A wish list for Marvel's strategic antagonists

At the start, Marvel Rivals gave players a list of over 30 heroes to choose from. They can destroy their enemies like Iron Man, create giant walls of thorns like Groot, swallow entire teams like Jeff the Land Shark, and even cause chaos like Wolverine. No matter what type of hero player you are looking for, Marvel Rivals it seems to suggest. That being said, those looking to play as a healer may want more.

Until now, Marvel Rivals' The strategy role is a little light, with only seven different characters to choose from. Despite the likes of Loki and Rocket Raccoon, most of them are not very popular. Couples who have a lack of options, and many leave the role completely. But, NetEase Games has a lot of Marvel characters that will be available in future updates to strengthen the role.

Marvel Rivals has an impressive array of options for new strategists

Beast's scientific mind can lead to powerful healing fans

One character that feels like it would be perfect for the Strategist role is the Beast. As a member of the X-Men, Beast uses his scientific mind to strengthen his team and help them in times of need. He is an authority on biochemistry and genetics, works as the X-Men's real-life doctor, and teaches science and math at the Xavier Institute. With all these accolades, it would be strange if he wasn't strategically placed in the first place.

Animals can throw vials of mystical liquid to heal allies or be given special weapons that do their job for them. Along with this, his superhuman strength may give him tank-like abilities, such as a larger health pool, defensive abilities, and self-healing. It would seem that The Incredible Hulk is also given the ability to heal his allies, making Beast unstoppable in battle.

Shuri feels like the perfect Healer to fight alongside

For starters, Black Panther and the nation of Wakanda have a big presence in it Marvel Rivals. So, it seems odd that no one else from Wakanda has made the cut so far. However, with updates that may change. Of course, there are plenty of characters that NetEase could pull from, but it's worth considering adding T'Challa's sister Shuri to the mix. Not only does he have strong ties to Wakanda, he is often portrayed as the country's leading scientific mind.

Because of her intelligence, Shuri may fit into the Strategist role. Using his inventions, he can help strengthen and protect his teammates. Additionally, since he is also a skilled martial artist, he can be a force to be reckoned with in battle. And if NetEase delved more into his history than the MCU, he could even be given the power to bring back the dead or protect himself with stone skin.

Agatha Harkness can put a new spin on the healing role

If Strategist fans want to watch a more evil healer, Agatha Harkness seems like a good fit, especially since she just got her own Disney Plus show. Since her inception, Agatha has used powerful magic to keep herself alive and destroy her enemies. Basically, he can manipulate all magical powers and even consume the power of others to increase his power. Through this, players can get different types of healers.

Agatha Harkness can have the ability to consume the power of other heroes and give it to her allies. This means that the enemy may want to avoid him, but he also wants to find them. This will make for a very interesting cat and mouse game, which most healers have never had. If implemented correctly, it can lead to one of the most unique characters in the game.

Along with these characters, there are many others that can be matched Marvel Rivals' Strategic role. Wong was able to strategize on Doctor Strange, Ultron was able to provide an army of robots to help the team, and Professor X was able to manipulate the enemy's mind. And if current strategists like Rocket or Luna Snow are anything to go by, almost any hero can step into that role if given the chance.
