Marvel Rivals Tier List
A Marvel Rivals tier list ranks the hero shooter's roster of Vanguards, Duelists, and Strategists from S to C tier by win rate and team-fight impact in the current competitive meta. Sites like Counterwatch, Insider Gaming, and LFCarry rebuild the rankings whenever developer NetEase Games patches hero balance.
NetEase's Season 9: The Mystery of Thebes launched July 10, 2026, adding Strategist Jubilee, reworking Black Widow's kit, and overhauling every hero's Team-Up ability. A July 11 emergency hotfix followed after the overhaul broke early-game balance, and guide sites like Insider Gaming and LFCarry raced to republish S-tier rankings within days.
LFCarry's July 16, 2026 rankings, drawn from Counterwatch match data, place Vanguard Peni Parker at a 56.2% all-ranks win rate, Duelist Magik at 55.3%, and Strategists Rocket Raccoon and Ultron near 54%, naming them the season's most reliable ranked-ladder picks.
Think of it as a fantasy-football power rankings sheet that Marvel Rivals developer NetEase quietly redraws with every seasonal patch.
