Marvel Rivals 6.5 Tier List

Groot TANK

Tank

The wall. The wall. THE WALL. Groot's kit enables so many compositions — Groot-Thing, Groot-Moonknight spawn-holds — that entire tournament strategies are designed around him. People drop Mag to play Groot. That tells you everything.

Tankpool TANK

Tank / DPS Hybrid

One player hit rank 1 on three separate accounts playing only Tankpool. Three accounts. Tanky as a frontliner, his ult farms fast, he can permanently flank, and his E gives the whole team damage reduction on dive. Ran in scrims. People forgo banning Gambit to ban him instead.

Gambit SUPPORT

Support

One of the two supports you absolutely do not want to let through. If Gambit is open, Rogue becomes a terrorist. If Gambit is open, your entire team comp gets supercharged. He's broken and everyone in competitive knows it.

Elsa Bloodstone SUPPORT

Support

The gold standard that every other support gets compared to — and loses. Her summon can instantly kill the entire enemy team, stun them for up to 12 seconds, or push them off the map. She counters triple support. She has instant cast time. She doesn't care about shields. She is the reason half the F Tier exists.

Phoenix DPS

DPS

Broken. Just broken. She counters Rocket (though you can break her out of it). Her presence in a game warps what the enemy team can run. High ban priority in tournament play.

Bucky DPS

DPS

Definitely S tier. Most definitely S tier. One of the best DPS options in the Marvel Rivals 6.5 meta.

Angela TANK

Dive Tank

Best dive tank in the game right now. Mogs Venom, mogs Cap in most situations. When diving is the right call, Angela is the right pick.

Star-Lord DPS

DPS

Got a massive buff with the charge changes. Good character, legitimately good. The chat debated him between A and S for fifteen minutes, and S won. Congratulations, Peter.

Hela DPS

DPS

A good Daredevil player is very strong, but Hela is S tier. Consistent damage, high-value ultimate, strong presence in coordinated play.

Cloak & Dagger SUPPORT

Support

The terror cape is insane. Two terror capes, damage amplification, can kill through triple support. Expect to see Cloak & Dagger increasingly in tournament play: the kit is just that strong.

Loki SUPPORT

Support

Always good. First or second ban in pro play, every single time. If you watch any competitive Marvel Rivals content, you will see Loki banned before the match even starts.

Invisible Woman SUPPORT

Support

High S tier, borderline broken. Strong counterplay exists (Elsa, Rogue), but she's arguably the best support outside Gambit and Loki. Invis is busted. The chat agreed.

Magneto TANK

Tank

Struggles a bit in the current meta: too many counters, teams dropping him for Groot: but still S tier overall. "I win more when I'm not playing Mag" is not a Mag problem, that's a meta problem.

Daredevi lDPS

Melee DPS

The exception to the rule that melee characters suck in this game. A good DD player is very, very strong. The only melee character worth considering in competitive Marvel Rivals.

Hawkeye DPS

DPS

A terrorist in ranked. Easily diveable in theory, but in practice he's causing chaos across every lobby. A tier. Moxy agrees.

Mantis SUPPORT

Support

Really OP in triple support compositions. Her only weakness is that she only shines in triple support, which limits her flexibility slightly. Still a top-tier pick in the right comp.

Adam Warlock SUPPORT

Support

Moved up to A tier after recent buffs. If you're a good Adam player, you essentially cannot die in triple support. Meta-relevant. Pay attention to this one.

Psylocke (Sai) DPS

DPS

Good, not great. Struggles a bit against triple support, and there are better dive options: but she's still A tier and solid in the right hands.

Thing TANK

Tank

TTK ran Groot-Thing every single game in the Bora Bash. Every. Single. Game. The data supports A tier.

Spider-Man DPS

DPS

The spiciest pick on this list. Spider-Man was dominating the Bora Bash so hard they had to ban him to stop it. When a good Spider-Man player hits the lobby, nothing feels counterable. Crackhead tier? Maybe. Correct? Also maybe.

Thor TANK

Tank

After being in F and D tier for what felt like geological eons, Thor has climbed to A tier. Great against shield tanks. Still gets cooked by poke, Elsa, and Punisher: but the upside is real. The Torheads finally won.

Emma Frost TANK

Tank

Pick her to hard-counter Thor or Thing. 20-second cooldown on her main ability is rough, and she struggles against dive-heavy comps. Solid in the right matchup. A tier after the final chat vote.

Doctor Strange TANK

Tank

He's a TP bot. If you play Strange, your team cannot swap because you're still alive and hogging the teleport. Angela counters him, Wolverine counters him, Invis counters him, Emma counters him hard. Mid character. Not goated.

Moon Knight DPS

DPS

Cheesy, very cheesy. Great ult speed, excellent at breaking spawn holds with Groot. Once the enemy team actually adjusts, his value drops. Still a legitimate pick in pro play for specific setups.

