Which Strategists are the best in Marvel Rivals?
Top Healer
Cloak and Dagger are, in my opinion, the strongest Strategist choice in Marvel Rivals. Whilst being my main hero when playing Strategist, I’ve got a good amount of experience using them in matches! I can say from my own time playing the game, that Cloak and Dagger excel in both supporting teammates and healing them.
Cloak
The support comes in the form of switching to Cloak, who with his abilities, can turn nearby allies invisible and increase their speed using Dark Teleportation. During this time, enemies cannot see or attack them. His Terror Cape ability blinds enemies struck by it, damages them, and inflicts them with Vulnerability, which increases the damage they take for a short while.
Dagger
The healing is where Dagger comes in! While she can also deal damage with her Lightforce Daggers, by targeting them towards allies, she heals instead. Veil of Lightforce is an ability that shoots forward, healing all allies it touches and boosting their Healing for a short duration.
My favourite part of Dagger’s kit is her Dagger Storm ability. It deploys an AoE bubble that heals all allies that stand inside. It’s a great way to provide healing for allies further away while you deal with another task.
Ultimate Ability
The Eternal Bond Ultimate ability is the best of both worlds. By aiming your camera towards your targets, you can heal allies and damage enemies at the same time. You have 4 dashes in total, so make them count. Plus, the pathway you leave behind even after Eternal Bond has ended deals damage over time.
Runner-up
With her Smooth Skate movement speed and high jumps, it’s easy to traverse across the map, reaching allies who need help. Her ice can heal teammates or damage enemies, and with Share the Stage, she can attach an Idol Aura to a chosen ally. This Aura replenishes the HP of the selected teammate even when healing a different ally.
Her Absolute Zero ability can freeze an enemy in place whilst restoring her own HP, which is pretty cool! Whenever she casts Absolute Zero or Ice Arts, her HP replenishes, allowing her to stay on the battlefield for longer.
