In Marvel Rivals, victory hinges on both skillful play and strategic character selection. Understanding character win rates is key to team success. This January 2025 data reveals the top and bottom performers.
Underperforming Marvel Rivals Characters:
Win rate data helps identify meta-dominating heroes and villains, preventing players from hindering their team's performance. Here are the Marvel Rivals characters with the lowest win rates as of January 2025:
| **Character** | **Pick Rate** | **Win Rate** |
| Black Widow | 1.21% | 41.07% |
| Jeff the Land Shark | 13.86% | 44.38% |
| Squirrel Girl | 2.93% | 44.78% |
| Moon Knight | 9.53% | 46.35% |
| The Punisher | 8.68% | 46.48% |
| Cloak & Dagger | 20.58% | 46.68% |
| Scarlet Witch | 6.25% | 46.97% |
| Venom | 14.65% | 47.56% |
| Winter Soldier | 6.49% | 47.97% |
| Wolverine | 1.95% | 48.04% |
Many on this list suffer from low pick rates, impacting win percentages. However, Jeff the Land Shark, Cloak & Dagger, and Venom stand out. The first two, while healers, lack the unique abilities of other Strategists. Jeff's Ultimate Attack nerf in Season 2 may further reduce his win rate. Venom, the sole tank on the list, excels at damage absorption but often struggles to deliver finishing blows. Fortunately, a Season 1 buff will boost his Ultimate Attack's base damage.
Top-Performing Marvel Rivals Characters:
Choosing a main character? Consider these top performers:
| **Character** | **Pick Rate** | **Win Rate** |
| Mantis | 19.77% | 55.20% |
| Hela | 12.86% | 54.24% |
| Loki | 8.19% | 53.79% |
| Magik | 4.02% | 53.63% |
| Adam Warlock | 7.45% | 53.59% |
| Rocket Raccoon | 9.51% | 53.20% |
| Peni Parker | 18% | 53.05% |
| Thor | 12.52% | 52.65% |
| Black Panther | 3.48% | 52.60% |
| Hulk | 6.74% | 51.79% |
Familiar faces like Peni Parker and Mantis dominate. However, characters with lower pick rates, such as Magik and Black Panther, also demonstrate high win rates, highlighting their potential impact.
While this data provides valuable insight, it shouldn't dictate team composition entirely. However, familiarity with at least one high-win-rate character is recommended.
Marvel Rivals is available on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.
