How To Get Assists in Marvel Rivals & Best Characters To Use

Mastering Assists in Marvel Rivals: A Guide to Support and Challenge Completion

Many Marvel Rivals players focus on securing kills, but some challenges require racking up assists. This guide explains how to earn assists and highlights the best characters for the task.

Understanding Assists in Marvel Rivals

The in-game stats screen displays kills, deaths, and assists. Unlike many games, dealing damage in Marvel Rivals doesn't count as an assist. Assists are earned solely through supporting teammates: healing, shielding, or incapacitating enemies to allow allies to finish them off.

Optimal Characters for Assists

This unique assist system favors support and tank characters. If you're a damage-focused player, consider these characters to complete assist-based challenges:

• Jeff the Land Shark: His healing abilities provide ample opportunities for teammate assists.

• Mantis: The premier support character. Her healing and incapacitating abilities (Spore Slumber) create perfect assist setups.

• Peni Parker: A strong tank option. Her Cyber-Web Snare immobilizes enemies, making them easy targets for allies.

• Doctor Strange: His potent shield keeps allies alive, contributing significantly to assist accumulation.

• Storm: As a Duelist, Storm's Weather Control enhances teammate damage and speed, leading to more kills and assists.

By utilizing these characters and focusing on support actions, you can effectively accumulate assists and conquer those challenging objectives in Marvel Rivals. For more Marvel Rivals guides, check out our coverage on Chronoverse Saga Achievements.
