Mobile Legends Total Heroes and Full Roster

There are 132 playable heroes officially released in Mobile Legends: Bang Bang in 2026. The MLBB hero roster keeps changing with updates, reworks, and new releases from Moonton, so the exact hero count can look inconsistent across older lists. Right now, 132 is the cleanest current list to use, even though some pages still show 131 from an earlier update cycle. Below, you’ll find the total heroes count, the role categorization across all six roles, lane recommendations such as mid lane, gold lane, roam, offlane, and jungle, plus the full A to Z roster so you can check whether names like Aamon, Akai, and Aldous are in the current list.

How Many Heroes Are in Mobile Legends in 2026?

The direct answer is 132 MLBB heroes. That total reflects the officially released hero roster available in the original server during 2026.

The reason some players still see 131 is simple: older database snapshots and wiki pages can lag behind live updates. If you want the current list for ranked prep, collection tracking, or role planning, use 132 as the latest confirmed hero count.

Total heroes: 132
Total roles: 6
Core role groups: Tank, Fighter, Marksman, Mage, Support, Assassin
Roster status: officially released heroes only

MLBB Heroes by Role

Role categorization in Mobile Legends overlaps. A single hero can belong to two roles, which is why the totals below add up to more than 132. That is normal in MLBB, and it matters for drafting because many heroes flex between lane positions and team jobs.

Fighter: 45
Mage: 32
Assassin: 28
Tank: 25
Marksman: 23
Support: 15

Fighters lead the game’s role distribution, which fits the current design of flexible EXP lane and skirmish-heavy drafts. Mages remain the second-largest group, giving mid lane players a wide pool of burst, poke, and utility picks. If you are tracking patch shifts, the broadest hero pools still sit in Fighter, Mage, and Assassin.

Lane Positions in 2026

ML heroes are easier to understand when you look at them by lane positions instead of role names alone. A Tank does not always roam, and a Fighter does not always stay in offlane. MLBB uses role identity and lane recommendations together.

Mid lane: mostly Mages, plus a few utility or burst flex picks
Gold lane: mostly Marksmen, with select scaling ranged heroes
Roam: Tanks and Supports, plus some engage Fighters
Offlane: usually EXP lane Fighters and durable flex picks
Jungle: Assassins, Fighters, and a few fast-clearing Tanks or Marksmen

Notable Names Near the Top

1. Aamon – Burst jungle assassin

Aamon remains one of the more recognizable Assassin picks in the current list because he fits the jungle role cleanly and punishes disorganized backlines. He belongs near the top of any scan of MLBB heroes because players often check early-letter names first when confirming whether a roster list is current.

What it is: a stealth-focused Assassin with burst damage
Why it stands out: fast pickoff threat in jungle drafts
Best for: players who prefer jungle tempo and isolated kills
Quick tip: Aamon is easier to slot into solo queue comps than many feast-or-famine assassins

2. Akai – Reliable roam control

Akai is still one of the clearest examples of how role and lane recommendations intersect in MLBB. He is a Tank first, but his practical value comes from roam pressure, peel, and objective control.

What it is: a Tank with strong displacement and teamfight utility
Why it stands out: dependable engage and anti-dive value
Best for: roam players who want front-line control
Quick tip: Akai fits balanced comps better than greedy damage-heavy roam picks

3. Aldous – Scaling offlane threat

Aldous stays popular because he represents the classic scaling Fighter fantasy in Mobile Legends. He is one of the names many players use as a benchmark for offlane or EXP lane pressure, especially in slower matches that allow stack-based growth.

What it is: a Fighter built around late-game scaling
Why it stands out: huge punish potential once farmed
Best for: EXP lane players comfortable with slower early pacing
Quick tip: Aldous needs cleaner farm windows than standard lane bullies

If you are comparing roster changes year to year, the older 2025 hero count helps show how quickly the current list expands.

Lane Snapshot

Some heroes are straightforward. Layla is a gold lane Marksman, Tigreal is a roam Tank, and Xavier is a mid lane Mage. Others are more flexible, which is why role categorization alone never tells the full story.

Lane Position	Most Common Roles	Examples
Mid lane	Mage, Support flex	Xavier, Cecilion, Zhuxin
Gold lane	Marksman	Beatrix, Brody, Wanwan
Roam	Tank, Support	Akai, Tigreal, Rafaela
Offlane	Fighter, Tank flex	Aldous, Yu Zhong, Terizla
Jungle	Assassin, Fighter	Aamon, Ling, Martis

This also explains why draft discussions often sound different from role labels. Players talk about jungle, mid lane, gold lane, roam, and offlane because those lane positions decide rotations and objective timing more than class names do.

What the 132 Count Means

The 132 total matters for more than trivia. It affects how hard counter-picking becomes, how many bans feel valuable in ranked, and how much knowledge players need to keep up. A larger hero roster means more overlap in roles, more flex picks, and more draft traps for players who only memorize class labels.

For players coming back after a break, the fastest way to catch up is to sort the current list in three ways:

Alphabetical list for collection tracking
Role categorization for draft planning
Lane recommendations for actual match use

Players checking other MLBB account tools often end up using pages like MLBB redeem codes alongside roster lists, especially after major updates and events.

Final Thoughts

The current Mobile Legends total heroes count in 2026 is 132. If you want the most practical way to use that number, track the hero roster by A to Z for completeness, then sort those same heroes by roles and lane positions for ranked play. That approach keeps the current list useful instead of turning it into a long name dump.
