Marvel Rivals: Top Strategists Revealed

Mastering Support in Marvel Rivals: A Tier List of Strategist Characters

Marvel Rivals boasts a diverse roster of iconic characters, but while damage dealers often steal the spotlight, strategic support characters are crucial for team survival. This guide ranks the seven support units, focusing on their healing and buffing capabilities, to help you choose the best fit for your playstyle.

Best Strategist in Marvel Rivals

Rank	Hero
S	Mantis and Luna Snow
A	Adam Warlock and Cloak & Dagger
B	Jeff the Land Shark, Loki, and Rocket Raccoon

S Tier

Mantis excels as a healer, boosting ally damage by consuming orbs (which regenerate automatically). Headshotting instantly replenishes an orb, making her potent in skilled hands, yet accessible to beginners. Her fragility requires cautious play.

Luna Snow, another top-tier strategist, offers both healing and offensive capabilities. Her Ice Art enhances healing and damage, while her Ultimate, Fate of Both Worlds, provides AoE healing or damage depending on target. Her ease of use makes her ideal for new players, though her damage output remains secondary to her support role.

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. He also heals with Avatar Life Stream and shares damage with Soul Bond, offering a small heal-over-time effect.

Cloak & Dagger offers a balanced approach. Cloak's attacks heal allies or damage enemies, and she possesses self-healing. Dagger focuses on damage and applying Vulnerability debuffs. Dark Teleportation boosts ally movement speed and provides invisibility.

B Tier

Jeff the Land Shark, while popular, lacks the robust healing of higher-tier characters, making him less effective in extended battles. His simplicity is beginner-friendly, but his limited kit pales in comparison to others.

Loki's effectiveness hinges on player skill and strategy. He heals and summons decoys that mimic his actions, requiring precise positioning to avoid environmental obstructions. His Ultimate allows shapeshifting into any hero for 15 seconds, utilizing their abilities.

Rocket Raccoon prioritizes utility and damage over pure healing. He revives allies with his Respawn Machine and inflicts significant damage, blurring the line between support and DPS. His performance depends heavily on player skill, and his small size makes him a vulnerable target.

Ultimately, the best support character depends on personal preference and playstyle. While this tier list offers guidance, enjoyment should be the primary factor in your choice.
