How do Marvel Rivals ranks work? For many hero shooter enthusiasts, the casual experience eventually gives way to a desire for more intense, competitive matches. Marvel Rivals delivers on this with a robust ranked mode, offering unique rewards that motivate players to truly test their skills.
If you’ve been honing your abilities with your favorite Marvel Rivals characters and studying the tier list, now is the perfect time to jump into the game’s ultimate challenge. This guide will walk you through all the Marvel Rivals ranks, detail how the competitive mode functions, and highlight the fantastic free skins and other rewards you can earn by rising through the ranks.
All Marvel Rivals Ranks in Order
The nine official Marvel Rivals ranks are:
- Bronze (Tier III-I)
- Silver (Tier III-I)
- Gold (Tier III-I)
- Platinum (Tier III-I)
- Diamond (Tier III-I)
- Grandmaster (Tier III-I)
- Celestial (Tier III-I)
- Eternity
- One Above All
Each rank, from Bronze up to Celestial, is divided into three tiers (Tier III, II, and I). To advance past each tier, you’ll need to accumulate 100 ranked points, meaning a total of 300 points is required to progress through an entire rank. Once you achieve Celestial, your points will simply continue to accumulate. The pinnacle of competitive play, the One Above All rank, is exclusively awarded to the Top 500 players at the end of each season, a system familiar to many fans of other hero shooters.
Marvel Rivals Rank Distribution
Understanding the rank distribution helps you gauge your performance relative to the wider player base. Keep in mind that these numbers can shift throughout a season, but we strive to keep this information updated.
The current Marvel Rivals rank distribution for October 2025 is:
- Bronze: 24.9%
- Silver: 10.1%
- Gold: 12.5%
- Platinum: 13.6%
- Diamond: 15.4%
- Grandmaster: 15.2%
- Celestial: 6.6%
- Eternity and One Above All: 1.7%
These statistics provide a snapshot of the PC player base. At the end of Season 1.5, developers shared an official chart that excluded players with fewer than five competitive matches, which helped present a more accurate representation by reducing the initial high concentration of players in Bronze.
Marvel Rivals Competitive Mode Explained
Marvel Rivals’ ranked mode retains the core gameplay of Quickplay but introduces several additional rules and systems. To even begin playing competitively, you must first reach Level 10.
While some of the more advanced rules apply primarily to higher-ranked play, one beneficial system for everyone is the Chrono Shield. If you find yourself on a losing streak, you have a good chance of receiving a Chrono Shield. This shield prevents you from being demoted after a loss, though it needs to recharge after use. The higher your current rank, the more losses you’ll need to incur before your demotion shield becomes available again. It’s a clever system that provides a safety net during fluctuating win/loss periods within your tier.
For those who achieve Celestial rank, be aware of rank decay: your rank points will gradually decrease if you don’t queue for competitive matches for a certain period. Additionally, once you reach Diamond III, your team gains the ability to ban two heroes per game. This strategic element helps to counter dominant meta picks and encourages players to develop a broader hero pool beyond just the most powerful characters.
Matchmaking also has rank disparity restrictions. Players in Gold and below can team up with any of their friends. However, from Gold I up to Celestial, you must be within a three-division rank range of your teammates. Finally, players in Eternity or One Above All can only queue solo or as a duo, and if they team up, it must be with Celestial II players within a 200-point difference.
