Marvel Rivals Duelist · Season 10.5
Updated
Star-Lord is a Duelist hero in Marvel Rivals with 275 health and a 2/5 difficulty rating. Star-Lord joined the game in Season 0 on December 6, 2024. In Season 10.5 ranked, Star-Lord has a 47.9% win rate (C tier, #37 of 54) and is picked by 4.8% of teams. Star-Lord's team-ups are Flora Munitions (with Groot) and Star-Soul (with Adam Warlock). The ultimate is Galactic Legend.
Two hitscan pistols firing 40 rounds per second at 6.5 damage each, with 50 ammo and critical hits. Damage drops after 10 m and the spread widens as he keeps firing, so he does his best work up close.
His ultimate lets him fly freely and his guns lock on to enemies in sight within 40 m. He also gets 20% more speed and 70% faster reloads, so keep moving between targets while the guns do the aiming.
A quick dodge that reloads his guns, with 2 charges on a 5-second recharge. He is Unstoppable and Invincible for 0.37 seconds during it, enough to slip through a stun or a big hit.
Jet boots that double his movement speed and carry him forward, using a 1,800-point fuel meter that drains at 300 per second. Use short boosts to keep fuel for an escape after diving the backline.
For 3 seconds he fires in every direction, hitting enemies within 8 m for 80 damage per second, on an 8-second cooldown. It works best when he drops into the middle of several enemies.

Star-Lord has 2 team-up loadouts. Pick one before the match: it always works, and its enhanced effect turns on when the partner hero is on your team.
Adds a seed throw (C) on a 15-second cooldown that sprouts 5 snares; each deals 30 damage and roots the enemy who steps on it for 0.8 seconds. With Groot on the team it spawns 8 snares at 45 damage, good for closing a choke or stopping a diver.
Ranked win rate with Groot: 55.3% (+7.5 vs Star-Lord's 47.9% overall, 2,686 matches)
Adds a Telekinetic Beacon (C) he can teleport back to from anywhere every 30 seconds, and on death he respawns at it, once per 120 seconds. With Adam Warlock on the team each KO he joins cuts 10 seconds off, a pick for aggressive dives.
Ranked win rate with Adam Warlock: 56.2% (+8.4 vs Star-Lord's 47.9% overall, 1,544 matches)
Star-Lord needs to be within about 10 m to deal full damage, so keep your distance and punish him after both Stellar Shift charges are gone, since they are his dodge and his reload. Heroes who fight in the air, like Storm, or who lay down zones, like Peni Parker, can deny his dives. When Galactic Legend starts, break line of sight: the lock-on only fires at enemies he can see within 40 m.
