Understanding character win rates is crucial for success in Marvel Rivals. This January 2025 data reveals the top and bottom performers, influencing meta strategies and team composition.
Underperforming Characters in Marvel Rivals
Analyzing win rates helps identify underperforming heroes and villains. Knowing which characters struggle can prevent hindering your team's performance. This data also provides a counterpoint for players resistant to changing their character choices.
The following Marvel Rivals characters exhibited the lowest win rates in 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 characters on this list suffer from low pick rates, impacting their win rate statistics. 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 upcoming nerf to his Ultimate Attack may further reduce his win rate. Venom, the sole tank on the list, excels at absorbing damage but often lacks the offensive power to secure victories. A Season 1 buff to his Ultimate Attack damage aims to address this.
Top-Performing Characters in Marvel Rivals
Choosing a main character can be challenging. Knowing the highest win rates can guide your decision. These characters consistently achieve high win rates in Marvel Rivals:
| 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 favorites like Peni Parker and Mantis top the list. However, characters with lower pick rates, such as Magik and Black Panther, also demonstrate high win rates, highlighting their potential impact when mastered.
While this data provides valuable insight, it shouldn't solely dictate character selection. However, understanding these win rates offers a strategic advantage, especially when facing skilled opponents. Familiarity with at least one high-win-rate character is recommended.
Marvel Rivals is available now on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.
