In Marvel Rivals, character selection is just as crucial as skill. To help players build winning teams, here's a breakdown of the best and worst performing characters in January 2025, based on win rates.

Scarlet Witch6.25%46.97%
Venom14.65%47.56%
Winter Soldier6.49%47.97%
Wolverine1.95%48.04%

Many on this list have low pick rates, impacting their win percentages. However, Jeff the Land Shark, Cloak & Dagger, and Venom stand out. The first two, while healers, lack the unique abilities of other Strategists. Jeff's Ultimate Attack nerf in Season 2 may further lower his win rate. Venom, the only tank on the list, excels at absorbing damage but often struggles to deliver the final blow. Fortunately, a Season 1 buff will boost his Ultimate Attack's base damage.
