In the fifth part of the Midnight Features event, you have to “secure 🌜100 Assists” in one of the core modes of the game, so here’s what you need to know.

What is an assist in Marvel Rivals?

To start, an assist in Marvel Rivals is counted as using an ability to ౠhelp one of your teammates get a kill. Whether it’s healing or some kind of buff, it’ll count as an assist.

However, if you contribute direct damage to taking down an opponent, but 🧔don’t get the Final Hit, it’ll count as a KO. 

How to get assists in Marvel Rivals

To get assists, you’ll have to use characters who play a more passive role in damage rather than using a Duelist (DPS). The only one♐ in this role who can get co🍸nsistent assists is Storm.

Other than that, you’ll more likely want to use a Strategist (support) character to get this challenge done.

How to quickly get assists in Marvel Rivals

The best character to get assists with in Marvel Rivals is Rocket Raccoon. It’s time to learn a new role other than being a DPS who dives in and blames the team fꦅor a loss be𝓰cause you don’t want to switch.

As Rocket, you’ll want to stay at advantageous angles where you can heal your🍷 teammates from afar. His healing isn’t as potent as Luna Snow or Mantis, but he can provide long-ranged, consistent healing all 🍨while having tools to escape and revive allies. 

If you play as Rocket and spam your Repair Mode (alt fire) at your allies, you’ll snag so man🦹y assists in one match. 

He’s also one of൩ the better healers to rack a bunch of assists with because of that long-ranged healing. Rocket can provide healing to flankers, flying characters, and up-close fighters like Wolverine, Spider-Man, Scarlet Witch, Iron Man, Storm, Black Panther, and the Hulk.

Oꦡther supports can do the trick, but he’s more consist🔥ent than any others since you can just spam heals and still be a valuable teammate.
