What Is the MLBB Matchup Matrix?
The MLBB matchup matrix is a hero vs hero heatmap that shows who beats who in Mobile Legends: Bang Bang. Every hero is mapped against every other hero, so you can see at a glance whether a lane is favorable, even, or a losing fight before you lock your pick. It is built for counter-picking in ranked and tournament drafts: find the heroes that punish an enemy pick, avoid the matchups stacked against you, and read a strategy tip for the tough lanes.
For a single hero's full counter list, recommended items, and ban priority, open that hero in the Counter Picker. To see raw win, pick, and ban rates by rank, head to hero statistics.
How to Read the Heatmap
Read the heatmap
Each cell is the row hero's win rate against the column hero. Green means favorable (roughly 54% and up), gold is an even matchup (about 47% to 53%), and red is unfavorable (46% and below). Deeper colors mean more decisive matchups.

How Matchup Scores Are Calculated
Matchups with a reliable head-to-head sample use measured win rates drawn from Moonton's official GMS and MAPI statistics, layered with our editorial counter notes to explain why one hero holds the edge. These verified matchups carry a specific strategy tip when you open the cell.
Pairings without enough ranked data to be confident are shown as a neutral estimate close to 50% and are clearly labeled Estimated when you open them, so you always know which numbers are measured and which are approximations. Win rates shift every patch, so treat the matrix as current-meta guidance (Patch 2.1.88) rather than a fixed ruleset, and confirm against the latest patch notes before a serious draft.

Matchup FAQ
1How do hero matchups work in Mobile Legends?▼
A matchup is how one hero performs against another in a head-to-head lane or teamfight. Some heroes hard-counter others through range, crowd control, sustain, or burst, while many pairings are close to even and come down to skill and rotations. The matchup matrix maps every hero against every other hero so you can spot favorable lanes before you lock in.
2How do I find the best counter for a specific hero?▼
Search for the hero in the matrix or filter by role, then read across their row: each cell is that hero's win rate against the column hero. Red cells are the matchups they lose, so those column heroes are the counters you want; green cells are heroes they beat. Click any cell for the win rate and a strategy tip. For a deeper breakdown of a single hero's counters, items, and bans, open that hero's page in our Counter Picker.
3How accurate are the matchup win rates?▼
Matchups backed by ranked counter data show a measured win rate and a specific strategy tip sourced from Moonton's GMS and MAPI statistics plus our editorial counter notes. Pairings without a reliable head-to-head sample are shown as a neutral estimate close to 50% and are labeled Estimated when you open the cell, so you can tell verified matchups apart from approximations.
4What do favorable, even, and unfavorable matchups mean?▼
Cells are color-coded by the favored hero's win rate. Roughly 54% and above is favorable (green), about 47% to 53% is an even matchup (gold), and 46% or below is unfavorable (red). The further a value sits from 50%, the more decisive the matchup, so deep green or deep red pairings are the ones most worth respecting in draft.
5How often is the matchup data updated?▼
Win rates track the live ranked meta and refresh with each Mobile Legends patch, so counters shift as heroes are buffed, nerfed, or reworked. The current patch is shown beneath the matrix. Always cross-check against the latest patch notes before a ranked or tournament draft.
6Is the MLBB matchup matrix free to use?▼
Yes. The matchup matrix is completely free with no account or download required. Browse every hero vs hero pairing, filter by role, and open any cell for a counter tip. It pairs with our free Counter Picker, Tier List, and Draft Simulator.
