, while durable tanks such as Khufra and Gloo anchor frontlines with reliable initiation and disruption.

The meta favors heroes who deliver consistent value across multiple roles and game phases. Fighters like Masha and Aulus bring durable damage output, and heroes with dependable crowd control remain high priority, creating an environment 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 Estes complements her with exceptional sustained recovery that makes him a frequent ban target in organized play.

Khufra anchors frontlines with devastating initiation that punishes mobile enemies, making him essential in coordinated drafts. Hirara and Marcel bring unique utility and disruption to their respective roles, while Gloo's malleable kit provides both durable tanking and unpredictable engage patterns that are difficult to counter. Together, this tier defines the current competitive landscape.

A Tier

Sun and Barats offer durable fighter presence with strong split-push and team fight potential, while Atlas and Lolita provide dependable tank initiation and crowd control that reward coordinated play. Carmilla and Diggie round out the support options, with Carmilla linking enemies through her unique curse mechanic and Diggie granting teammates immunity from crowd control at critical moments.

Popol and Kupa bring versatile marksman utility through their trap-setting kit, and Eudora and Kagura deliver reliable burst and poke damage in the mage role. Lukas adds a hard-hitting fighter option, making this tier a deep pool of strong, consistent picks across multiple positions.

B Tier

Paquito and Benedetta offer aggressive fighter and assassin options with high mobility, while Fredrinn and Edith provide durable frontline alternatives. Faramis supports teams with his unique revival ultimate, and Selena and Ling bring high-skill-ceiling assassin play. Valir delivers reliable mage crowd control and poke, and Bruno and Beatrix round out the tier as capable marksmen with strong damage output in the right hands.

C Tier

Lapu-Lapu and Khaleed offer physical fighter damage but struggle for consistency against the current meta's top picks. Aldous and Aamon can threaten carries in the late game but require significant investment to reach their power spikes. Nolan and Julian bring unique mechanics yet remain situational, and Natalia and Sora find limited windows to make a decisive impact in competitive drafts.

D Tier

Miya, Layla, and Lesley are straightforward marksmen who lack the mobility and utility demanded by the current meta, leaving them vulnerable to aggressive frontlines. Zhuxin and Vexana offer mage damage but are outclassed by more versatile options, making all five heroes difficult to justify in serious competitive play.

Final Thoughts

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