Marvel Rivals Counter Picks

A counter pick lookup for Marvel Rivals. Pick the hero wrecking your game and you get the heroes that beat them, each with one line naming the ability that does it. Look up who you are playing instead and you get the same thing in reverse.

Two different things, and we keep them apart. Which heroes beat which comes from community match and duel data. The reason attached to each one is ours: 346 of them are written by hand off the official hero pages, so the note names a real ability and a real number you can check in game. The rest are read from both heroes' kit archetypes, and those rows say so on the row. Statistical data is based on external APIs and publicly available information. It may differ from official data.

How lopsided the matchup is. It is not a win rate and it is not something we measured. Hard counters sit at 7-10 and soft counters at 3-6, so the number and the label can never disagree. Where a community source published a rating from duel outcomes we mapped it onto that scale; otherwise it reflects the tier that source assigned, or our own read.

Each box is the top 3 in that role, strongest first, so you get a pick for the slot you are actually playing instead of a wall of portraits. The deeper matchups are still in the data, they are on the hero's own page.

Yes, and that is honest rather than broken. A hero's counters and the heroes countering them are two views of one fact, so filling every box to exactly three would need every role to hold the same number of heroes. The roster is 14 Vanguards, 26 Duelists and 12 Strategists. Where a box is short, no third answer in that role holds up.

Because we do not run a data pipeline against the game, and a number we cannot measure is a number we made up. A precise looking percentage misleads more than an honest two-step rating, so the scale is Hard and Soft and nothing else.

A hard counter decides the matchup on its own: the countered hero cannot do their job while it is on the field. A soft counter tilts the fight without ending it, and good positioning or a support can still play around it.

All 53 on the Season 9.5 roster, and every matchup on the site carries a reason. 346 are hand-written notes naming a specific ability; the rest are read from both heroes' kit archetypes and labelled that way. Nothing is padded with a guess, and no hard counter ships without a written reason.

No. No sign in, no paywall, nothing behind a Discord invite. Every matchup on the site is on this page.

The roster is current as of Season 9.5 and the numbers refresh weekly. Each hero page also tells you when a patch has landed since the last data pull, because one ability tuning pass can flip a counter both ways.
