Marvel Rivals: Hero Tier List

Marvel Rivals hero tier list for Season 8.0. Every duelist, vanguard, and strategist ranked with current meta picks, balance changes, and best team comps.

Last updated:

Marvel Rivals Season 7 brought a huge change with a global 20% Ult charge nerf that resulted in significant meta shifts for the game. With Ultimate spamming now less viable, heroes are forced to earn their value through better gunplay and ability usage. This Marvel Rivals tier list presents the new landscape of heroes in the game.

How the Best Marvel Rivals Heroes are Ranked

This comprehensive character list came about by combining win rate from the latest player data, pick rates at high rank and above, considering team comp synergy value, and team flexibility for each hero. Expect heroes who excel in a single lineup to be inferior in rank to those that slot into multiple high-functionality lineups. All roles are ranked together.

S Tier

Hela and Hawkeye dominate the damage dealer category with unmatched burst potential and consistent threat presence that forces constant enemy repositioning. Spider-Man and Magneto excel with superior mobility and game-changing ultimate abilities that can single-handedly turn team fights.

Mantis and Luna Snow lead the strategist role with exceptional healing output and utility that enables aggressive team compositions. Doctor Strange provides devastating area control while Peni Parker delivers superior defensive capabilities. These heroes offer the highest impact potential and versatility, making them essential picks for competitive play across all skill levels and game modes.

A Tier

Daredevil and Jeff the Land Shark provide excellent utility and consistent performance in the strategist role. Thor, Captain America, and Groot anchor the vanguard position with strong crowd control and damage absorption that enables team aggression.

Star-Lord, Punisher, Winter Soldier, and Iron Man excel as damage dealers with reliable output and team fight presence. Rocket Raccoon, Ultron, Loki, and Psylocke offer specialized utility that shines in specific team compositions. Devil Dinosaur rounds out this tier with exceptional tanking capabilities and valuable team-up synergies that enhance overall team performance in competitive scenarios.

B Tier

Wolverine, Venom, and Hulk provide solid close-range combat with decent mobility and damage output. Storm, Magik, and Scarlet Witch offer situational utility with moderate team fight impact. Namor, Moon Knight, Black Panther, and The Punisher deliver consistent but unremarkable performance. White Fox, Invisible Woman, and Adam Warlock provide niche utility that works well in specific team compositions but lack the versatility of higher-tier picks.

C Tier

Phoenix and Rogue struggle with consistency despite having moments of high impact potential. Mister Fantastic and Human Torch provide limited utility compared to other options in their roles. Angela and Black Widow offer specialized capabilities but lack the versatility and reliability needed for consistent competitive performance across different game modes and team compositions.

D Tier

Iron Fist currently underperforms compared to other damage dealers, lacking the burst potential, utility, or consistency needed for competitive viability. Limited mobility and team fight presence make this hero a suboptimal choice in most scenarios.

Where to Go from Here

The current game rewards effective use of abilities and gunplay, and having two strategists and a vanguard is a must for any team composition when selecting from the Marvel Rivals character list. Build your team the right way, and the game will surely reward the right effort.
