2★ Rare
Earth
Warrior
Gauntlet
A ruthless, battle-hardened mercenary of the Desert Kingdom who's feared even among his fellow mercenaries.
Tier: C on the Guardian Tales tier list
Cross-checked: two independent tier-list sources (Pocket Gamer, MetaTierList) both place Marvin at C-tier, agreeing with this game's-own-facts-plus-community-signal placement.
Recommended build
Vulkan is Marvin's Exclusive Weapon — equipping it is usually the single biggest damage or utility jump available, well beyond a generic weapon of the same type.
Warrior
Each one's unique Weapon Skill sets the ailment this Hero brings to a Chain Skill chain — see the Weapons page for which.
Necklace of DesireRare (2★)Attack + Weapon Skill Regen Speed — the default damage accessory
Earring of the CultistsRare (2★)Skill Damage + negates enemy Attack-down; the Colosseum/Arena pickloadoutgg pick from the game's own accessory pool — Guardian Tales does not lock an accessory to a Hero, so this is a role-based call, not an in-game pairing.
