Gorr the God Butcher
Marvel Rivals has 54 heroes as of Season 10.5 (October 2026). The game launched on December 6, 2024 with 33 heroes, and NetEase has added new ones at almost every season and mid-season since – usually one at a time. The newest is Gorr the God Butcher, who arrived with Season 10 on September 11, 2026. Season 10.5 did not add a hero.
The three roles
Vanguard (14)The tanks. Big health pools, shields and crowd control – they create space and protect the team.
Duelist (27)The damage dealers. They hunt down enemies and secure eliminations – the largest group by far.
Strategist (12)The supports. They heal, buff allies and keep the team alive through big fights.
Deadpool (all three)Since Season 6, Deadpool can be picked as a Vanguard, a Duelist or a Strategist – one hero, three role slots.

Tips for picking a hero
Look for Team-UpsSince Season 9, every hero has two Team-Up loadouts. They work on their own, and get an enhanced effect when the partner hero is on your team.
Practise firstTry a new hero in the Practice Range or against bots before you take them into Quick Match.
Balance changes oftenHeroes are tuned in every mid-season and season update – check the latest patch notes before you main someone.
Watch the revealsEvery new hero gets an official reveal trailer – we collect them in release order.
