Marvel Rivals Tier List — Season 2.5 (Ultron Release)

Updated: May 28, 2025

Most common bans: Groot, Hawkeye, Hulk, Luna Snow

New strategist Ultron feels a little undertuned, as well as being designed to be more off a hybrid dps-support (much like Mister Fantastic is hybrid tank-dps). Don't expect big healing out of an Ultron but instead they should be played aggressively and focusing primarily on smart damage, similar to Adam Warlock. We predict poor performance from Ultrons early in the season until the playerbase understands his playstyle better, much like Wolverine on release.

While a flyer meta might seem likely, there are a lot of characters who can very easily handle flying characters, such as Hawkeye, Cloak & Dagger, Luna Snow, and Hela. Expect Luna in particular to be very strong in season 2.5, potentially becoming a ban target at higher ranks.

Groot is likely to persist being a common ban target as his ability to block pathways and, most importantly, line of sight for healing continues to be difficult to deal with.

New team-ups are interesting, with the removal of Ammo Overload hurting Punisher quite a bit. Rocket's new ability to give Peni Parker a second nest, as well as letting his BRB device generate webs, means that this pairing will be a common sight. Players who favor brawl-heavy characters like Captain America or Thor should push for one of these two to be banned, as melee teams will struggle against the larger spiderweb coverage.
