Marvel Rivals Tier List — Season 3 (Phoenix Release)

Updated: July 10, 2025

Most common bans: Groot, Hulk, Luna Snow, Peni Parker

Phoenix is feeling fairly balanced at launch, with most of her abilities being mobility focused rather than raw damage output. She has a decent level of mechanical and game awareness to maximize her Spark stacks and being able to consistently stun and damage enemies, but at an average gameplay level she'll be on par with most other duelists. Bans would be wasted on Phoenix.

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.
