In *Marvel Rivals*, the roster of iconic characters offers players a diverse selection, including not just the flashy DPS units but also crucial support and strategist roles that are vital for team survival and success. Whether you're looking to heal, buff, or strategize, the game's support characters play an essential role in turning the tide of battle.
*Marvel Rivals* boasts seven support units, each with unique abilities focused on healing or enhancing their teammates. While Jeff the Land Shark may be a fan favorite, he's not the only strategist worth considering. Here's a breakdown of the current rankings:
| Rank | Hero |
|---|---|
| S | Mantis and Luna Snow |
| A | Adam Warlock and Cloak & Dagger |
| B | Jeff the Land Shark, Loki, and Rocket Raccoon |

Luna Snow also earns her place in the S-tier with her versatile abilities. Her primary attack can heal allies or damage enemies, and her Ice Art ability enhances both her healing and damage output. Her Ultimate, Fate of Both Worlds, creates an area of effect that either heals allies or damages foes, making her a strategic choice for players who understand positioning and timing. While Luna can deal damage, her main focus is on supporting and healing her team, which can be a limitation in certain scenarios.

Cloak & Dagger offer a unique dynamic in Marvel Rivals. Cloak's attack can heal allies or damage enemies, and she has self-sustainability through healing over time. Dagger, on the other hand, focuses on dealing damage and debuffing enemies with Vulnerability. His Dark Teleportation ability boosts the movement speed of nearby allies and grants them invisibility, adding a strategic layer to their gameplay.

Loki, another B-tier support, offers complex gameplay that depends heavily on player skill. He can heal allies and summon decoys that mimic his actions, requiring careful positioning to maximize effectiveness. His Ultimate allows him to shapeshift into any hero for 15 seconds, using their abilities, which adds a layer of strategy and unpredictability.
Rocket Raccoon, unlike other supports, leans more towards utility and damage. His Respawn Machine can revive fallen allies, but his focus is on dealing damage, making him a hybrid DPS. His effectiveness relies on the player's ability to navigate his kit, and his small size makes him a frequent target, necessitating constant movement.
Ultimately, choosing the right support character in *Marvel Rivals* should be based on your playstyle and enjoyment. Each hero brings something unique to the table, and mastering them can significantly enhance your team's performance.
