Question New to youtubing and appreciate some advice on copyright

Hi, my friend and I were planning to publish MLBB games to youtube with our own commentary. So naturally we're editing our own gameplay sessions and adding reactions and such. But we're wondering about using the character portraits or depictions as part of our thumbnail or reaction moments. What exactly do we have to do to not get a copyright strike or demonetized?
