Mastering Support Characters in Marvel Rivals: A Tier List Guide

Marvel Rivals boasts a diverse roster of iconic characters, but while damage dealers often steal the spotlight, strategic support units are crucial for team survival. This guide ranks the seven currently available support characters, focusing on their healing and buffing capabilities. While Jeff is a popular choice, he's not the only game-changer.

Mantis excels as a support unit, healing allies and applying damage buffs by consuming orbs (which regenerate automatically; headshots provide instant orb recovery). While effective for both beginners and experienced players, her fragility requires careful positioning.

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

A Tier

Adam Warlock and Cloack & Dagger

Adam Warlock shines with his multi-teammate revive Ultimate, 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 provides versatile support. Cloak's attacks can heal or damage, featuring self-healing capabilities. Dagger focuses on damage and applying Vulnerability debuffs. Dark Teleportation boosts ally movement speed and provides invisibility.

B Tier

Rocket Raccoon, Jeff, and Loki in Marvel Rivals.

Jeff the Land Shark, despite popularity, lacks the robust healing of higher-tier supports. His simplicity makes him beginner-friendly, but he struggles in extended battles.

Loki's effectiveness hinges on player skill. He heals and summons decoys, requiring precise positioning. His Ultimate allows shapeshifting into any hero for 15 seconds.

Rocket Raccoon offers utility and damage rather than pure healing. His Respawn Machine revives allies, but his focus leans towards damage dealing, making him a hybrid DPS/support. His small size makes him a vulnerable target.

Ultimately, the best support character depends on individual playstyle and enjoyment. This tier list serves as a helpful guide, but personal preference should be the deciding factor.

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