If you want to hit Lord rank and unlock the coolest rewards for your favorite hero in Marvel Rivals this guide will walk you through the Hero Proficiency System and how you can level up your hero to Lord.

What is Hero Proficiency?

The Hero Proficiency System is a way to level up each hero by completing specific challenges. These challenges test how well you play the hero and reward you with unique cosmetics like sprays, avatars, and KO prompts as you rank up.

How to Level Up and Unlock Rewards

Go to the Heroes Tab
- From the main menu, click on Heroes and choose the hero you want to level up.
- Click on the Proficiency tab (on the far right) to see your rank and current challenges.
Ranks and Challenges
- Ranks start at Agent and go up to Knight, Captain, Centurion, and finally Lord.
- Each rank has different challenges you need to complete, like:
  - Hero usage time (e.g., play the hero for a certain number of minutes).
  - KO and assist count (e.g., get 80 KOs or assists).
  - Special hero abilities (e.g., use the hero’s ultimate on a certain number of enemies).
Challenges get harder as you climb ranks. For example, early ranks might require 15 KOs, but higher ranks will need 75 KOs or more.

Rewards for Each Rank

Sprays: At Knight rank, you unlock a spray that matches your hero.
KO Prompts: At Captain rank, you get a special KO prompt that changes the icon and color. When you reach Centurion rank, the KO prompt gets cool animations, like water effects for Jeff or vines for Groot.
Avatars: The final reward for reaching Lord rank is a unique animated avatar. This icon shows up next to your HP bar during games and even when selecting your hero in the lobby (way cooler than the default icons).

Tips to Reach Lord Rank Faster

Focus on One Hero at a Time
- Stick with one hero you enjoy playing. This makes completing challenges faster and more fun.
Complete Repeatable Challenges
- Some challenges, like hero usage time, can be repeated after a cooldown. Rotate between heroes if you hit a cooldown, then come back later.
Play Consistently
- This system rewards consistent play. The more you play, the closer you get to Lord rank.

Final Blurb

Reaching Lord rank is worth it if you love unique cosmetic rewards. Not many players have the special Lord avatar, so it’s a great way to stand out in the game. Plus, it’s completely free and all you need is time and dedication.

Have fun ranking up, and good luck unlocking those exclusive rewards!
