All Characters in Marvel Rivals: Full Roster by Role

Marvel Rivals, NetEase Games' new team-based Pvp shooter, is on track to be a high-energy mix of Overwatch-style gameplay and Marvel's legendary universe. Featuring a full cast of fan-favourite heroes and villains from throughout the multiverse, each character has a specific combat role, unleashing their powers and personalities into frenetic 6v6 battles

The game features three core roles: Vanguards (tanks)-  strong frontliners who absorb damage and disrupt enemies, Duelists (damage dealers)- agile attackers who focus on eliminations and area control, and Strategists (support)- versatile heroes who heal, shield, or control the flow of battle.
