Best Marvel Rivals Healers for Climbing Ranked
The best Marvel Rivals healers for ranked in Season 10.5 are Luna Snow, Jeff the Land Shark and Jubilee as main healers, with Invisible Woman, Loki and Rocket Raccoon as the strongest second Strategists. That’s our editorial pick, based on each kit and on the changes in NetEase’s two latest balance posts, not on win rate statistics.
How we chose the best Marvel Rivals healers
Marvel Rivals calls its healers Strategists, and most ranked teams run two. So the question isn’t “who heals most” but “which pair keeps a team alive and still wins fights”.
We judged each Strategist on three things: raw healing you can rely on, what they add besides healing (shields, revives, damage), and whether the Season 10 and 10.5 balance posts on marvelrivals.com pushed them up or down. One change hit everyone: since Season 10, healing converts to ultimate energy at 65% instead of 70%, and damage at 50% instead of 55%. Every Strategist ultimate now takes a little longer.
Which Marvel Rivals healers are best for ranked right now?
| Strategist | Best as | Why | Latest change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Luna Snow | Main healer | Steady healing plus a team-saving ultimate | Cryo Heart self-heal 30/s to 35/s |
| Jeff the Land Shark | Main healer | Big area healing, hard to pin down | Joyful Splash, Aqua Burst and ultimate pool buffed |
| Jubilee | Main healer | Self-sustain and a strong healing ultimate | Ultimate field 150/s to 180/s, new self-heal |
| Invisible Woman | Second healer | Shields and stealth for herself | Stealth no longer breaks from damage in the first second |
| Loki | Second healer | Illusions and a flexible ultimate | More healing from Mystical Missile and in stealth |
| Rocket Raccoon | Second healer | Revives and damage boost | No change in the last two balance posts |
| Cloak & Dagger | Either | Healing plus Vulnerable debuff | Vulnerable 28% to 20%, Dagger area healing 25 to 20 |
| Mantis | Second healer | Damage boosts and burst healing | Life Orb charge 3s to 4s |
Best main healers: Luna Snow, Jeff and Jubilee
Luna Snow is still the safest main healer. Her kit heals steadily at range, and in Season 10 her Cryo Heart self-healing went from 30 to 35 per second, which helps her survive dives. The one loss was the self-cleanse on her White Fox Team-Up.
Small price? For most players, yes.
Jeff got a straight buff in Season 10, with no strings attached. Joyful Splash heals 140 per second instead of 130, Aqua Burst flies faster (150 m/s) and hits for 30, and the healing pool after his ultimate now heals 130 per second instead of 100. Honestly, Jeff players lost nothing in Season 10.
Jubilee is Season 10.5’s biggest Strategist winner. She now heals herself for 25 per second during Sparking Sprint, and her Firework Finale ultimate heals 180 per second instead of 150. Her Blind lasts 0.8 seconds instead of 1.5, though, so she’s less of a disruptor and more of a healer now.
Best second healers: Invisible Woman, Loki and Rocket
Invisible Woman’s change is subtle but useful. For the first second after going invisible, taking damage no longer breaks her stealth, so escapes are more reliable. Her Orb Projection heals a bit less on return (45 to 40).
Loki gets more sustain all round: Mystical Missile heals 15 instead of 10, and he heals himself for 30 per second while stealthed after Deception, up from 20. Rocket Raccoon had no changes in either post. Why still pick him? Revives win fights the healing numbers can’t, and that’s never changed.
Which Marvel Rivals healers got weaker?
Cloak & Dagger and Mantis took the clearest hits in Season 10. Cloak’s Terror Cape now applies 20% Vulnerable instead of 28%, and Dagger’s area healing after a Lightforce Dagger hit drops from 25 to 20. Mantis’s Life Orbs take 4 seconds to charge instead of 3, and her Healing Flower with Star-Lord heals less, though the Adam Warlock Team-Up got much stronger.
To be fair, neither is unplayable. Who still picks them? Players who already know the kit inside out. They just need a better reason to pick them than “we need a healer”.
Ultron also changed: his Firewall gives less bonus health (65 to 40 for him, 50 to 40 for allies) but adds a 20 per second self-heal for 3 seconds.
How to pair two healers in Marvel Rivals ranked
Pair one main healer with one utility healer. In practice, Luna Snow plus Invisible Woman, Jeff plus Loki, or Jubilee plus Rocket each give you steady healing plus a second tool (shields, illusions or revives).
- Into heavy dive, take a healer who can survive alone: Luna Snow or Jubilee, now that both heal themselves.
- Into poke, a pair with area healing such as Jeff and Loki keeps the whole team topped up.
- If your Vanguard can’t hold space, Rocket’s revives buy back lost fights.
