Season 41 of Mobile Legends: Bang Bang is live on Patch 2.1.95, and the ranked ladder has already settled into its new shape. The August 4 update kept ranked changes light: a Gord damage nerf, a Novaria Skill 2 buff, and a full Kaja rework that turns him into an area-control tool instead of a single-target suppressor. The wider balance pass landed on Brawl mode, not ranked, so the MLBB meta moving the needle right now comes down to which heroes were already strong and which ones shifted from the Kaja rework, opening up new draft dynamics.
We are ranking the top heroes in Mobile Legends for Season 41 based on ranked win rate, pick rate, and ban rate data from mlbbhub.com, which pulls rolling seven-day stats from Moonton's official GMS and MAPI endpoints. Heroes are graded S through D. S-tier heroes are first-pick or first-ban material. A-tier heroes are strong, reliable picks. B-tier is balanced. C-tier is situational. D-tier underperforms. Stats below reflect the snapshot from August 24, 2026, and because they refresh daily, expect minor shifts as the season progresses.
Season 41 Tier List at a Glance
The table below covers every S-tier hero in the current MLBB tier list. Win rates are rolling seven-day ranked figures across all servers. Pick rate is a share of total picks. Ban rate is per match.
| Rank | Hero | Role | Win Rate | Pick Rate | Ban Rate |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Marcel | Support | 58.81% | 0.28% | 32.16% |
| 2 | Rafaela | Support | 57.75% | 1.02% | 10.73% |
| 3 | Masha | Fighter/Tank | 56.97% | 0.11% | 0.33% |
| 4 | Melissa | Marksman | 56.32% | 1.52% | 10.25% |
| 5 | Hanzo | Assassin | 55.80% | 0.86% | 23.95% |
| 6 | Khufra | Tank | 54.57% | 0.34% | 2.33% |
| 7 | Gloo | Tank | 54.51% | 0.70% | 48.52% |
| 8 | Minotaur | Tank/Support | 54.16% | 0.80% | 4.94% |
| 9 | Floryn | Support | 53.77% | 1.13% | 19.69% |
| 10 | Estes | Support | 53.40% | 0.64% | 38.11% |
| 11 | Sun | Fighter | 53.20% | 1.52% | 40.96% |
| 12 | Belerick | Tank | 53.19% | 1.57% | 58.65% |
| 13 | Miya | Marksman | 53.15% | 3.36% | 17.41% |
| 14 | Atlas | Tank | 53.06% | 1.07% | 22.86% |
Six supports and four tanks fill 10 of the 14 S-tier slots. That distribution tells you where Season 41's MLBB meta lives: sustain and crowd control win games. The damage dealers who made the cut, Melissa and Hanzo, got there by being difficult to draft against rather than by raw output.
Marcel: The Highest Win Rate Support in MLBB
Marcel sits at a 58.81% win rate, the highest of any hero in Mobile Legends right now. He is a roam support whose kit was reworked in Patch 2.1.88, turning him from a lockdown cage into a kill-window enabler. His Ultimate, Golden Hour, drops a stasis bubble that freezes enemies in range. After the rework, frozen enemies can now be targeted and killed by your whole team instead of sitting damage-immune. That change traded oppressive lockdown for a shorter, more interactive damage window.
His passive converts bonus HP into Hybrid Defense, and both his enhanced basic attack and Skill 2 draw damage from his Physical and Magic Defense at the same time. Every defensive item you buy is also a damage item. Clever design.
Marcel's pick rate is low at 0.28%, but his 32.16% ban rate tells the real story. Drafts do not want to deal with him. He thrives against stationary ranged carries like Cecilion, Vexana, and Hanabi who need space to kite. He struggles against high-mobility assassins like Ling and Harith who can dash out of a slow before the freeze lands. Pick him when you can name the chokepoint your team will fight at and the carry who will spend the freeze. If you cannot name both, pick a different roamer.
