In the world of hero shooters, players often chase the thrill of securing kills, but *Marvel Rivals* is shaking things up by introducing challenges that reward teamwork through assists. If you're finding it tough to rack up those assists, don't worry—we've got you covered on how to get assists in *Marvel Rivals* and the best characters to help you achieve this goal.
As you dive into a match of *Marvel Rivals*, you'll notice three key sections on the stats screen: kills, deaths, and assists. Assists might be less common than kills because *Marvel Rivals* calculates them in a unique way. Here's the scoop: simply damaging an enemy doesn't contribute to your assist count. Instead, you need to focus on supporting your teammates. You can earn assists by healing them, deploying shields, or incapacitating enemies to allow your allies to finish them off.
This system naturally benefits healers and tanks who are more adept at providing support. If you're typically a damage-focused player, you might need to switch your strategy for a few matches to complete your challenges. But don't worry, certain characters in *Marvel Rivals* are particularly effective at securing assists.

While Jeff the Land Shark might not be the top Strategist, his bubbles and streams offer versatile healing options. The more your teammates are healed, the more chances they have to secure kills, which in turn, racks up your assists.
Mantis stands out as the prime support character for getting assists. With her ability to heal allies and use Spore Slumber to incapacitate enemies, she's a perfect fit. The challenge is snagging her quickly at the start of a match.
If you lean more towards tanks than healers, Peni Parker is an excellent choice. Her Cyber-Web Snare immobilizes enemies, setting them up as easy targets for your damage-focused teammates to finish off.
Another great tank option is Doctor Strange. His powerful shield, which you've likely encountered before, can be a game-changer. Use it to protect your allies, allowing them to focus on dealing damage and securing kills.
For Duelists looking to boost their assist count, Storm is your go-to character. Her Weather Control ability enhances your teammates' damage and speed, letting you support them as they take down enemies and pad your assist stats.
And that's the lowdown on how to get assists in *Marvel Rivals* and the best characters to help you achieve this. If you're eager for more challenges, check out all the Chronoverse Saga Achievements in *Marvel Rivals* Season 1 and how to unlock them.
