Marvel Rivals Conquest Mode Explained

Introduction

---

For most people, grinding competitive to get a good rank is what games like Marvel Rivals are all about. However, you don’t always have to worry about team comps, strategies, and protecting your ELO. Marvel Rivals has a bunch of casual modes that allow you to sit back and enjoy your favorite heroes without the fear of losing your rank, and Conquest Mode is one of those.

It’s a short, fast-paced mode designed to get you in the groove before you queue for competitive. Here is everything you need to know about it.

What’s Conquest Mode?

---

Conquest Mode in Marvel Rivals drops two teams of six into the Tokyo 2099: Ninomaru map (currently the only map for Conquest Mode). The goal isn’t just to rack up kills, it’s to collect Chronovium Orbs, which enemies drop when you defeat them. The first team to gather 50 orbs wins. If time runs out, the team with the most orbs takes the match.

Unlike other modes, every player must pick a unique hero, so there are no duplicate picks on a team. This makes for unpredictable battles, forcing players to adapt. There’s no ranked pressure here, just straight-up fights where the best brawler wins.

How It Works

---

Conquest isn’t something super complicated. It’s designed to be a relatively simple and fun casual mode.  Here’s how it works.

• 12 players (6 per team) battle it out
• Chronovium Orbs drop from defeated enemies
• Pick up orbs to score points for your team
• The first team to get to 50 orbs wins; if the timer runs out before that, the team with the most orbs wins
• No duplicate hero picks on a team

It’s an arcade mode, meaning you won’t find it in Quick Match or Competitive. It’s built for fun, quick rounds with non-stop action.

Conquest Mode – A Perfect Warm-Up

---

Conquest is a great way to improve your skills. Without objectives to worry about, you can focus on combat, movement, and hero mechanics. It’s also a solid mode to test new heroes in a live fight before taking them into ranked play.

Matches are short, usually lasting around 4 minutes, so you’re never stuck in a long game. If you want a break from strategy-heavy modes, this is where you go to just fight.

Best Heroes for Conquest Mode

---

Conquest Mode in Marvel Rivals is all about quick eliminations and survival. Whether you prefer brute force (Venom, Iron Fist), agility (Spider-Man, Magik), or tactical play (Rocket Raccoon), choosing the right hero makes all the difference.

If you’re playing Conquest to learn new heroes, you obviously don’t have to worry about going for a ‘meta’ pick. However, if you want to play the mode to win, there are some heroes that are better suited to this mode than others.

Here are some of the best heroes for conquest mode:

1. Iron Fist – The Relentless Brawler

Iron Fist is a perfect choice for Conquest Mode. His quick, powerful strikes allow him to win close-range duels and his Chi-enhanced abilities let him deal devastating damage while sustaining himself in fights.

• High Burst Damage means that he can take down enemies quickly.
• Fast Mobility allows him to chase opponents or escape danger.
• Self-Healing keeps him alive longer in extended fights.

Iron Fist thrives in 1v1 skirmishes, and since Conquest Mode is all about constant combat, he shines as one of the best picks for securing quick eliminations and grabbing orbs.

2. Venom

Venom is a nightmare to deal with in Conquest Mode. His symbiote abilities let him tank damage, and web-swinging allows him to get in and out of fights fast. His sustainability and mobility make him incredibly hard to kill, allowing him to stay in fights longer than most heroes.

Since Conquest Mode has no objectives to hide behind, Venom thrives by being in the middle of fights, absorbing damage, and smashing opponents into submission.

3. Spider-Man

Spider-Man’s mobility and agility make him one of the most annoying heroes to deal with in Conquest Mode. He can swing around the map, dodge attacks, and pick off weakened enemies with precision. His web attacks let him control engagements, ensuring he always fights on his terms. He is a dive duelist who can easily pick off healers or other enemies quickly.

Since Conquest Mode requires quick movement and fast reactions, Spider-Man excels by dodging attacks, disrupting enemies, and securing kills before they can react.

4. Rocket Raccoon

While Rocket might not be the first hero that comes to mind for Conquest Mode, his healing and other support abilities make him an essential strategist pick. He can keep his teammates alive and escape easily with his mobility. 

Rocket Racoon works really well as a solo strategist, while other healers are great at working with a team, Conquest mode doesn’t put that much emphasis on team comp, so you need to pick a strategist that can play aggressively on his own, and that’s where Rocket Racoon shines.

5. Magik

Magik’s ability to teleport in and out of fights makes her one of the hardest heroes to pin down. She can jump into a fight, take down an enemy, collect the orb, and escape before anyone can respond. Her high burst damage and mobility make her a dangerous pick in Conquest Mode.

Magik plays like a hit-and-run assassin, making her perfect for Conquest Mode. She can take enemies by surprise, eliminate them quickly, and get out before reinforcements arrive. She excels in 1v1s, and that’s what Conquest is about.

If you’re tired of objectives and just want quick, intense fights, this is the Conquest Mode is the mode to jump into. Pick your hero, dive in, and start collecting those orbs.
