"Master Assists in Marvel Rivals: Top Characters Revealed"

In the world of hero shooters, players often chase glory through individual achievements. However, *Marvel Rivals* introduces a unique twist by emphasizing the importance of teamwork through assist challenges. If you're struggling to secure assists in this game, here’s a comprehensive guide on how to do it effectively, along with the best characters to use.

How To Get Assists in Marvel Rivals

During a match of *Marvel Rivals*, the stats screen displays three key sections: kills, deaths, and assists. While kills are more common, assists are tracked differently and can be trickier to accumulate.

In *Marvel Rivals*, simply damaging an enemy won’t count toward an assist; only the final blow results in a kill. To secure assists, you must support your teammates through actions like healing, using shields, or capturing enemies to set them up for your allies to finish off.

This mechanic makes healers and tanks particularly adept at racking up assists. If you’re typically focused on dealing damage, you might need to switch your strategy temporarily to meet these challenges. Here are the top characters for accumulating assists:

Best Characters To Use To Get Assists in Marvel Rivals

Jeff the Land Shark

Although not the most strategic, Jeff the Land Shark’s bubbles and streams offer versatile healing, increasing the chances for your teammates to secure kills and, consequently, your assists.

Mantis

Mantis stands out as the prime support character for assists. Her ability to heal allies and use Spore Slumber to incapacitate enemies creates perfect opportunities for assists. The challenge is selecting her quickly at the start of the match.

Peni Parker

For those who prefer tanks over healers, Peni Parker’s Cyber-Web Snare can immobilize enemies, making them easy targets for your damage-focused teammates and boosting your assist count.

Doctor Strange

Another excellent tank choice is Doctor Strange. His shield, which you’ve likely encountered in gameplay, can protect your allies, enabling them to deal the finishing blows while you rack up assists.

Storm

If you’re a Duelist aiming to increase your assist count, Storm’s Weather Control ability enhances your teammates' damage and speed, allowing them to take down enemies efficiently while you accumulate assists.
