Best Strategist Characters in Marvel Rivals

S Tier

Mantis excels at healing and buffing allies. Her orb-based abilities offer both healing and damage boosts, regenerating automatically over time. Headshot accuracy significantly enhances her effectiveness, making her ideal for skilled players while remaining beginner-friendly. Her fragility necessitates cautious play.

Luna Snow, another top-tier support, combines healing with offensive capabilities. Her Ice Art enhances both healing and damage output, while her Ultimate, Fate of Both Worlds, provides area-of-effect healing or damage. Her ease of use and focus on positioning make her a strong choice for newcomers. However, her damage potential remains secondary to her support role.

A Tier

Adam Warlock's standout ability is his multi-teammate revive. His Ultimate, Quantum Zone, brings fallen allies back with temporary invincibility, even allowing multiple revives of the same character. He also offers healing and damage mitigation through Soul Bond.

Cloak & Dagger provides a balanced approach. Cloak's attacks offer both healing and damage, with self-sustaining healing capabilities. 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, struggling in extended battles. His simplicity is both a strength and weakness.

Loki's effectiveness hinges on player skill. His healing and decoy summoning require strategic positioning. His Ultimate allows shapeshifting into other heroes, but mastering this ability is key.

Rocket Raccoon prioritizes utility and damage over pure healing. His Respawn Machine offers revives, but his kit leans towards a damage-dealing hybrid role, requiring skillful use. His small size makes him a vulnerable target.

Ultimately, character selection should align with personal playstyle and enjoyment. While this tier list provides guidance, the most fun character is the best character.

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