7 Best Marvel Rivals Strategists, Ranked

Strategists are the backbone of any team composition of Marvel Rivals. Whether you have a solid damage dealer or tanks, if they are not supported from the back, things can go haywire pretty fast. Unlike any other hero shooter, the supports are more than just healing in Marvel Rivals. So, if you want to master the Strategists, you must know which ones are the best. In this guide, we have ranked down the best Marvel Rivals Strategists according to their usefulness in the game.

7. Loki

• Pros: Decieves enemies during fights, Good damage
• Cons: Low healing, Lack of crowd control

Well, you might be wondering why Loki, despite being one of the strongest in the game, is the last on our list. To answer that you will have to consider that Loki is not the greatest support role in Marvel Rivals at all. His abilities suit him well individually and help more in shutting down zones and killing enemies from behind.

Although he has some healing potential, they are not as great as the other strategists on our list. Overall, If you want to play Loki as a secondary strategist, you can go for it. Make sure you are not focusing on healing that much, and let the primary support do that.

6. Cloak and Dagger

• Pros: Good movement and guile, Crowd control, Heavy damage
• Cons: Average healing potential

Just like the God of Mischief, Cloak, and Dagger fall short of supporting the team as strategists. When you use them, you have to pick between being a damage dealer and crowd controller or a simple healer. Although you can choose both, being a sole healer can get hard as well.

On top of it, Cloak and Dagger are more self-sustained strategists who can survive without the team but fall short of quickly protecting teammates. That is why, despite being a top-tier character in our tier list, they are not the best in the strategists’ role in Marvel Rivals.

5. Rocket Raccoon

• Pros: Boost supply, Great ultimate, Respawn ability
• Cons: Low healing, Terrible crowd control

Rocket Raccoon is ideal if you want to be more of an armory support for your team than a crowd control or healer. Although he lacks in the healing department with minimal potential, he can summon boosters for allies to grab. His ultimate provides a massive fire rate buff for all teammates in an area, making it hard for the enemy to fight back.

You can also respawn one ally with the same boost ability, which can feel very situational. However, his potential comes out when you pick Rocket with team-ups like The Punisher or Winter Soldier. Rocket can provide these allies infinite ammo boost, making the duelists more effective in the game.

4. Luna Snow

• Pros: Good heal, Average crowd control, Good movement
• Cons: Low health, Weak as a team healer

Luna Snow is a versatile hero who excels both as a healer and a damage dealer. Her Share the Stage ability focuses healing on a specific target, making her indispensable for protecting key team members. While she constantly heals and deals damage, sometimes it can feel confusing if you are your team’s sole support.

Additionally, her freezing abilities provide crucial crowd control, allowing her team to coordinate attacks. Luna Snow’s ultimate, Fate of Both Worlds, offers strategic flexibility, enabling her to switch between healing and damage boosting within a large area of effect.

3. Jeff The Land Shark

• Pros: Great crowd control, Massive healing
• Cons: Very low health

With Jeff, you can splash healing at your allies with just your normal attack. It heals 140 HP per second, which is huge compared to many strategists. You also have another healing ability bubble that heals and increases both Healing Boost and Movement Boost. It also launches enemies up, which acts as a perfect crowd control.

Jeff’s ultimate lets you eat enemies from an area and launch them into oblivion. You can exploit this ability to wipe out a full team. You can also take the zone capture advantage by removing them from the objective location. Furthermore, once you team Jeff up with Luna, your alt attack will be replaced with a snowball that deals AOE damage and slows enemies.

2. Mantis

• Pros: Constant overtime healing, Additional boost support, Greater healing ultimate
• Cons: Weak crowd control

As an indirect healing support, Mantis is flawless. She absorbs Life Orbs to heal herself and her allies, boosting their damage output and making them more effective in combat. Her sleep ability provides crucial crowd control, disrupting enemy pushes and creating counterattack opportunities. Her ultimate, Soul Resurgence, speeds up her team and offers healing over time.

Mantis should actively engage enemies to maximize her healing potential, as attacking regenerates Life Orbs and triggers her Nature’s Favour passive for additional movement speed. Unlike other strategists, Mantis cannot directly target allies with healing spells, making her reliance on Life Orb absorption essential for her support role.

1. Adam Warlock

• Pros: Lot of resurrection, Huge healing, Good crowd control
• Cons: Low damage

Adam Warlock is the ultimate support hero, great in support, control, and offense. His Quantum Magic strikes amplify headshot damage, boosting the team’s DPS. His Soul Bond unites allies, providing healing and damage sharing.

Additionally, the Avatar of Life offers self-healing and heals nearby allies in a large chunk. His ultimate, Karmic Revival, resurrects fallen allies. Moreover, if you team up with Star-Lord or Mantis, his Regenerative Cocoon also allows for a strategic resurrection.
