Marvel Rivals: How To Counter Wolverine

In Marvel Rivals, Wolverine is part of the Duelist roster, just as you’d imagine from the films. True to form, he brings chaos to his adversaries within the game. His unique traits such as Regenerative Healing Factor, powerful melee attacks, and agility allow him to swiftly shift the battle in his favor.

Fortunately for us, he possesses specific weaknesses. As opponents discover and utilize these weaknesses, it becomes challenging for him to devise successful responses, rendering him ineffective in the end. If you’re interested in learning strategies to counteract Wolverine in Marvel Rivals, continue reading below.

Countering Wolverine

It’s no surprise that Logan’s claws, swift moves, and ability to heal can leave one feeling overpowered. Primarily, he concentrates on attacking the backline of the battlefield, where the Duelists and Strategists are typically positioned. With his skills, Wolverine effectively hinders the enemy team from advancing towards the objective.

As a gamer, I’ve come to learn that playing Wolverine isn’t just about button mashing; there are several quirks tied to this iconic character. To truly master him, you need to grasp his combat style. For instance, Logan thrives in one-on-one fights because of his melee attacks and short-range abilities. This preference also stems from the fact that he can use his mobility to separate certain characters from their team. Keep in mind, even some Vanguards aren’t immune to Wolverine’s claws!

With his Regenerative Ability, Wolverine maintains a steady health level even in the heat of combat, enhancing his overall power. Furthermore, his Feline Jump and Savage Charge enable him to swiftly cover distances effectively.

From the points given, it’s straightforward to understand Wolverine’s weaknesses. If opponents manage to hinder his mobility, they can leave him vulnerable for a brief period. Additionally, given that Wolverine shines in close-quarter fights, characters skilled in long-range combat pose a significant threat to him.

Furthermore, aerial-focused heroes pose a significant threat – this much is clear. Lastly, when Logan manages to surprise you, quick-moving characters can evade his assaults, rendering his skills less effective in combat situations.

How to Counter Wolverine

Below you’ll find a roster of characters, each displaying the specific qualities required to challenge Wolverine in Marvel Duels.

Here’s a collection of heroes and villains equipped with the characteristics that make them formidable opponents for Wolverine within the Marvel Rivals series.

1. Magneto (Duelist)

Because Magneto acts as a Leader figure, his robust health advantage puts him at an upper hand when facing off against Wolverine. However, there’s more to his effectiveness than just that. Magneto’s collection of abilities is special; it shields him and his allies while also generating space for teammates by dishing out damage.

The initial skill players should be aware of is the “Metallic Barrier” created by Magneto to obstruct Wolverine’s assaults. On the offensive side, Magneto’s ability called “Meteor M” can prove very beneficial, as it disturbs or halts Logan’s attacks and pushes him out of combat.

2. Doctor Strange (Vanguard)

One significant factor contributing to Wolverine’s troublesome nature stems from his inherent talent, often referred to as the Regenerative Healing Factor. This unique trait enables him to recover rapidly, causing annoyance for his adversaries. However, Doctor Strange excels in dealing with such challenges.

Using Strange’s Eye of Agamatto power in the game, players can specifically nullify Logan’s automatic healing mechanism because his soul is detached from his body. This unique condition allows gamers to directly assault him during his momentary vulnerability, despite the fact that this window of opportunity is short-lived.

As a gamer, I’ve found an intriguing aspect about Doctor Strange. Just like Magneto, he can ward off Wolverine’s attacks. Using his Shield of the Seraphim, he creates a protective shield that nullifies any combos Wolverine, the X-Man, might throw at it.

Ultimately, because the Sorcerer Supreme’s resilience is so robust, stemming from his immense health reserves, it proves challenging for Wolverine to defeat him, leading to a formidable fight between the two.

3. Hela (Duelist)

Although Hela shares similarities with Wolverine as a Duelist, unlike our earlier characters, she doesn’t have an extensive health pool. However, this doesn’t make it easy for the X-Man to defeat her.

Specifically due to her exceptional skills, Hela can not only momentarily incapacitate Logan (Wolverine), but also inflict heavy damage on him at the same time. By using Soul Drainer, Hela renders Wolverine unconscious, effectively ending all his combos and leaving him unable to move, thus creating an opportunity for her and her teammates to follow up with additional attacks and cause further harm.

This skill works exceptionally well against Wolverine, as it essentially bridges the distance between him and his adversaries. Temporarily rendering him motionless leaves him incapable of action for a short while.

Moreover, two distinctive qualities set the Asgardian Goddess apart in challenging the X-Man, Wolverine. Initially, her capacity to fly and maintain herself airborne poses difficulties for Wolverine to approach or inflict significant damage using his powerful melee techniques. Secondly, her formidable arsenal of abilities, such as the Goddess of Death, enables Hela to dish out consistent damage against Logan, even from a distance.

4. Luna Snow (Strategist)

Regardless of having a secondary position, Luna Snow possesses skills that allow her to neutralize Wolverine for both herself and her team. Using powers such as Absolute Zero, she can freeze Logan in place, thereby creating an opportunity for her team to inflict substantial damage on the character.

When Wolverine goes for a tackle on me (as Luna), I can leverage my Ice Arts skill to self-heal and extend my lifeline, giving me an edge in countering his attacks, thwarting his abilities, and slipping away from him in the heat of battle.
