Here's the Marvel Rival Settings I use when I play the game since I know someone will ask me eventually. I used the "Optimized Shadows" FPS Boost config on my road to GM for the first time, but now I use the scalability.ini below as it gives me more FPS and nicer visuals.

I FORGOT TO MENTION: I use the FPS cap option to make my FPS stable as this simply leads to a smoother gaming performance. In the case of this game, I use a limit of 125 FPS (to get a stable 120).

UPDATED SETTING: I turn on "Hold to Dash" under the thing's specific settings as it lets you insta stun around you easier

Scalability.ini that I use now (ripped directly from @TechGuides 's video linked below) [just save this as Scalability.ini and you can use this in the same way instead of downloading a file since these are just config files]:
