"Top Characters for Assists in Marvel Rivals"

In the world of hero shooters, players often chase the thrill of personal glory. However, *Marvel Rivals* introduces a unique twist with challenges that encourage teamwork through assists. If you're struggling to secure assists in *Marvel Rivals*, here's a comprehensive guide on how to do it and which characters are best suited for the task.

How To Get Assists in Marvel Rivals

During a match of *Marvel Rivals*, the stats screen displays three key sections: kills, deaths, and assists. Assists are less common than kills due to the specific way *Marvel Rivals* tracks them. Simply damaging an enemy won't count as an assist; instead, you must support your teammates in other ways.

To earn assists, focus on providing support through healing, shielding, or capturing enemies to set up your allies for the final blow. This means that healers and tanks are naturally better at accumulating assists. If you're typically a damage-focused player, you might need to switch your strategy for a few matches to meet these challenges.

Best Characters To Use To Get Assists in Marvel Rivals

Jeff the Land Shark

Although Jeff the Land Shark may not be the top Strategist in *Marvel Rivals*, his abilities like bubbles and streams offer versatile healing options. The more teammates you heal, the more chances they have to secure kills, thereby increasing your assist count.

Mantis

Mantis stands out as the premier support character for earning assists. Her ability to heal allies and use Spore Slumber to incapacitate enemies creates perfect opportunities for your team to finish off opponents. The challenge is often in selecting her quickly at the start of a match.

Peni Parker

For those who prefer tanks over healers, Peni Parker is an excellent choice. Her Cyber-Web Snare ability immobilizes enemies, making them easy targets for your damage-focused teammates, thus boosting your assist numbers.

Doctor Strange

Another strong tank option is Doctor Strange. His shield, which you've likely encountered before, can be a game-changer. Use it to protect your allies, allowing them to focus on dealing damage and securing kills while you rack up assists.

Storm

If you're looking for a Duelist to help with assists, Storm is your best bet. Her Weather Control ability enhances your teammates' damage and speed, enabling them to take down enemies more efficiently while you accumulate assists from the sidelines.

By following these strategies and choosing the right characters, you'll be well on your way to mastering the art of getting assists in *Marvel Rivals*. For more on the game, check out all the Chronoverse Saga Achievements in *Marvel Rivals* Season 1 and how to achieve them.
