Marvel Rivals: Duelist Tier List

Psylocke has high mobility, and her stealth, DPS, and Ultimate can easily turn her into a killing machine. She's especially useful for 1v1 fights. If her range weren't so short and she could work a little bit better without relying so much on her teammates, she would have easily made it to the S-tier category.

Namor works similarly to Loki, but he has no healing abilities and a lower damage output. His wall of turrets can be useful, but apart from that, he isn't that effective. However, if you insist on using him, you can pair him with Luna Snow, who buffs his abilities and makes him way more helpful.

The developers had some great ideas about Storm, but what's on paper is very different than what we see in reality. She can buff herself and her teammates, but this is useless when she can't stay alive for more than 30 seconds in a fight. Moreover, she's very slow and doesn't deal a lot of damage.

Although Hela was one of the strongest DPS characters in the beta, she was significantly nerfed, so she's now fighting to keep her spot in the B-tier category. If you want to deal damage at range and escape fights quickly, you can use Hela, despite Heroes such as Scarlet Witch and Hawkeye being generally better options.

Cloak and Dagger are very similar to Squirrel Girl, and that's why they are so close in terms of ranks. However, they have a vision obstruction wall that can be useful against enemies like Hawkeye, and their healing abilities are okay. The problem is that they're weak compared to other characters.

Wolverine attacks quickly, and he's hard to kill. Although he can be annoying to the opposite team, if they learn his all-or-nothing approach, they will easily take him down. Thankfully, he's very effective in 1v1 fights, especially against characters who cannot zone him out. If we want to focus on his raw damage output, he's amazing.

PROS:

• High damage output

CONS:

• Lacks range

Winter Soldier has low ammo capacity, and his damage output isn't particularly impressive, but he earns his spot in the A-tier category through his abilities for aggressive attacks and single-target lockdown. He is useful against Heroes like Spider-Man, who aim to kill the support characters, because Winter Soldier can protect them.

PROS:

• Strong single-target lockdown

CONS:

• Relies too much on his hooks

If you like dealing damage to your enemies, Star-Lord would be perfect for you. He's one of the most suitable Heroes for beginners, as he's easy to get used to. He can fly around the battlefield and shoot in every direction. Unfortunately, he's not very good at killing long-range damage dealers because they can slam him down on the ground while he's in mid-air.

PROS:

• Keeps melee heroes out of range

CONS:

• Weak ultimate

Magik is a very fun character, as she can move through different dimensions and summon demons to help her wipe out her opponents. She relies a bit too much on melee attacks, and she's slow, but her damage output is relatively good, which can save you in some situations. The bad news is that we can't rely only on pure strength.

PROS:

• Can hit multiple enemies at once

CONS:

• Weak Ultimate

Black Widow knows how to get rid of close-range enemies, and she deals a good amount of damage. Moreover, she can kill her opponents fast if you learn how to control her rifle. She might not be as good as other characters of the same category, but she's definitely not a bad choice.

PROS:

• Powerful Ultimate

CONS:

• Can't do one-shot headshots

Black Panther is one of the most extreme characters in Marvel Rivals - you either use your full ability rotation to the maximum or you die. Simple. However, unless you're a master of the game, we recommend shifting your focus to other Heroes.

PROS:

• Gets bonus health from using a full combo

CONS:

• High-risk, high-reward

It's no surprise that Spider-Man has insane mobility, and he's very difficult to get rid of. He can't deal any significant damage to most DPS Heroes, but he can easily take down support characters, which makes him a valuable member of any team. Moreover, his Ultimate can neutralize enemy Ultimates without any problems.

PROS:

• Very hard to hit

CONS:

• Difficult to get used to

Scarlet Witch has the highest utility of all DPS Heroes because she gets temporary immunity that helps her escape dangerous situations, and she doesn't have to aim to deal damage. Even though her burst is quite low, she's a solid choice as long as you learn how to properly use her abilities to your advantage.

PROS:

• Consistent damage

CONS:

• Her Ultimate often leaves her vulnerable

Iron Man is effective against melee teams, and he can shoot even the strongest enemies from above. However, even though he can fly, he doesn't shine with his speed, and his Ultimate has been nerfed a lot since the beta version of the game. He is easy to take down, but if you take advantage of tall buildings, you'll be able to survive for a long time.

PROS:

• Easy to master

CONS:

• Slow

Iron Fist is a new character in the roster of Marvel Rivals, and he might not excel at any range, but he's the only Hero with such incredible self-healing abilities. Moreover, he can parry attacks and throw his fists extremely fast. If you like playing solo, Iron Fist is your guy.

PROS:

• Self-healing skills
• High burst damage

CONS:

• No range

The Punisher is very similar to the characters in Call of Duty, and he has a nice rifle, a shotgun, and a powerful turret that can help you kill almost everyone who dares to stand in your way. Most targets in Marvel Rivals are very difficult to hit, but with his weapons, escaping isn't that easy.

PROS:

• Consistent DPS

CONS:

• Low mobility

Moon Knight excels in throwing Ankhs and bouncing projectiles off of them, which gives him a very consistent burst that lands on almost every occasion. He also has a grappling hook and a glide. When he wants to, he can use his Ankhs to pull enemies into the center, which works very well with his huge AoE ultimate.

PROS:

• High burst

CONS:

• Enemies can easily learn his pattern of attack

Hawkeye can dismantle an entire backline from a huge distance, and even though he doesn't have a lot of mobility, he can deal huge damage. Keep in mind that if you manage to land a headshot with Hawkeye, it'll lead to immediate death every time. However, you need to have a very good aim if you're planning on choosing him.

PROS:

• High damage output at all ranges

CONS:

• Limited mobility
