All Support characters in Marvel Rivals

2 weeks ago 54

Marvel Rivals is here, and while it may draw a lot of inspiration from other team shooters, namely Overwatch, the Support role is still here. If you’re a player interested in playing this way, here are all the Support characters currently in Marvel Rivals.

The following characters are also selectable at launch. We will list them based on the comic they originate from along with a quick rundown of what they do and who they are most like from Overwatch.

Adam Warlock – Guardians of the Galaxy

Adam Warlock plays a healer role in this game. He can dish out decent damage with his offensive abilities, so he can make a big difference in a push.

If you were a fan of Mercy in Overwatch, Adam Warlock will be right up your alley. He can revive downed teammates, which is going to always be a huge point of contention for many. He’s also capable of burst-healing himself or teammates, so he’ll definitely have a pocket role if desired.

Cloak and Dagger – Cloak and Dagger

Cloak and Dagger are an interesting duo here. You can swap between them, altering what kind of role you want to have. If you combine Ana with Ramattra’s stance switching, this is the outcome.

Cloak’s abilities are more supportive, providing healing for her teammates. Even her primary fire is quite literally Ana’s Biotic Rifle. Shoot enemies to kill or allies to heal.

As for Dagger, he provides more of a buffing and debuffing role. He can blind enemies, make them susceptible to more damage, and provide decent damage over time (DoT). As a support, he can increase his teammates’ movement speed, turn them invisible, and even make them untargetable.

Jeff the Land Shark – West Coast Avengers

Jeff the Land Shark is an interesting pick for a Support role. He’ll be a nuisance for the enemy team because he’s resistant to Critical Hits, and his many traversal abilities make him hard to hit.

He’s a mix between Lucio and Venture. The Lucio part comes into play because Jeff can give himself a speed boost and move on walls. A good Lucio in Overwatch can distract the enemy team while still providing decent team healing. In Marvel Rivals, Jeff is looking to do the same, while being able to submerge himself for sneak attacks, breaking formations, and giving his team a proper push into an objective.

Loki – Venus, Thor

Loki takes all the annoying aspects of Sombra and Echo into a Support role. Like other Support heroes, his basic attack can either damage enemies or heal teammates. Nothing out of the ordinary here. Where things start to get wild is when he assumes the role of another character. with copycat abilities.

It gets even more interesting when he can make decoys of himself, providing such a good distraction. It pairs even better with his cloaking ability. Yup, he can go invisible, get behind enemy lines, and perform his Backstab to potentially pick someone off from your back line.

Luna Snow – Marvel Future Fight

If Jeff didn’t sell you as a Lucio alternative, Luna Snow may be a better pick. She has abilities that synergize with each other for better solo healing, but she can definitely provide a lot for her team as well. Instead of a speed boost, she can increase her team’s damage output with her “Fate of Both Worlds” ability.

She’s literally skating around, making her a hard target to hit. If you still want that kind of movement style, Luna is gonna be your girl.

Mantis – Guardians of the Galaxy

Mantis is similar to Zenyatta because of her Orbs, but they are based on her criticals rather than cooldowns. They are no Discord Orbs; they give a damage boost to the holder instead of painting a target to take extra damage.

She can be played like Baptiste because you have to target your allies for healing while also assuming more of a DPS role.

Mantis is definitely going to be a hero where you can tell what a good one looks like versus one who’s learning the ropes.

Rocket Raccoon – Guardians of the Galaxy

Rocket has the verticality of someone like Hanzo, with the floatiness and rez potential of Mercy, with pack providing off of Brigitte, but the damage amplification of someone like Baptiste. If you like a character with variety, Rocket Raccoon can get the job done in most instances.
