In any hero shooter, your success usually depends on the current patch. Marvel Rivals is no different—some heroes are currently overtuned powerhouses, while others are struggling to find their footing. Developers regularly tweak the roster with buffs and nerfs to keep the meta from getting stale, but players gravitate toward what works.
To climb the ranks or dominate your weekend sessions, you need to know which heroes everyone is playing and who wins the most. The pick rates below show what characters players prefer most halfway through Season 6 as of February 10, 2026, across all ranks. I’ve spent a lot of time in both queues this season, and the numbers match what you see game after game.
Data reflects mid–Season 6 across all ranks.
Vanguard Pick Rates and Performance in Marvel Rivals
Vanguards set the pace for team fights, create space, and absorb damage while your Duelists and Strategists do their thing. The tank meta has been pretty varied this season, with a lot of reliable picks depending on what playstyle you prefer.
Competitive Play
| Rank | Hero | Pick Rate | Win Rate |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Magneto | 18.42% | 49.64% |
| 2 | Emma Frost | 13.70% | 46.92% |
| 3 | Doctor Strange | 13.48% | 48.68% |
| 4 | Rogue | 13.03% | 53.28% |
| 5 | Thor | 8.23% | 53.57% |
Quickplay
| Rank | Hero | Pick Rate | Win Rate |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Rogue | 25.57% | 52.83% |
| 2 | Magneto | 10.29% | 49.38% |
| 3 | Emma Frost | 10.25% | 47.10% |
| 4 | Peni Parker | 8.23% | 58.56% |
| 5 | Angela | 7.51% | 53.76% |
In the Competitive scene, Magneto is the undisputed king of the frontline. With an 18.42% pick rate, he’s in almost every high-level match and provides the structural defense teams need to push objectives. Although he is famous, he isn’t the winningest tank. Thor takes the throne with a 53.57% win rate, proving that aggressive, dive-heavy playstyle is the way to go for those who can learn the art to play the God of Thunder.
Quickplay tells a different story. Rogue is the go-to choice here and has appeared in over a quarter of all matches. Her ability to adapt and steal powers makes her a danger for casual play. For peak efficiency, consider Peni Parker. She has a highest 58.56% win rate because her area denial and ranged control are a nightmare for uncoordinated teams. Angela also puts up impressive numbers with a 53.76 percent win rate. She doesn’t get picked as much, but when she does, she’s fine at getting the job done.
Duelist Pick Rates and Performance in Marvel Rivals
Duelists carry the damage load and secure eliminations. This class usually has the most dynamic pick rates since everyone wants to pop off and get kills, but not everyone can make every hero work. Duelists change the pace of fights, and season six highly favors those who keep the pressure on rather than clean execution.
Competitive Play
| Rank | Hero | Pick Rate | Win Rate |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Moon Knight | 10.94% | 49.59% |
| 2 | The Punisher | 8.09% | 47.95% |
| 3 | Winter Soldier | 7.86% | 47.60% |
| 4 | Phoenix | 6.97% | 48.63% |
| 5 | Squirrel Girl | 6.27% | 45.53% |
Quickplay
| Rank | Hero | Pick Rate | Win Rate |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Moon Knight | 7.92% | 50.00% |
| 2 | Spider-Man | 7.15% | 50.90% |
| 3 | Scarlet Witch | 6.54% | 51.71% |
| 4 | Phoenix | 6.34% | 48.22% |
| 5 | The Punisher | 6.32% | 49.13% |
If you’ve played a single match lately, you’ve heard Moon Knight screaming about the moon haunting you. He is currently the most popular Duelist across both Competitive and Quickplay. His kit is incredibly reliable to end target lives, but he is not the best at winning. In Ranked play, Magik is the secret carry; despite a low 3.14% pick rate, she wins nearly 56% of her games. The Punisher and Winter Soldier follow closely behind thanks to their damage-dealing kits. Their win rates are under 48%; maybe they’re underperforming or only popular with new players.
Quickplay Duelist picks are a bit more varied, with Spider-Man and Scarlet Witch trailing just behind Moon Knight. While everyone wants to be the web-head, the actual meta winner in casual games is Mister Fantastic. He currently wins at 56% rate, probably because he has a few deadly moves up his sleeves and is tough to take down, which makes him a great pain for casual players. When someone brings out Reed Richards in casual matches, they’re probably very comfortable with his stretchy kit and know how to level up his strength.
Strategist Pick Rates and Performance in Marvel Rivals
Strategists keep everyone alive and let other squad members dominate the arena. This class has arguably the most impact on whether your team wins or loses, since a good healer can carry more than you’d think.
Competitive Play
| Rank | Hero | Pick Rate | Win Rate |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Invisible Woman | 20.57% | 49.77% |
| 2 | Cloak & Dagger | 19.57% | 47.78% |
| 3 | Gambit | 17.89% | 51.50% |
| 4 | Rocket Raccoon | 11.60% | 54.86% |
| 5 | Luna Snow | 10.71% | 44.86% |
Quickplay
| Rank | Hero | Pick Rate | Win Rate |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Gambit | 21.99% | 51.96% |
| 2 | Invisible Woman | 14.31% | 49.48% |
| 3 | Cloak & Dagger | 11.98% | 49.15% |
| 4 | Jeff the Land Shark | 11.83% | 47.40% |
| 5 | Luna Snow | 10.86% | 46.24% |
The Support meta currently belongs to Invisible Woman and Cloak & Dagger. Sue Storm leads Competitive play with her appearance in 20.57% of games. She delivers massive utility while staying nearly impossible to pin down, which matters when everything is on the line. Rocket Raccoon, though, is the real ladder climber—his win rate shows how impactful strong offensive support can be when played well. Want the best shot at victory, though? Ultron owns that spot. At once, he delivers heavy damage and provides good healing service to the team.
Gambit, the new strategist, is crushing it in Season Six in Quickplay. With nearly a 22% pick rate, he’s the most popular pick because he is very versatile and mobile as a healer, which makes it hard for anyone to dive him. Interestingly, Jeff the Land Shark remains a fan favorite in casual modes, though he doesn’t quite hit the same win percentages as the more serious Strategists.
