Mastering Marvel Rivals: January 2025's Top and Bottom Performers
Success in Marvel Rivals hinges on both skillful play and strategic character selection. Understanding which characters boast the highest and lowest win rates is crucial for victory. This analysis reveals the best and worst performing characters in January 2025.
Underperforming Characters: January 2025
Win rate data in hero shooters like Marvel Rivals highlights meta-dominating heroes and villains. Knowing which characters consistently underperform helps players avoid hindering their team's success. The following Marvel Rivals characters exhibited 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 characters on this list suffer from low pick rates, impacting their win rate statistics. However, Jeff the Land Shark, Cloak & Dagger, and Venom stand out. While Jeff and Cloak & Dagger are healers, they lack the unique abilities of other Strategists like Mantis and Luna Snow. Jeff's Ultimate Attack nerf in Season 2 may further decrease his win rate. Venom, the sole tank on this list, excels at absorbing damage but often struggles to secure kills. Fortunately, a Season 1 buff will boost his Ultimate Attack's base damage.
Top-Performing Characters: January 2025
Choosing a main character? Consider these top performers:
**Character** | **Pick Rate** | **Win Rate** |
Mantis | 19.77% | 55.20% |

Loki | 8.19% | 53.79% |
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% |
While fan favorites like Peni Parker and Mantis remain strong, characters with lower pick rates, such as Magik and Black Panther, demonstrate surprisingly high win rates, highlighting their potential for impactful gameplay. Mastering their abilities can significantly impact the game's outcome.
While this data provides valuable insights, it shouldn't limit your character choices. However, familiarizing yourself with at least one high-win-rate character offers a strategic advantage.
