Who are the best MLBB heroes? There’s been big meta shifts with this patch.

Here’s the 5 best MLBB heroes you can use and why they’re the best picks:

Best MLBB Heroes

5) Lancelot – Blade of Roses

Lancelot remains one of the best assassins for climbing solo queue. His high mobility, invulnerability frames, and burst damage make him lethal in skilled hands. He can also turn into a hybrid tank utility jungler if the opponent specializes in longer fights, especially in objective taking. Lancelot is always contested in Professional MLBB leagues like MPL PH.

In the current jungle meta, where fast jungle clear, tempo control and quick rotations are crucial, Lancelot is king. He can secure objectives, invade enemy camps, and eliminate priority targets in seconds with the help of his 1st skill, Puncture, able to refresh its cooldown immediately upon hitting a new enemy.

His dashes then becomes pseudo unlimited as the individual cooldown per enemy (minion or hero) dropps down from 5 seconds to 3. His ultimate Phantom Execution also acts like a secondary Retribution to really secure the neutral objective with it’s high damage output as well as becoming invulnerable. With the War Axe–Hunter Strike combo, his damage output and cooldown reduction let him dominate the map with style and precision.

2) Grock – Fortress Titan

With Grock’s massive rework from his previous kit, he is now a top-tier and one of the best MLBB heroes. His crowd control, mobility, and damage are all exceptional for a tank, especially when built with hybrid offensive items.

Grock’s Bastion of Stone gives him crowd control immunity when using his skills, as well as a bit of sustain and damage during cooldown. His ultimate, Tectonic Charge, can disrupt entire enemy formations when matched with a wall or sometimes used as a means of escape. Grock can become a damage EXP Laner. He has burst damage potential with armor piercing items like Blade of Heptaseas and Hunter Strike or become a Roamer focusing on controlling the teamfights with his kit full of crowd control. His roaming and zoning abilities make him invaluable for setting up surprise plays and counter initiating to protect teammates.

3) Yi Sun-Shin – Paenlong Legend

Returning to the spotlight this patch, Yi Sun-Shin (YSS) is proving once again why he’s one of the best junglers to climb with. His versatile playstyle and fastest jungle clear speed among all junglers lets him adapt to both aggressive and scaling strategies, making him a threat at every stage of the game.

YSS’s passive Heavenly Vow allows him to switch between melee and ranged attacks. Upon switching between weapons, his hits become critical and gives a bit of attack speed on succession. His ultimate Mountain Shocker provides global vision, revealing enemies and assisting teammates across the map. In the current meta that values map awareness and team coordination, Yi Sun-Shin’s ability to scout and pressure objectives gives teams a constant advantage.

4) Cici – Buoyant Performer

Cici is making waves as one of the most efficient EXP laners in MLBB right now due to her sustain, mobility, and consistent damage through her chained attacks. She can match up to any hero currently in the EXP lane, and could be used as a Gold Laner.

Cici’s strength lies in her 1v1 duels and in extended fights, whittling down enemies while dancing around them. Her ultimate can lock down key targets, making her a great counter to squishy heroes or slippery assassins. In the current meta, where bruisers dominate, Cici fits perfectly as a durable yet deadly duelist who can carry fights by herself.

5) Bane – Frozen King

Bane’s hybrid scaling allows him to blend burst magic damage with physical lifesteal, turning him into a durable and unpredictable powerhouse.

With the combination of his first (Crab Claw Cannon) and second skill (Ale) providing both sustain and heavy poke, and his ultimate (Deadly Catch) dealing devastating area damage, Bane can dominate team fights and objectives alike. He excels in multiple roles making him one of the most flexible heroes this season.

This patch rewards proactive, high-impact heroes who can snowball early and maintain control throughout the game. These are five of the best MLBB Heroes that are always used in the current patch, including the best teams in the world. Mastering them is your key to climbing the ranks.
