Mobile Legends has become one of the best MOBA games to play on phones recently and also the most downloaded gaming app. It makes you wonder which characters will give you the edge on every round.

Mobile Legends and the various other MOBA games available online always have an evolving gameplay with the many patches installed. Some will be for design, but others will be for adjusting stats of its playable characters for fixing balancing issues. And thus the tier lists being introduced in the community would change too. Our tier list also offers that kind of variety based on the current changes.

With a vast selection of heroes, knowing the elite ones is definitely a daunting task. But don’t fret, since our updated Mobile Legends tier list ranks all the available heroes based on their strengths and performance for each role.

The tanks stand as the stalwart guardians of the battlefield, boasting formidable bulkiness and resilience to anything. Their primary role is to absorb the most out of enemy assaults, shielding their allies. Positioned in the front of the team fight, they serve as the vanguard, strategically dictating the tempo of engagement.

Tanks have an arsenal of crowd-controlling abilities, crucial for winning fights. The characters below can take the most heat away from their fragile friends. Either stunning, pushing, and slowing down enemies who try to slaughter the team. That's why these characters are in our ranking for best tanks.

Now that we know what tanks are best to play right now, let's take a look at the fighters. The best side lane character will determine flank attacks and the element of surprise, so they can be just as important as picking a good tank. We've listed our picks in the table below.

So the best Mobile Legends fighters are a versatile bunch. With higher durability than junglers but slightly less damage potential, they sit somewhere between both the assassin and tank role, building up the threat as the match goes on.

Moreover, they possess mid-range mobility, damage, and crowd-control abilities, making them, by design, hybrid brawlers that can be built to handle most match situations. So that's how we decided on the ranking for each Mobile Legends fighter on this tier list.

Now that we've got tanks and side lane heroes organised, let's take a look at the jungler meta. These characters avoid early-game fights and need to have utilities to achieve that, so let's take a look at who best fits the jungler meta right now.

Mobile Legends Assassins (or 'Junglers') are heroes that stay away from the lanes in the early game. Instead, they rely on specific equipment to help them clear monsters in the areas between lanes, racking up Gold and EXP without being bogged down by lane rivals.

Therefore, after five minutes or so, they pounce on over-extending laners as they travel between jungle areas, bursting targets down before fading back into the shadows. So here's how each Mobile Legends Assassin fits on the tier list:

Mobile Legends mages typically sit on the mid lane, slinging spells against a single-lane opponent. But the outcome of these duels can quickly push a game in either team's favour, creating a high-risk, high-reward dynamic that only the most accurate will win.

However, late in the game, a bursty mage will make all the difference in dealing high-area damage to the entire team, whittling them down for more mobile characters to finish off.

A Mobile Legends Marksman works similarly to those found in other MOBA games. They're the late-game carriers designed to sit on a lane with a support hero backing them up. So their primary reliance on hard-hitting basic attacks means they're able to fight for as long as they have the HP to do so.

But all this power comes at a cost, though. Marksman characters are glass cannons. Push too hard and they risk feeding the enemy's own. We took all of that into account when ranking the best Mobile Legends tier list for mid lane heroes.

Mathilda is a high-ranking support on the Mobile Legends tier list.

In Mobile Legends, Support characters typically sit on the same lane as the marksman. However, they're not all just out-and-out healers, because they do aid in the carry's growth. Either keeping them fighting fit or slowing, stunning, and otherwise controlling the enemy from afar.

The support works to make the mid-lane hero's progression a little easier, either helping them pick off targets or simply keeping them out of harm's way. Therefore, once teams start to gather up, support heroes inevitably become primary targets, making it imperative that they stay behind the team's tank. So we took into account these factors when ranking them in our Mobile Legends tier list.

Who Is the Next Mobile Legends Hero?

Unfortunately, there are no leaks on who will be the next hero yet. Nevertheless, the newest one to join the Mobile Legends roster is a mage called Zhuxin.

She was recently released on the MLBB Advanced server along with the latest patch, and she is coming into the game as the 125th hero. Zhuxin is a mage that is pretty tanky and can deal a lot of damage.

Be sure to check back with us regularly, as we'll keep our Mobile Legends tier list up to date with the current meta once Chip lands in the game. But that's all there is to say about the Mobile Legends tier list for now.

And that's the recently updated tier list for Mobile Legends! Meanwhile, you might want to check out other games and our tiers lists. Check out our Arena of Valor tier list, Pokémon Unite tier list, and League of Legends: Wild Rift tier list as well. They all do things ever so slightly different to Mobile Legends, making them still worth checking out. We even have a Pokémon Unite Full Fury tier list for the rapid-fire mode.