Rafaela and Masha: The Sustained Lane Winners
Rafaela holds a 57.75% win rate with a more accessible 1.02% pick rate. She is the pure sustain support of Mobile Legends, healing allies and cleansing debuffs with a kit that has stayed relevant through multiple meta shifts. Her ban rate of 10.73% is modest, which means she is often available in draft. If your team needs a heal-focused roamer who can keep a melee carry alive through extended fights, Rafaela is the safest pick in the S-tier pool.
Masha is the outlier on this list. She is a Fighter/Tank hybrid with a 57.0% win rate but a pick rate of just 0.11%. Almost nobody plays her, but the people who do win with her consistently. Her three-bar HP system lets her trade aggressively in the EXP lane, and her Wild-oats Fist scaling makes her a dueling threat from level 4 onward. She is the kind of hero that does not show up in every draft but punishes teams that do not respect her split-push pressure.
Both heroes benefit from the current MLBB meta favoring sustain over burst. Rafaela does it by keeping her team alive. Masha does it by being impossible to force out of lane without committing two or three heroes to the job.
Melissa: The Best Marksman in Season 41
Melissa is the highest-ranked marksman in the MLBB tier list at 56.32% win rate. Her rework in Patch 2.1.67 replaced her old S1 cooldown loop with a tighter kit where the blink chains directly into Muddles, her core tether tool. She damages enemies through an intermediary rather than hitting them directly. Muddles links enemies together so her basic attacks spread across everyone tethered. Without Muddles on the ground, she is a short-range marksman with a forward blink. With it active, she is hitting three targets at once through a single auto.
Her Ultimate, Go Away, creates a perimeter that knocks back enemies trying to close distance. Since the rework, it also grants a shield on cast that scales with her Extra Physical Attack. This turns the ult into an engage-or-disengage tool rather than a pure panic button. The shield eats the first burst while the field keeps attackers off her.
She is the wrong pick against long-range poke heroes. Xavier, Lesley, Pharsa, and Granger all operate at ranges that make the Go Away field irrelevant. Franco is the clearest disqualifier because his hook passes through the barrier without interruption. But when the enemy draft relies on melee dive, Melissa turns their engage into a meat grinder. Mobile Legends' best heroes are not always the most picked. Melissa's 1.52% pick rate is low for an S-tier carry, but her 10.25% ban rate shows that drafts respect what she does.
Hanzo: The Assassin Who Broke the Meta
Hanzo is the only assassin in S-tier, sitting at a 55.80% win rate with a 23.95% ban rate. That ban rate is the third-highest in the game behind Belerick and Gloo. Hanzo's design is built around map-wide pressure: his Ultimate lets him launch his spirit across the map to execute low-HP targets, and his passive rewards him for finishing kills with bonus movement speed and cooldown reduction.
What makes Hanzo strong in the Season 41 MLBB meta is that he punishes the sustain-heavy compositions dominating the current ranked ladder. Teams running double support setups like Rafaela plus Estes invest heavily in keeping their carries alive through healing. Hanzo ignores all of that by executing targets below a health threshold before the heal lands. Pure dopamine for the Hanzo player.
His weakness is early-game vulnerability. Hanzo needs his Ultimate to come online, and before level 4 he is one of the weakest junglers in the game. Enemy invades can set him back far enough that he never reaches his power spike. Teams that draft Hanzo need to protect his early jungle clear or accept that they are playing from behind until level 4.
Khufra and Gloo: The Tank Meta Defining MLBB Season 41
Khufra holds a 54.57% win rate and remains the most reliable engage tank in Mobile Legends. His Skill 2, Tyrant's Revenge, is a rolling ball of crowd control that can knock up multiple enemies in a line. His Ultimate, Tyrant's Rage, is a suppression that locks a single target in place for over a second. In a meta where positioning decides teamfights, Khufra's ability to disrupt an entire frontline with one skill makes him a consistent first-pick tank.
Gloo is the second tank in S-tier at 54.51% win rate, but his draft profile is completely different. His ban rate of 48.52% is the second-highest in the game. Gloo is a parasite tank rather than a frontliner. His Ultimate attaches to an enemy hero, transferring most of the damage he takes onto them. Two nerf rounds across patches 2.1.61 and 2.1.88 trimmed his passive damage reduction and attach regen, but the goo-reset loop that defines his playstyle is still intact.
