Mobile Legends Hero Tier List (September 2026)

Last checked September 14, 2026

By the Claude Gaming team

This Mobile Legends hero tier list ranks 35 of the most played heroes for September 2026, on patch 2.1.95a of Season 41, with Rafaela, Floryn, Gloo and Belerick leading the pack.

We built it around ranked win rates first and pro-play pick priority second, which is why supports and tanks dominate the top and several fan-favourite assassins sit at the bottom this season.

It is a solo-queue list: a D tier hero in a coordinated five-stack can still win games, and we say so in the notes where it matters.

How we rank

We ranked heroes on their ranked win rate at Mythic and above on the current patch, then adjusted for ban rate and how forgiving the hero is in solo queue. Two sources are stat-driven and agree on most of the top tier; the third is opinion-based and rates assassins much higher, so when they split we kept the placement that at least two of the three support, and we noted the mechanics that explain a surprising spot rather than averaging blindly.

Tier by tier

S Tier, the meta

  • Rafaela: Highest win rate in the game, heals and speeds the whole team
  • Floryn: Global healing, S tier in every source we checked
  • Gloo: Durability buffs made this tank a permanent ban
  • Belerick: Reflect damage and taunts shred the dive meta
  • Miya: Attack speed buffs put the starter marksman on top
  • Melissa: Voodoo doll punishes tanks, 57 percent win rate

A Tier, excellent

  • Marcel: New support with huge win rate, still underpicked
  • Masha: Three health bars, wins the exp lane on stats
  • Argus: Immortality ultimate is brutal in the durability meta
  • Minotaur: Rage engine plus heal, top roamer by win rate
  • Khufra: Still the answer to every dash hero
  • Estes: Team heal outlasts burst comps, low skill floor
  • Sun: Clones split push and dodge everything
  • Yi Sun-shin: Best jungler right now, global ultimate wins fights
  • Eudora: One-combo burst, easiest mage to climb with
  • Valir: Knockbacks counter every dive fighter
  • Gord: Sustained poke melts tanky drafts
  • Hanabi: Bouncing shots, top gold laner on stats

B Tier, solid

  • Zetian: Strong mage, needs setup to land the combo
  • Kadita: Wave ultimate resets fights, mid or roam
  • Ling: Wall mobility is unique, falls off against tanks
  • Paquito: High skill, rewarded by stats but not by every source
  • Fredrinn: Flexible tank fighter, average win rate
  • Diggie: Crowd control immunity, better in five-stacks

C Tier, situational

  • Julian: Sub 50 percent win rate, still a pro pick
  • Hayabusa: Great in skilled hands, average in solo queue
  • Kimmy: Manual aim, poor stats since the durability patch
  • Selena: Arrow-dependent, punished by shields and tanks
  • Lapu-Lapu: Sources split hard, stats say below average

D Tier, skip

  • Fanny: Lowest win rate assassin, cable skill or nothing
  • Lancelot: Burst cannot get through the current tank meta
  • Granger: Bottom of the marksman stats this season
  • Wanwan: Needs four weak points, too slow against sustain
  • Kalea: Nerfed since release, underperforms in every role
  • Chou: Still fun, but the numbers are the worst in years

Mobile Legends tier list FAQ

Who is the best hero in Mobile Legends right now?

By win rate, Rafaela, with Floryn and Marcel right behind her. For a carry role, Melissa and Miya are the safest gold laners and Yi Sun-shin is the top jungler on patch 2.1.95a.

Why are so many assassins in D tier?

Season 41 buffed durability across the map, so heroes that need to burst a target down in one rotation, like Fanny and Lancelot, are losing more games than they win at Mythic and above. They are not unplayable, they are just harder to win with.

How often does the Mobile Legends meta change?

Every patch shifts a few heroes, and a big balance pass arrives roughly every season. We re-check the win rate data after each patch and update the list when placements actually move.

Should I play S tier heroes even if I do not like them?

Not necessarily. A hero you have hundreds of games on will win you more matches than an S tier hero you are learning mid-season. Use this list to pick bans and to decide which new hero is worth practising.
