If you're looking for a way to fill up your stat sheet, here's how to get assists in Marvel Rivals and the best characters to use.

Typically, hero shooter players want all the glory for themselves. However, Marvel Rivals is introducing challenges that ask gamers to rack up assists, only they’re running into some trouble securing them. Here’s how to get assists in Marvel Rivals and the best characters to use to get them.

How To Get Assists in Marvel Rivals

As you play through a match of Marvel Rivals, you’ll notice there are three sections in the stats screen: one for kills, one for deaths, and the final one for assists. Assists don’t appear as often as kills do, and that’s because Marvel Rivals tracks them in a very specific way.

Doing damage to an enemy player, even if you don’t deliver the final blow, will count as a kill. That’s because damage doesn’t count toward assists in any way in Marvel Rivals. The only way to get assists is to provide support to teammates by healing them, using a shield, or capturing an enemy to allow an ally to finish them off.

With all that in mind, it’s easy to see why healers and tanks have a much easier time getting assists. So, if you’re a damage-only player, you’re probably going to have to switch things up for a few matches if you want to complete your challenges. Thankfully, there are a few characters that are better than others at getting assists.
