How To Get Assists in Marvel Rivals & Best Characters To Use

Mastering Assists in Marvel Rivals: A Guide to Support and Strategic Play

Many Marvel Rivals players focus on securing kills, but the game also rewards assists. This guide explains how to earn assists and highlights the best characters to utilize for this strategy. Unlike some games, damage dealt doesn't contribute to assists in Marvel Rivals.

Understanding Assists in Marvel Rivals

The in-game stats screen displays kills, deaths, and assists. Assists are less frequent because they're earned specifically through support actions. Simply damaging an opponent doesn't count. To gain assists, you must aid teammates by:

• Healing: Restoring your allies' health.
• Shielding: Protecting allies from damage.
• Crowd Control: Immobilizing or incapacitating enemies, setting them up for your teammates to finish off.

This makes healers and tanks ideal for racking up assists. If you primarily play damage-dealing characters, consider switching to a support role for challenges requiring assists.

Top Characters for Assists in Marvel Rivals

Several characters excel at generating assists:

• Jeff the Land Shark: His healing abilities provide ample opportunities for teammate assists.

• Mantis: An exceptional support character, Mantis heals allies and uses crowd control (Spore Slumber) to create easy targets.

• Peni Parker: A strong tank, Peni Parker's Cyber-Web Snare immobilizes enemies, making them vulnerable to attacks from damage dealers.

• Doctor Strange: His powerful shield keeps allies alive, allowing them to secure kills while he earns assists.

• Storm: As a Duelist, Storm's Weather Control enhances teammate damage and speed, indirectly leading to more kills and assists for you.

This guide outlines how to obtain assists and identifies the most effective characters for this strategy in Marvel Rivals. Good luck achieving your in-game goals!
