Marvel Rivals: Vanguard Heroes Tier List

Hulk has been buffed since the beta version of Marvel Rivals, and he currently has one of the best shields in the entire game. Unfortunately, he has a lot of weaknesses, including often reverting to Bruce and losing matches immediately. His Ultimate can also leave him vulnerable after use.

PROS:

• High mobility

CONS:

• Ultimate leaves him vulnerable to enemy attacks

Peni Parker isn't a bad choice, but she is often considered a very situational Hero in Marvel Rivals. This is due to her abilities being mostly useful when she can wrap her net around a wall, for example, and she usually needs the perfect circumstances to be useful. In other words, she can be excellent, as long as the stars have aligned.

PROS:

• Solid DPS

CONS:

• Limited mobility

Thor isn't a weak character, but he's so difficult to master that most players either give up on trying or simply say that his abilities are useless. If you know how to use this Hero, you'll have the potential to win every fight, but at this point, it just takes too long, and it's often not worth the effort. Overall, he's mobile, flexible, and has a strong burst. If you like challenges, give him a try.

PROS:

• Awakening Rune grants a good power boost

CONS:

• Difficult to use

Magneto is extremely difficult to kill, and he is one of the best in terms of protecting his teammates. Yes, he has a low base HP, but considering the amount of tools he has, this shouldn't be a problem. Additionally, even if he's the only tank on the team, you'll be fine because he has a shield that can block any attack.

PROS:

• Amazing ranged damage

CONS:

• Very slow

Captain America has a ranged shield, and he's one of the best tanks in Marvel Rivals. His disadvantage lies in his inability to support his team and his inconsistent shield bounce. Generally, the only way to make this character more effective is by pairing him with Thor or someone who has higher utility for the team.

PROS:

• Good mobility

CONS:

• Not a good team player

Groot isn't flexible or strong when you compare him to other tanks, but even with the delay on his primary fire, he has a lot of potential when he's playing with the right team. However, be aware that he's useful only in specific circumstances, and you need a lot of skill to control him.

PROS:

• Strong Ultimate

CONS:

• Low damage output

Doctor Strange is great for solo players, as he has a huge health bar and a solid shield that can protect him even more against enemy attacks. However, keep in mind that he requires you to manage resources well. If you don't place his portal at the perfect time, you'll risk losing the entire game for your team. In any case, he can be a major problem for all opponents.

PROS:

• High survivability

CONS:

• Can accidentally debuff himself

Venom is hands down the best Hero in Marvel Rivals, and he is the most powerful character in the Vanguard class. He has 800 base health, and his mobility is more than impressive. Additionally, his shield grants up to 900 temporary HP, and his Ultimate has no equal when it comes to enhancing his protection. However, be aware that he doesn't have a good range.

PROS:

• Mobility
• Huge damage output

CONS:

• Lacks range
• Easily stunned
