Mastering Marvel Rivals: January 2025's Top and Bottom Performers
Success in Marvel Rivals hinges on both skillful play and strategic character selection. Understanding which characters boast the highest and lowest win rates is crucial for optimizing your team composition and maximizing your chances of victory. This analysis, based on January 2025 data, reveals the best and worst-performing characters.
Underperforming Characters: January 2025
The following table highlights Marvel Rivals characters with the lowest win rates in January 2025. While many on this list suffer from low pick rates, making high win percentages challenging, some stand out: Jeff the Land Shark, Cloak & Dagger, and Venom. The former two, despite being healers, lack the unique abilities of other Strategists like Mantis and Luna Snow. Jeff, in particular, faces a potential win rate 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 struggles to deliver the finishing blow. Fortunately, a Season 1 buff will enhance his Ultimate Attack's base damage.
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% |
