Best Strategist in Marvel Rivals

This tier list assesses support units based on their overall effectiveness in healing and assisting teammates.

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 increases her effectiveness, but she's also beginner-friendly. Her fragility necessitates careful positioning.

Luna Snow, another top-tier support, offers both healing and offensive capabilities. Her Ice Art ability enhances both healing and damage output, while her Ultimate, Fate of Both Worlds, provides area-of-effect healing or damage. Her straightforward gameplay makes her ideal for new players, though her damage potential remains secondary to her support role.

A Tier

Adam Warlock's standout ability is his multi-teammate revive. His Ultimate, the Quantum Zone, brings back fallen allies with temporary invincibility, capable of reviving the same character repeatedly. He also provides healing and damage mitigation through his Avatar Life Stream and Soul Bond abilities.

Cloak & Dagger offers a balanced approach. Cloak's attacks can heal or damage, providing self-sustainability. 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, suffers from weaker healing compared to higher-tier supports, making him less effective in extended battles. His simpler kit pales in comparison to Mantis and Warlock. However, he remains a viable option for beginners.

Loki's effectiveness depends heavily on player skill. He heals allies and summons decoys, but precise decoy placement is crucial. His unique Ultimate allows him to shapeshift into other heroes for a short time.

Rocket Raccoon is a unique support, prioritizing utility and damage over pure healing. He can revive allies with his Respawn Machine and deal significant damage, blurring the line between support and DPS. His small size and reliance on skillful play make him a risky but potentially rewarding choice.

Ultimately, the best support character depends on individual playstyle and enjoyment. This guide provides a framework for choosing, but personal preference should always play a role.

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