Best Strategist in Marvel Rivals

S Tier

Mantis excels at healing and buffing allies. Her orb-consuming abilities provide damage boosts and self-healing, regenerating automatically. Headshots provide instant orb recovery, making her potent in skilled hands, yet accessible to beginners. Her fragility necessitates careful positioning.

Luna Snow, another S-tier pick, offers both healing and offensive capabilities. Her Ice Art enhances healing and damage, while her Ultimate, Fate of Both Worlds, creates an AoE effect for either healing or damage, depending on target. Her ease of use and focus on positioning make her ideal for new players, though her damage output remains secondary to support.

A Tier

Adam Warlock's standout ability is his multi-teammate revive. His Ultimate, Quantum Zone, brings back fallen allies with temporary invincibility, even allowing multiple revives of the same character. His Avatar Life Stream heals, and Soul Bond shares damage and provides a heal-over-time effect.

Cloak & Dagger offers a blend of healing and damage. Cloak's attacks can heal allies or damage opponents, with self-sustaining healing. Dagger focuses on damage and applying Vulnerability debuffs. Dark Teleportation boosts ally movement speed and provides invisibility.

B Tier

Jeff the Land Shark, despite popularity, lacks the potent healing of higher-tier characters. His straightforward kit pales in comparison to Mantis and Warlock's more nuanced abilities. He's a decent entry-level support.

Loki's effectiveness depends heavily on player skill. He heals and summons decoys mimicking his actions, requiring precise positioning. His Ultimate allows shapeshifting into any hero for 15 seconds, utilizing their abilities.

Rocket Raccoon prioritizes utility and damage over pure healing. His Respawn Machine revives allies, but his focus leans towards offensive capabilities, making him a hybrid DPS/support. His small size makes him a vulnerable target.

Ultimately, character selection depends on personal preference and playstyle. This tier list serves as a guide, but enjoyment should be the primary factor.

Marvel Rivals is available on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.
