Marvel Rivals tier list

Marvel Rivals Character Tier List: Who Reigns Supreme?

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 is key, but some heroes consistently outperform others.

This ranking prioritizes ease of use and overall effectiveness. Top-tier heroes excel in most situations, while lower-tier characters require more skill and strategic team play to succeed.

S-Tier: The Elite

• Hela: Unmatched long-range duelist. Massive damage output and area-of-effect abilities make her a top contender.
• Psylocke: High-skill, high-reward character. Invisibility and powerful area-of-effect ultimate make her incredibly effective.
• Mantis & Luna Snow: Top-tier support characters providing crucial healing and crowd control. Their ultimates offer exceptional protection.
• Dr. Strange: The ultimate defender. His shield and portal abilities offer unmatched tactical flexibility.

A-Tier: Strong Contenders

• Winter Soldier: Devastating area-of-effect ultimate, but vulnerable during cooldown.
• Hawkeye: Exceptional ranged damage, but requires precision aiming and is vulnerable in close combat.
• Cloak & Dagger: Unique duo excelling in both damage and support.
• Adam Warlock: Instant healing and resurrection abilities, but long cooldowns.
• Magneto, Thor, The Punisher: Powerful but heavily reliant on team coordination.
• Moon Knight: Strong bouncing damage, but vulnerable to disruption.
• Venom: Powerful tank with high damage output, but straightforward gameplay.
• Spider-Man: High mobility, but fragile and requires skillful chasing.
