n the fast-paced world of Mobile Legends: Bang Bang, meta picks dominate ranked play. But what about those powerful heroes quietly sitting in the shadows, waiting for someone to unlock their full potential? While others obsess over Kalea and Hanzo, you're missing out on serious win potential from these underrated legends.
Here are 3 hidden gem heroes that are rarely picked but can absolutely swing the game in your favor.
Once a top-tier roamer, Mathilda has fallen out of favor—unjustly so. Her hybrid support-assassin style and team-wide mobility still offer amazing value.
Why she’s a gem:
Boosts team mobility, ideal for rotations and saves.
Her ultimate doubles as a peel and engage tool.
Fits into fast-paced or pickoff-focused team comps.
Best role: Roam
Best into: Squishy backliners, assassins, or when your team lacks mobility.
Belerick is built to punish heroes that rely on burst and melee aggression. His passive and item synergy make him the perfect frontline deterrent.
Why he’s a gem:
Reflects damage with Blade Armor + Passive combo.
Strong AoE crowd control with his ult.
Soaks up damage while chipping away at attackers.
Best role: Roam/Tank
Strong against: Fighters, assassins, and physical-heavy comps.
Terizla may not dash across the screen like Paquito, but underestimate his burst and you'll be watching your HP vanish. He excels in brawls and zone control.
Why he’s a gem:
Insane burst damage with AoE crowd control.
Excellent for punishing greedy dives.
Scales well with sustain and cooldown reduction.
Best role: EXP lane
Best build: Bloodlust Axe, Dominance Ice, Oracle.
Using underutilized heroes can give you the edge in draft, surprise opponents unfamiliar with their playstyle, and break the monotony of following meta trends. These heroes are strong, reliable, and just waiting for someone smart enough to pick them up.
Don't sleep on these underrated heroes. They may not be flashy, but they’re dangerous in the right hands. If you're tired of the same old picks and bans, it's time to rediscover some forgotten power.
