Marvel Rivals Character Tier List: A Comprehensive Guide

With 33 playable characters in Marvel Rivals, choosing the right hero can be challenging. This tier list, compiled after 40 hours of gameplay, ranks each character based on their effectiveness in climbing the ranks. Remember, teamwork significantly impacts success, but some heroes inherently offer a greater advantage.

This tier list prioritizes ease of effectiveness and consistent performance across various situations. Top-tier characters excel in most scenarios, while lower-tier characters require more skill and strategic team play to succeed.

S-Tier: Top Performers

• Hela: Unmatched long-range damage dealer with area-of-effect abilities. Two headshots often secure eliminations.

• Psylocke: Highly effective stealth-based character. Her invulnerable ultimate delivers significant area damage and offers repositioning.

• Mantis & Luna Snow: Exceptional support characters providing substantial healing and crowd control, crucial for protecting damage dealers.

• Dr. Strange: The strongest defender, his shield blocks many ultimates, and his portals offer strategic advantages.

A-Tier: Strong Contenders

• Winter Soldier: Devastating area-of-effect ultimate, but vulnerable during recharge.

• Hawkeye: Excellent ranged damage, but requires precision aiming and is vulnerable to melee.

• Cloak & Dagger: Unique duo excelling in both support and damage.

• Adam Warlock: Offers instant healing and teammate resurrection, but long cooldowns.

• Magneto, Thor, The Punisher: Powerful characters who heavily rely on team coordination.

• Moon Knight: Strong damage, but his ankhs can be destroyed, disrupting his strategy.

• Venom: Powerful tank, straightforward and fun to play.

• Spider-Man: High mobility, strong combo potential, but fragile.
