In Marvel Rivals, victory hinges on both skillful play and strategic character selection. To help players optimize their team compositions, we've compiled the best and worst character win rates as of January 2025.
Underperforming Characters in Marvel Rivals
Understanding character win rates provides insight into the game's meta. This data can help players avoid hindering their team's success.
Below are the Marvel Rivals characters with 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 percentages. However, Jeff the Land Shark, Cloak & Dagger, and Venom stand out. The first two, while healers, lack the unique abilities of other Strategists like Mantis and Luna Snow. Jeff's win rate may further decrease in Season 2 due to an upcoming nerf to his Ultimate Attack. Venom, the sole tank on the list, excels at absorbing damage but often lacks the offensive power to secure victories. Fortunately, a Season 1 buff will enhance his Ultimate Attack's base damage.
Top-Performing Characters in Marvel Rivals
For players seeking a winning advantage, the following characters boast the highest win rates:
| **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% |
This list includes popular choices like Peni Parker and Mantis, but also highlights less frequently picked characters like Magik and Black Panther, who can be highly effective in skilled hands.
While this data is a valuable indicator of character strength, it shouldn't limit your character choices. However, familiarity with at least one high-win-rate character is recommended.
Marvel Rivals is available now on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.
