Analysis from Marvel Rivals‘ data on character selection and victory rates has uncovered an often-overlooked Strategist who boasts a consistently strong winning potential in all game modes and across various platforms.

It’s well-known that Marvel Rivals offers an array of thrilling characters to choose from. However, it’s also clear that certain characters outshine the rest, not only due to their gameplay effectiveness but also because they may be easier to master—making them popular choices in the game, often referred to as ‘meta picks’.

As we prepare for the grand debut of Season 1, developers have disclosed statistics about every hero, such as their victory rate and selection frequency across various game modes and devices. This allows us to grasp which characters are leading the rankings.

It’s quite unexpected, but among all strategists, an unpopular figure surprisingly boasts one of the highest victory percentages.

Adam Warlock is severely underrated

On the Quick Play mode for PC, Adam Warlock is chosen less frequently than other characters, with a pick rate of only 9.08%, but he boasts an impressive win rate of 54.42% when played in the Strategist role. This exceeds well-liked choices like Cloak and Dagger, Luna Snow, and Loki.

As a gamer, I consistently find myself being underestimated due to my unpopular character choices, yet I manage to rank at the top in terms of wins, whether it’s PC competitive play or console modes. The question that arises is: why isn’t this underrated character getting more recognition?

Though Adam’s mobility is restricted, he’s not a reliable choice for healing due to his resource limitations. However, his high damage output and useful abilities compensate for this.

In another Reddit discussion, someone pointed out that a strategic comeback from Adam could significantly shift the game’s outcome. Yet, this same user described their style as somewhat monotonous. Nevertheless, they conceded: “However, with sharp shooting skills, you can undeniably lead games.

His powerful shot inflicts substantial damage if you successfully land all hits, and an adept Adam player with accurate aiming can consistently force opponents to avoid him. Additionally, his ability to quickly discharge shots in group fights is commendable, particularly when the opposing team is caught off guard.

Moreover, his Soul Bond skill, paired with his healing capabilities, can swiftly rescue his teammates if timed correctly.

As a gamer, I’ve got to say, teaming up with the Guardians of the Galaxy is a game-changer! Adam’s got this awesome Team Up ability that lets us bring back our fallen comrades right where we choose, no need for him to exhaust his ultimate for that. It’s like having a second chance every time we take a hit!

In Marvel Rivals, there’s no role lock system, but it’s not optimal to play Adam solely as a healer; he performs best when paired with the right combination of characters.
