5 best Duelists heroes in Marvel Rivals
1) Black Widow
The famous Black Widow is one of the strongest Duelists in the game. Her abilities focus on her rifle called Red Room, which has multiple modes. She can change her rifle into Sniper mode to execute the Straight Shooter ability, which can take down enemies with ease.
The Ultimate, Electro Plasma Explosion, activates Destruction mode and unleashes an electro-plasma blast that deals lethal damage to enemies and slows them down. Her Team-Up ability, Supersensory Hunt, catches sight of enemies and deals massive damage.
2) The Punisher
The Punisher is arguably one of the best Duelists in Marvel Rivals. Similar to Black Widow, he has two weapons: an automatic rifle and a Shotgun for close-range fights. This hero's Culling Turret can be useful for blocking enemies' abilities while giving massive damage to them.
The Punisher's Ultimate, Final Judgment, allows him to use two portable guns that unleash fire and continuously decrease enemy health. His team-up ability, Infinite Punishment, grants him a buff of infinite ammo and faster firing with Rocket Raccoon and Winter Soldier.

In his Ultimate, Kraken Impact, Bucky uses his bionic arm to slam down opponents and deal heavy damage to them in that range. His Team-Up ability, Infinite Grit, grants him infinite ammo and faster firing.
4) Scarlet Witch
Scarlet Witch is one of the strongest characters in the Marvel Universe. That seems to be true in Marvel Rivals as well, where her magical powers easily take down enemies if used properly. Her Dark Seal ability generates a force field that stunts enemies within range.
Scarlet Witch's Ultimate, Reality Erasure, charges energy and explodes to deal massive damage to opponents within line of sight, similar to D.Va's ultimate in Overwatch. She pairs excellently with Magneto and executes deadly combos in the game.
5) Star-Lord
If you are a fan of Guardians of the Galaxy, you will likely find Star-Lord impressive in the game. With his Rocket Propulsion ability, you can easily gain a height advantage amid a fight. The Stellar Shift ability is perfect for dodging enemies' attacks and using swift counterattacks.
Star-Lord's Ultimate, Galactic Legend, locks onto enemies in sight and gives massive damage with his element guns from mid-air. He can be paired with Adam Warlock and Mantis through his Team-Up ability, granting him the power of cocooned revival.
