Marvel Rivals tier list, Season 10.5
Last updated
This tier list is not an opinion poll. Every hero is placed by Counterwatch's win rate across all ranks, read on October 29, 2026, about three weeks after the Season 10.5 balance patch. Peni Parker (58.2%), Ultron (57.4%) and Storm (56.4%) lead their roles.
How this list is built
The tiers (S through F) and win rates come straight from Counterwatch. Their win rates are "shrunk" toward 50%, which keeps heroes with few matches from landing at the extremes. Deadpool appears three times because he has a separate kit for each role, so the list has 56 entries for 54 heroes.
A win rate across all ranks tells you which heroes are winning games right now. It doesn't tell you who is best in your lobby. A hero like Punisher can sit in F and still be the worst matchup for a specific tank, which is what our counter picker is for.

Peni Parker is four points clear of every other tank. Season 10 sped up her Cyber-Web Cluster and removed its self-slow, and nothing since has pulled her back. Devil Dinosaur is the other S-tier tank, even after losing 25 health in Season 10.5. If you are facing either, start with the Peni Parker counters or Devil Dinosaur counters.
Magneto (48.9%) and The Thing (48.4%) took health nerfs in Season 10 and show it.

Storm, Gorr, Magik and Mister Fantastic make up S tier. Gorr launched with Season 10 and was trimmed in 10.5 (shorter ult, lower scythe damage); he is still at 55.0%. The bottom of the list is crowded with slower, long-range picks: Black Widow, Cyclops, Punisher and Squirrel Girl are all under 47%.

Ultron, Mantis and Rocket Raccoon are the S-tier supports. Ultron is the best duo partner in the game by Counterwatch's numbers: Peni Parker with Ultron wins 67.5% of tracked games. Every Strategist lost some ult charge in Season 10, when healing-to-energy conversion dropped from 70% to 65%.
