How To Get Assists in Marvel Rivals & Best Characters To Use

Mastering Assists in Marvel Rivals: A Guide to Support and Strategic Play

Many Marvel Rivals players focus solely on securing kills. However, the game's challenges often require racking up assists, a feat that can prove surprisingly tricky. This guide explains how to earn assists and highlights the best characters for the job.

Understanding Assists in Marvel Rivals

The stats screen in Marvel Rivals shows kills, deaths, and assists. Unlike many games, dealing damage doesn't contribute to assists. Assists are earned exclusively by supporting teammates through healing, shielding, or incapacitating enemies to allow allies to finish them off. This makes healers and tanks particularly well-suited for racking up assists.

Top Characters for Assist Accumulation

Here are some characters who excel at assisting teammates:

• Jeff the Land Shark: While not the strongest strategist, Jeff's healing abilities offer ample opportunities for assist generation. The more you heal allies, the more chances they have to secure kills.

• Mantis: Mantis is arguably the best support character for assists. Her healing and incapacitating "Spore Slumber" ability create ideal scenarios for teammate kills.

• Peni Parker: A strong tank option, Peni's "Cyber-Web Snare" immobilizes enemies, making them easy targets for damage-dealing allies.

• Doctor Strange: Doctor Strange's powerful shield keeps allies alive, allowing them to deal the finishing blows and boosting your assist count.

• Storm: As a Duelist, Storm's "Weather Control" enhances teammate damage and speed, making them more efficient at eliminating enemies.

By utilizing these characters and focusing on support actions, you can significantly increase your assist count and conquer those challenging objectives in Marvel Rivals. For more tips and tricks, check out our guide on Chronoverse Saga Achievements in Season 1.
