All Marvel Rivals Starlord skins: Tier list, prices and more

Star Lord in Marvel Rivals has five cosmetics in total, including the base skin which is available for all players. This Duelist hero is unlocked by default at the start of the game and can be picked in online matches without any prerequisites. All of the skins that have been released for this hero have been unique and feature a different side of the Guardian of the Galaxy. The developers have even integrated a skin inspired by the official cinematic universe.

Star Lord in Marvel Rivals is another difficult character to master as his entire kit revolves around being fast and dealing burst damage. However, his ultimate compensates for a lot of the character's difficulty by enabling auto aim for a brief moment where you can simply shoot down your enemies.

This article will highlight every skin available for Star Lord in Marvel Rivals in a tier list.

Ranking all Marvel Rivals Star Lord skins from least impressive to best

5) Star- Lord Base skin (B-tier)

Star-Lord base skin looks quite similar to Jovial Star, thus landing it into the B-tier for Marvel Rivals Star Lord skins. It features a slightly different color palette and design with blue and yellow tones but lacks the extra flair and excitement. While it still captures Star-Lord’s essence, it doesn’t have the same standout qualities or special effects that make the higher-tier skins more exciting.

However, it's still pretty popular among fans who like the core design and want to experience the "half human, half alien, all awesome" vibe that Star-Lord embodies without any of the added frills.

4) Jovial Star (A-tier)

The Jovial Star costume from Marvel Rivals Star Lord skins earns its place in the A-Tier due to its impressive design and the fact that it’s entirely free to unlock through gameplay. Inspired by Legendary Star-Lord (2014), this skin gives Star-Lord a confident and stylish look that resonates with his comic origins.

Players will be able to obtain this skin by completing "Vengeance for the Milano!" found in the Heroic Journey tab. This requires securing 10 KOs as Star-Lord with assist contributions from Guardians teammates, including Rocket Raccoon, Groot, Adam Warlock, or Mantis.

Description as follows:

"Face it. I rule. I love space. Down on Earth, my life was a nightmare. Down there, you wouldn't look at me twice. Up here, I'm living the drea..."

While it lacks the cinematic polish that GOTG Vol. 3 offers, the free unlock method and strong comic ties for the Jovial Star skin make this a top A-Tier pick.

3) Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 (A-tier)

This skin lands in the S-Tier for its cinematic inspiration and overall aesthetic value. Based on the blue-and-red leather suit from Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 (2023), this costume is comic-accurate. While it omits his iconic mask, the detailed craftsmanship, resemblance from the movie, and vibrant color palette make it a standout and the best costume in Marvel Rivals Star Lord skins as of December 2024.

The skin can be bought alone for 1600 Units or in a bundle for 1800 Units that includes the MVP animation, the "Dance Like Always" emote, a nameplate, and a spray. Players can also buy the 4500 Units bundle with extra skins for Rocket Raccoon, Groot, and Mantis.

Description as follows:

"The trap isn't a trap if you know the trap is trying to trap you. It's a face-off."

Comic book fans will appreciate the nod to the 2008 run by Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning, which inspired this skin’s design. The bundle option adds excellent value for those who want to upgrade their entire Guardian team.

The Lion's Mane skin in Marvel Rivals for Star Lord arrived as a part of the Clashing Lions event in Season 1. The skin is currently not available on the in-game store and so cannot be purchased at the time of writing this article. However, there is a small chance that it may become available to the store at a later date.

The in-game description of the skin read:

"The majestic Lion soars with auspicious energy, reigning over the mountains, as a thousand stars illuminate the universe, casting a celestial glow upon the land, heralding the arrival of spring."

Star Lord in Marvel Rivals plays the role of a Duelist while poking and kiting enemies. His mobility makes it incredibly difficult to target or corner him. You can take advantage of this and fly up on the map to deal damage from a safe distance while staying by the Vangaurd's side. However, his flight speed is not very fast and experienced players can shoot you down.

Star Lord has the most impact when attacking during team fights. This is because players can take this opportunity to attack confused or unsuspecting enemies. You can choose to purchase skins for this hero from the in-game store to showcase your mastery over Star Lord.
