Wolverine is a popular Duelist in Marvel Rivals who excels in one-on-one combat; he can use his melee attacks to easily defeat opponents. Besides his powerful Adamantium claws, Wolverine in Marvel Rivals has a health regeneration ability, called Healing Factor, which makes him harder to take down. He can keep fighting and survive for sustained periods. So, seeing the hero on the opponent’s team can be quite intimidating.

To solve this issue, this article details which heroes in the roster work best when you are looking to counter Wolverine. We will also provide additional tips and strategies to help you prevent Wolverine’s onslaught.

5 Heroes To Counter Wolverine in Marvel Rivals

1. Star-Lord

Star-Lord can use his rocket propulsion system to stay airborne and out of Wolverine’s attack range for considerable periods. His ultimate ability, Galactic Legend, extends his ability to remain in the air, while also locking into his targets. So, you shouldn’t face too much trouble avoiding Wolverine’s claws, while attacking him from range.

2. Iron Man

Like Star-Lord, Iron Man can use his thrusters to go up in the air, staying just out of reach of Wolverine’s devastating attacks. Once he is at a safe distance, you can use the array of long-range attacks that the character possesses, such as Unibeam, Invincible Pulse Cannon, and more.

3. Winter Soldier

If you pick Winter Soldier, you can use his powerful stun lock ability, which can limit Wolverine’s movements. Once stunned, Winter Soldier’s attacks have enough brute strength to down Wolverine. However, keep in mind that Wolverine is also a natural counter for Winter Soldier, so be careful that your opponent does not turn the tables on you in this encounter.

4. Luna Snow

With Luna Snow, you have to rely on her Freeze abilities. This will again stop Wolverine in the tracks, preventing him from targeting a member of your team and dealing exceptional levels of damage. While frozen, you can inflict tons of damage on Wolverine and down the hero.

5. Spider-Man

One hero who can eliminate Wolverine’s movement is Spider-Man — thanks to his web pulls. This will give you enough time to focus on the attack and take out the duelist before he can recover and go on the offensive.

  • Wolverine relies on melee attacks, so keep your distance and focus on range attacks.
  • Once Wolverine uses Vicious Rampage and Feral Leap, waste no time to attack him. At this point, he will be unable to evade your attacks.
