Best Strategist in Marvel Rivals

S Tier

Mantis excels as a healer, boosting ally damage by consuming orbs (which regenerate automatically; headshots grant instant recovery). While fragile, her effectiveness is amplified by consistent headshots, making her accessible to both beginners and skilled players. Her damage output is limited, focusing primarily on support.

Luna Snow, another top-tier strategist, offers a balanced approach. Her primary attack heals allies but also damages foes. Her Ice Art ability enhances healing and damage, while her Ultimate, Fate of Both Worlds, provides AoE healing or damage, depending on positioning. Her ease of use and focus on strategic positioning make her ideal for new players, though her damage potential remains secondary to her support role.

A Tier

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

Cloak & Dagger offers a unique blend of support and damage. Cloak's attack heals allies or damages enemies, with self-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, despite popularity, lacks the robust healing of higher-tier characters, struggling in extended battles. His simplicity, while beginner-friendly, pales compared to the more nuanced kits of Mantis and Warlock. His cliff-throwing Ultimate is undeniably entertaining.

Loki's effectiveness hinges on player skill and strategy. He heals allies and summons decoys, but precise decoy placement is crucial 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. His Respawn Machine revives allies, but his kit leans more towards hybrid DPS than dedicated support. His performance depends heavily on player skill, and his small size makes him a vulnerable target.

Ultimately, while this tier list provides guidance, the best support character depends on individual playstyle and enjoyment.

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