This guide will help you choose the right heroes to start your Marvel Rivals journey. We will break down the best options for newbies based upon ability, playstyle and overall ease of use. Build your Marvel legends: Get ready to build your dream team!

Iron Man

Iron Man is arguably Marvel’s golden boy – and a great place to start for new players too. This billionaire genius can take to the battlefield and blast people with his awesome weapons. It requires some getting accustomed to, but the moment you do, you will be destroying things left and right. You can really annoy your opponents with his attacks, such as the Unibeam, which last a long time. Plus, his ultimate is shite – with one hit you can dispatch a gaggle of enemies at once.

Peni Parker

Another good option for beginners is Peni Parker. Like the antithesis of Venom – instead of punching everything, she sets traps. She can make the battlefield a nightmare for enemies with her webs and mines. Don’t think she’s just a defensive character though, she can fight. And when she unleashes her ultimate, it’s like a spider web of destruction!

Venom

Venom is basically a walking, talking tank! They say he is tough to play but he is really a pretty great way to learn how to tank in this game. Hits and damage can be dealt simultaneously by Venom. Shocking part is, the more he is hurt the stronger he gets! He’s also super fast for a big guy. And he can channel his powers into Spider-Man and Peni Parker, oh, and make them even stronger. Venom is your guy if you want a fearless frontline fighter!

Spider-Man

Spider-Man is sort of the Flash of Marvel Rivals. He’s a swinging, super high jumper who can stick to walls like a pro. This makes him very hard to catch! He usually takes the bait – surprise enemies, hit them hard and then disappear before they realize what hit them. You will require some practice to get his moves correct, but the moment you do, you are able to truly dishonor the opposition team.

Magik

I know a lot of people are saying Magik is not the best new player pick in Marvel Rivals but man is she awesome! This might be biased a little, but you ought to give her a go. She is a total force to be reckoned with and becomes stronger with every fight. 

And her moves are pretty neat too! She can teleport, summon demons and also shoot enemies into the air. Her ultimate power is that she transforms into this demon-like creature and destroys everything. Not the fastest on her legs, but her damage and overall awesomeness compensate for that.

Punisher

So no surprise here, the Punisher is essentially a cheat code for new players. But they made you play as him for a reason! Like a classic shooter hero without the hero part, actually. You’ve got two guns to choose from and a super powerful ultimate to keep enemies away. And did I mention he has his own little robot gun buddy? It’s awesome. The trick to Punisher is to stay away and pounce on enemies one by one. Stay away from the action, shoot!

Conclusion

There you have it! Here are some great Marvel Rivals starter heroes. Recall that while these characters are excellent starting characters, ultimately you want the hero you have the most fun with. Experiment, try different characters, and discover your own personal favorites. You’ll be sweeping the battlefield in no time with a bit of practice and experimentation!
