Mobile Legends Bang Bang: MLBB tier list for May 2025

Mobile Legends Bang Bang tier list (MLBB tier list) tries to point out the best Mages, Tanks, and other champions in the current meta. Due to Moonton Games constantly updating their metas with different patch updates, it is crucial for players to keep track of the best-performing champions in each meta, as that helps them choose the best heroes for ranked games.

The developer only buffs or nerfs a few of the 120+ heroes on the MOBA title’s roster. This MLBB tier list was created after studying the performances of the heroes each month in different Classic and Ranked matches before ranking them in different tiers. Therefore, there are some heroes that are placed in the B or C tiers of the list. However, with enough time invested in them, these champions can grind out amazing results in each game.

Note: This tier list solely reflects the author’s opinions.

MLBB tier list for May 2025: Best picks in Mobile Legends Bang Bang

Best Mobile Legends Tanks

After the Fighter meta in the last few months, Moonton is now shifting towards the Assassin meta. However, the tank mains remain worry-free since the latest patch update did not change the power and ability of the tanky champions a lot.

The tank heroes are known for their durability and crowd-control abilities. This segment of the MLBB tier list ranks the best tanky champions in the game right now.

• S-tier: Gloo
• A-tier: Gatotkaca, Chip, Fredrinn, Carmilla, Alice, Belerick, Minotaur, Masha, Lolita
• B-tier: Baxia, Edith, Khufra, Hilda, Hylos, Terizla
• C-tier: Franco, Johnson, Akai, Tigreal, Uranus, Barats, Grock
• D-tier: Esmeralda

Gloo is currently among the best tanks in the title due to his abilities to initiate teamfights, keeping the enemy engaged to buy teammates some time during critical stages of ganks.

While units like Minotaur, Gatotkaca, Chip, and other A-tier tanks are still great choices as Roamers, Gloo’s recent surge in popularity has affected their pick rate in ranked games significantly. The heroes in the B-tier have also fallen quite a bit, but you can get great service from these units as well with the right builds at your disposal.

We have also used these parameters to select the rankings for the rest of the heroes in this tier list. This list is based on the ban rate and win rate (available on the official website) of the MLBB heroes in the last 30 days, and the recent patch updates.

Best Mobile Legends Mages

While Tanks roam to support players in different lanes, Mages guard the Mid Lane. They farm there and often help allies take the Jungle buffs (i.e., turtle, lord).

However, you need to operate carefully with these squishy champions. Here are the top Mages of Mobile Legends in this meta:

• S-tier: Selena, Zhuxin
• A-tier: Cecelion, Kimmy, Harith
• B-tier: Alice, Harley, Xavier, Zhask, Eudora, Faramis, Bane, Pharsa, Yve, Gord, Valir, Novaria, Vexana, Chang’e, Odette, Cyclops, Lunox, Luo Yi
• C-tier: Lylia, Kagura, Vale, Kadita, Nana, Valentina
• D-tier: Esmeralda

Selena and Zhuxin have been performing exceptionally well in the current meta, making them two of the best choice Mages in the Land of Dawn. While Harith, the Marksman Mage, slipped from his S-tier ranking recently, he is still one of the best performers in the mid-lane. His versatility makes him one of the top picks in the current meta. Cecelion was also dethroned from the S-tier after a long time, but he can still effectively neutralize threats in the middle of the park. Kimmy has also climbed up through the ranks after her recent revamp.

The picks in the B-tier are also great to hold enemies in the mid lane, and with the right builds, these heroes can get overpowered as well. Also, while you may see the C-tier heroes getting picked in the lower ranks and performing valiantly to secure the victory for the allies, they are not well-suited to face pro players as you climb up the ranks.

Best Mobile Legends Fighters

The best Fighter mains of MLBB have been enjoying a favored meta for the last few months. While this is about to change after the recent patch notes, some Fighter champions like Guinevere, Paquito, etc remain some of the strongest champions in the title.

