Mobile Legends tier list (March 2024) - best heroes for ranked

March 12, 2024 - We've updated our Mobile Legends tier list to reflect the current meta.

Wondering what a Mobile Legends tier list would look like these days? Then look no further, because we've ranked all the playable characters to let you know who's worth playing. In five years, Mobile Legends has amassed a character roster of over 100 unique brawlers for players to choose from. The selection ensures each 12-18 minute match is unique, but like any other competitive game, a meta eventually emerges, setting the stage for the tier list below.

Though any hero will get the job done in the right hands, meta picks and characters that tier well will generally have a higher average win rate regardless of who controls them. So it's not concrete and can shift with balance patches, but knowing rough placements can help win matches.

But before we get into the finer details, think about checking out our tier list hub for your favourite games. Additionally, for recommendations, check out our Genshin Impact tier list and AFK Arena tier list for two massive mobile games. We've also got a Wild Rift tier list for the League of Legends spin-off, and if you're more into Roblox then be sure to check out our Haze Piece fruit tier list, too.

Mobile Legends tier list - every hero ranked (March 2024)

Below, we'll take a look at the current meta in Mobile Legends and rank the playable characters we think fit best right now. We've split the list into sections for each character class to make it easier, so you can see a full list of every character in the table below. But if you want the nitty-gritty of where they rank, then read on!

So although Mobile Heroes splits its many characters into distinct roles, some characters are simply better all-rounders than others. The characters on this particular tier list are those that feature heavily in the current meta.

However, you're free to play any hero you'd like in the current season, but those featured above are more commonly seen for one reason or another. This subsequently suggests they're more likely to increase your odds of winning the match with enough practice.

So tanks are obviously bulky, durable brawlers who, after training up in the field, take their position at the front of the team. This will subsequently decide if and when to engage the enemy in a fight. So once a fight breaks out, it's their job to take the heat away from their more fragile friends, stunning, pushing, and slowing down enemies who try to slaughter the team. That's why these characters are in our ranking for best tanks.

Mobile Legends tier list for fighters - best side lane hero

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 out 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. So that's how we decided on this current stack of Mobile Legends mid lane characters.

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.

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?

The next hero to join the Mobile Legends roster is a support called Chip. He was recently released on the MLBB Advanced server along with the latest patch, and he'd be coming into the game as the 124th hero. Chip is a tank and support hero with the ability to create portals, meaning gameplay is sure to be speedy thanks to an increase in team mobility.

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.

For more mobile MOBA rankings, check out the 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.
