Mobile Legends: Bang Bang January (MLBB) 2025 Tier List
I have prepared the list based on the percentage of high-ranking elo. It does not mean that average, weak heroes are useless. Suppose someone picks a meta hero but he cannot cast the skill properly, but in the same battle you pick a non-meta hero but you know every bit how to use or counter, then obviously your winning chance is high, but try to pick S+, S, or A tier heroes to boost your stars in mythic and above, because fate will not always help you.

Best meta heroes for Mobile Legends: Bang Bang (MLBB) in Season 35
Best Roam heroes for Season 35
Tigreal
Tigreal is a tank hero known for his crowd-control abilities and durability. He can take a lot of damage while messing with enemy formations with his knockbacks and stuns. His skills allow him to stun multiple enemies at once.

With his strong defense and trusted crowd control, he plays an important role in creating openings for his team and securing victory. Overall he’s a great pick as roamer if he doesn’t get banned in rank matches. Tigreal is generally in the evergreen meta of MLBB. If you can play Tigreal efficiently, you can always carry the team given the fact you have a damage dealer at your back.
Hylos
Hylos was always a very irritating hero and he still proves to be one, right from his passive, converting extra Max Mana to Max HP, and the ability to use his HP as mana to cast skills is very useful.

His playstyle is centered around direct ambushes and quick initiation, creating opportunities for the team to engage with the enemies while he sustains a lot of damage from them. His ultimate, Glorious Pathway is great for chasing enemies, slowing them down by 75%, while granting him slow immunity and recovering max hp per second.
This is great for your team too, as the pathway increases team movement speed and slows down enemies. On top of that, his AOE skill is the most irritating, continuously dealing damage while also slowing the enemy and reducing their attack speed.
Best Exp-Lane heroes for Season 35
Hilda

Hilda is proving to be a very strong pick for both the exp lane and even as a roamer. Her regeneration abilities, which also provide her shield while hiding in the bush are great for changing the momentum of the game. Her high damage output combined with her mobility makes her an excellent hero for ambushing enemies and disengaging when required. On top of that, her ultimate, Power of Wildness is great for dealing burst damage which also includes a stun, making it very easy to finish off low-hp enemies.
Best Mid-Lane heroes for Season 35
Harith
With his recent buff, Harith has finally entered the MLBB meta after quite some time. His Chrono Dash is now more irritating than ever. He can dash more while also generating a shield while enchanting his next basic attack, which also slows down enemies while reducing the time of his dash.

And with his ultimate, Zaman Force, the cooldown of his dash skill significantly decreases, increasing his overall mobility. The rift created by this skill initially slows down enemies by 70%, while continuously slowing down afterward by 35%. His ulti decreases cooldown for both his first and second skills. His durability, low cooldowns, high mobility, and the ability to slow down and spam basic attacks make him a great option for both mid-lane and gold lane.
Zhuxin
Zhuxin has been one of the best mid laner since her launch. Since she has high mobility and crowd-control abilities. Her skills allow her to deal continuous magical damage from a safe distance and also slow them down while she gains extra movement speed for few seconds. This makes her a threat in team fights.

With her unique control crowd skill, she can capture enemies and pull them airborne for 1 second, changing the momentum of the game. What’s more scary is she can also throw all captured enemies to a specific location, dealing additional magical damage. Her ultimate skill, Crimson Beacon, allows her to blink to a target location while gaining a 400–700 shield. She creates a field around her for a few seconds while airborne, dealing magic damage and applying one stack of soul snare every second. With her continuous damage and great crowd control, she is one of the top choices for mid-lane.
Best Gold Lane heroes for Season 35
Granger
Granger is one of the best gold laners due to his high damage potential, mobility around with his Rondo skill, and efficient wave-clearing skills. His skills allow him to burst enemies once he gains at least two items, making him a big threat in both solo and team fights.

Granger’s dash skill is great for repositioning and it also restores 15-20% energy for his gun, so he can stay safe and keep spamming his bullets. His ultimate, Death Sonata fires his cannon, dealing massive physical damage while also slowing down the enemy, turning the tide in team fights with great damage and support.
Additionally, his passive keeps restoring 8% energy for his gun and 2% Energy for his cannon per second. This makes clearing minion waves more beneficial, as each minion and creep kill permanently increases the basic energy cap of his gun and cannon by 6, while also restoring energy. This makes Granger a top choice for the Gold Lane and even a strong option for Jungle.
Best Jungle heroes for Season 35
Suyou

Suyou is a fighter and an assassin. His skills allow him to switch between being mortal and immortal. This makes him flexible in battle. Additionally, his skills grant him agility. crowd control and continuously inflicts damage at the same time Help him adapt to different situations. Deal damage to enemies or take damage in team battles. These qualities make him a strong choice in the jungle role. Lukas is also a great contender for the jungle role.
