As a Strategist main in Marvel Rivals, I've noticed a significant misunderstanding about the role's purpose, especially from Duelist players. Here's what you need to know about Strategists:
Key Role Functions:
- Provide healing support
- Offer utility abilities (blinds, shields, damage boosts)
- Support point control with Vanguards
- Balance between healing and offensive capabilities

Understanding Strategist Heroes:
- Cloak & Dagger: Dual-hero mechanics with both healing and offensive capabilities
- Invisible Woman: Mid-range support with shields and positional play
- Each Strategist has unique playstyles beyond pure healing

Tips for Better Team Play:
-
Duelist players should:
- Stay within healing range near objectives
- Use health packs when healers are occupied
- Communicate using pings or voice chat
- Understand their self-sustain abilities
-
Strategist players should:
- Balance healing and utility abilities
- Prioritize supporting point control
- Coordinate with Vanguards
- Maintain awareness of team positioning
Common Misconceptions:
- Strategists aren't just healers
- Healing stats reflect actual team support
- Assists depend on team coordination
- Different Strategists require different playstyles
Success in Marvel Rivals requires understanding each role's purpose and working together as a team, rather than blaming specific players or roles.
