Marvel Rivals

In the free-to-play PvP hero shooter Marvel Rivals, performance is clearly ranked, highlighting top and bottom performers. This guide explains the meaning and implications of SVP.

Marvel Rivals SVP Meaning Explained

SVP in Marvel Rivals stands for Second Valuable Player. This designation is awarded to the most valuable player on the losing team. It's distinct from MVP (Most Valuable Player), given to the best player on the winning team.

How to Get SVP in Marvel Rivals

Achieving SVP depends on your character's role and effective gameplay. Here's a breakdown:

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

Consistent strong performance in your assigned role increases your chances of earning SVP, even in defeat.

What Does SVP Do? The Impact of SVP

Currently, SVP in Marvel Rivals doesn't provide in-game rewards in casual matches; it's purely a recognition of individual performance.

However, community consensus suggests that in Competitive matches, achieving SVP prevents the loss of ranked points. A typical loss results in a ranked point deduction, hindering rank progression. Earning SVP mitigates this penalty, preserving your rank and easing the climb.
