5 Counters for The Punisher in Marvel Rivals
Here is a list of characters that can counter the Punisher in Marvel Rivals:
- Hela
- Namor
- Star-Lord
- Spider-Man
- Loki
In-depth explanations about these counters can be found below.
Hela
Considering how slow Punisher is due to his lack of mobility in his kit, Hela can easily counter him in Marvel Rivals. She excels in throwing down a combo that devastating damage. Without any escape mechanics other than his Vintage Connection, Punisher can’t do much and would easily get taken down. Additionally, due to his bulky body build, Punisher’s hitbox is easy to hit using Hela.
Namor
Namor is another hero who can easily counter the Punisher with his AoE abilities. His summons can also be annoying to deal with, especially when he casts Wrath of the Seven Seas, which transfers all aggro from his summons toward his target hero. This hero event has a barrier, allowing him to tank some damage. It’s not the strongest, but he can serve as a quick bait so his summons can focus on attacking his target.
Star-Lord
There is a good reason why Star-Lord is regarded as the strongest Duelist in the meta. His mobility makes him hard to catch. He can also close the gap easily and burst you down with a rain of bullets. Hence Punisher struggles to deal with this hero as he is slow, especially when using Culling Turret or Final Judgement.
Spider-Man
Spider-Man is a good hero to counter to the Punisher due to his ability to quickly close gaps. His ability, Get Over Here!, allows him to pull himself towards the target. If they are marked with Spider-Tracer, he can pull his targets to him instead. This makes him quite dangerous as the Punisher struggles to deal with enemies in close range.
Loki
Most would think killing the Punisher fast is the best way to counter him in Marvel Rivals. However, one of the best ways to counter this hero is by giving your allies enough healing to survive his attacks. This is why Loki is on this list.
This hero can cast a Regeneration Domain that not only heals allies but also converts incoming damage into additional healing. If the going gets tough, he can use his Ultimate, God of Mischief, to copy Puniher or any hero that can counter him. The possibilities are endless with Loki. This means Loki can easily provide his allies with opportunities to attack the Punisher without any risk.
