Oh, it’s a bird, it’s a plane. No, it’s neither. It is Iron Man raining hell down on you. This is a common occurrence in Marvel Rivals. The game features a massive roster of playable characters, but as the game slowly settles in, players find suitable metas and playstyles.

Iron Man fits into the meta and also happens to be one of the more frustrating characters to play against. The character can fly, chip away at you from a distance, and don’t even get us started on his powerful ultimate.

What we’re trying to say is that Iron Man in Marvel Rivals is really good, and you’ll be going up against him a lot. If he happens to frustrate you too, our guide should help you bring down the man in the armor. In this guide, we shall go over the best tips to counter Iron Man in Marvel Rivals. 

Tips To Counter Iron Man 

The most annoying thing about Iron Man is his ability to take flight. This makes picking fights a hindrance, as he always has the upper ground advantage on you. He has a wider area to move around while you’re locked to the ground with nowhere to run. Now, while it may feel like you’re pinned down and helpless, the fight can still be salvaged. 

Hitscan Characters Are the Key to Victory

We recommend relying on hitscan weapons, abilities, and characters. Hitscan characters are characters that use hitscans to deal damage. A hitscan is when your weapon attack directly teleports and hits the enemy. For example, regular bullets have a projectile path and trajectory that they follow. It takes a few miliseconds for the bullet to hit its target.

A hitscan bullet, however, does not follow physics. As soon as your crosshair lands on the enemy and you press LMB, the attack is registered and the enemy takes damage. Against a character like Iron Man, hitscan attacks can make all the difference. 

Characters such as Punisher, Black Widow, or even Star Lord are some of the best hitscan characters in the game. The Punisher can use his rifle to gun Iron Man down. You can also use his Zipline to head to a vantage point and eliminate Tony’s upper-ground advantage. Black Widow, too, can ground Iron Man with her rifle that deals high damage.
