How to counter Devil Dinosaur

Vanguard · Marvel Rivals

The best counters to Devil Dinosaur right now are Squirrel Girl, Phoenix, and Cyclops, led by Squirrel Girl at a +14.8 counter rating, about a +13% swing to an even fight. Every hero below is ranked by how hard they beat Devil Dinosaur in real duels and teamfights, all ranks, updated Aug 8, 2026.

Ratings blend one-on-one duel wins (about two thirds) with teamfight impact (one third) for most heroes, shifting fully to teamfights for heroes who rarely land the final blow, like many supports. It all comes from the kill feeds of community matches. Each hero's general strength is stripped out, so a high rating means the matchup itself is lopsided, not that the hero is simply strong. Match win rate is excluded on purpose: it punishes counter picks made from behind. Counters that work by absorbing or denying damage rather than dealing it, like Magneto's shields, are understated by kill data. So are counters that only come online while a team-up is active.

How are Devil Dinosaur's Marvel Rivals counters calculated?
From the kill feeds of community matches: who wins the one-on-one kill trades against Devil Dinosaur, and whose side dies more while both heroes are on the field. Each hero's general strength is stripped out so the rating reflects the matchup itself, and match win rate is excluded entirely because counter-swappers are usually already losing when they swap. Matchups need 50 or more contributing players to appear.

Should I swap off my main to counter Devil Dinosaur in Marvel Rivals?
Only when the matchup is genuinely lopsided. Playing your best hero into a slightly bad matchup usually beats swapping to an unfamiliar counter: the data shows counter-swappers lose more often partly because they are off their main. Use the ratings here to judge how lopsided the matchup really is before giving up your comfort pick.
