Wolverine 
I told you I'm the best.
Wolverine is an aggressive tank-shredding duelist in Marvel Rivals, specializing in disrupting enemy formations and eliminating high-health targets. His kit revolves around percentage-based damage that makes him particularly effective against vanguards, while his mobility allows him to isolate and eliminate key targets. His passive ability, Berserker Rage, builds up as he attacks or takes damage, increasing his claw damage and healing potential.
Wolverine thrives in team compositions that can support his aggressive playstyle. He also works well with healers like Jeff the Land Shark, whose healing bubbles provide safe zones for Wolverine to retreat to after diving.
How to play Wolverine in Marvel Rivals
Instead of using abilities to engage, walk into fights to preserve your cooldowns for crucial moments. Use Vicious Rampage for quick repositioning or as part of your damage combo, and save Undying Animal for when you need the 50% damage reduction to survive focused fire.
Key to Wolverine's success is understanding when to engage and when to retreat. While his kit enables aggressive plays, overextending can lead to quick elimination. Focus on isolating and eliminating key targets, particularly targeting bulky high health characters who are most vulnerable to your percentage-based damage. When playing objective modes, use your mobility to harass the enemy backline while maintaining the ability to quickly return to the objective.
By mastering his mobility tools, managing Berserker Rage effectively, and choosing engagements carefully, Wolverine becomes a formidable force in Marvel Rivals, capable of turning team fights through strategic target elimination and objective control.
