Playing Mobile Legends is one of the favorite past times for many gamers out there in the world who just want to pass the time whether it can be from work or school. Others want to enjoy it just to have something to do for the day while others want to play it for a profession. One of the factors that can make one claim victory though, and that is by choosing the right champion for the job.

Many MOBA games including Mobile Legends have changed through the years since it launched with its incrementing updates. These changes include balances, skills, graphical improvements, and more. This is the reason for the numerous tier lists we create as it depends on the update improvements. Our tier list also offers that kind of variety based on the current changes.

With tons of champions and still incrementing with new ones every major update, it is quite a hard task to choose the best from the lineup. Do not fret, our tier list will make that job easier for you.

Below we’ll show our different Mobile Legends tier lists for different roles that rank all the heroes from best to worst!

When facing a tank character, you will most likely have to dish out tons of damage before you can take one down. As the name says, tanks can take a lot of damage with lots of HP and defense. They have tons of other skills too that can help out, but they are mainly there to take all of the damage and let the other champions dish out the big attacks and damage.

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?

According to reliable sources, there are three upcoming new champions to choose from, which are Zetian the Divine Empress, Obsidia the Sovereign of Dark's End, and an unknown character yet to be revealed.

Zetian is revealed to be a Mage with specialty of damage or control and will be recommended to mid lane. Obsidia is said to be a Marksman and is recommended for the gold lane.
