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
Namor and Daredevil lead the strategist category with exceptional utility and consistent performance across all game modes. Wolverine and Hela dominate as damage dealers, offering unmatched burst potential and sustained threat presence that forces constant enemy adaptation.
Venom and Magik excel in close-range combat with superior mobility and damage output. Peni Parker provides exceptional area control while Storm delivers devastating team fight presence. Devil Dinosaur and Hulk anchor the vanguard role with superior crowd control and damage absorption capabilities that overshadow other tanks, enhanced by valuable team-up synergies that enable aggressive team compositions.
A Tier
Groot and Deadpool provide solid vanguard presence with reliable team utility. Mantis delivers consistent healing output while Moon Knight and White Fox offer versatile damage options. Thor brings powerful area control alongside Rocket Raccoon's explosive potential.
Iron Fist excels in melee combat while Jeff the Land Shark provides unique mobility advantages. Hawkeye and Squirrel Girl deliver reliable ranged damage with strong positioning tools. Ultron dominates team fights with superior crowd control, while The Punisher rounds out this tier with consistent hitscan performance and adaptable kit options.
B Tier
Gambit, Invisible Woman, and Loki provide solid utility but lack the consistent impact of higher tiers. Psylocke and Phoenix offer situational value while Star-Lord delivers moderate damage output. Captain America, Doctor Strange, and Rogue fill specific team roles effectively. Adam Warlock, Spider-Man, and Mister Fantastic provide reliable performance. Iron Man, Human Torch, and Angela complete this balanced tier with decent versatility.
C Tier
Magneto and Black Cat struggle with consistency despite having useful abilities. Black Panther and Blade offer limited impact in the current meta. Punisher and Scarlet Witch round out this tier with situational utility but lack the reliable performance needed for higher placement in competitive environments.
D Tier
Winter Soldier, Luna Snow, and Black Widow currently underperform compared to other options. These heroes require significant team coordination or specific situations to achieve meaningful impact in matches.
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.
