Marvel Rivals Strategist tier list (February 2025)

Marvel Rivals Strategist tier list is an essential part of knowing the hero meta running in the game. Strategists in Marvel Rivals are support class heroes who excel at providing their team with useful utility, and of course, a wave of healing throughout the duration of the match.

Strategists are amongst the most popular hero classes featured in the game, and for all the right reasons. While players might generally assume that these support heroes are merely healers, and lack any form of firepower, they would be extremely wrong. They're extremely powerful, and in the right hands, they can absolutely wreak havoc against enemy players.

That said, this article will explore the Marvel Rivals Strategist tier list in a detailed fashion. To know more, read below.

Marvel Rivals Strategist tier list: All heroes ranked from best to worst

The Marvel Rivals Strategist tier list has four categories:

• S-tier: S-tier heroes are currently meta in the game. They have the best possible abilities that you can use to dominate your competition on the field.
• A-tier: A-tier heroes are significantly more powerful than the tiers mentioned below. Though not meta, they can absolutely hold their own in the game and are powerful hero picks.
• B-tier: These heroes are not meta, but are rather niche hero picks. Though not the strongest in the ongoing meta, B-tier heroes, when used right, can provide great utility to the team.
• C-tier: This tier features the worst heroes in the current meta of Marvel Rivals. Preferably refrain from using them in your competitive games.

Here's how our Marvel Rivals Strategist tier list looks:

Tier	Strategist
S	Luna Snow, Loki, Mantis
A	Cloak & Dagger, Adam Warlock, Invisible Woman
B	Rocket Raccoon
C	Jeff The Land Shark

S tier: Most effective Strategist heroes

Luna Snow offers a great range of burst healing, damage output, and team support. Her ultimate ability makes all her teammates immortal for a brief period, which could turn the game around.

Mantis has an exceptional healing ability that provides continuous support to the team. Moreover, she deals great damage and can sedate enemies, which comes very handy in crucial situations. Not only does her ultimate provide a large amount of healing, but it also boosts her movement speed. Mantis is an all-around Strategist and should be one character players try to master.

Loki is one of the most interesting heroes in Marvel Rivals. He is capable of creating illusions and shapeshifting, which often frustrates opponents. The character can transform into any other hero and use their abilities. Moreover, his healing and damage are very well balanced.

A tier: Good but not the best

Invisible Woman's ability to block damage is unique in the Marvel Rivals Strategist class. Her primary fire provides a good amount of healing that passes through teammates. Meanwhile, her ultimate is a large healing field that makes characters inside it invisible to opponents. However, Invisible Woman does not compare to Luna Snow or Loki with their ultimate abilities.

Adam Warlock is one of the most versatile Marvel Rivals Strategists. He provides a good mix of offense, healing, and crowd control. However, this also comes with the downside of having only two healing charges.

Cloak & Dagger has an interesting dynamic, being able to debuff enemies while healing teammates. This hero also has great mobility options, but healing is where it lags behind S-tier Strategists.

B tier: Decent but situational choices

Rocket Raccoon is good at providing utility through his armory support abilities. He can summon boosters to enhance the fire rate of teammates around him. However, his healing output is limited compared to others, and his crowd-control capabilities are minimal, which makes him less effective as a primary Strategist.

C tier: Least effective Strategists

Jeff the Land Shark is a Strategist whose healing and crowd-control abilities are decent. However, his low survivability, especially in solo fights, is concerning.

Jeff's ultimate can create high-impact moments by disrupting enemy formations, but many heroes can dodge its attacks. In most cases, the hero needs to sacrifice himself to get eliminations. Jeff is good in slower-paced matches but struggles when things get too fast and competitive.
