These are the best Marvel Rivals heroes to play
Here is why some Marvel Rivals characters are ranked higher than others.
Black Panther will bring speed and strength to your lineup. From punches to claw strikes to summoning a literal deity (in the form of the god Bast), he can deliver serious damage to opponents.
On the other hand,
Dr Strange provides S-Tier protection and support for teammates. His cloak of levitation means that he can stay suspended for periods and his shielding abilities mean that the rest of the team is protected from harm. He might not be the most brute-force character, but he is certainly one to have around.
A Tier of our Marvel Rivals tier list is spearheaded by Groot, who can protect other players by growing walls that block opponents and also harm them. He can also attack opponents at far range using his vine strike.
Adam Warlock may not be the strongest character with his staff delivering only moderate damage despite releasing quantum bolts. His real strength, however, lies in his abilities as a healer and a strategist, which every player needs.
The god of Mischief, Loki, has several tricks up his sleeve, including the ability to project himself to different places, mimic the abilities of his enemies, and heal teammates.
Players who are looking to do it may pick Bruce Banner, who is a very versatile character within Marvel Rivals, as you can play as both the Hulk and the scientist. The Hulk is bunky and strong and if you die as him, you are resurrected as a gun-wielding Bruce Banner. The doctor is nowhere as strong as his green alter ego, so keep this in mind.
C-Tier characters aren’t bad by any stretch and may be quite viable in the right hands. For example, Namor can summon a water-based force field that protects him from harm, launch his trident at opponents, and even summon a water creature to disarm enemies. Whether your team plans to be offensive or defensive, he has something to offer.
Armed with her trusty suit, Peni Parker can stun opponents and keep them in place, heal her teammates, and go after enemies with her cyber-webs.
