Marvel Rivals Duelist · Season 10.5
Updated
Wolverine is a Duelist hero in Marvel Rivals with 350 health and a 3/5 difficulty rating. Wolverine joined the game in Season 0 on December 6, 2024. In Season 10.5 ranked, Wolverine has a 48.3% win rate (C tier, #35 of 54) and is picked by 4.4% of teams. Wolverine's team-ups are Pair of Threes (with Gambit) and Blast Slash (with Cyclops). The ultimate is Last Stand.
His basic 3.5 m claw combo deals 18 plus a slice of the target's max health, and the percentage grows with his Rage. Each hit adds 10 Rage, which makes it his best damage against high-health tanks.
His 2,800-energy ultimate launches enemies within 8 m for 50, drags them through the air, then slams down for 50 plus 10% max health and more per point of Rage, stunning for 0.75 seconds. Build Rage before casting it for the biggest landing hit.
A short 7.5 m dash into a claw strike on a 3-second cooldown, dealing a percentage of the target's max health and giving 15 Rage on a hit. Its low cooldown makes it his main way to stick to a target.
Wolverine jumps, grabs the first enemy he lands on for 35, slams them for another 35 and stuns them for 0.75 seconds. For 5 seconds afterward his claws attack much faster, so follow up immediately. Cooldown is 12 seconds.
A howl that cuts the damage he takes by 40% for 5 seconds, on a 16-second cooldown. Pop it as he dives in or when the enemy team turns on him.
A passive with a 105-second cooldown: he gets 300 bonus health for 3 seconds and sheds all debuffs, then whatever bonus health is left becomes real health and his Rage resets. Each takedown cuts 12 seconds off the cooldown.
His Rage meter, up to 100, fills when he lands attacks and when he gets hit. More Rage means harder claw hits and a stronger Last Stand landing, and it only starts to fade once it is full, so keep fighting to keep it high.

Wolverine has 2 team-up loadouts. Pick one before the match: it always works, and its enhanced effect turns on when the partner hero is on your team.
A C ability on a 20-second cooldown: for 5 seconds he moves faster, jumps 3.5 m higher and tags enemies with kinetic particles that burst for 15% of his damage. With Gambit on the team he heals 25 per second for those 5 seconds, so pick it for deep dives.
Ranked win rate with Gambit: 52.5% (+4.1 vs Wolverine's 48.3% overall, 8,316 matches)
For 8 seconds, on a 20-second cooldown, his claws reach 1 m further and Vicious Rampage becomes Kinetic Claws, a short lunge into a 1-second spinning flurry on a 3-second cooldown. With Cyclops on the team Blast Slash stays on permanently, which makes it the pick for steady brawling.
Ranked win rate with Cyclops: 49.7% (+1.3 vs Wolverine's 48.3% overall, 3,029 matches)
Wolverine has to stay within 3.5 m to hurt you, so keep him out with knockbacks, slows and walls, and focus him once Feral Leap is on its 12-second cooldown. Peni Parker and Groot handle him well because their webs, mines and walls stop a melee hero from reaching the backline. When Regenerative Healing Factor gives him 300 bonus health, back off for those 3 seconds and finish him afterward, when his Rage is back at zero and the passive is on a long cooldown.
