Biggest changes since our Season 39 list

Our last MLBB list was for Season 39 (early 2026). Three seasons of patches later, the meta has moved a lot, especially for tanks and supports. Our old list also put most heroes in S or A, so many heroes drop one tier simply because this list is stricter. Here are the biggest moves.

Biggest risers: Paquito (D → A), Masha (A → S+), Argus (A → S+), Gloo (A → S+), Aulus (A → S+), Sun (A → S+), Valir (B → S), Minotaur (B → S), Kaja (C → A), Carmilla (S → S+), Rafaela (A → S), Floryn (A → S), Estes (A → S), Eudora (A → S).
Biggest fallers: Granger (S+ → D), Fanny (S+ → D), Gatotkaca (S+ → C), Lancelot (S → D), Zhuxin (S+ → B), Moskov (S+ → B), Kalea (S+ → B), Suyou (S+ → B), Hayabusa (S → C), Wanwan (S → C), Chip (S → C), Arlott (S → C), Martis (S → C), Tigreal (S → C).
New to our list: Marcel, Obsidia, Hirara, Sora.

How we ranked

We used two data sources that track real ranked games. MLBB Hub groups heroes into tiers from the last 7 days of ranked matches on every server. MLCounters scores each hero with a meta score based on win rate, pick rate and ban rate. We split the MLCounters ranking into tiers of the same size as MLBB Hub’s, turned both into scores and averaged them. Heroes that are S on both lists are S+. When the two sources disagree by two tiers or more, the hero’s details say so.

Win rates move a little every day. A hero in B or C tier can still carry if you know it well, so use this list to pick bans and to learn new heroes, not to drop your main.
