With the arrival of Marvel Rivals Season 4, the developer has added the Strike Squad feature, which allows you to pre-select heroes that you prefer to use in matches.
Marvel Rivals has a total of 42 heroes in the game, offering players a variety of playstyles and team compositions. As the developer keeps adding two heroes per season, having your Strike Squad makes it easier for you to find the ones that you like and pick them quickly. Essentially, it enables you to create a favorites section.
