“The enemy often knows you, better than you do.” -Hanabi, MLBB
Hanabi is a marksman-type hero with skills and abilities such as ricocheting basic attacks, crowd control (CC), AOE (Area of Effect), and a powerful lifesteal. This hero is underrated among the players of Mobile Legends but she is a beast during late game.
Although she seems to have great attributes, this hero is pretty easy to counter. One of her weaknesses is having no escape mechanism, which makes her a squishy target for most and solely relies on a set of items to get stronger.
Nobody backs down without a fight. I can relate if you’re looking to go deeper into how you can easily defeat this hero. Next time you find yourself in a prolonged battle with Hanabi, is the list of the Top 10 best heroes you can use to counter and secure your victory in a ranked game.
1. Hayabusa

"There is no end, in the way of ninja." -Hayabusa, MLBB
To stir up some drama, we are starting with Hayabusa. If you read the character's storyline in Mobile Legends, you will find that these two grew up to be friendly rivals, engaging in a duel every full moon because Hanabi keeps getting defeated. You can prove this true in the actual game.
"No need to be so jealous, I was born for this." -Gusion, MLBB
According to the official website of MLBB, Gusion is the main counter for Hanabi because of his superior burst and movement displacement capabilities. He has no problem getting close to Hanabi and dealing high magic damage.
Hanabi mainly depends on her team's protection, especially during the early game. Here we have another assassin in line. Hanabi will not stand a chance against heroes with high mobility and burst damage such as ling. With this hero, even tower-hugging wouldn't be a very safe option.
"Even the most glorious family could have a dark side." -Aamon, MLBB
Aamon’s skill set provides a unique, game-changing combo that enables him to enter a camouflaged state that makes him hard to detect. His abilities also make sneaking on an enemy as smooth as butter, which is only a few of the many reasons he is one of the best counters for Hanabi.
"Standing before you is the greatest magician in the world!" -Harley, MLBB
Harley is another mage-type hero often used as a “core” in Mobile Legends.This hero has the advantage of having an excellent escape mechanism that allows him to teleport a few meters closer or away from his enemy, inflicting flawless burst damage.
“The worst thing in the world, having no one to fight.” -Martis, MLBB
To add up a little spark on our list and give you more versatility in different lanes, for all the fighter mains, Martis might be the best choice for you. His skills give you the ability to inflict slow and immune effects that even Hanabi’s ultimate won’t be able to restrain from taking her down.
“Every scar of mine is a badge of glory.” -Paquito, MLBB
Another one for the EXP laners. The hero tribute for the Pinoy Pride, Manny Pacquiao, has always been a crowd favorite when it comes to picking since his release in January 2021. Paquito takes the upper hand of being a fighter hero with remarkable durability, delivering heavy damage and a skill set somewhat like an assassin.
“Time and tide wait for no man, nor girl.” -Beatrix, MLBB
Now that we’re down to the last three heroes, we're off to tackle the battle of the fittest in the gold lane. Beatrix is currently ranked as one the strongest marksman in Mobile Legends. She can deal a whopping 1200 base damage with one of her skills (Renner)— with the right build and complete level— she has no problem executing a one-shot, one-kill.
It may be a surprise that Lesley made it to our list. Still, despite having low durability like Hanabi, this hero is known for being a savage trickster. She can easily land sneaky attacks delivering critical damage to her opponent. Her first skill grants her movement speed and momentarily conceals herself, increasing her mobility.
To complete our list, we have Irithel. She has more resemblance to Hanabi than all the other heroes mentioned for your familiarity. For the early part of the game, the best way to use her is by playing safe. However, unlike other marksman heroes, she can attack enemies with her arrows while chasing or running away.
A girl with a max health bar, super human strength and reflexes, asgardian lineage, pyrokinesis, exceptional marksmanship and is the director of international peace keeping organization..
