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.
