Working in a supportive role on the battlefield, Strategists behave more like combat medics. But you don't need to focus just on healing tanks to keep the dream alive. No, it's time to fight back as the ultimate support. There are seven Strategists as of Marvel Rivals season 0. These Strategists are the healers of the lobby, making them a vital part of the team. While it's best to pair Strategists together, you're not forced to play particular heroes (unless a Team-Up is required). Instead, Strategists are more than capable of dealing damage while healing themselves and their teammates, making them the foundation a team is built around. Table of contentsMarvel Rivals: Strategist tier list (season 0)S tierA tierB tierC tier Marvel Rivals: Strategist tier list (season 0) This list has considered multiple factors when coming up with the tiers and entry order. We have thought about their strength in healing and fighting, their impact on a team, how they affect the opposition, and finally, how easy they are to use compared to other heroes. Let's dive into our Strategist tier list for Marvel Rivals. Tier HeroS Mantis, Luna Snow A Adam Warlock, Cloak and Dagger B Loki, Jeff the Land Shark C Rocket Raccoon S tier Mantis Mantis is the easiest Strategist to get your head around. Her heals are pretty much continuous and she deals decent damage across the board as long as you're protected by team members. Mantis can be played both aggressively or defensively, and how you choose to play her really depends on your playstyle. She can pocket a DPS, buffing their damage through inspiration, or protect them during their ultimate. Mantis performs best when she assists her team through shooting and switching to healing when they get critically low. She doesn't deal as much damage as Luna Snow or Adam Warlock, but her simple kit and continuous healing makes her a support you can rely on. The greatest thing you can do as Mantis is time your sleeps for the prime moment. Playing alongside your team, Mantis can halt an enemy's movements, allowing you or your team to quickly and easily pick them off. This is highly effective against tanks like Venom, Hulk, and Thor. Pros Deals continual healing to self and teammates. Heal teammates and sedate enemies to halt their movement, letting any Vanguard or Duelist beside you quickly kill them before the effects wear off. Her kit is incredibly easy to use. Her sleep ability is crucial for when enemies dive on her. Cons Low damage output. Required to play next to the Vanguard or multiple Duelists at all times. Limited defensively and offensively if caught out by enemy Duelists. Luna Snow The hardest Strategist to use if you're terrible at aiming, Luna Snow can heal and damage enemies all with a click of a button. Her ultimate is a great distraction, stalling for her team or keeping them alive during overtime. Her projectiles deal damage similar to Warlock's charged attack, increasing her overall threat level to Strategists and Duelists. Snow's freeze is similar to Mantis's sedation, which also stops enemy's movements. This is incredibly helpful against movement heroes and tanks who are trying to isolate you from your team. Snow can play across all ranges, but she needs teammates with her to make most use out of her kit and stay in the fight for as long as she can. Pros Has a hilarious ultimate that makes Luna immortal while buffing or healing teammates (a combination of Overwatch's Lucio and Zenyatta). Fast mobility to get onto the objective. Can freeze enemies in place. Timing this with teammate ultimates, or when Duelists are near you, is key to effectively using her Absolute Zero. You can also use this to stop incoming enemies from jumping on the convoy or point (ending the overtime countdown). Cons Difficult to shoot with, making her less effective than others if you're not good at aiming. Dishes minimal damage unless you rely solely on her Ice Arts. Can become targeted by Duelists if Adam is the only healer on the team. His kit is long-range, making him somewhat hopeless if heroes like Iron Fist, Spider-Man, or Wolverine attack him. A tier Adam Warlock A reliable hero for heals and damage, Warlock is the best Strategist in Marvel Rivals season 0. His charged attack deals significant damage to Strategists and Duelists alike, rendering them critically low or swiftly killing them as he assists his team. He does have a downside, though: His healing is far more limited than other Strategists. This can leave the team in a vulnerable state if he's the only healer. Therefore, determining when to heal requires more strategy than if you're using Mantis or Luna Snow. You cannot continuously heal, and you'll have a longer cooldown than every other Strategist. But Warlock's ability to safely reposition if he is killed\u2014paired with his revive ultimate that can be a real gamechanger in a match\u2014makes him our go-to pick as the backbone of a team filled with tanks and DPS heroes. Pros Within a limited timeframe, Adam is invulnerable as he repositions himself while respawning. This is incredibly helpful if you're moving the convoy or trying to stall time so your Vanguard and Duelists can get back into the action. Quickly revives multiple teammates inside his Karmic Revival, bringing heroes that would otherwise by too slow to get back onto the objective. Timing this perfectly is crucial in the final moments of a match. Heals multiple teammates at once with his soul bond. His charged attack can quickly kill DPS heroes (if you're accurate when releasing the charge), while his standard attack can pick off critically low enemies. Capable of healing an entire team as the only active Strategist. Cons Extremely limited mobility. Basically a sniper hero, so his damage is only as good as your aim. Long healing cooldowns. Cloak and Dagger Cloak and Dagger is the hardest Strategist to master because you have to handle two heroes in one, managing DPS and support roles within a single character. While they are self-sufficient, capable of protecting themselves and aiding others, Cloak and Dagger