In Marvel Rivals, character selection is as crucial as skill itself. To help players succeed, we've compiled the best and worst character win rates as of January 2025.
Underperforming Characters in Marvel Rivals
Understanding which heroes and villains dominate the meta is key to avoiding being a liability to your team. This data helps identify characters who consistently underperform.
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 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. Jeff's Ultimate Attack nerf in Season 2 may further decrease his win rate. Venom, the only tank on the list, excels at absorbing damage but often struggles to deliver finishing blows. Fortunately, a Season 1 buff will increase his Ultimate Attack's base damage.
Top-Performing Characters in Marvel Rivals
For those seeking a winning strategy, 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% |
While familiar faces like Peni Parker and Mantis top the list, characters with lower pick rates, such as Magik and Black Panther, also demonstrate high win rates, highlighting their potential impact when mastered.
This data doesn't dictate character choices, but it offers valuable insight into the game's meta. While personal preference matters, familiarity with high-win-rate characters provides a strategic advantage.
Marvel Rivals is available now on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.
