As a gamer with over two decades of experience under my belt, I can confidently say that the addition of Wolverine to Marvel Rivals is nothing short of exhilarating! Growing up, I was always the kid who had a soft spot for the grittier, more rugged characters, and Logan certainly fits that bill.
For many years, Wolverine has been a character that players could control in various video games. He’s often highly sought after by fans when it comes to the Marvel Rivals fighting series.
Fortunately, he’ll be at the match, and although the disclosure might come a bit late, NetEase has unveiled his abilities that harness his Berserker Rage and regenerative powers—making him tough to defeat and a formidable combatant in the field of battle.
Wolverine’s Abilities in Marvel Rivals
In this game, an interpretation closer to the comics portrays Logan as a compact and aggressive character, but despite his size, he retains the rugged allure that made Hugh Jackman’s depiction a pop culture phenomenon.
Logan was born possessing retractable claws like razors and a remarkable healing factor that kept him alive over centuries. Yet, this gentle soul was subjected to inhumane torture and scientific manipulations by the covert group Weapon X, transforming him into a weapon of devastation with an animalistic nature. Despite his harrowing past, the Wolverine has emerged stronger, dedicating himself to champion justice and protecting both mutants and humans alike.
Logan’s life grew increasingly complex as the Timestream Entanglement started wiping out realities. Now he splits his efforts, fighting against Doom 2099 and aiding displaced mutants in navigating to safety on the island of Krakoa.
As a die-hard fan, I’d say I embody the role of a formidable Duelist in this game. This label signifies my knack for dishing out heavy damage, but it also suggests I can withstand quite a pounding too. The creators have skillfully incorporated my claws and agility into the gameplay, but what truly sets me apart is my regenerative ability – even an ultimate attack from Magneto can’t faze me thanks to my healing factor!
Here’s the breakdown of his abilities (via Marvel Rivals Guide)
Wolverine attacks foes with his indestructible claws, inflicting harm while building up his secondary strike capability.
This attack appears to have been inspired by Wolverine’s moves from his “Marvel vs. Capcom” days. It involves Wolverine dashing forward and performing three slices. However, if he accumulates enough damage, Wolverine instead performs a single powerful slash forward that deals additional damage. (Paraphrased)
Wolverine leaps forcefully ahead, potentially dragging foes along. Once landed, he swiftly executes a series of rapid slashes, boosting the overall damage.
E- Healing Factor – Wolverine takes less damage and can even survive ultimates thrown at him.
It appears this attack involves Wolverine attacking three foes in succession: he leaps towards several adversaries, sends them flying high up, and then lands a final leap to forcefully smash the one down onto the ground. This impact not only harms the targeted enemy but also damages nearby foes in the vicinity.
Passive – Berserker Rage: When Wolverine’s health reaches zero, he gains extra health and a final opportunity to persist. His main attack and his forward dash become similarly powerful in this state.
Collaborative Ability – Fastball Special – Originally a move seen between Wolverine and Colossus in comic books, during a game, Wolverine can join forces with the Hulk. This results in the Hulk hurling Wolverine to a considerable distance. It seems that Wolverine would already be in his charging position when he’s thrown.
It’s challenging to identify the specific Overwatch hero that Wolverine resembles, but given his capacity to launch and reposition enemies with his attacks, he can be seen as a close-combat version of Doomfist. Likewise, his primary fire accrues energy for his secondary attack, much like Sojourn does.
See You, Mutant Cowboy
Apart from Wolverine’s abilities, fans are eager to learn that Steve Blum will lend his voice to the character Logan in Marvel Rivals. Previously, Blum voiced Wolverine in the animated series Wolverine and the X-Men, but he is most renowned for his roles as Zeb in Star Wars Rebels and Spike Spiegel in the English version of Cowboy Bebop.
Amongst the influx of X-Men entering the game, there’s a lot of speculation among fans about when the iconic character, Cyclops/Scott Summers, will make his appearance in the action.
On December 6, Wolverine is set to be added to the 33-member team of Marvel’s “Rivals,” available for play on PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5 platforms.
