Vanguards are a class of characters in Marvel Rivals whose high health and survivability help teams, but some in this role are stronger than others.

Starting off the list is the loudmouth from the Guardians of the Galaxy: Rocket Raccoon. This rambunctious rodent has a machine gun that can slice through enemies and shoot healing orbs to regenerate the health of allies. In addition to this, he's one of the few characters in the game with the ability to revive allies if they fall in battle.

Vanguard plays a crucial role in Marvel Rivals, which, at times, is necessary to pick. Vanguard picks are vital; you must choose the one that synergizes with your team composition.
