Marvel Rivals has remained an extremely successful game, and it is not entirely because of its entertaining gameplay. The Marvel Comicverse has a seemingly infinite number of characters, and developers NetEase keep the game fresh by introducing two new heroes every season! With the ongoing Season 3.5, there are 41 heroes in the game, and more are soon to be added with Season 4. At the same time, the player-base keeps on increasing, with new members joining the foray every passing second.

Hero-shooter games have a “dive” character classification, which might confuse players in this game. In this article, we will list all the dive heroes that are there in Marvel Rivals. We will also explain what this term means, and what playstyle determines the dive class.

Marvel Rivals: All Dive Heroes

As of Season 3.5, here are all the dive heroes that currently exist in Marvel Rivals:

  • Vanguards:
    • Captain America
    • Hulk
    • Venom
    • Thor
    • Emma Frost
    • The Thing
  • Duelists:
    • Black Panther
    • Iron Fist
    • Magik
    • Psylocke
    • Mister Fantastic
    • Spider-Man
    • Star-Lord
    • Wolverine
    • Blade*
  • Strategists:
    • Luna Snow
    • Jeff
    • Rocket Raccoon

Classifying Strategists in the dive category is a tricky job since it entirely depends on how the Vanguards and Duelists in the team are playing. Heroes like Luna Snow, Jeff, or Rocket Raccoon can switch up their styles to either dive with the team or stay back, making them situational roles. That said, the ones mentioned have a playstyle that focuses on mobility, allowing them to also dive with the team as necessary.

*Typically, dive heroes do not fall under the umbrella of hitscan characters. That said, Blade is a special entry, since his kit also contains hitscan properties with the Hunter’s Shotgun weapon. The rest of his kit, however, focuses entirely on melee, which puts him in the dive category entirely.

What Are Dive Heroes in Marvel Rivals?

Dive is a playstyle where you fight using quick movements while focusing on a particular target, mostly using melee attacks to finish them. In normal team fights, there is generally a faceoff where all characters engage. In a dive style, one of the sides dictates the match by selecting a target and then focusing on it specifically.

Mostly, dive heroes are fighters who like to get up close and personal. These comprise both melee heroes and those who lack a decent range. Dive compositions are generally very annoying and demand counterplays in most cases, especially in higher ranks. If you do not counter a dive team, chances are you will be completely cornered by the enemy and you will lose the match.
