Wolverine is a Duelist hero renowned for his aggressive, close-quarters combat style. Equipped with his iconic Adamantium claws, he excels at shredding through tanky opponents, making him a formidable tank buster. His regenerative healing factor allows him to sustain prolonged engagements, while his berserker rage enhances his damage output as battles intensify.

Team-Up: Gamma Fastball

The Gamma Fastball Team-Up ability activates when The Thing or Bruce Banner (Hulk) and Wolverine are on the same team. This synergy allows to lift and hurl Wolverine up to 20 meters, enabling rapid engagement or strategic repositioning. Upon landing, Wolverine deals damage to enemies in the area, creating a disruptive and high-impact initiation. This ability is ideal for aggressive plays, enabling Wolverine to engage quickly and wreak havoc in the enemy’s ranks. The coordination between The Thing or Bruce Banner (Hulk) and Wolverine is crucial to maximize the effectiveness of this maneuver.

How to Play Wolverine in Marvel Rivals: 5 Key Tips

Master Feral Leap for Ambushes: Use Feral Leap to surprise enemies, pulling them towards you and setting up for quick eliminations. This ability is crucial for initiating fights and disrupting enemy formations.
Manage Berserker Rage: Build up your rage meter by dealing or taking damage to enhance your damage output. At maximum rage, Wolverine becomes nearly unstoppable, dealing significant damage with his Berserk Claw Strikes.
Utilize Undying Animal for Survival: Activate Undying Animal to reduce incoming damage temporarily. This ability helps Wolverine survive in intense situations, allowing him to stay in fights longer and build more rage.
Play as a Flanker: Wolverine excels at flanking rather than frontal assaults. Use his mobility to target squishy enemies like Strategists or ranged Duelists, then retreat before being overwhelmed.
Time Last Stand Wisely: Use Last Stand when you have built up significant rage and are in a safe position to avoid being interrupted. This ultimate can turn the tide of a fight by launching enemies into the air and dealing massive damage upon landing.