can easily tunnel vision. Swaying more to the DPS side, you may find yourself choosing to stay as Dagger for your own benefit and swapping to Cloak when you're critically low. This self-sufficient kit makes Cloak and Dagger more like a solo hero (similar to Namor), where they aren't playing with the team as much as other Strategists. But when you play Cloak and Dagger as intended, supporting the team with damage and heals, this hero becomes borderline unkillable. Pros Can obscure enemy vision. Unkillable if their kit is utilized properly (switching between the two heroes seamlessly while taking damage). All-range fighter, capable of dealing damage close and at long range. Cons Consistency and timing are crucial to mastering Cloak and Dagger's kit. You must pay close attention to your and your teammates' health and positioning so you don't miss out on healing any critically low heroes. B tier Loki Out of all the Strategists, Loki is the hardest to kill. His health pool seems never-ending, as he can quickly heal himself while distracting you with his clones. Capable of swiftly moving around the map without being spotted, it can take a few moments before you clock where the real Loki is. This lets him move around unnoticed and safely heal his teammates while his fellow Strategists get targeted. Yes, his clones are easy to kill, but Loki can take their form whenever he pleases, making him a difficult target to keep track of. Pros Confuses enemies with his clones, who stand stationary and shoot anyone within their line of sight This wastes enemies' time and ammunition, giving your teammates the opening they need to kill them. You can take control of your clones at any point, which can either put you in an advantageous position or backfire if you make a poor decision. Cons As you're trying to trick opponents, you are often forced to play in the background and hide from the enemy line of sight. This makes Loki's kit feel wasteful and perhaps better suited to someone like Punisher, who can place turrets that act similarly to Loki's clones. Deals minimal damage without his clones. Timing is key to correctly utilizing this hero. You need to manage your heals for your teammates while simultaneously keeping an eye on your clone positions at all times. Jeff We all know how annoying Jeff can be. Easily distracted by his cuteness, Jeff punishes those who play as a unit by swallowing them whole and spitting them out of the map\u2014but this move is only over-powered during overtime. His heals are weaker than others, as he needs to frequently replenish his beam by eating a fish, leaving his team to fight by themselves. While his Hide and Seek mode distracts enemies and protects Jeff most of the time, it means he spends more time playing for the highlight reel rather than healing his team when it matters most. However, when paired with Groot, Jeff is a fantastic support (so long as he doesn't spend the entire time waiting out his ultimate cooldown). Pros Adorable. Acting as a sacrificial lamb, Jeff can pick up multiple heroes in his ultimate and move them to a spot that's far from the objective. Excellent mobility that makes his hitbox minuscule, making him a difficult target to track. Can place healing bubbles near the objective and hide from enemies' line of sight immediately afterward with his Hide and Seek ability. Cons Incredibly small health pool, making him ridiculously easy to kill if isolated. Jeff cannot be the only Strategist on the team, or it's highly likely he will be focused every time he makes his presence known. Slower healer than other Strategists. Instead of being reactive when your teammates are critically low, you need to think about when is the right time to heal and when you should hide. His Healing Bubbles require more consideration in their placement than simply placing them down and retreating to the backline. C tier Rocket By no means is this list stating Rocket is a weak support. Put in the right hands, Rocket can easily heal more than 10,000 HP points of his team, and his small frame and tiny hitbox make him just as hard to kill as a Jeff roaming around in Hide and Seek mode. Rocket provides armor and health to teammates and can revive them in a safe spot, removing the time it takes for a respawned player to get back to the objective. Rocket isn't as strong as others because he needs another healer to help protect him. His kit is more balanced than others, meaning it can't be as effective as other Strategists when it comes to healing his team. This automatically brings down his strength as a healer. Pros Small hitbox and excellent movement, making him a difficult Strategist to kill. Can place a revive beacon anywhere, safely bringing fallen teammates into the fight in a secure and safe spot that won't immediately result in their demise. Cons Inconsistent healing due to the ricocheting effect his Repair Mode bullets have. While he offers armor to teammates, his healing is less impactful than other Strategists. Isn't strong enough to heal an entire team on his own.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/marvel-rivals-loki.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1226220"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2396"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1226220"}],"version-history":[{"count":17,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1226220\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1486852,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1226220\/revisions\/1486852"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1226240"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1226220"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1226220"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1226220"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=1226220"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=1226220"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=1226220"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1226220"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}

