Marvel Rivals on the SWORL: A Hero Shooter Layout Tested for Hours
Marvel Rivals rewards fast ability usage while you keep tracking a target. Josid spent four to five hours tuning this SWORL profile so your index finger always handles must-have actions and your abilities are grouped by how often you panic-press them.

Finger-by-finger
- Index: Primary Fire / main ability and Reload: the immediate, must-have actions.
- Middle: Second ability plus quick ping for when a teammate gets jumped.
- Ring: Ability 2 on top (usually a hero's escape or self-sustain, like Luna Snow's freeze or a healing blast) and Ability 3 underneath the movement utility, which is easier to reach than the pinky.
- Pinky: Melee and a menu/back button.
- Left hand: Jump on D-pad up so jumping feels like part of movement. Ultimate and Team-Up sit toward the left index, deliberately out of the way to avoid fat-fingering your ult.
Ult on one button (PC and console)
By default the ult is L3 + R3. On PC, rebind Ultimate to a single button (Josid uses L3). On PS5, the rebind is per-hero; set it on one hero and choose the option to apply it to all heroes.

How to import a SWORL layout
- Download the .json file above, or copy the code into a text file and save it with a .json extension.
- Open the file in a text editor and change the
"profile"value to the slot you want, minus one (Profile 1 = 0, Profile 5 = 4), so you don't overwrite an existing profile. - Open the SWORL configurator, connect your SWORL and import the file.
