Unlock the Secrets to Dominating Marvel Rivals: Master Assist Strategies and Character Selection

Mastering Assists in Marvel Rivals: A Guide to Support and Strategy

Many Marvel Rivals players focus on securing kills, but the game's assist challenges require a different approach. This guide explains how to earn assists and highlights the best characters for the task.

Understanding Assists in Marvel Rivals

The stats screen in Marvel Rivals shows kills, deaths, and assists. Unlike many games, dealing damage doesn't contribute to assists. Assists are earned solely by supporting teammates: healing, shielding, or incapacitating enemies to enable an ally's finishing blow.

This makes healers and tanks ideal for racking up assists. If you're a damage-focused player, you'll need a strategic shift to complete assist-based challenges.

Top Characters for Assists in Marvel Rivals

Several characters excel at generating assists:

• Jeff the Land Shark: While not the strongest strategist, Jeff's healing abilities provide ample opportunities for teammate assists.

• Mantis: The premier support character. Her healing and enemy-stalling "Spore Slumber" create perfect assist setups. The challenge is securing her early in matches.

• Peni Parker: A strong tank option. Her "Cyber-Web Snare" immobilizes enemies, making them easy targets for damage dealers.

• Doctor Strange: Another excellent tank. His powerful shield keeps allies alive, allowing them to secure kills while you earn assists.

• Storm: The top Duelist for assists. "Weather Control" boosts ally damage and speed, leading to quick enemy eliminations and high assist counts.
