Best Strategist in Marvel Rivals

S Tier

Mantis excels at healing and buffing allies. She consumes orbs to apply damage buffs, self-heals with orbs (which regenerate automatically, or instantly via headshots), making her potent for headshot-focused players, yet accessible to beginners. Her fragility requires careful positioning.

Luna Snow, another top-tier strategist, offers a blend of healing and offensive capabilities. Her Ice Art enhances both, and her Ultimate, Fate of Both Worlds, provides AoE healing or damage. Her ease of use and focus on positioning make her ideal for newcomers, though her damage output remains secondary to her support role.

A Tier

Adam Warlock shines with his multi-teammate revive Ultimate (Quantum Zone), granting temporary invincibility. His Avatar Life Stream heals, and Soul Bond shares damage and provides a heal-over-time effect across multiple allies.

Cloak & Dagger offers a similar healing/damage duality to Luna Snow, with Cloak's self-sustaining healing and Dagger's damage and Vulnerability debuffs. Dark Teleportation boosts ally movement speed and provides invisibility.

B Tier

Jeff the Land Shark, while popular, lacks the potent healing of higher-tier characters, particularly in extended battles. His simplicity makes him beginner-friendly, but his kit lacks the depth of Mantis or Warlock.

Loki's effectiveness hinges on player skill and strategy. He heals and summons decoys, but precise illusion placement is vital. His Ultimate allows him to shapeshift into any hero for 15 seconds.

Rocket Raccoon prioritizes utility and damage over pure healing, offering revives (Respawn Machine) and significant damage output, leaning more towards a DPS/support hybrid. His small size makes him a vulnerable target, demanding constant movement.

Ultimately, the best support character depends on personal preference and playstyle. This tier list serves as a guide, but enjoyment should be the primary factor in your hero selection.

Marvel Rivals is available on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.
