How to Use Itembuild - Complete Guide

From the homepage, tap "Start Draft" to open the draft assistant — your main workspace for building the perfect team.

The page has three areas: (left) the hero list, (center) your team and the enemy team, plus Auto Build and AI Build for your selected hero, and (right) pick and ban suggestions.

The left panel lists every MLBB hero. Use the search bar to find a hero by name — type partial names like "Hay" to see Hayabusa.

Filter by role with the role buttons (All, Mage, Assassin, Fighter, Tank, Marksman, Support). Tap a role to show only those heroes; tap All to clear the filter.

Heroes already on your team or the enemy team are dimmed and pushed to the bottom, so the list always shows what's still available first.

This is all you need to start: add one hero to your team. The moment you do, the engine instantly generates a complete core build plus an auto-recommended emblem and battle spell. Each hero card has two + buttons:

Each hero you add gets the lane that best fits its role — a Marksman goes to Gold Lane, a Tank to Roam, and so on. You can change this anytime (see Lanes below).

Everything else — lane, enemies, your teammates — is optional. Add them to make the build sharper, but a single pick already gives you a working build.

Every hero on your team has its own lane: Gold Lane, Exp Lane, Mid Lane, Jungle, or Roam. The lane changes which build the engine picks for that hero.

This matters most for multi-role heroes — the same hero in Mid Lane vs Gold Lane gets a different build, emblem, and spell. To change a hero's lane, open the lane menu under its portrait, or drag the hero onto a teammate to swap their lanes. Two heroes can share a lane, but that lane is flagged with a warning.

Select any ally hero to see its recommended 6-item build. It's built for the hero's role and lane, then adapted to the enemy team:

• Penetration items when enemies stack tanks or high defense
• Anti-heal items when enemies have strong healers or lifesteal
• Resist & defense items against heavy burst — magic defense vs mages, armor vs physical

The more enemy heroes you add, the more precisely the build counters them. With no enemies, you still get a solid standard core build. Auto Build remains free to use.

AI Build reviews the Auto Build candidates against your hero, lane, and draft, then explains each item choice. When the draft calls for it, it also adds a Match Plan. It may keep the same items; read the reasons and trade-offs to understand the choice. Results are generated only when you request them.

• Choose an ally hero and set its lane. Add enemy heroes or teammates that are already known so the draft context is more complete.
• In the results panel, select the "AI Build" tab. You need to sign in with Google and verify your email before using it.
• Read the summary, six-item order, and reasons for the choices, plus the Match Plan when it is shown, before deciding which build you want to use.
• Each successful AI Build uses one credit. If you generate again, another successful result also uses one credit.

AI Build does not guarantee that one build is always right. Compare it with Auto Build and adapt to your gold, the pace of the game, and what is actually happening in the match. A credit is only deducted after a successful result; if AI Build fails or takes too long, your credit is not used.

Along with the build, the engine picks a main emblem with its Tier 1–3 talents, plus a battle spell. The emblem and talents follow the hero's role and lane. The spell can also change with the enemy draft, except in the jungle, where it stays Retribution.

Want to fine-tune? Open the Emblem & Spell selector to swap the emblem, any talent, or the spell for your own preference, then hit "Reset to suggestion" anytime to return to the recommended setup.

Add enemy heroes to unlock counter-aware builds and draft suggestions:

• Pick Suggestions — the best heroes to pick next, scored on counters, synergy, and lane fit
• Ban Suggestions — the enemy heroes most dangerous to your composition
• Sharper counters — your build shifts to exploit the enemy lineup

Tap any pick suggestion to add that hero straight to your team. Check ban suggestions before the ban phase so you never let a counter through.

Tap an enemy hero to open its item sheet. Mark the items that hero has already bought, or flag it as fed when it is the biggest threat on their team. Your build updates right away, and every slot that changed shows the item it replaced.

The live "Draft Analysis — You vs Enemy" panel sits above your build. Once both your team and the enemy team have at least 3 heroes, it shows a head-to-head edge percentage built from four factors:

• Hero matchups — how your picks fare head-to-head against theirs
• Lane coverage — whether both teams have a hero in every lane
• Damage mix — physical vs magic balance on both sides
• Crowd control — which side brings more crowd control to fights

It also flags which roles or capabilities each side is still missing. It's an on-paper composition estimate; the actual match is still decided by gameplay.

Itembuild is fully responsive — keep it open in a second tab while you draft in-game:

• Tap "Heroes" to slide up the hero list as a bottom sheet
• Tap "Suggest" to slide up the pick & ban suggestions
• Your team and the selected hero's build stay visible in the center for quick reference
• Tap one of your heroes to show its build, or tap an enemy hero to mark its items

Open Itembuild before the draft starts so you're ready the moment pick & ban begins.