Working in a supportive role on the battlefield, Strategists behave more like combat medics. But you don't need to focus just on healing tanks to keep the dream alive. No, it's time to fight back as the ultimate support. There are seven Strategists as of Marvel Rivals season 0. These Strategists are the healers of the lobby, making them a vital part of the team. While it's best to pair Strategists together, you're not forced to play particular heroes (unless a Team-Up is required). Instead, Strategists are more than capable of dealing damage while healing themselves and their teammates, making them the foundation a team is built around. Table of contentsMarvel Rivals: Strategist tier list (season 0)S tierA tierB tierC tier Marvel Rivals: Strategist tier list (season 0) This list has considered multiple factors when coming up with the tiers and entry order. We have thought about their strength in healing and fighting, their impact on a team, how they affect the opposition, and finally, how easy they are to use compared to other heroes. Let's dive into our Strategist tier list for Marvel Rivals. Tier HeroS Mantis, Luna Snow A Adam Warlock, Cloak and Dagger B Loki, Jeff the Land Shark C Rocket Raccoon S tier Mantis Mantis is the easiest Strategist to get your head around. Her heals are pretty much continuous and she deals decent damage across the board as long as you're protected by team members. Mantis can be played both aggressively or defensively, and how you choose to play her really depends on your playstyle. She can pocket a DPS, buffing their damage through inspiration, or protect them during their ultimate. Mantis performs best when she assists her team through shooting and switching to healing when they get critically low. She doesn't deal as much damage as Luna Snow or Adam Warlock, but her simple kit and continuous healing makes her a support you can rely on. The greatest thing you can do as Mantis is time your sleeps for the prime moment. Playing alongside your team, Mantis can halt an enemy's movements, allowing you or your team to quickly and easily pick them off. This is highly effective against tanks like Venom, Hulk, and Thor. Pros Deals continual healing to self and teammates. Heal teammates and sedate enemies to halt their movement, letting any Vanguard or Duelist beside you quickly kill them before the effects wear off. Her kit is incredibly easy to use. Her sleep ability is crucial for when enemies dive on her. Cons Low damage output. Required to play next to the Vanguard or multiple Duelists at all times. Limited defensively and offensively if caught out by enemy Duelists. Luna Snow The hardest Strategist to use if you're terrible at aiming, Luna Snow can heal and damage enemies all with a click of a button. Her ultimate is a great distraction, stalling for her team or keeping them alive during overtime. Her projectiles deal damage similar to Warlock's charged attack, increasing her overall threat level to Strategists and Duelists. Snow's freeze is similar to Mantis's sedation, which also stops enemy's movements. This is incredibly helpful against movement heroes and tanks who are trying to isolate you from your team. Snow can play across all ranges, but she needs teammates with her to make most use out of her kit and stay in the fight for as long as she can. Pros Has a hilarious ultimate that makes Luna immortal while buffing or healing teammates (a combination of Overwatch's Lucio and Zenyatta). Fast mobility to get onto the objective. Can freeze enemies in place. Timing this with teammate ultimates, or when Duelists are near you, is key to effectively using her Absolute Zero. You can also use this to stop incoming enemies from jumping on the convoy or point (ending the overtime countdown). Cons Difficult to shoot with, making her less effective than others if you're not good at aiming. Dishes minimal damage unless you rely solely on her Ice Arts. Can become targeted by Duelists if Adam is the only healer on the team. His kit is long-range, making him somewhat hopeless if heroes like Iron Fist, Spider-Man, or Wolverine attack him. A tier Adam Warlock A reliable hero for heals and damage, Warlock is the best Strategist in Marvel Rivals season 0. His charged attack deals significant damage to Strategists and Duelists alike, rendering them critically low or swiftly killing them as he assists his team. He does have a downside, though: His healing is far more limited than other Strategists. This can leave the team in a vulnerable state if he's the only healer. Therefore, determining when to heal requires more strategy than if you're using Mantis or Luna Snow. You cannot continuously heal, and you'll have a longer cooldown than every other Strategist. But Warlock's ability to safely reposition if he is killed\u2014paired with his revive ultimate that can be a real gamechanger in a match\u2014makes him our go-to pick as the backbone of a team filled with tanks and DPS heroes. Pros Within a limited timeframe, Adam is invulnerable as he repositions himself while respawning. This is incredibly helpful if you're moving the convoy or trying to stall time so your Vanguard and Duelists can get back into the action. Quickly revives multiple teammates inside his Karmic Revival, bringing heroes that would otherwise by too slow to get back onto the objective. Timing this perfectly is crucial in the final moments of a match. Heals multiple teammates at once with his soul bond. His charged attack can quickly kill DPS heroes (if you're accurate when releasing the charge), while his standard attack can pick off critically low enemies. Capable of healing an entire team as the only active Strategist. Cons Extremely limited mobility. Basically a sniper hero, so his damage is only as good as your aim. Long healing cooldowns. Cloak and Dagger Cloak and Dagger is the hardest Strategist to master because you have to handle two heroes in one, managing DPS and support roles within a single character. While they are self-sufficient, capable of protecting themselves and aiding others, Cloak and Dagger