Marvel Rivals ranks explained

There are a total of eight ranks in Marvel Rivals. Most of these ranks have three different tiers much like Riot Games’ title, Valorant. Here is a full breakdown of all the Marvel Rivals ranked system:

• Bronze III-I
• Silver III-I
• Gold III-I
• Platinum III-I
• Diamond III-I
• Grandmaster III-I
• Eternity
• One Above All

As you win matches, you’ll climb through the tiers of the Marvel Rivals competitive system until you reach the Eternity rank. From here onwards, points determine your position on the regional and global leaderboards. The highest rank in the game is One Above All, based on the all-powerful Marvel character, The One Above All, or TOAA.

The One Above All rank in Marvel Rivals is meant for the top 500 players in the game. This means only the best of the best can reach this level through sheer skill and gameplay experience.

To move from one tier to another, you must accumulate 100 points by winning matches and performing well in your competitive matches. For example, collecting 100 points in the Bronze III tier will help you move to Bronze II, and so on. The game will also reward you with Chrono Shields at certain ranks which can be used to stop oneself from getting deranked.

Marvel Rivals is also offering a Golden Moonlight costume for Moon Knight to players who reach Gold rank or higher. Players who reach Grandmaster will also gain Silver Crest of Honor (S0) and players in One Above All will gain Golden Crest of Honor (S0).
