Jeff the Land Shark13.86%44.38%
Squirrel Girl2.93%44.78%
Moon Knight9.53%46.35%

Scarlet Witch6.25%46.97%
Venom14.65%47.56%
Winter Soldier6.49%47.97%
Wolverine1.95%48.04%

Many on this list suffer from low pick rates, impacting their win percentages. However, Jeff the Land Shark, Cloak & Dagger, and Venom stand out. The first two, despite being healers, lack the unique abilities of other Strategists. Jeff's Ultimate Attack nerf in Season 2 might further decrease his win rate. Venom, the sole tank on this list, excels at absorbing damage but often lacks the offensive power to secure victories. Fortunately, a Season 1 buff will enhance his Ultimate Attack's base damage.
