Marvel Rivals hero tier list: All heroes ranked from best to worst
For the tier list, we have categorized the heroes into 4 tiers:
Trending
- S-tier
- A-tier
- B-tier
- C-tier
Here, the highest tier is S, while the lowest is C. Here is the tier list for the Marvel Rivals heroes.
S-tier
This tier contains all the cream-of-the-crop heroes with the best stats and attributes.
1) Doctor Strange
Doctor Strange, in our opinion, is currently the meta-tier Vanguard in the game. His abilities provide players with incredible versatility. The character's kit is suited to a more brawl-like playstyle, unlike other Vanguards, such as Venom and Captain America, who benefit from diving headfirst into the enemy team.
Playing as Doctor Strange requires patience and keen observation. You will have to find holes in the enemy's defenses and use your cooldowns effectively to eliminate squishy heroes, such as the Strategists and Duelists.
With adept coordination with your team, you can use his Ultimate ability, Eye of Agamotto, to deal AoE damage and stun enemies for 4 seconds. Use this brief period to destabilize the enemy team and get rid of high-priority targets.
2) Luna Snow
Luna Snow is the ultimate hybrid support hero, offering a mix of healing, damage, and crowd control that makes her a valuable asset to any team. She excels at keeping her teammates alive while dealing consistent damage to enemies. However, she struggles against aerial threats due to her lack of vertical movement. Additionally, she requires precision to maximize her impact, as both her healing and damage rely on accurate targeting.
3) Moon Knight
Moon Knight shines as a burst damage specialist with the ability to dominate 1v1 duels and control objectives. His traps, set using Ankhs, allow him to create deadly zones, while his high mobility makes it easy to engage or retreat. His grappling hook and cape glide provide excellent maneuverability, letting him navigate the map efficiently. However, Moon Knight’s effectiveness hinges on proper setup; poorly placed Ankhs or mistimed abilities can leave him vulnerable.

4) Hawkeye
Hawkeye is the quintessential sniper, delivering precise, high-damage attacks from a distance. His ability to take out enemy backlines or control key areas of the map makes him invaluable for teams needing consistent ranged damage. His knockback and double jump give him some ability to fend off attackers, but his mobility is otherwise limited, making him a prime target for divers.
5) Loki
Loki, like his movie counterpart, is a high-skill hero who combines healing, damage, and utility into a single package. His ability to create clones, teleport, and even steal enemy abilities gives him unmatched versatility in the right hands. Loki excels at outplaying opponents, turning their strengths against them, and creating chaos in team fights. However, his complexity makes him challenging to master; you need to carefully manage his clones and time his abilities to maximize his impact.
6) Iron Fist
Iron Fist is a close-quarter Duelist in Marvel Rivals. His abilities involve initiating melee attack combos, all of which require him to be up close and personal with his targets.
Iron Fist undoubtedly has some of the highest damage-dealing potential in the game. His DPS (damage per second) output is extremely high, and naturally, he is a massive threat to squishy Duelist and Strategist heroes.
Furthermore, the character has a ton of mobility that allows him to traverse through the entire map without any hindrance. Finding the right mobility and attack combos will allow you absolutely wreak havoc on the enemy team's backline and disrupt their gameplay. As of now, we believe he is an S-tier Duelist in the game.

7) Psylocke
Psylocke has one of the highest skill ceilings in the game. She is marked as a five-star difficulty character, and rightfully so. Her abilities allow her to execute squishy targets in quick succession. While she might not have the ability to climb and mantle over objects, she does possess two charges of Psi-blade dash, which allow her to scale heights with ease.
Furthermore, Dance of the Butterfly, her ultimate ability, is one of the strongest in the game. You should prioritize using it to get at least 2-3 eliminations against squishy heroes.

8) Hela
Hela is arguably one of the strongest Duelists in the game. Her primary attack, Nightsword Thorns, by itself has been quite meta-defining. Hela is a sharpshooter, and her attack projectiles are almost hit-scan. This makes her fantastic at poking from long ranges using her primary fire.
She can easily target aerial heroes, and even knock down tanks due to her impressive damage stats. She also has access to an ability, Astral Flock, which allows her to reposition in a short distance.
Last but not least, her ultimate ability, Goddess of Death, can deal a ton of damage, and can easily swing the tides of a losing match in one's favor. We believe she has rightfully earned her spot in the S-tier in the title's ongoing season.
9) Mantis
Mantis is an S-tier Hero, solely because of how versatile she is in-game. Her abilities are not centered towards healing, but rather towards supporting her teammates by providing them with damage boost.
Furthermore, when in a pickle, she can also damage boost her own attack to quickly deal with pesky flankers in the game. Lastly, she posseses a stun ability that's best used to knock out players when they either flank, or are about to use their ultimate ability.
A-tier
- Star-Lord
- Adam Warlock
- Hulk
- Spider-Man
- Cloak and Dagger
- The Punisher
- Winter Soldier
The A-tier features some of the most reliable characters in the game. Though they are not perfect, they are the best alternative to the S-tier ones. Heroes like Jeff The Land Shark, The Punisher, and Psylocke are not only highly damaging but also easy to learn.
On the other hand, characters like Spider-Man, Black Widow, and The Punisher require a good knowledge of the game, but once you master them, you can stand against some S-tier heroes too.
B-tier
- Groot
- Captain America
- Namor
- Rocket Raccoon
- Squirrel Girl
- Black Widow
- Magik
- Jeff the Land Shark
- Peni Parker
The B-tier consists of characters that require time to master and utilize their full potential. If you have noticed, a lot of Strategist class heroes are mentioned here because most of them have good support abilities but are not as effective as primary weapons.
Characters like Squirrel Girl, and Captain America are quite strong, but they are situational, and hence they've fallen down a few notches in this tier list.
Groot could be a hot take and many players might have expected him to be featured in at least A-tier. However, his damage is average and the wall abilities block passage for the allies too, creating unnecessary chaos, especially during close combats.
C-tier
- Storm
- Black Panther
- Thor
- Iron Man
The C-tier characters are not useless, but picking them over the abovementioned heroes is questionable. These heroes don’t have the best damage or abilities, but in the right hands, they can also be reliable. Thor, for example, has good mobility and high damage, but using any of the abilities gives you a global cooldown, limiting the potential significantly. Moreover, mastering him requires time and good decision-making skills.
Duelists like Storm and Black Panther neither have exceptionally high-damage abilities, nor they can survive on their own, making them two of the least reliable Duelists in Marvel Rivals.
