Marvel Rivals currently boasts seven support units focused on healing and buffing. While Jeff is familiar to many, he's not the only strategic option. Here's the ranking:

Rank	Hero
S	Mantis and Luna Snow
A	Adam Warlock and Cloak & Dagger
B	Jeff the Land Shark, Loki, and Rocket Raccoon

S Tier

Mantis excels as a support unit, healing allies and boosting damage by consuming orbs (which regenerate automatically; headshots instantly restore one). While effective for both beginners and experienced players, her fragility demands careful play. Her damage output is limited.

Luna Snow, another top-tier strategist, offers healing and damage capabilities. Her Ice Art enhances both, and her Ultimate, Fate of Both Worlds, provides AoE healing or damage. Her ease of use and focus on positioning make her ideal for newcomers, though her primary role remains support.

A Tier

Adam Warlock's ability to revive multiple fallen allies with his Quantum Zone Ultimate (granting temporary invincibility) sets him apart. His Avatar Life Stream heals, and Soul Bond shares damage and provides a heal-over-time effect across allies.

Cloak & Dagger presents another strong strategic choice. Cloak's attacks heal or damage, and she boasts self-healing. Dagger focuses on damage and applying Vulnerability debuffs. Dark Teleportation enhances ally movement speed and provides invisibility.

B Tier

Jeff the Land Shark, despite popularity, isn't the strongest support. His healing pales in comparison to higher-tier options, especially in extended battles. His simplicity contrasts with the more nuanced kits of Mantis and Warlock. He's a decent entry-level support.

Loki's effectiveness hinges on player skill and strategy. He heals and summons decoys that mimic his actions, but precise decoy placement is vital. His Ultimate allows him to shapeshift into any hero for 15 seconds.

Rocket Raccoon offers utility and damage rather than pure healing. Like Warlock, he can revive allies using his Respawn Machine, but his damage output leans towards DPS. His performance relies heavily on player skill, and his small size makes him a vulnerable target.

This guide summarizes the best support units in Marvel Rivals. While helpful, your ultimate character choice should prioritize enjoyment.

Marvel Rivals is now available on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.
