How to Play Captain America in Marvel Rivals: 5 Key Tips

Master the Animation Cancels: Learn both the melee cancel and sprint cancel techniques for Captain America's attacks. These cancels are crucial for maximizing his damage output and mobility. Practice chaining his basic attacks with shield throws using these cancels to become a formidable force on the battlefield.
Utilize Mobility Abilities Wisely: Captain America has strong mobility with Fearless Leap and Liberty Rush. Use one ability to engage and save the other for disengaging or quickly returning to your team. This ensures you always have an escape option and don't overextend.
Protect and Peel for Your Team: While Captain America excels at diving, he's also great at protecting allies. Use his Living Legend ability (shield block) to deflect enemy projectiles, including powerful abilities like Mantis' sleep or Iron Man's ultimate. This can turn the tide of a fight and save your teammates.
Combo Your Abilities: Start engagements with Leading Dash and Vibranium Energy Saw for initial damage, then follow up with Liberty Rush and Super-Soldier Slam to close the distance. Finish off with Sentinel Strike for maximum impact.
Time Your Ultimate Strategically: Use Freedom Charge (ultimate) when your team is grouped and about to push an objective. The movement speed and health regeneration buffs can give your team the edge needed to secure a point or win a crucial teamfight.
