Squirrel Girl
Eat nuts and kick butts.Squirrel Girl is a ranged duelist in Marvel Rivals, excelling at area control, crowd disruption, and burst damage. Her kit revolves around her Burst Acorns, which bounce off surfaces and deal splash damage, making her particularly effective in tight spaces or when targeting groups of enemies. With abilities like Tail Bounce for mobility and Squirrel Blockade to immobilize enemies, she can control the battlefield while dealing consistent damage. Her ultimate ability, Unbeatable Squirrel Tsunami, summons a horde of squirrels that ricochet off walls and structures, devastating clustered enemies.
Strategists like Adam Warlock or Mantis pair well with her, providing healing and support to keep her alive during engagements. However, Squirrel Girl's low health pool makes her vulnerable to dive-heavy heroes like Spider-Man or Black Panther, requiring careful positioning and map awareness to maximize her effectiveness.
How to play Squirrel Girl in Marvel Rivals
To play Squirrel Girl effectively, focus on using her abilities to control space and deal consistent damage from mid-range. Start fights by spamming Burst Acorns into chokepoints or areas where enemies are grouped together. The ricochet mechanic allows you to hit enemies even if they're behind cover, so aim strategically to maximize splash damage.
Use Tail Bounce to escape dangerous situations or gain high ground for better visibility and safety. Combine this with Mammal Bond when under pressure to instantly reload your acorns and reset an ability cooldown, as this can allow you to escape or turn the fight in your favor.
Squirrel Blockade should be used strategically to lock down key targets like strategists or duelists who are trying to escape or disrupt your team's formation. This ability is also effective for peeling aggressive melee heroes off your backline allies.
