Best Marvel Rivals Characters Ranked – Top Picks for Your Team
Marvel Rivals: The Most Overpowered Characters Driving Players Crazy
NetEase’s Marvel Rivals boasts an impressive hero shooter roster, but certain characters are already causing chaos. With 33 heroes and villains available at launch, some picks stand out as overpowered nightmares—frustrating the game’s massive player base.
After hundreds of matches, I’ve pinpointed the most broken characters driving players absolutely crazy. From sneaky assassins to ultimate trolls, here are the heroes dominating Marvel Rivals.
Moon Knight – The Sneaky Assassin
Marc Spector, aka Moon Knight, may lack comic book power, but in Rivals, he’s unstoppable. His Crescent Darts and Moon Blades bounce between enemies, creating angles that opponents can’t predict. Combined with his hookshot and double jump, he effortlessly scales buildings, ambushing players before they can react.
His ultimate, Hand of Khonshu, adds to the frustration. Smart players place it behind enemy teams, exploiting their instinct to backpedal—straight into devastation. Master Moon Knight’s positioning, and he can wipe out squads with minimal effort.
Star-Lord – The Hit-and-Run Specialist
Peter Quill, the Legendary Star-Lord, plays like Overwatch’s Tracer: fast, relentless, and impossible to pin down. His Element Guns deliver rapid damage, while Stellar Shift reloads his weapons and grants brief invincibility—making him hard to kill.
Star-Lord’s ultimate, Galactic Legend, takes him to another level. Free flight, auto-aim, and relentless firepower make him almost impossible to counter. Squishy? Yes—but with perfect cooldown management, Star-Lord feels invincible.
Scarlet Witch – The Relentless Duelist
Wanda Maximoff thrives as a high-damage, untouchable menace. Her magic lock-on drains health effortlessly, while Chthonian Burst missiles provide frequent bursts of damage. Add Mystic Projection for invulnerability and free flight, and Wanda weaves through fights untouched.
Her ultimate, Reality Erasure, deletes enemies instantly in range—charging slowly but delivering devastating results. Scarlet Witch dominates fights from any range, leaving opponents frustrated and powerless.
Hela – The Asgardian Sniper
Hela doesn’t need a sniper rifle to outplay marksmen. Her Nightsword Thorn fires precise, high-damage projectiles that can eliminate enemies from afar. Combined with Piercing Night, she can one-shot squishy heroes.
Her ultimate, Goddess of Death, solidifies her as a top-tier pick. She soars above the battlefield, gains a health boost, and rains destruction below. Shooting her down? Not worth the effort. In high-level play, Hela dominates objectives and competitive bans alike.
Jeff the Land Shark – The Ultimate Troll
Jeff the Land Shark surprises players with his trollish design. Despite being a healer, Jeff’s critical hit resistance and solid front-line damage make him a nightmare to deal with.
His ultimate, It’s Jeff!, is pure chaos. Jeff becomes invincible, swallows players (or allies), and spits them into bottomless pits. Worse still, Jeff mains often jump off cliffs, taking enemies along for humiliating deaths. Counters exist, but nothing stings more than being yeeted into oblivion by a baby shark.
Lin Lie – The Unstoppable Iron Fist
Lin Lie, the Immortal Iron Fist, is hands-down Marvel Rivals’ most broken character. His rapid punches deal massive damage while healing him, shredding through healers and DPS alike. With four air jumps and a spin kick dash, he essentially gains flight, chasing down mobile heroes with ease.
His Dragon’s Defense parry takes things over the top. It counters anything: Jeff’s ultimate, Wanda’s Reality Erasure, or even high-damage nukes—just by flexing at the right moment. Against a skilled Iron Fist, matches quickly become a nightmare.
NetEase, please—nerf this man before all my healers quit.
Final Thoughts
From Moon Knight’s sneaky attacks to Jeff’s trolling antics, Marvel Rivals has no shortage of overpowered heroes. Balance patches may shift the meta in the future, but for now, these characters are dominating matches and driving players up the wall.
Whether you main them, despise them, or meme them, one thing’s clear: Marvel Rivals thrives on chaos, and we’re loving every minute of it.
