Best Heroes to Dominate Solo Rank in Mobile Legends Season 36 (Ultimate Guide)

If you're grinding solo in Mobile Legends: Bang Bang this Season 36, chances are you've hit a wall. Whether it's trolls, feeders, or teammates who think bushes are comfy hangout spots, solo ranking has become brutal. But don't worry—this guide breaks down the best solo carry heroes per lane and how to use them effectively, even when your teammates seem allergic to strategy.

EXP Lane Carries

1. Masha – The Solo Rank Monster

Masha is made for solo carry. With her skills scaling on max HP and physical attack, she demolishes 1v1 matchups—even early game titans like Dyrroth. Her Skill 2 slows attack speed, and her Skill 4 heals an entire HP bar, making her an outplay machine.

Best Emblem: Temporal Reign
Item Build: Sky Piercer, Sea Halberd, Immortality or Rose Gold
Tip: Wait for your first core item + ult before diving. She’s nearly unstoppable afterward.

2. Freya – The 1v5 Goddess

A one-trick favorite for good reason. Freya’s insane attack speed and basic attack synergy allow her to burst down multiple enemies when left unchecked.

Best In Low Ranks: Because most players don’t have enough CC or coordination to shut her down.
Weakness: Struggles against CC-heavy comps. In those games, Masha is the better pick.

Mid Lane Carriers

3. Pharsa – Map-Wide Dominance

Recently buffed, Pharsa now rotates faster with her Wings by Wings and outputs high AoE damage through her ult.

Playstyle: Roam-heavy. Constantly assist side lanes.
Win Condition: Dominate team fights with positioning.

4. Cecilion – The Stack King

No major changes, but Cecilion’s late-game scaling remains ridiculous. He’s beginner-friendly and a nightmare to deal with once he hits 100+ stacks.

Tip: Survive early. Spam spells. Watch damage numbers explode late-game.

5. Selena – The Snowball Assassin

Post-buff, her combos are smoother, but she's high-risk, high-reward. Miss too many arrows, and you're a non-factor.

Build: Max cooldown for frequent arrow spamming.
Best Role: Mid, not roam. Roam Selena lacks consistency and team support.

6. Zhuxin – Still a Beast After Rework

Though her mana drains faster, the buff to her Skill 2’s damage makes her a stronger burst mage.
Strategy: Focus the enemy carry.

Note: Still viable and dominant if used correctly.

Roaming Heroes

7. Hylos – The Bulky Utility Tank

Despite nerfs, Hylos remains powerful. He offers sustain, slow, stun, and initiation, making him perfect for chaotic solo queue.

Don’t Overcommit: You're tanky, not immortal.

8. Jawhead – Pick-Off Specialist

Can play full tank or semi-damage. Jawhead’s combo can delete gold laners and even chunk down tanks.
Playstyle: Aggressive, target squishies.

9. Gatotkaca – Ultimate Teamfight Setup

With his insane passive scaling defense and reliable AoE ult, Gatotkaca remains a great initiator in disorganized solo fights.

10. Estes – Healing Win Condition

Stick to your carry and make them immortal. Most solo rank enemies don’t know how to deal with constant healing.

Gold Lane Power Picks

11. Granger – Still Broken

Despite nerfs, Granger’s burst and mobility make him hard to counter. Pro scene pick or ban.
Combo Tip: Land Skill 1 consistently. It’s your bread and butter.

12. Brody – Back with Buffs

Faster animation post-skill use = scarier trades. Build raw damage and abuse your passive.

Style: One-hit combo burst instead of DPS spam.

13. Moskov – Cooldown Slayer

His passive lets you spam blink + stun, and his global ult adds map pressure.

Build: Trinity for CDR, or Crit for burst.

14. Miya – Late-Game Poison

Often underestimated, Miya shines late game with insane DPS and survivability.

Pro Tip: Hug tower early. Shine later.

15. Layla – Underrated Beast

Her massive range makes her untouchable when well-positioned. Late-game god, early-game liability.

Tip: Don’t pick her unless your team can help early.

Jungle Carry Tier

16. X.Borg Or Lucas – Damage Overdrive

Recent buffs to his ult made Lucas overpowered.

Perks: AoE burst, uninterruptible skills, stat boosts.
Pro Tip: Abuse his current state before nerfs arrive.

17. Assassins – Still Meta but Risky

Fanny, Joy, Hayabusa, Hanzo—all top bans, all require practice.

• Fanny: Master or avoid.

• Hayabusa: Surprisingly buffed despite recent nerfs.

• Joy: Hard to master.

• Hanzo: Great if you position well.

18. Julian – The Versatile Assassin

Still dominant thanks to adaptive playstyle and insane burst/sustain.

Build: Rose Gold synergy still works post-role change.

19. Suyou – The Shinobi Problem

Great stats, tons of mobility, and damage. Not banned often, so abuse him while you can.

Perks: Assassin speed + fighter durability.

20. Karina – Basic Attack Counter

Super effective against squishy comps and easy to play.

Pro Tip: Dive squishies, snowball fast.

21. Alice – Sustain Queen

As nerfs hit other heroes, Alice’s ult sustain makes her increasingly viable.

Use When: Enemies lack burst.

22. Alpha – 1v5 Machine

Insanely strong if mastered. Still underused.

Honorable Mentions

YSS & Aulus – Still solo-capable if you’re comfortable.
Khaled (XP Lane) – Viable, but CA (Roam) is stronger in solo queue.

Final Thoughts

Season 36 is stacked with strong solo carries across all roles. The key isn’t just picking OP heroes, but knowing when and how to use them. Whether it’s Masha’s dueling, Pharsa’s map control, or Lucas’ AoE burst, the right pick at the right time can turn even the worst team into a winning one.