Storm DPS

DPS

Got significant buffs in 6.5. Not about the ult anymore: it's the damage boost and sustained pressure she enables for DPS teammates. Expect her in pro play on payload maps. Season is young; may move up.

Punisher DPS

DPS

Consistent. Good against triple tank. Can one-shot. Easy to counter. Much better when Magneto is banned. A very balanced, very un-flashy B tier character. Balanced. The word is balanced.

Rogue DPS

DPS

If Gambit is open, you have to play Rogue. That's how strong the synergy is. Without Gambit, she's a solid B tier that struggles against triple support and sustained poke.

Wolverine DPS

DPS

Countered by Invisible Woman. Countered by Thing. If the enemy team has either, your Wolverine picks aren't doing much. Without those, he's a lobby admin. High ceiling, hard-capped by the meta.

Venom TANK

Tank

Got a buff, but it doesn't move the needle much. Struggles against stuns and sustained spam, which is everywhere in 6.5. Serviceable but outclassed by Angela for dive duties.

Captain America TANK

Tank

Good in higher ELO. Best dive tank? Not quite. Angela beats him. But Cap is genuinely fine and the "Cap is terrible" argument is overstated. B tier, comfortably.

Luna Snow SUPPORT

Support

In a world where Loki, Gambit, Invisible Woman, Mantis, and Adam all exist, there isn't a compelling reason to run Luna. She can be killed fairly easily. B tier: not bad, just perpetually outprioritized.

Rocket RaccoonSUPPORT

Support

Gets countered by Phoenix, but you can break Phoenix out of it. Fine support. Probably A tier in a vacuum without the Phoenix matchup problem. B tier in the current landscape.

Magik DPS

Melee DPS

One swap and she's done. Every team that knows how to play will swap into her. We saw it at the Bora Bash: Kingsman got rolled by pros who just swapped. Melee characters don't work in this game. Daredevil is the sole exception.

Jeff the Land Shark SUPPORT

Support

Technically workable in triple support with experienced players. In practice, 99% of Jeff players don't know how to flank, use the ult correctly, or extract value. Borderline B tier: but most Jeff games don't look like B tier games.

Mr. Fantastic TANK

Tank

You can out-heal all of his damage. If he doesn't get his shields, he just dies. Not terrible, just thoroughly un-threatening. C tier.

Heal Pool / DPS Pool SUPPORT

Support / DPS

Here's the problem: if Deadpool is open, you're supposed to play Tankpool. By playing HealPool or DPS Pool, you're locking your team out of Tankpool, which is infinitely better than both. They exist. They shouldn't be played.

Ultron TANK

Tank

Dies to hitscan. Dies to Magneto. Dies to everything. Too slow. Barely any self-healing. Was good for a while. That while has ended. He's kind of homeless.

Human Torch DPS

DPS

Was OP. Is no longer OP. Doesn't deal enough damage now, dies to poke, can't win 1v1s, ult gets eaten by support ults, no team-up. The only reason he's above F tier is because he has some skill expression. Barely.

Hulk TANK

Tank

By the time he transforms, he gets hit by 50 stuns and dies. Elsa can kill him mid-ult. The team-up doesn't do much. One of the worst tanks in the game. No amount of crackhead energy overcomes this kit.

Penny Parker TANK

Tank

Lost her good team-up. Her new team-up actively makes her worse because it kicks her out of Big Mode when it expires. You can cheese wins against bad teams. Against anyone with two functioning brain cells, it ends poorly.

BladeDPS

DPS

His whole identity is countering triple support. He doesn't do that. His dash is bad. His anti-heal is bad. His ult is bad. He needs a complete rework. He is not played. He does not work. He is homeless.

Black PantherDPS

DPS

Too many counters. Triple support is meta and rolls him entirely. One swap ruins his entire game plan. Expect 20+ deaths minimum. The only person who ever got OA on BP is proof that you can get OA on literally anyone with enough games: not that the hero is good.

Scarlet WitchDPS

DPS

Her ult takes 4 seconds to charge and might kill stuff if no one is behind a shield, if no one stuns her, and if the stars align. Elsa does the same job instantly, through shields, without needing to stand still. There is no reason to play Scarlet Witch.

Squirrel GirlDPS

DPS

Great in Bronze because you don't have to aim. A charity pick past that. Compare SG's ult (slow, low HP, kills nothing) to Elsa's ult (kills everyone, stuns for 12 seconds, pushes off map). The power creep is genuinely embarrassing.

Iron ManDPS

DPS

Magneto makes him useless. Even without Magneto, he's useless: too big a hitbox, too much hitscan in the meta. You can cough in his general direction and he dies. Nobody played him in any tournament. This is not a coincidence.

Black WidowDPS

DPS

So bad that she made an opposing player famous just by being countered. If a character is so weak that losing to her is a career-defining moment for the person who beat her: that character is F tier. That character is F tier.

ArmanDPS

DPS

The meta is poke. Arman cannot poke. Arman is F tier. This one is not debated, even by Arman mains.
