Bringing together the MCU’s best and drawing even more from the depths of Marvel's rich comic history, Marvel Rivals already has a stacked roster of 37 characters—a feat Overwatch only achieved with its sequel over two years later. Naturally, this makes putting together a Marvel Rivals tier list highlighting the best characters in the meta more challenging than most other hero-shooters.
The good news is that almost all of the Marvel Rivals characters are well-balanced and fun to play. The best place to start is figuring out which of the three roles you enjoy the most. Duelists (Duel) are primarily damage dealers, Vanguards (Van) are play-making tanks, and Strategists (Str) are healers, buffers, and all-around support heroes. While the roster is undeniably Duelist-heavy, you’ll need a healthy mix of classes to win—especially in competitive play.
