Strategist

Support / peel

The best first role. You heal the Vanguard taking space, you save a cooldown for the dive, and you stand behind cover that still exists.

Job: Keep the tank alive, then the person making spaceUlt: The fight-win button — do not panic-dump it on chip

Kit: Luna Snow, Cloak & Dagger, Mantis, Rocket, Loki, Jeff, Invisible Woman, Adam Warlock

Marvel Rivals Strategist healing a fight

Strengths

  • Teaches the objective because you lose instantly if you chase
  • Defensive ults win more games than a 40-elim Duelist
  • Almost every lobby is starving for a second Strategist

Weaknesses

  • Standing in the open after a wall breaks
  • Healing the Duelist in their spawn while the tank dies on cart

Starter tips

  1. 1

    Start Luna, Cloak & Dagger, or Rocket. Save Jeff / Loki until you can survive a dive.

  2. 2

    Ally health bars on. If you cannot see the tank, you cannot do the job.

  3. 3

    Save one peel for the dive that happens after the first poke — not every CD on the first chip.

  4. 4

    Play the cart / point. Heals that happen 40 meters off the objective do not cap.
