Marvel Rivals Starter Hero Guide - Best Heroes for Beginners

Marvel Rivals comes with an impressive lineup of over 33 Heroes to choose from and NetEase has also made them completely free. This means that you can install the game and jump into any one of the 33 heroes in the game without spending a single dime. This opens a large roster of Heroes that you can select right from the start of the game, but certain characters will require mastery and deep understanding of the game before you can get better with them. If you are just starting the game, it will make more sense to go for a character that is easy to play with so you can get up to speed with maps, in-game mechanics, and more and also kill some enemies. This Marvel Rivals Starter Hero Guide lists 5 starter heroes that are best for players who are just starting to play the game.

Starter Hero Guide – Marvel Rivals

Read below to find our top five Heroes who are best for new players of Marvel Rivals with tips on what makes them best for new players and how you can use them to get better at the game.

Rocket Raccoon

Rocket Raccoon is the best Hero to choose for players who want to become a Strategist in the game. While Rocket has lower health as compared to other Heroes, he is best for starters because he comes with a straightforward arsenal of weapons and simple abilities. He can heal himself, revive teammates, provide a shield, and also an impressive escape strategy. If you stay close to your teammates who can cover your back, the lower health of Rocket will not pose much of a problem for you either.

Jeff the Land Shark

Another great Strategist for beginners, Jeff the Land Shark comes with a simple healing ability and a great damage stat. Its ultimate ability allows you to swallow everyone on the battlefield so while it may look cute, it is a very powerful starter hero. Jeff the Land Shark suffers when it comes to 1v1 fights, so your best bet is to stick to your teammates and support them with ranged fire and great area control.

The Punisher

The Punisher is one of the best Duelist Heroes for starter players. If you are good with shooters, you will love playing with The Punisher because his arsenal consists of guns, grenades, turrets, and a grappling hook for movement. You can use his Assault Rifle and Shotgun to damage enemies at two different ranges and deploy his turret to control areas with a heavy rate of fire. If you are just starting the game and want to go for a Hero that is simple and looks familiar to any past shooters like Call of Duty, The Punisher is your Hero.

Scarlet Witch

Scarlet Witch is another great Starter Duelist, who makes it easier for you to attack enemies. Her primary attack is a powerful energy beam that can automatically lock on enemies. This also fills her meter which can be used to perform abilities such as the one which allows her to create damage zones where enemy players can get stunned. Similar to comics and movies, her ultimate is a powerful energy burst that damages enemies in a large radius. Similar to Rocket, her health is not much so you are better off sticking to your teammates while playing with her.

Venom

We are concluding our list with Venom, who is one of the best Vanguard Heroes in the game. Venom excels in different ways which makes him an excellent Hero for starters. He is one of the best melee Hero in the game and he can quickly charge in and escape easily. His tendrils can attack multiple enemies at a close range, and he can ensure that he can stay in combat for a longer period of time with his healing ability and slowing down the enemies. His Ultimate also allows him to recover health based on the amount of damage he deals to multiple enemies with an AoE attack. If you want to start with the Vanguard role, Venom is a great Hero.
