Assists IN Marvel Rivals occur when you lend a hand an ally get eliminated during the game.
Duelist and Vanguard players may not receive as many assists as their Strategist counterparts, but that’s because they’re helping allies in eliminations – so instead of not landing the final blow on your enemy, you’ll need to look for other ways.
Here’s how to get assists Marvel Rivals and some of the best characters to play to get assists.
How to get assists in Marvel Rivals
Assists work slightly differently Marvel Rivals. In other shooters, you’ll get an assist if you’ve dealt damage or provided some effect such as slowing or stunning an enemy without getting the final hit.
IN Marvel Rivalsyou will only receive assistance from providing additional effects to teammates such as healing, slowing, and damage increases. You will not receive damage assist without taking the final hit, which will instead count towards your eliminations.
To know if you are receiving assists, pay attention to the assist icon that will appear on your screen when you receive an assist. You can also open the scoreboard and check your total assists.
The best way to get assists in Marvel Rivals
The best way to assist Marvel Rivals is to play as any of the Strategists because of their healing ability. If you heal a teammate who defeats an enemy, you’ll get an simple assist. Some Strategists may find it easier to get assists because their healing is readily available and not on cooldown like Adam Warlock. Remember to focus on healing, as any damage dealt will turn your assist into a takedown.
Another hero worth paying attention to is Storm. Storm’s Weather Control ability allows you to buff all allies near you with movement speed or damage, allowing you to get assists on takedowns even if you don’t land all your shots.
