The full hero roster is pre-loaded — drag Vanguards, Duelists and Strategists into S through D, add new-season heroes, and build the Marvel Rivals tier list you actually play.

This board is the hero shooter. For the films and their characters use the Marvel tier list, and for the fighting game the Marvel Contest of Champions tier list.
This Marvel Rivals tier list loads the hero roster across all three roles — Vanguard (tank) frontliners like Hulk and Venom, Duelist (DPS) damage like Hela, Psylocke and Iron Man, and Strategist (support and healer) picks like Luna Snow, Mantis and Cloak & Dagger. Drag each into S through D and build a Marvel Rivals hero tier list that fits your rank and playstyle. Weigh solo carry potential, team-up synergies, survivability and how reliably a pick swings a fight.
Stuck between two heroes? The community poll above the board tallies real votes, so the current Rivals meta comes from the player base rather than one guide. New to ranking? Our how to make a tier list guide covers it, and what S-tier means settles the top row. Add anything missing, then export a PNG.
Seasonal buffs, nerfs and new team-up abilities move heroes up and down, so treat the tray as a starting point rather than a locked ranking. Drop heroes you never touch, promote your reliable carries, and use + Add items to add each new-season hero. The roster is current as of the mid-2026 season — re-rank at the start of each new season to keep your Marvel Rivals season tier list current, and the newest heroes are one tap away.
Marvel Rivals splits its roster into three roles, and a tier list that mixes them together tells you very little about who to pick:
Because hero value is decided by team composition and Team-Up abilities, not by solo strength. A hero who is unremarkable alone can be excellent paired with the right partner, and a strong pick collapses into a comp that cannot protect them. Rank matters as well: heroes that dominate coordinated play often struggle in solo queue where nobody covers for them, and the reverse is just as common. Balance patches then reshuffle everything each season, so always check what season a list was written for.
The hero roster is pre-loaded. Drag each hero from the tray into a tier from S to D, then export a PNG. Start ranking right away — no login needed.
You build the ranking, and the community poll below shows how everyone else places each hero, so the meta reflects real votes. Rank by role — Vanguard, Duelist or Strategist — and how a hero performs in the current season.
Hit Add items and type the hero's name — it drops into the tray. The pre-loaded roster is a starting point, so add each new hero as seasons launch.
Yes. Filter the board to one role for a Marvel Rivals tank (Vanguard), DPS (Duelist), or support and healer (Strategist) tier list, and re-rank each season for a current-season tier list.
Vanguards are the tanks who hold space, Duelists are the damage dealers, and Strategists are the supports and healers. Most tier lists are more useful when you rank within a role rather than across all three.
Team-Up abilities and team composition change a hero's value substantially, and heroes that shine in coordinated play often struggle in solo queue. Seasonal balance patches then move the whole board.
At higher ranks they usually do. Sustain and buffs decide extended fights, so a strong Strategist frequently contributes more to a win than an extra damage pick.
