What are the best characters in Marvel Rivals right now? It’s always a tough question with games like Marvel Rivals, not only because the roster and hero abilities are ever-changing, but because a tier list of heroes naturally changes over time as you climb higher up the player skill ladder. But will that stop us? Clearly not!
Free-to-play team-based hero shooter Marvel Rivals has launched with a grand total of 33 iconic Marvel heroes to choose between, and while the balance on the whole has been fairly decent so far, a meta is still starting to emerge. Fans of Iron Man, Thor, and Hulk may be a little disappointed, but they’re not quite the powerhouses they are in the MCU. And meanwhile, unexpected entrances like Jeff The Land Shark and Squirrel Girl are getting all manner of attention right now. And not just because Marvel fans be thirsty.
In the guide below, you can read through our full Marvel Rivals tier list, ranking all 33 characters from best to worst. Further down, we’ve also included a write-up on each hero, their strengths and weaknesses, and why they are ranked as they are in the current meta.
