Which class should you pick in Marvel Rivals?
Ultimately, the best class in Marvel Rivals depends on whatever character you like to play – so go ahead and experiment. Pick your favorite character, and enter the practice mode to test out your skills and familiarize yourself with their movesets.
However, those looking for an easier start might want to direct their attention to the Duelist class – given their much simpler controls and mechanics.
Those looking for a more challenging class might want to play as a Strategist though.
