The Gold Laner in Mobile Legends: Bang Bang is easily one of the most important roles in the game. You’ll be the main damage source of your team and to do that, you’ll have to make sure that not only you farm well, but you also avoid getting unnecessary deaths.
In this guide, I’ll show you everything you’ll need to know on how to play the Gold Lane role as effectively as possible.
Complete GOLD Lane Guide | How To Play
For those new to the concept, the Gold Lane is one of the three lanes on the map, randomly assigned as either Gold or EXP lanes at the beginning.
Identifying the Gold Lane is crucial, and this is indicated by a Gold Dollar Icon on the mini-map. Here, gold from cannon minions give out 35% bonus gold, which means faster access to items.
As a Gold Laner, your primary role is to deal substantial damage, especially in the later stages of the game. And to do that, you’ll have to farm, a LOT.
That’s why you’d want to pick heroes designed to do the job perfectly. Your early and mid-game focus should be on efficient farming to gain levels and gold, enhancing your damage output.
Ideal heroes for this role are those with high damage scaling, particularly Marksmen and occasionally Mages like Lunox and Harith.

Early & Mid Game
For the Early game, the Gold Lane role demands strategic positioning. Make sure that you stay on the safer side of the lane to minimize vulnerability to ganks – and that you last hit as much as possible (this applies for all stages of the game).
Speaking of ganks, know that you carefully analyze the situations if you’ll be able to survive them or not – you’re more likely to survive if there’s a nearby allied hero or enemy is not capable of fully diving you.
If the situation is the opposite, go to your Tier 2 tower to stay safe (You’ll lose some farm, but it’ll be better than losing farm, and giving away a kill).
Also, constant map awareness is crucial to avoid surprise attacks. Keep in mind to use bushes to stay out of vision as well.
As for the Mid game, you can start rotating with your team, while prioritizing map awareness and safe farming.
Although stay cautious against overconfidence (over-extending) – and always keep in mind not to facecheck bushes carelessly.
Late Game
Now, for the Late game, teamwork becomes super important. As the Gold Laner, you should stay close to teammates during teamfights.
Make sure that you position well & properly, use your skills efficiently, and that you prioritize taking down towers.
This is because you’ll be one of the main damage sources of your team at this stage of the game. One wrong move can cost the game. So, defensive item choices are recommended for survivability.
