If you’re grinding Marvel Rivals and dreaming of that shiny LORD Rank, I’ve got some good news—getting there doesn’t have to be a struggle. In fact, I managed to climb to Lord Rank faster than expected, just by approaching the grind strategically. Let me walk you through exactly what worked for me, so you can level up efficiently and save yourself hours of unnecessary chaos.
My Journey to LORD Rank: Simple but Strategic
When I first set out to hit LORD Rank, I thought it was all about playing endlessly and letting the XP pile up. But I quickly realized that grinding mindlessly wasn’t the answer. The key was focusing on the right tasks, using the right heroes, and playing the right game mode.
Take Hela for example—she was my main for most of the climb. Like every hero in Marvel Rivals, Hela has her own proficiency tasks that directly contribute to your XP and progress toward Lord Rank.
Here’s what I discovered.
Step 1: Focus on Hero-Specific Proficiency Tasks
Each hero has a list of proficiency tasks that reward you with XP when completed. For Hela, these included:
-
✅ Using the hero for 60 minutes
-
✅ Dealing 11,000 damage
-
✅ Landing 12 final hits
-
✅ Stunning 6 enemies with Soul Drainer
At first glance, these might sound time-consuming—but the trick isn’t just completing them, it’s doing it as efficiently as possible.
Step 2: Play the Right Game Mode – Conquest
If you’re serious about leveling up fast, Conquest mode is your best friend.
Why? Because:
-
🕒 It’s longer than most other modes
-
⚔️ It offers plenty of chaos and more player interactions
-
🎯 There’s more opportunity to complete multiple proficiency tasks in one go
Unlike quick matches that end just as you’re getting into rhythm, Conquest gives you time to focus on grinding specific objectives without constantly restarting.
Step 3: Use Smart Tactics (Not Just Time)
Here’s a trick I used that made a big difference:
When a new Conquest match starts, I immediately sneak toward the enemy spawn point. Believe it or not, you’ll often find AFK players just standing there. It’s the perfect moment to:
-
☑️ Rack up final hits
-
☑️ Trigger ability-based tasks (like Soul Drainer)
-
☑️ Farm quick damage early in the game
This method worked incredibly well for completing the “12 final hits” and “stun 6 enemies” objectives with Hela—sometimes within a single match.
Step 4: Be Repetitive—but With Intention
Yes, you’ll be doing similar tasks over and over, but when you focus only on what moves the XP bar, it no longer feels like a waste of time. Every game becomes a focused mission:
-
Choose one hero
-
Track your progress on their task list
-
Go into Conquest mode
-
Target one or two tasks at a time
-
Rinse and repeat
Once you knock out all of a hero’s proficiency objectives, switch to the next hero and repeat the process.
Bonus Tip: Monitor Your Progress
Don’t forget to regularly check your Proficiency Tab. Seeing how close you are to each milestone can help you prioritize what to go after next.
Also, don’t waste time trying to complete all tasks in one match. Sometimes it’s faster to focus on one or two goals, finish them, and queue up for the next game.
Final Thoughts: LORD Rank Is Within Reach
Getting LORD Rank in Marvel Rivals 2025 isn’t about endless grinding—it’s about smart grinding. With the right strategy, the right hero, and efficient gameplay in Conquest mode, you’ll be climbing ranks faster than most players even realize.
Whether you main Hela like I did or another character, the approach stays the same:
🎯 Target tasks → 📈 Gain XP → 👑 Hit LORD Rank.
Let me know which hero you’re using to climb, and if you’ve found any other tricks that work just as well. Happy ranking, and I’ll see you in the arena!
