The meta in Marvel Rivals Season 4.5 is quite surprising. While the list of the top-performing characters features several familiar names, like Magik and Rocket Raccoon, it also has an expected hero that has performed surprisingly well. This hero is none other than Daredevil, who was released only three weeks ago.

Despite his recent release, The Man Without Fear has been able to quickly climb through competitive ranks. Now, not only is he one of the heroes with the highest win rate, but he’s also deadly in high-ELO lobbies. Adding him to the game has turned out to be a fantastic move, as he is incredible when used correctly.

Daredevil is a huge part of the current Marvel Rivals meta

Daredevil arrived in Marvel Rivals on October 10, with the release of Season 4.5. The Duelist has the unique mechanic that limits his vision but heightens his senses in close-range combat. While this mechanic puts him at a disadvantage against fliers and snipers, he’s fantastic against many other heroes.

After three weeks of Season 4.5, Daredevil ranks seventh among all heroes in competitive win rate. He’s won 52.36% of games so far, which also makes him the third-best Duelist.

Interestingly, the hero has performed well in every rank. This is especially true for high-ELO lobbies, as he’s the winningest Duelist in Celestial and higher ranks. In these lobbies, Daredevil’s win rate is an impressive 54.89%. He’s the best Duelist in these ranks, as well as the third-best hero overall.

This is how good Daredevil is in every rank, from Bronze to Eternity:

RankOverall Spot Win Rate
Bronze10th50.86%
Silver5th55.01%
Gold2nd55.70%
Platinum4th54.67%
Diamond5th54.39%
Grandmaster7th54.26%
Celestial3rd54.89%
Eternity11th53.14%

With Marvel Rivals Season 5 launching on November 14, we expect NetEase to bring several balance changes. Unfortunately, the popular Duelist will most likely lose his seasonal bonus in mid-November, which currently grants him a damage boost and extra health.
