Jungle Assassin is still dominant in the current META. Assassins have once again become a top-tier option, especially after objective damage to Tanks increased significantly.
In the past, Tank Junglers were the perfect and undisputed choice for years.
Now, all jungle types are still viable, Fighter or Tank Junglers can work depending on the team’s composition. However, everything comes down to team strategy and game plan.
Using a Tank Jungler means you must dominate major objectives, relying heavily on your Gold Laner and Mid Laner for damage output.
Even with the latest patch buffing Tank Jungler heroes, many thought the META would shift back. The resurgence of Roamer Damage heroes like Selena also seemed to support this shift.
While Fighter Junglers such as Fredrinn, Baxia, and Lukas have been picked occasionally, Assassin Junglers remain the priority.
Jungle Assassin Still OP in MLBB 2025 META
Jungle Assassins continue to be the meta-defining role. The top four jungle picks currently are Joy, Suyou, Hayabusa, and Hanzo.
Why is the Jungle Assassin META so strong, and why will it likely remain dominant throughout the year? There are two key reasons:
- Mobility Advantage
Assassins naturally have faster farming, rotations, and ganks.
They can chase down enemy backlines more easily, creating pressure across the map.
- Lord Control & Solo Potential
Assassins can chip away at the Lord’s HP faster and even solo it in certain situations.
The Lord’s damage now scales higher against tanky heroes, making it harder for Tank Junglers to contest without proper team support.
If the MLBB META continues to focus only on hero buffs and nerfs, without changing Lord damage mechanics or in-game objective dynamics—Jungle Assassins will remain OP for the foreseeable future.
