To change your hero interface in Mobile Legends: Bang Bang.US, tap the Heroes tab on the bottom navigation bar and select the layout toggle icon located in the corner of the roster header. This control alternates the hero roster between an expanded 3D showcase view and a compact grid layout. You can also customize the featured hero model on your main home lobby through your player profile.

Step-by-Step Guide to Changing the Hero Roster Layout

The game client saves your display preference locally, meaning your chosen layout remains active across future game sessions until you switch it again. Follow these steps to adjust the roster display:

  1. Launch Mobile Legends: Bang Bang.US and enter the main lobby.
  2. Tap the Heroes tab located on the bottom navigation bar.
  3. Locate the layout view toggle icon in the corner of the roster header.
  4. Tap the toggle icon to switch between the detailed showcase cards and the compact icon grid.
  5. Select any role filter (such as Tank, Fighter, Mage, Assassin, Marksman, or Support) to confirm your view preference remains applied.

Compact Grid vs. Detailed Showcase Layout

Choosing an interface layout depends on whether you prioritize swift roster navigation or cosmetic presentation.

FeatureCompact Grid LayoutDetailed Showcase Layout
Visual FormatMulti-row icon matrix with role badgesFull 3D character model with backdrop
Browsing SpeedQuick overview of the entire rosterStep-by-step swipe-through format
Information ShownHero avatars, roles, and mastery levelsIndividual hero stats, skills, and skins
Hardware DemandLow GPU and memory usageHigher rendering load and battery drain
Best PurposeDraft planning and fast pre-match checksPreviewing cosmetic skins and animations

The compact grid is recommended for competitive play because it minimizes scrolling and allows you to scan counter-picks quickly. The detailed showcase view is best suited for previewing newly acquired skins, hero animations, and skill demonstrations.

You can also change the hero interface on your main home screen by replacing the default character with any owned hero and skin:

  1. Tap your player avatar in the upper-left corner of the main lobby to open your profile.
  2. Select the hero showcase display or tap the edit icon attached to your featured character.
  3. Choose an owned hero, such as Tigreal, Chou, Layla, Miya, or Gusion.
  4. Select an unlocked permanent skin or an active trial card from your inventory to finalize the lobby interface.

Higher-tier skins—including Collector, Epic, and Legend tiers—add custom entrance animations and unique voice lines to the lobby display. Unowned skins cannot be set as permanent lobby models.

Troubleshooting Interface Stutter and Loading Issues

If the hero interface experiences frame drops or displays blank silhouette placeholders when switching views, adjust your client settings:

  • Lower Graphic Settings: Tap the gear icon in the top-right corner to open Settings, select the Basics tab, and lower Graphics from Ultra to High or Smooth. Turn off Outline and Screen Shake to reduce UI latency.
  • Complete Asset Downloads: Incomplete resource files can cause hero models to freeze. Access the Resource Download Center from the settings menu and ensure asset downloads reach 100% over Wi-Fi.