Fighters are the most durable champions after Tanks and are often seen working as tanky roams with the right builds. Despite having a low range, these champions are immense damage dealers in the title. Here are the best Fighters in Mobile Legends Bang Bang:

• S-tier: Suyou, Lukas, Badaang, Freya, Julian
• A-tier: Fredrinn, Argus, Phoveus, Cici, Kalea
• B-tier: Gatotkaca, Sun Masha,Khaleed, Alucard, Terizla, Yin, Bane, Aulus, Guinevere, Kaja,Minsitthar, Ruby, Hilda, Leomord, Zilong, Alpha
• C-tier: Thamuz, Jawhead, Barats, Chou, Aldous, Thamuz, Arlott, Roger, Dyrroth, Lapu Lapu, Silvana
• D-tier: Paquito, Balmond

While Suyou returned to his position in the S-tier, Badaang and Lukas have also managed to hold their position as the top-tier Fighters in the game. The developer made it clear in the previous patch update that they were trying to adjust some overpowered heroes, which helped these heroes return to the meta again. Freya and Julian have also become meta heroes after the recent patch update.

Heroes like Fredrinn, Cici, Kalea, and others from the A-tier can help you dominate the EXP Lane. The B-tier units can also get the job done in lower-ranked games. The C-tier units can also be effective in certain situations.

Best Mobile Legends Assassins

Assassins resemble the Fighter Champions’ range and offense but are squishier than them. While they spend most of their time in the Jungle, these champions often come out to help their closest allies by ambushing enemies.

Despite their knack for attacking the squishy Marksmen pushing solo in a lane, the Assassins get the power to eliminate Tanks with one shot in late games. Here are the best Assassins ranked in the MLBB tier list in the current meta:

• S-tier: Hayabusa, Suyou, Julian
• A-tier: Nolan, Hanzo, Fanny, Ling, Selena
• B-tier: Karina, Natalia, Gusion, Helcurt, Bendetta
• C-tier: Saber
• D-tier: Yi Sun-Shin, Lesley

Hayabusa has still managed to maintain his position in the S-tier. He is one of the most banned heroes in the game and also has a great win rate among all the MLBB heroes in the roster. Heroes like Julian and Suyou have also managed to climb up the tiers after the Breaking Waves patch update.

The A-tier heroes can also help you win most of these games. But the B and C tiers are only good when you are accustomed to their best builds, skills.

Best Mobile Legends Marksmen

The Marksmen of Mobile Legends Bang Bang take on the responsibility of pushing in the Gold Lane. While their knack for aggressive play and high damage-dealing abilities help them to overcome in early-game solo fights, the squishy champions are often the favorite prey of enemy ganking.

Since Roamers begin in Gold Lane, it is easier for the MMs to unlock their ultimate early in the game. Here are the best Marksman champions in this MLBB tier list:

• S-tier: Granger
• A-tier: Irithel, Bordy, Popol and Kupa, Kimmy, Melissa, Wanwan, Clint, Moskov
• B-tier: Moskov, Yi Sun-Shin, Natan, Layla, Bruno, Ixia, Miya, Clint
• C-tier: Beatrix, Claude, Karrie, Roger
• D-tier: Lesley

Granger remains one of the most banned Marksmen in Mobile Legends Bang Bang. Units like Karrie, Irithel, Popol and Kupa, and others from the A-tier can help you secure victory. While the B-tier units can dominate the Gold Lane, you have to learn their best builds. The C-tier and D-tier Marksman, however, are among the worst ones in the current meta.

Best Mobile Legends Supports

The best Support champions in Mobile Legends Bang Bang are the lifeline of the allied forces, especially the Marksmen. Some heal, and some stun to clear your retreating path, while others absorb the damage to keep your health intact.

However, regardless of what they do, they are the best at their jobs. Support champions are integral to any winning team in Mobile Legends Bang Bang. Here is a complete ranking of the best Supports in the MLBB tier list:

• S tier: Mathilda, Chip, Kalea
• A tier: Lolita, Angela
• B tier: Minotaur, Diggie, Estes, Faramis, Kaja
• C tier: Carmilla
• D tier: Johnson

The Support tier list has also changed quite a bit. Mathilda and Chip are still the best Support units in the game alongside Kalea, the new hero. Lolita and Angela are the most-used ones.
