Marvel Rivals frequently introduces useful new features to make playing easier. It can sometimes be tricky to keep up with and find these new aspects, though, as is the case with your Strike Squad.
This special feature was introduced in the season four update, and although it wasn’t really highlighted much in the patch notes, it’s a pretty big improvement you’ll want to know about. If you’re having trouble finding this one, here’s how to use the Strike Squad in Marvel Rivals.

What is Strike Squad in Marvel Rivals?
The Strike Squad option is essentially a favorites section where you can save all of your most-used characters for easier access. You can freely add any hero or villain to this list and remove them at any point.
Strike Squad was added in the season four update alongside Angela. It’s a new way to view your favorite characters to play as, and a means to more quickly choose who you want to be in all types of matches.
How to add to Strike Squad in Marvel Rivals
You can add a hero to your Strike Squad by selecting the option to do so on the Heroes page. This process can be a bit tricky to find and use if you don’t know where to look, so here’s how to get it done.
- Navigate to the Heroes tab.
- Find the character you want to add to your Strike Squad.
- Hover over the character.
- Select the button that appears next to the phrase “Add to Strike Squad.”
The exact button you need to press varies by platform, but it’s always displayed right next to the option when you hover over any character on the Heroes page. If you’ve already added a hero to your Strike Squad, this option instead says “Remove from Strike Squad,” granting you an easy way to switch up your list at any time.
How to view Strike Squad in Marvel Rivals
You can view your Strike Squad by navigating to the Heroes tab and selecting the Strike Squad toggle near the upper right corner. This option sits right above the hero portraits, slightly left of the filter you can use to organize by different classes.
How to use Marvel Rivals Strike Squad
When loading into any type of match, you can use your Strike Squad by selecting the fifth option down on the character selection page. It’s right underneath the Strategists tab. Unfortunately, this menu doesn’t default to your Strike Squad, so you must select it manually to choose from your favorites.
Once you have this page open, you can select any of the listed heroes just like you usually would. Strike Squad is basically a favorites category that narrows down the number of characters displayed to only those you’ve selected, so it’s a great way to lock in your choice quicker.
After building your perfect Strike Squad, you might get to work tackling some tricky achievements. Some good ones to get done are Echoes of the Abyss, Days of Future Past, Mutant and Proud!, and Whispers in Pieces.
