Winter Soldier 
My arm's itching for a fight.
Winter Soldier is a combo-based duelist in Marvel Rivals, excelling at both burst and sustained damage from mid-range. With slightly more durability than other duelists, he specializes in aggressive combat and crowd control while being able to quickly eliminate key targets. His kit revolves around his Roterstern revolver for consistent damage and his bionic arm abilities for crowd control and mobility.
His reliance on combo execution and positioning makes him vulnerable if isolated or overwhelmed by multiple enemies, requiring careful engagement timing and strong game sense.
How to play Winter Soldier in Marvel Rivals
The Roterstern revolver has only three shots before needing to reload, but your passive Ceaseless Charge automatically reloads your weapon when using abilities while granting bonus health. This creates a rhythm of firing three shots, using an ability, and repeating to maintain pressure.
Use Trooper's Fist to dash forward and knock enemies into the air, making them vulnerable to follow-up attacks. Tainted Voltage fires an electrical orb that slows enemies and forces flying targets to the ground, perfect for setting up combos or disrupting mobile heroes. Bionic Hook allows you to reel in targets, making it excellent for isolating priority targets.
Your ultimate ability, Kraken Impact, is one of the most powerful team-wiping tools in the game. It marks enemies with Culling, causing them to be executed when reaching 20% health. Each execution refreshes the ability, potentially allowing for chain kills in team fights. Time this ability carefully and coordinate with teammates who can help you secure kills to maximize its reset potential.
