At level 10 you unlock the Marvel Rivals competitive ranked mode, which features intense, multiple-round matches where victorious players can gain rank points to ascend through the divisions. There are eight different ranks, but all aside from the top two have three sub-divisions, so there are 20 levels to climb if you want to reach the top. Every 100 points you earn bags you a rank promotion, with wins earning you rank points but losses losing you points, which could lead to a rank demotion if you’re on a losing streak.

However, dropping down a rank can be prevented by using a Chrono Shield, but you get a limited number of these to protect yourself from demotions. At the higher ranks, there are a few other special rules to be aware of too, including rank decay and hero bans, which I’ve explained below.

Here are all 20 Marvel Rivals ranks in Competitive mode:

If you’re doing anyMarvel Rival Team upswith friends be aware thatplayers in adjacent ranks can team up and match together. Additionally, Bronze and Silver are considered a single rank. That means Bronze-ranked players can team up and match with other Bronze players, as well as Silver and Gold. However, Platinum players, for example, can only match and team up with Gold, Platinum, and Diamond players, and One Above All players can only match with Eternity and other One Above All-ranked players. If you want to get your friends playing remember to use aMarvel Rivals Assemble codeto get rewards from them.
