Mobile Legends: Bang Bang (MLBB) Hero Tier List

Mobile Legends: Bang Bang is one of the most famous MOBA games on mobile now. New patches and balance changes are implemented in the game every season. We can see the shift of meta at the start of every season. And, MLBB Season 40 is now going in full form. In this MLBB Hero Tier List, we will show the player’s analysis and comparison between the most popular heroes of Mobile Legends this season.

This list would help you to understand the latest meta first, which will be quite clear since the Decisive Moment patch is on live the Official Server. Every player has a comfortable class or lane to play with. The meta heroes are picked according to the average win rate of the heroes. In this article, I’ll explain to you the relatively more robust heroes of the game for MLBB Season 40.

Mobile Legends: Bang Bang (MLBB) Hero 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.

Still, 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 40

Best Roam heroes for Season 40 in MLBB

Grock

Grock is really performing well as a roamer since last season, thanks to his durability and crowd control. His passive, Bastion of Stone grants you a shield based on Max HP and enhances your next basic attack to deal damage based on enemy’s Max HP, and you even gain cooldown reductions, extra Physical Defense, and control immunity while casting skills when near terrain.

With his Mighty Swing first skill, you can deal heavy damage and even launch enemies airborne by pushing against obstacles like wall. This is one reason Grock players get so many kills. While Earthen Rampart lets you create a stone wall that damages and displaces enemies. You can also counter Johnson’s ultimate.

And you can use his ultimate, Tectonic Charge to combo with the second skill as it triggers a massive explosion when you hit terrains, knocking enemies airborne and dealing massive damage to them.

Best Exp-Lane heroes for Season 40 in MLBB

Freya

Freya right now is one of the toughest exp-laner to counter due to her aggressive playstyle and skills. Her passive Power of Einherjar lets you gain Sacred Orbs with each basic attack, which you can consume to increase your attack speed on the next attack. With Leap of Faith skill, you can jump into battle, gaining a shield while also dealing damage and knocking enemies airborne.

But it’s Valkyrie Slash skill that acts as her main damage tool, allowing you to do repeated slashes by consuming Sacred Orbs while also slowing enemies. And with her Valkyrie Descent ultimate, you can dive into battle with control immunity and damage reduction and enter a Valkyrie state with enhanced attacks, healing, and splash damage.

Best Mid-Lane heroes for Season 40 in MLBB

Kadita

Kadita is back with her ocean magic, making her stronger than ever before. With her Passive, Thalassophobia, you can regain a big chunk of HP when you take damage, letting you survive longer than most mages. So, you can dive in solo and still recover which is irritating for enemies to counter.

Plus, her skills provide both magic power and mobility. With Ocean Ode, you can ride a wave that also damages and slows enemies, while you gain control immunity and damage reduction. On top of that, Breath of the Ocean grants more burst damage, letting you knock enemies up.

But it is her Ultimate, Rough Waves, that is the main fearful element of her. So, you can camp in the bush, ambush enemies by diving underground, and unleash waves in every direction that deal massive damage while slowing enemies. And if you can catch enemies inside the returning waves, the impact is greater.

Best Gold Lane heroes for Season 40 in MLBB

Ixia

I don’t what happened but MLBB players are really having a good time playing Ixia right now, but I don’t think she will be meta for longer. So, until then make full advantage of her. With her passive, Siphon Starlium, you basically convert charged attacks into siphoning shots that deals heavy damage and also heals you.

Besides that, you can use the Dual Beam skill to fire twin shots at enemies to slow them down, while you gain bonus mobility and damage. I like the Star Helix more, as it lets you pull and knock enemies into a tight space, and this helps a lot when you use her Ultimate.

Coming to ultimate, you can use the Full Barrage to rain down enemies with continuous attacks across a wide fan-shaped area. The best part is your attack speed is increased along with more siphon damage, but the only downside is that you become stationary, that is locked in one place while use it.

Granger

Granger is still 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.

Best Jungle heroes for Season 40 in MLBB

Gusion

Gusion is back into the meta after being away for a while, though you still need fast hands to execute his combo smoothly. So, his passive, Dagger Specialist, enhances your next basic attack after casting skills, letting you deal bonus damage based on enemy’s max HP while also restoring some of yours.

With the first skill, Sword Spike, you can throw a dagger to mark an enemy and instantly dash behind them by casting again. And you can throw multiple daggers with Shadowblade Slaughter to slow down enemies and deal additional damage by recalling them. With Incandescence ultimate, you can dash forward and reset cooldown for other skills to combo perfectly.

Lancelot

Lancelot, also my favorite Hero, is once again proving why he is one of the most feared Assassins in the game. His Soul Cutter Passive grants you extra damage for each dash, stacking up a lot. So, the longer you stay in the fight, the harder your combos hit. I also love his skills, designed for quick, precise strikes.

Puncture lets you dash through enemies, and it also resets the cooldown if you mark a new target, so you can be very mobile. And with Thorned Rose, you can perform three swift attacks while being untargetable and dealing heavy damage and slowing enemies caught in the center of the skill.

His Ultimate, Phantom Execution, is very satisfying to perform and also takes his burst damage to another level. So after a short charge, you can strike forward with invincibility, cutting through any enemies with massive damage. But you do have to time his skills to make the most out of it.

Best Support heroes for Season 40 in MLBB

Marcel

Right now, you’ll rarely see Marcel in high tier Ranked matches as he is constantly banned due to his annoying yet powerful skills. His passive, Platinum Snap brings a unique mechanic where his split soul, Clemar captures moments to freeze enemies briefly while dealing true damage. Both you and your allies gain shield, with your basic attacks scaling both offense and defense stats.

You can slow enemies in an area with the Framed Moment skill before dealing damage and immobilizing them once the shot is done. And Tracking Shot skill increases your movement speed and you can dash while leaving behind a phantom that interacts with your other skills.

But it is his ultimate, Golden Hour, that gets him banned every match. With this, you can freeze enemies, teammates, and their projectiles and only you can move and attack. So, if performed well, you can make solid plays though it can be a double edged sword as your teammates can also get punished.

Diggie

Diggie is back as a solid utility support, offering both disruption and protection to the team. His Passive, Young Again, allows you to keep moving and using different skills even after you die by turning into an egg. So, you can still give vision to your team, and also reposition to a better spot.

Now, his kit focuses on control and disruption, which is working well this season. With Auto Alarm Bomb, you can set up traps in bushes or anywhere that chase enemies and scale in damage with stacks. While Reverse Time pulls marked enemies back to their original spot, which is perfect to eliminate key targets.

And considering a lot of CC-based tanks and heroes are being used this season, his Ultimate, Time Journey, becomes the best counter. So with this, you can remove all debuffs from allies while providing them a powerful shield and Control immunity. So, you can flip a match with well-timed ultimates.
