If you’ve spent any time playing Marvel Rivals, you’ve probably noticed the Ace notification popping up during matches. It shows up in two different places – sometimes on the scoreboard, other times as a big announcement during gameplay.
The term means different things in each case, and knowing the difference helps you understand how well you’re performing. Let’s look at exactly what Ace means and how you can get it yours
An Ace Kill happens when you manage to take down all six players on the enemy team in quick succession. It’s one of the most satisfying achievements you can get during a match, and you’ll know you’ve done it when you see the “Ace” notification pop up on your screen.
Getting an Ace Kill isn’t easy – you need to time your attacks perfectly and really know how to use your hero’s abilities. Here are some reliable ways to get an Ace Kill:
The most effective way to get an Ace Kill is by combining ultimate abilities with your teammates. For example, you can use Doctor Strange’s portal to help Scarlet Witch sneak behind enemy lines and unleash her ultimate ability. Another powerful combo is using Groot’s ultimate with Moon Knight – if you catch the whole enemy team in the crowd control effects, you’ve got a good chance at wiping them out.
The other type of Ace you’ll see in Marvel Rivals appears as an icon on the scoreboard. This one has nothing to do with team wipes – instead, it shows who’s currently performing the best in the match.
When you see the Ace icon next to someone’s name, it means they’re leading in overall performance. This could be because they have:
The Ace icon isn’t permanent – it can switch between players throughout the match as performance levels change. Think of it as a preview of who might end up getting MVP (Most Valuable Player) or SVP (Secondary Valuable Player) at the end of the game.
Remember, while getting Aces feels great, winning the match is what really matters. Don’t get too focused on chasing these achievements if it means putting your team at a disadvantage.
Now that you understand both types of Ace in Marvel Rivals, you can work on achieving them while still playing effectively for your team. Keep practicing those team combinations, and you’ll be seeing that Ace notification more often.
