Master Assist Tactics: Enhance Gameplay in Marvel Rivals

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

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 for achieving this. Understanding assist mechanics is key to completing certain challenges.

Understanding Assists in Marvel Rivals

The in-game stats screen displays kills, deaths, and assists. Unlike many games, dealing damage in Marvel Rivals doesn't contribute to assists. Assists are earned exclusively by supporting teammates through healing, shielding, or controlling enemies to enable an ally's finishing blow.

This mechanic favors support and tank characters. Damage-focused players may need to adjust their strategy to complete assist-based challenges.

Top Characters for Assists in Marvel Rivals

Several characters excel at racking up assists:

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

• Mantis: The ultimate support character. Mantis' healing and crowd control (Spore Slumber) create ideal conditions for allies to secure kills.

• 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 protective shield keeps allies alive, allowing them to deal the final blows.

• Storm: The top Duelist for assists. Storm's Weather Control enhances teammate damage and speed, leading to more efficient enemy takedowns.
