This guide will explain how to play Adam Warlock in Marvel Rivals, covering his abilities, combos, counters, and more.
Marvel Rivals’ Adam Warlock is a Strategist hero that is capable of creating a link between allies. The link allows those connected to receive healing and distributes the damage they received to each other. This is especially good if you have a durable Vanguard that can tank a lot of damage for your whole team.
He is not the most efficient healer, but he does have a few tricks up his sleeve. One of these is reviving allies and granting them brief invulnerability. He can also choose his own respawn location. This is very useful if you want to reposition or scout areas for enemies before you respawn.
This guide will explain how to play Adam Warlock in Marvel Rivals. We’ll also be talking a bit about his abilities, combos, counters, and a few tips and tricks to achieve the next evolution of humanity.

How To Play Adam Warlock in Marvel Rivals
Mobility of Adam Warlock
Adam Warlock in Marvel Rivals lacks mobility. This is why proper positioning is very important. Once the enemy sees you as a threat, you can’t easily escape their attacks. Make sure you are always keeping a safe distance during fights and don’t stand out too much.
Use his Regenerative Cocoon to your advantage by moving around the map. Try to resurrect in a favorable position where the enemy doesn’t see you.
Never roam around the map without a nearby ally. You don’t stand a ghost of a chance alone, as you don’t have any means of escaping when an enemy decides to target you.
Survivability of Adam Warlock
Adam Warlock in Marvel Rivals features more than just healing in his kit. His Soul Bond ability can also distribute damage taken to other allies. Include your team’s Vanguard when linking allies so they can serve as damage sponges.
Of course, don’t forget to heal your allies because a dead Vanguard won’t be able to help anyone or tank any damage.
Adam Warlock’s Playstyle and Combos
One of the few things you need to consider is that Adam Warlock can’t be the first to die. His revive effect needs to be ready when a fight starts. If you do die first and your allies lose the fight, make sure to respawn where they died and immediately resurrect them before the enemy gets the time to react.
Always use your Soul Bond ability to target as many allies as you can. The more allies linked, the more efficient this ability is at distributing damage and healing.
Best Team Compositions With Adam Warlock in Marvel Rivals
Adam Warlock in Marvel Rivals works best when paired with Star-Lord due to their Team-Up ability. This Duelist loves to play aggressively. Being able to revive himself at a moment’s notice is very useful when he gets knocked out in battle.
Mantis, another Strategist hero, also has a Team-Up effect with the perfect specimen. With these two combined, they can funnel their supportive abilities onto Star-Lord so he can be bolder when engaging with enemies in a fight. Of course, you can’t forget about your other allies, especially the Vanguard.
Adam Warlock Counters in Marvel Rivals
Spider-Man, Venom, Magik, and Black Panther are some of the hard counters for Adam Warlock in Marvel Rivals. Due to this strategist’s lack of mobility, he is very easy to pick off.
You can cast as much healing as you can, but if you don’t have any teammates around to help, you are simply delaying the inevitable. This is why you should try not to stand out too much.
Tips and Tricks To Play Adam Warlock in Marvel Rivals
Here are a few tips and tricks you can use when playing Adam Warlock in Marvel Rivals:
- If you are not casting any ability, constantly use Quantum Magic. If you have time to channel attacks, use Cosmic Cluster instead for more damage.
- You can hide in a corner and charge your Cosmic Cluster, then peek and target enemies before hiding again.
- You have no mobility. Stick with your allies. They can protect you, and you can support them with your healing and revive effects.
- You don’t have to try and revive all your teammates. Focus on reviving the ones who have the best chance to control the fight.
- You are locked in an animation and can’t move while using your Karmic Revival. You can be killed while in this state. Be careful when using it during a team fight.
