Marvel Rivals: January 2025 Character Win Rate Analysis
Winning in Marvel Rivals hinges on both skillful play and smart character selection. To help you dominate, we've compiled the best and worst character win rates as of January 2025.

Understanding win rates helps identify meta-defining heroes and villains. No one wants to be the weak link, so choosing a high-win-rate character is a great strategy. This data can also be useful for convincing teammates to switch characters if necessary.
Lowest Win Rate Characters in Marvel Rivals (January 2025)
**Character** | **Pick Rate** | **Win Rate** |
Black Widow | 1.21% | 41.07% |
Jeff the Land Shark | 13.86% | 44.38% |
Squirrel Girl | 2.93% | 44.78% |
Moon Knight | 9.53% | 46.35% |
The Punisher | 8.68% | 46.48% |
Cloak & Dagger | 20.58% | 46.68% |
Scarlet Witch | 6.25% | 46.97% |
Venom | 14.65% | 47.56% |
Winter Soldier | 6.49% | 47.97% |
Wolverine | 1.95% | 48.04% |
Many characters on this list suffer from low pick rates, impacting their win percentages. However, Jeff the Land Shark, Cloak & Dagger, and Venom stand out. Jeff and Cloak & Dagger, despite being healers, lack the unique abilities of other Strategists like Mantis and Luna Snow. Jeff's Ultimate Attack nerf in Season 2 may further decrease his win rate. Venom, the only tank on this list, excels at absorbing damage but often struggles to deliver the final blow. Fortunately, a Season 1 buff will increase his Ultimate Attack's base damage.