can easily tunnel vision. Swaying more to the DPS side, you may find yourself choosing to stay as Dagger for your own benefit and swapping to Cloak when you're critically low. This self-sufficient kit makes Cloak and Dagger more like a solo hero (similar to Namor), where they aren't playing with the team as much as other Strategists. But when you play Cloak and Dagger as intended, supporting the team with damage and heals, this hero becomes borderline unkillable. Pros Can obscure enemy vision. Unkillable if their kit is utilized properly (switching between the two heroes seamlessly while taking damage). All-range fighter, capable of dealing damage close and at long range. Cons Consistency and timing are crucial to mastering Cloak and Dagger's kit. You must pay close attention to your and your teammates' health and positioning so you don't miss out on healing any critically low heroes. B tier Loki Out of all the Strategists, Loki is the hardest to kill. His health pool seems never-ending, as he can quickly heal himself while distracting you with his clones. Capable of swiftly moving around the map without being spotted, it can take a few moments before you clock where the real Loki is. This lets him move around unnoticed and safely heal his teammates while his fellow Strategists get targeted. Yes, his clones are easy to kill, but Loki can take their form whenever he pleases, making him a difficult target to keep track of. Pros Confuses enemies with his clones, who stand stationary and shoot anyone within their line of sight This wastes enemies' time and ammunition, giving your teammates the opening they need to kill them. You can take control of your clones at any point, which can either put you in an advantageous position or backfire if you make a poor decision. Cons As you're trying to trick opponents, you are often forced to play in the background and hide from the enemy line of sight. This makes Loki's kit feel wasteful and perhaps better suited to someone like Punisher, who can place turrets that act similarly to Loki's clones. Deals minimal damage without his clones. Timing is key to correctly utilizing this hero. You need to manage your heals for your teammates while simultaneously keeping an eye on your clone positions at all times. Jeff We all know how annoying Jeff can be. Easily distracted by his cuteness, Jeff punishes those who play as a unit by swallowing them whole and spitting them out of the map\u2014but this move is only over-powered during overtime. His heals are weaker than others, as he needs to frequently replenish his beam by eating a fish, leaving his team to fight by themselves. While his Hide and Seek mode distracts enemies and protects Jeff most of the time, it means he spends more time playing for the highlight reel rather than healing his team when it matters most. However, when paired with Groot, Jeff is a fantastic support (so long as he doesn't spend the entire time waiting out his ultimate cooldown). Pros Adorable. Acting as a sacrificial lamb, Jeff can pick up multiple heroes in his ultimate and move them to a spot that's far from the objective. Excellent mobility that makes his hitbox minuscule, making him a difficult target to track. Can place healing bubbles near the objective and hide from enemies' line of sight immediately afterward with his Hide and Seek ability. Cons Incredibly small health pool, making him ridiculously easy to kill if isolated. Jeff cannot be the only Strategist on the team, or it's highly likely he will be focused every time he makes his presence known. Slower healer than other Strategists. Instead of being reactive when your teammates are critically low, you need to think about when is the right time to heal and when you should hide. His Healing Bubbles require more consideration in their placement than simply placing them down and retreating to the backline. C tier Rocket By no means is this list stating Rocket is a weak support. Put in the right hands, Rocket can easily heal more than 10,000 HP points of his team, and his small frame and tiny hitbox make him just as hard to kill as a Jeff roaming around in Hide and Seek mode. Rocket provides armor and health to teammates and can revive them in a safe spot, removing the time it takes for a respawned player to get back to the objective. Rocket isn't as strong as others because he needs another healer to help protect him. His kit is more balanced than others, meaning it can't be as effective as other Strategists when it comes to healing his team. This automatically brings down his strength as a healer. Pros Small hitbox and excellent movement, making him a difficult Strategist to kill. Can place a revive beacon anywhere, safely bringing fallen teammates into the fight in a secure and safe spot that won't immediately result in their demise. Cons Inconsistent healing due to the ricocheting effect his Repair Mode bullets have. While he offers armor to teammates, his healing is less impactful than other Strategists. Isn't strong enough to heal an entire team on his own.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/marvel-rivals-loki.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1226220"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2396"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1226220"}],"version-history":[{"count":17,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1226220\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1486852,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1226220\/revisions\/1486852"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1226240"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1226220"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1226220"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1226220"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=1226220"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=1226220"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=1226220"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1226220"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
