Mastering Support in Marvel Rivals: A Tier List of Strategist Characters

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

S Tier

Mantis excels as a healer, boosting ally damage by consuming orbs (which regenerate automatically; headshots provide instant orb recovery). While fragile, her healing and ease of use make her a top choice for both beginners and experienced players. Her offensive capabilities are limited.

Luna Snow, another S-tier support, offers both healing and offensive capabilities. Her Ice Art enhances healing and damage, while her Ultimate, Fate of Both Worlds, provides AoE healing or damage. Her effectiveness hinges on strategic positioning and timing, making her accessible to players of all skill levels. However, her primary focus remains support.

A Tier

Adam Warlock and Cloack & Dagger

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

Cloak & Dagger offers a unique blend of support and offense. Cloak's attacks can heal or damage, and she possesses self-healing. Dagger focuses on damage and applying the Vulnerability debuff. Dark Teleportation boosts ally movement speed and provides invisibility.

B Tier

Rocket Raccoon, Jeff, and Loki in Marvel Rivals.

Jeff the Land Shark, while popular, lacks the robust healing of higher-tier characters. His simplicity makes him beginner-friendly, but he struggles in extended battles.

Loki's effectiveness depends heavily on player skill. He heals and summons decoys that mimic his actions, requiring precise positioning. His Ultimate allows him to shapeshift into any hero for 15 seconds, utilizing their abilities.

Rocket Raccoon prioritizes utility and damage over pure healing. He can revive allies with his Respawn Machine and deals significant damage, blurring the line between support and DPS. His performance relies heavily on player skill, and his small size makes him a vulnerable target.

Ultimately, the best support character depends on individual playstyle and enjoyment. This tier list serves as a guide, but personal preference should be the deciding factor.

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