Marvel Rivals Guide: Unveiling the SVP

Marvel Rivals: Understanding the SVP Title

Marvel Rivals, a free-to-play PvP hero shooter, clearly designates top and bottom performers after each match. This guide explains the meaning and implications of the SVP title.

What Does SVP Mean?

In Marvel Rivals, SVP stands for Second Valuable Player. This accolade is given to the player who performed best on the losing team. It's distinct from MVP (Most Valuable Player), awarded to the best player on the winning team.

How to Earn SVP

Achieving SVP depends on your character's role and in-game performance. Generally, excelling in your assigned role increases your chances:

Role Key Performance Indicator
Duelist Highest damage dealt on your team
Strategist Most HP healed on your team
Vanguard Most damage blocked on your team

Consistent strong performance within your role significantly improves your chances of earning SVP, even in defeat.

Benefits of SVP

Currently, SVP doesn't offer direct in-game rewards in quick play matches; it's primarily a recognition of individual performance.

However, community consensus suggests that in Competitive matches, achieving SVP prevents the loss of ranked points. Normally, a Competitive loss results in a rank point deduction. Earning SVP mitigates this penalty, preserving your rank progress and easing the climb to higher tiers.
