Marvel Rivals is a competitive game no matter which mode you are playing and while you’ll need to get kills to win, assisting teammates is almost just as important. However, with the gameplay being so fast, things aren’t as clear cut for what classes as an assist, which may be required to complete various missions. Here, we’ll be revealing exactly how to get assists in Marvel Rivals so you can check off any associated challenges and support your team to the best of your ability.

Something to note though is that for a crowd control effect to count toward an assist, the enemy must still be affected by that status when your ally lands the killing blow. Let’s say you’re playing as Luna Snow, and you put an enemy in a frozen state.