The difference between the two is draft dependency. Khufra works in almost any composition because his CC is immediate and unconditional. Gloo needs a specific draft to function. He is strong against stationary carries like Cecilion and Kagura, who cannot dash out of a multi-second attachment. He is weak against Fanny, Ling, and Hayabusa because the attach loses all value the second they dash. Pick Khufra when you need a reliable tank. Pick Gloo when you can name the hero his attach will live on.
What Patch 2.1.95 Changed for the MLBB Meta
Patch 2.1.95 went live on August 4, 2026, with three ranked changes. Here is what each one does to the current meta.
Gord received a damage nerf. Gord was sitting in A-tier at 52.45% win rate before the patch, and the nerf targets his late-game scaling rather than his early poke. The goal is to reduce his ability to solo-win teamfights from the backline without removing his laning identity. Expect his win rate to drop slightly as the data settles.
Novaria received a Skill 2 buff. Novaria was already struggling in B-tier at 48.70% win rate, and the buff aims to make her mobility tool more reliable. Whether this is enough to move her up a tier depends on how much the cooldown reduction actually helps her in practice.
Kaja received a full rework into the Nazar King. His Skill 2 becomes Soaring Wings, letting him fly over obstacles. His Ultimate trades single-target suppression for Divine Binding, an area restraint that drags several enemies at once. This is the biggest meta shift in the patch. Old Kaja was a single-target pick tool. New Kaja is an area-control tank who can initiate on multiple heroes simultaneously. His ban rate of 47.0% suggests that drafts are already respecting the rework, and his win rate of 47.0% indicates that players are still learning how to use him effectively. Once the player base adapts, expect his numbers to climb.
The rest of the patch's scope sits outside ranked. 54 heroes received Brawl-only damage and durability tuning, and Chaos Clash returned on August 13 with a reworked map and a flattened 2,000 Gold equipment tier. None of that affects the ranked tier list, but it does mean the patch notes are heavier than the ranked impact suggests.
The Best MLBB Heroes by Role for Season 41
If you are looking for a quick reference by role rather than overall ranking, here are the top picks in each position based on tier and win rate.
- For Fighter, Masha leads at a 57.0% win rate, followed by Sun at 53.2% and Argus at 54.3%. All three excel in the EXP lane with different profiles. Masha is a duelist, Sun is a split-pusher with clone pressure, and Argus is a late-game carry with respawn immunity.
- For Marksman, Melissa is the clear top pick at 56.3% win rate. Miya follows at 53.1% with a much higher pick rate of 3.36%. Hanabi sits in A-tier at 52.9% and is the most most-banned marksman at 11.07%.
- For Mage, Valir and Gord lead at 52.5% win rate each. Eudora is the most banned mage at 51.7% ban rate, reflecting how much drafts hate her burst combo. Zetian rounds out the top mages at 50.9%.
- For Assassins, Hanzo is the only S-tier option at 55.8%. Hirara leads the A-tier assassins at 52.1% with an enormous 52.15% ban rate. Ling and Benedetta are reliable flex picks at 52.4% and 52.5%, respectively.
- For Tank and Support, the S-tier pool is deep. Khufra, Gloo, Minotaur, and Belerick are all S-tier tanks. Marcel, Rafaela, Floryn, and Estes are S-tier supports. Belerick's 58.65% ban rate is the highest in the entire game.
Conclusion
The Season 41 MLBB meta rewards sustain, crowd control, and draft discipline. Supports and tanks fill 10 of 14 S-tier slots because keeping your team alive and disrupting the enemy's positioning matters more than raw damage in the current ranked environment. The Kaja rework is the one change that could shift things further, but it will take another patch or two for players to unlock his full potential. If you are deciding who to prioritize in ranked, focus on heroes who fill gaps in your current roster and respect the ban patterns in your server's draft.
