Mastering Marvel Rivals: January 2025's Best and Worst Performing Characters
Success in Marvel Rivals, like any hero shooter, hinges on both skillful play and strategic character selection. Understanding character win rates provides a significant advantage. This data, current as of January 2025, reveals the top and bottom performers, helping you optimize your team composition and individual performance.
Underperforming Characters: January 2025
Win rate data in hero shooters highlights the meta's dominant forces. Knowing which characters struggle can prevent you from hindering your team's success. Below are the Marvel Rivals characters with the lowest win rates in January 2025:
**Character** | **Pick Rate** | **Win Rate** |
Black Widow | 1.21% | 41.07% |
Jeff the Land Shark | 13.86% | 44.38% |
Squirrel Girl | 2.93% | 44.78% |
Moon Knight | 9.53% | 46.35% |
The Punisher | 8.68% | 46.48% |
Cloak & Dagger | 20.58% | 46.68% |
Scarlet Witch | 6.25% | 46.97% |
Venom | 14.65% | 47.56% |
Winter Soldier | 6.49% | 47.97% |
Wolverine | 1.95% | 48.04% |
Many on this list suffer from low pick rates, making high win percentages challenging. However, Jeff the Land Shark, Cloak & Dagger, and Venom stand out. Jeff and Cloak & Dagger, both healers, lack the unique strengths of other Strategists like Mantis and Luna Snow. Jeff's Ultimate Attack nerf in Season 2 may further impact his win rate. Venom, the sole tank on this list, excels at absorbing damage but often struggles to deliver the finishing blow. Fortunately, a Season 1 buff will increase his Ultimate Attack's base damage.
Top-Tier Characters: January 2025
Choosing a main character? Focusing on high win rate characters can significantly improve your chances of victory. Here are the Marvel Rivals characters boasting the highest win rates in January 2025:
**Character** | **Pick Rate** | **Win Rate** |
Mantis | 19.77% | 55.20% |
Hela | 12.86% | 54.24% |

Magik | 4.02% | 53.63% |
Adam Warlock | 7.45% | 53.59% |
Rocket Raccoon | 9.51% | 53.20% |
Peni Parker | 18% | 53.05% |
Thor | 12.52% | 52.65% |
Black Panther | 3.48% | 52.60% |
Hulk | 6.74% | 51.79% |
This list features familiar favorites like Peni Parker and Mantis. However, the lower pick rates of Magik and Black Panther are noteworthy. Experienced players know these damage dealers can be incredibly effective.
While this data shouldn't dictate your character choices exclusively, it provides valuable insight into the game's meta. Familiarity with at least one high-win-rate character can be a significant asset.
