Marvel Rivals Strategist Character Tier List: A Guide to Support Heroes

Marvel Rivals boasts a diverse roster of iconic characters, but while damage dealers often steal the spotlight, effective support characters are crucial for team survival. This tier list ranks the seven currently available support units in Marvel Rivals, focusing on their healing and buffing capabilities. While Jeff is popular, he's not the top contender.

S Tier

Mantis and Luna Snow in Marvel Rivals.

Mantis excels as a healer, boosting ally damage by consuming orbs (which regenerate automatically; headshots provide instant orb recovery). While her damage output is limited and she's fragile, her healing and buffing make her a top-tier choice for both experienced and novice players.

Luna Snow, another S-tier pick, offers a balanced approach. Her primary attack heals allies but can also damage enemies. Her Ice Art ability enhances healing and damage, and her Ultimate, Fate of Both Worlds, provides AoE healing or damage, making her effective and easy to use. While capable of damage, her focus remains on team support.

A Tier

Adam Warlock and Cloack & Dagger

Adam Warlock's standout ability is his multi-teammate revive via Quantum Zone, granting temporary invincibility. He also heals with Avatar Life Stream and shares damage (with a small HoT) using Soul Bond.

Cloak & Dagger provides a unique support style. Cloak's attack offers healing or damage, and she features self-healing. Dagger focuses on damage and enemy debuffs (Vulnerability), while Dark Teleportation boosts ally movement speed and provides invisibility.

B Tier

Rocket Raccoon, Jeff, and Loki in Marvel Rivals.

Jeff the Land Shark, despite popularity, falls short in sustained healing compared to higher-tier characters. His kit is simpler than Mantis or Warlock's. While a decent beginner option, his effectiveness wanes in longer battles.

Loki is a skillful support, but his effectiveness hinges heavily on player skill and strategy. He heals and summons decoys, but precise decoy placement is crucial. His Ultimate allows shapeshifting into other heroes for 15 seconds.

Rocket Raccoon offers utility and damage instead of pure healing. He can revive allies (Respawn Machine) and deal significant damage, making him more of a hybrid DPS. His performance depends heavily on player skill, and his small size makes him a vulnerable target.

This tier list serves as a guide. The best support character ultimately depends on individual playstyle and enjoyment.

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