Quick answer: The strongest heroes in Mobile Legends: Bang Bang Season 35 are Fredrinn and Yu Zhong in the EXP lane, Valentina and Kagura in mid, Melissa and Beatrix in the Gold lane, Kaja and Floryn as roamers, and Fanny and Julian in the jungle. On SEA servers specifically, point-and-click crowd control and durable teamfight kits outperform skill-shot-dependent heroes due to average regional ping of 30–80ms.

S-Tier Heroes — Season 35 Dominant Picks
These heroes are warping the Season 35 ranked meta. Pick or ban in every game above Platinum.
EXP Lane: Fredrinn
Fredrinn is a fighter/tank hybrid whose kit generates combo points through ability casts, converting them into a game-changing ultimate that deals percentage-based HP damage across an area. He is genuinely difficult to itemise against — physical, magical, and hybrid builds all struggle because his ult scales off HP, not resistances.
On SEA servers, Fredrinn is even better than global stats suggest. His CC combo (Brave Assault into Energy Eruption) relies on positioning rather than precise skill-shot timing, which means the 40–60ms average ping on MY and PH servers barely affects his output. Moonton’s March 2026 patch data shows him sitting at a 54.1% winrate in Mythic-tier SEA ranked.
Mid Lane: Valentina
Valentina is the most intellectually demanding pick in Season 35 — and the most rewarding when played correctly. Her passive absorbs enemy hero skill effects; her ultimate literally copies the opponent’s ultimate, reskinned. Against a team with a strong-ultimate-reliant enemy (Aldous, Zhask, Floryn), Valentina becomes a second version of their win condition.
Gold Lane: Melissa
Melissa brings something Season 35 urgently needs: an answer to dive compositions. Her Minions and Cuddle Bear ultimate create a physical barrier that blocks dashes from heroes like Paquito, Gusion, and Saber — the three most-played assassins in SEA Gold lane this season.
Jungle: Fanny
Fanny remains the single highest-skill-ceiling hero in the game. If you have 200+ Fanny games, she is still S-tier SEA. If you are learning her, she is C-tier — the skill floor is unforgiving.
Roamer: Kaja
Kaja is the roamer that decides games this season. Divine Judgment yanks a single target out of their team, and with the March 2026 buff to Ring of Order’s slow duration (from 0.5s to 0.8s), he now has two layers of lockdown. Point-and-click CC on a roamer is exactly what SEA servers reward.
A-Tier Heroes — Strong but Not Dominant
| Hero | Role | Why A-Tier |
|---|---|---|
| Yu Zhong | EXP Lane | Sustained lane dominance; weaker teamfight ult than Fredrinn in late game |
| Kagura | Mid Lane | High ceiling; punishing on SEA ping but farmable winrate |
| Beatrix | Gold Lane | Three-kit versatility; requires stance-swapping discipline |
| Xavier | Mid Lane | Long-range poke suits patient SEA play styles |
| Floryn | Roamer | Best healing output in the game; ult can target any ally on the map |
| Julian | Jungle | Assassination potential rivals Lancelot; patch 1.8.44 buffed his S1 damage by 8% |
| Estes | Roamer | Pairs with any hypercarry; lane healing pressure forces enemy to engage or bleed |
B-Tier and C-Tier — Situational or Falling Off
| Hero | Role | When to Pick |
|---|---|---|
| Lancelot | Jungle | Against squishy, no-CC teams |
| Selena | Mid/Support | Strong when the enemy has two skill-shot-reliant junglers |
| Miya | Gold Lane | Extended turtle games only |
| Lapu-Lapu | EXP Lane | Counter-pick to dive fighters |
| Diggie | Roamer | Counters stun-lock comps hard |
C-Tier to avoid in solo ranked: Sun, Argus, Zhask.
SEA Server Meta: Why This List Reads Differently
Most MLBB tier lists are pulled from global winrate aggregators combining CN, NA, EU, and SEA data. CN and KR server players operate on sub-20ms connections. The average ping on major SEA servers runs between 30ms (Singapore) and 80ms (Philippine rural connections).
Season 35 SEA meta rewards: (1) point-and-click crowd control over skill-shot CC, (2) durable teamfighters over glass-cannon carries, (3) mechanically simple hypercarry marksmen over technical attack-speed reset heroes.
Common Mistakes When Picking Heroes in Ranked
- Drafting counters you cannot execute — play your champion pool, not the counter chart.
- Picking hypercarries into three-tank lineups — pivot to Floryn or Estes.
- Ignoring roamer synergy at draft — Kaja only works if your mid laner follows up within one second.
- Playing B-tier into an open S-tier — build your draft assuming Fredrinn and Kaja are taken.
- Refusing to adapt between patches — check the official Moonton patch notes after every update.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best hero in Mobile Legends right now?
Fredrinn is the single strongest hero in Mobile Legends: Bang Bang Season 35 as of March 2026. His percentage-based HP damage ultimate is difficult to itemise against, his CC combo is point-and-click friendly for SEA server ping conditions, and he posted a 54.1% winrate at Mythic tier on SEA servers. Kaja is a close second as a roamer win-condition.
Which hero is best for ranking up in MLBB?
For solo queue climbing specifically, Kaja (Roamer) and Melissa (Gold Lane) are the two highest-impact picks for pushing rank in Season 35.
What is the current MLBB meta?
Season 35 meta is a durable teamfight meta centred on Fredrinn in the EXP lane and Kaja as the roamer win-condition. The meta disfavours assassins and mobile glass-cannons following the March 2026 defensive item buffs.
Who are the best supports in Mobile Legends Season 35?
The top three roamers are Kaja (S-tier), Floryn (A-tier), and Estes (A-tier). Franco remains a B-tier pick whose hook is high-variance but game-winning when it lands on a carry.
Is a specific hero still good in Season 35?
Lancelot is B-tier. Gusion is unlisted due to SEA ping sensitivity making his full combo unreliable above Platinum. Lapu-Lapu dropped from A to B after the March 2026 EXP lane rework.
