However, certain heroes performed better than others in the game.

What’s A Tier List?

Marvel Rivals official image with characters.

While all these heroes perform well in their own right, some are simply a better pick than others.

Great picks, but require a lot of practice and a keen understanding of your teammates' abilities.

Highly situational heroes, and are best left to players who know exactly what they are doing.

Squirrel Girl, Punisher and Cloak and Dagger.

Not as powerful as other heroes in the game, and contribute little to the match.

There’s likely a better option on the roster.

Character Classes

You’ll notice a small icon next to each character’s name.

This indicates the class they belong to, andthere are primarily three kinds of heroesin the game.

Moreover, a character’steam-up abilitiescan help them feel even more powerful.

They are truly hard to miss.

The raccoon with a mean mouth has an even meaner kit.

Doctor Strange (Vanguard)

Doctor Strange is easilythe most versatile hero in the game.

Jeff also has healing abilities, but isn’t the best when it comes to being a support character.

Venom in Marvel Rivals.

His arrows can eliminate opponents one by one,even when hes staying in the back battle area.

Hes ideal for those who want to stay sneaky and still contribute to the damage output for the team.

Hawkeyes high DPS potential makes him a powerful sniper whos an essential pick in the game.

Moon Knight in Marvel Rivals.

Additionally, she can also briefly teleport to a different location as and when she pleases.

Adam Warlock (Strategist)

Adam Warlock’s revival abilities cancompletely overhaul an ally’s comeback experience.

After all, who doesn’t want to get back into the fight quickly?

Adam Warlock in Marvel Rivals.

However, long cooldowns can often make him a careful pick rather than an obvious one.

He’s always in the air, sometimes making itdifficult for enemies to keep track of him.

However, his movement can make him difficult to master, even if you’re an experienced player.

Squirrel Girl thumbnail in Marvel Rivals.

Staying high up in the air is important for a hero like Iron Man.

Iron Fist (Duelist)

Iron Fist is theperfect blend of mobility and damage.

The more he moves, the more versatile his attacks are.

Iron Fist thumbnail in Marvel Rivals.

His punches and combos are best landed when youre constantly cruising around the map, and parrying incoming attacking.

His ultimate boosts your attacks, giving you more strength and dexterity.

Heroes like Iron Fist and Wolverine are most efficient when mobile.

Iron Man in Marvel Rivals.

Keep moving and don’t stand still for too long!

Moreover, she can freeze enemies for a few seconds, dealing considerable damage with her primary attacks.

Simply put; there are better healers in the game.

Thor in Marvel Rivals.

You dont have to think much about her kit, and that makes her playstyle quite easy to pick.

Rather than his abilities,think of Loki’s deceptive prowess as what makes him stand out.

Tricking your opponents can take practice, but it’s well worth the effort.

Storm in Marvel Rivals.

Her ultimate ability grants everyone around hera boost in health (along with over-health) and attack power.

you could use Mantis as an “escape tool” hero.

Try and put enemies to sleep in case you want to exit a fight.

Luna Snow in Marvel Rivals.

Even though his Metallic Curtain doesn’t hold for too long, it can provide allies with some assistance.

Unfortunately,his damage output is minimal and so are his defensive abilities.

But hey, he can be a fun hero if you’re not taking the game too seriously.

Groot in Marvel Rivals.

A hero like Star-Lord is best played as a flanker.

These types of heroes excel when you have map awareness.

Scarlet Witch in Marvel Rivals.

In addition to blocking incoming attacks, he can also throw it, allowing him to deal long-range damage.

Winter Soldier (Duelist)

Whats even better is how hes able to pull enemies towards himclosing the necessary gap.

Loki in Marvel Rivals.

Or, he can dash towards them, using his weapon without worrying about aiming too much.

You’ll start feeling like a tank once you get used to his kit!

His ability to consistently deal damage while healing up makes him a highly versatile damage-focused character.

Magneto in Marvel Rivals.

Nothing seems to be impossible for this one.

Use Wolverine’s ultimate ability to take out more than a few enemy heroes at once.

Captain America thumbnail in Marvel Rivals.

Unfortunately,his tiny hitbox and extreme agilitycan work against him, making him weak in fights.

This one’s a true skirmisher.

When not in his Hulk form,Bruce Banner still has a Gamma Ray Gunthat helps him survive.

Mantis in Marvel Rivals.

However, he’s prone to being defeated easily this way.

When playing a tanky hero, get used to taking a lot of damage.

When paired with a good healer (such Mantis and Luna Snow), you could be unstoppable!

Magik in Marvel Rivals.

Unless you’re perfectly fine playinga hero with varying melee attacks, think twice before picking this one up.

But, at its foundation, Peni Parker isn’t a powerful contributor to the team.

Hermobility can be utilized for certain objectives.

Black Widow thumbnail in Marvel Rivals.

WhileCloak deals damage, Dagger serves the role of a supportive healer.

Mastering this playstyle can be a bit tricky, but worth your time.

Synergizing between these two abilities is the key to victory.

Star-Lord in Marvel Rivals.

She focuses on dashing through areas, often turning almost invisible to stay hidden from opponents.

Her attacks (when landed properly)can eliminate most enemies within a few shots.
