Marvel Rivals: 11 Best Ultimates Ranked

I agree that the game’s being called a glorified Overwatch re-skin, but Marvel Rivals has me addicted. I’ve been playing the game since its launch with my friends, and courtesy of the various Ultimates on offer, I have felt all-powerful and utterly dismantled, all in the same match.

Marvel Rivals’ ultimates are satisfying. You can turn the tide of battle with just one skill and set the team up for a glorious winning push. That’s how powerful Ultimate abilities are.

If you want to know the 11 Best Ultimates to secure multi-kills, you’re in the right place.

11 The Punisher

Track Them Down

If left unchecked, The Punisher will melt your entire team. Once you’ve placed your gun, you can track the enemies with your Gatling guns without any recoil, similar to how Strinova’s Audrey’s skill works.

With the iconic line of ‘Judge, Jury, Executioner,’ you can signal the beginning of seemingly endless hellfire, which usually nets you a handful of kills as you clear out a congested area.

Snipers can cut this one short, so be wary, but overall, this one is super easy to get right and super effective.

10 Star-Lord

The Sky Is Yours

You should always use his ultimate while flanking the other team. As long as you have enemies in your sight, the reticle will auto-lock onto them, and you can spam bullets.

It’s wild how fast Star-Lord can melt Duelists and Strategists in his ultimate, but beware that you’ll be an easy target to lock onto.

A lesson learned the hard way: I often used his ultimate without checking my flank and got demolished by their Jeff. So, always check for enemies who can take you down when you’re about to lock in.

Watch out for enemies before using ultimates that use the Hitscan

9 Spider-Man

Webs Go Pew Pew Pew!

If you’re a flanker who likes to aim for enemy Strategists, Spider-man will get the job done. Get out of enemies’ line of sight, sneak behind them, and catch them off-guard with your ultimate.

It’s rare to see Duelists and Strategists survive his ultimate since they’re not tanky enough. However, you risk diving into the enemy’s backline to target their support, which may or may not work in your favour.

Unless you’ve got a clear shot of enemies’ backline, back off, my friend; wait for the perfect moment, and get their Strategists.

8 Namor

Watch Out!

Some heroes are pretty agile in Marvel Rivals. Black Panther, Spider-Man, and Psylocke, to name a few.

With Namor’s ultimate, you can secure a team-wipe by immobilizing enemies in place and doing area-wide damage to the ones in its effective range. Meaning all those pesky mobile heroes won’t bug you anymore.

However, his creature-themed turrets are what really act as the cherry on top of the cake that is his full kit.

So, stay back with your Strategist, protect them, and when you see enemies rush to capture the point, call that big whale and watch them return to spawn.

7 Iron Man

Kaboom!

Let’s call it like it is. Tony Stark is a big ol’ nerd, but you don’t need to crunch numbers to use his ultimate.

Once you’ve got the perfect moment, all you need to do is launch Iron Man’s ultimate and watch squishy heroes go down for the count.

It’s best when you’re using his ultimate to focus on enemies in a tight spot sothey can’t avoid it, and because you’re Ironman, you’ll have a birdseye view, making these opportunities easy to spot.

With Iron Man, you don’t need to worry about being caught off-guard since you can evade most attacks with those powerful boosters. That’s what makes him so hard to track.

Go behind the enemy line, aim for strategists around the tanks, and take them out in one go. They’re about to find how powerful the Arc reactor is.

6 Moon Knight

Watch Out For Those Claws

Moon Knight’s ultimate is similar to Namor’s; however, his basic attack’s ricocheting ability makes it more valuable.

You can distract enemies with your ultimate and quickly melt a tank with your abilities. You can easily target the Strategists to cut off enemy tanks’ healing.

Another instance where you can benefit from his ultimate is to blast the Payload itself, not literally, but triggering your ultimate when nearby.

You’ll find players who use the Payload as a shield, and using Moon Knight’s ultimate on the Payload will take out Strategist and Duelist heroes.

I suggest using area-wide ultimates at places where enemies may gather in a few seconds.

5 Jeff The Land Shark

Nom Nom Nom

Using this cute-as-a-button superhero, you can gulp the entire enemy team and throw them off the map. Which, if I do say so myself, is very satisfying, not to mention hilarious.

I suggest using Jeff’s ultimate on Vanguards/Tanks, as they have a high HP pool and are hard to kill.

However, you can end up picking up your teammates if they’re caught in your ultimate, so don’t go throwing them off the map. There are different options for throwing allies and enemies; use them wisely.

I’ve queued with players in Ranked who’ve thrown their own teammates to death, which cost them matches. However, some heroes are agile enough to return to the arena, nullifying Jeff’s efforts.

So, the last resort to eliminating those heroes is to sacrifice Jeff himself and those captured.

You know what they say: Everything is fair in love, war, and point capture. You’ll be remembered, Jeff.

Give a callout to your teammates to clear the area before using Jeff’s ultimate

4 Psylocke

Fruit Ninja

I’m sorry. I love playing tanks (because no one chooses them), but even playing as a big brute, I’m leaving the area if I hear Psylocke’s ultimate trigger.

Her ultimate severely damages enemies caught in the zone, which makes her so scary, even if you have a spongy HP bar.

With such a large radius, you can easily cover the point and watch your enemies suffer.

It’s crazy how fast you can close the distance with her. Go invisible, breach the enemy team’s backline, and show the way of the Ninja. I might be so bold to say she’s the new and improved Genji.

3 Storm

There She Awaits

While Storm is hands-down the weakest character on the roster, which is why no one plays her, she does have a brilliant Ult.

The ultimate can be tricky to navigate, but it will get the job done. Sneak behind enemies’ cover and use the ultimate to wipe them off. It sounds simple, right?

However, there’s one caveat: the ultimate only lasts a few seconds and can prove counterproductive if spawned in the wrong spot.

So, gather intel before you use the ultimate to figure out where the enemies are and throw them and their HP bars into the air.

2 Scarlet Witch

Here We Go Again

If you’re in need of some brute force to clear a path, there are few better for the job than Scarlet Witch.

If you don’t have the Wandavision to track her down and kill her while she’s casting her ultimate, consider yourself dead. Anyone caught in the blast radius will be sent back to spawn.

That’s how powerful her ultimate is. “Pure Chaos” will be the last words you’ll hear before respawning. However, you must use it carefully because enemies can still kill you.

It’s an Ultimate that’s simple to use and understand but, equally, very hard to stop unless they have someone poised to stop you. So take to the skies and crash down with devastating effect.

1 Loki

Uno Reverse

The enemy’s Scarlet Witch just wiped your team, but if there’s a Loki on your team, you’ll be just fine because, with all his clones, he can hold down the fort until your squad gets back to the objective.

And if this trickster has his ultimate charged, he might just take down the rival team without any support.

The reason why Loki has the best Ultimate is that he can morph into any enemy nearby and steal their Ultimates. This means that you can choose any character that suits the situation.

Whenever I play Loki, I prefer to shapeshift into characters whose ultimates almost guarantee multi-kills, like Scarlet Witch, Star-Lord, Iron Man, or Jeff.

It’s this versatility that makes Loki so incredible in action, and while he’s far from the easiest character to play, that practice will pay off, trust me!
