Assign heroes to lanes and plan your team strategy
Pick heroes for each lane, visualize team composition, and coordinate rotations across early, mid, and late game phases.
How to Plan Your MLBB Strategy
The MLBB Strategy Planner is a tactics board for planning team compositions and rotation routes across all three game phases. Start by assigning heroes to each lane in the side panel, then drag tokens onto the board to plan your team's positioning. Use the drawing tools to mark rotation routes, gank paths, and objective priorities, then tap Save image to share the phase you are on, or all three phases in one picture, with your squad. Whether you're preparing for a ranked match or coordinating with your 5-stack, planning your plays ahead of time gives your team a clear advantage from minute one.
1. Pick Your Heroes
Select heroes for both blue and red teams using the side panel. The radar chart profiles each side across six axes: Early Game, Push, Pick-off, Kill Pressure, Utility, and Team Fight.
2. Place Tokens on the Map
Pick the early, mid, or late game tab and drag the hero tokens to show where each player should be during that phase. Each phase carries on from the one before.
3. Draw Rotations
Use the drawing tools to mark rotation paths, gank timings, and objective priorities. Save the phase you are on, or all three phases, as one PNG to share with your team.
Pair this planner with the Draft Simulator to practice your ban/pick phase first, then plan your execution here. New to the battlefield?

Build a Team Composition That Wins Fights
A winning Mobile Legends lineup balances three things: a frontline that can engage and soak damage, a backline that deals it, and enough crowd control to lock targets down. As you add heroes in the side panel, the radar chart profiles each side across six axes: Early Game, Push, Pick-off, Kill Pressure, Utility, and Team Fight. It reads the shape of your picks, not whether you have a frontline: a control-heavy magic lineup with nothing durable still scores well on Utility and Team Fight. For the explicit frontline, damage-mix, and hard-CC checks, run the roster through the Lineup Maker.
Cover the core roles
Aim for a tank or roamer to engage, a gold-lane marksman or burst mage for damage, and a fighter or assassin to flank. A gap in the radar usually means a missing role.
Mix your damage
An all-physical or all-magic lineup is easy to itemize against. Blend physical and magic threats so the enemy cannot stack one defensive stat and shut you down. The radar does not split damage by type, so check the mix in the Lineup Maker.
Stack crowd control
Reliable chain CC wins teamfights and secures the Turtle and Lord. Control feeds the radar's Utility and Team Fight axes, so when both sit low, swap a pick for a stun, knock-up, or suppression.
Want a deeper synergy and counter breakdown for your five picks? Build the roster in the Lineup Maker first, then bring the comp here to map out its movements.
A Tactics Board for Scrims and Coaching
Coaches and team captains use the planner as a shared whiteboard. Before a scrim, sketch your opening rotations and objective setups so everyone knows their job at minute one. Afterward, walk back through each phase board to review what went wrong and drill the fix. Because every phase exports as a PNG, the plan drops straight into Discord or a team chat and gets all five players on the same page before the draft even starts.
It works just as well for a solo-queue 5-stack: agree on who rotates for the first Turtle, who covers vision, and where you want to force the late-game Lord fight, then play from a plan instead of pinging in the moment.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a strategy planner in MLBB?+
A strategy planner is a visual tool that lets you assign heroes to lanes, place tokens on the game map, and plan team rotations for early, mid, and late game phases. It helps teams coordinate movements and objectives before a match.
How do I plan and draw my team's rotations?+
Pick a phase (early, mid or late) above the board and drag the hero tokens into position. Each phase carries on from the one before, so you only move the heroes who change. Draw arrows to sketch rotation routes between lanes, jungle camps, and objectives like the Turtle or Lord, then coordinate your roamer and jungler movements to set up ganks and secure objectives. Tap Save image to share the phase you are on, or all three phases in one picture.
Can I save my MLBB strategy as an image?+
Yes. Tap Save image to preview your plan as a PNG, then download it or share it straight to Discord, WhatsApp, or any messaging app. The image can show the phase you are on or all three phases in one picture.
What is the difference between the strategy planner and draft simulator?+
The draft simulator focuses on the ban/pick phase, helping you practice hero selection order and counter-picks. The strategy planner picks up after the draft, letting you plan how your team will actually play the map with lane assignments and rotation paths.
Is the MLBB strategy planner free?+
Yes. The strategy planner is completely free and runs in your browser with no signup, download, or account required. You can build unlimited team compositions, draw rotation routes in all three phases, and save one phase or all three as a PNG to share with your team.
How is the strategy planner different from the interactive map?+
The interactive map is a reference for learning the Land of Dawn layout, its lanes, jungle camps, and objective timers. The strategy planner is a tactics board where you build your own plan on top of that map: assign heroes to lanes, draw rotation and gank routes, and export the result. Use the map to learn the battlefield, then the planner to script your team's plays.
