Best junglers in Mobile Legends: Bang Bang

In Mobile Legends: Bang Bang, you may encounter the strategy of "jungling," or taking a character between the lanes of an arena to defeat as many monsters as possible and collect gold for your team. The heroes who are best used this way specialize in quick, powerful attacks, sometimes scoring multiple hits at a time. They can be powered up early in order to farm as much gold as they can.

In this guide, we feature five of the top junglers in Mobile Legends. If getting into the trenches and fighting is something that appeals to you, you can consider one of these five heroes in your next ranked match.

Balmond is simply a bruiser, the kind of character who’s tailor-made for combat. Not only can he collect large amounts of gold in the early game, but later on, he can assist in any lane should one of your teammates need a quick backup plan thanks to his varied arsenal.

His passive Bloodthirst ability regains health with every successful kill whether it's a monster or an enemy hero, so taking damage once or twice isn't a big deal. He also has a fantastic offensive kit for jungling, headlined by the incredibly powerful, multi-hitting Cyclone Sweep. Balmond is a wonderful choice for jungling, especially for newer players.

Aamon has the ability to camouflage himself every time he connects with a special skill move, basically guaranteeing his position as an excellent jungler. His passive skill, Invisible Armor, cloaks him whenever he successfully connects with Soul Shards or Slayer Shards.

While camouflaged, Aamon moves faster, cannot be targeted by attacks – rendering offensive moves from the monsters in the jungle useless – and restores his health. Once he re-emerges, his cooldown timers reset and he can start the process over again. Jungle monsters don't stand a chance when those are the odds they're up against.

On the surface, Fredrinn's kit would have you think that he should simply stick to the lanes. His attacks are potent, and his ability to combo makes him a threat at any given moment. However, what makes him ideal for the jungle are the extra buffs he gains if his attacks do not connect with minions.

As minions never venture into the jungle, Fredrinn has free reign to gather those temporary buffs by engaging monsters, and then bouncing into the nearest lane to help a teammate in a skirmish. As such, Fredrinn is always locked between jungling and roaming, though he is very good at both.

Tanks typically focus on soaking up damage for their team, but Franco actually benefits from not being touched. Depending on how long he can go without taking damage, his Passive ability, Wasteland Force, will increase his movement speed, restore health, and stack up to 10 attack buffs for his next used skill.

The strategy for jungling with Franco is to take out all of the monsters in the beginning of the match, then take advantage of the temporarily empty jungle to stack Wasteland Force, recover health, and unleash a massively powered skill like Iron Hook or Fury Shock at an unsuspecting enemy. This will cause major damage, and give your team a leg up.

Ling has one of the most unique abilities in the entire game, as he's able to perch himself on walls like a bird and choose the right time to strike. As this puts him out of range of many monsters, he's a great choice to take on the jungle hordes.

Perch with Finch Poise, then wait for the right time to strike down Defiant Sword. The longer Ling is perched, the better chance he has of scoring a Critical Hit – scoring a ton of damage all at once.
