In this guide, we shall go over Wolverine in Marvel Rivals, his various abilities, playstyles, combos, survivability, and more.
Wolverine is a hot-headed, violent mutant in all media, and these characteristics have landed him the role of Duelist in Marvel Rivals. The character’s brash personality and fighting style make him one of the most fun characters to play in the game.
Despite appearing simple to play at a glance, Wolverine requires a lot of thinking and nuance to use effectively. While he can rush into fights head-first using his attacking abilities, he is also somewhat of a tank in effect and can absorb large amounts of punishment.
The character is super unique and has a lot of pros and cons that you need to keep in mind while playing him. In this guide, we shall go over everything Wolverine in Marvel Rivals. We shall take a look at his various abilities, how to play him, his survivability in the middle of battle, team compositions, and more.
All Abilities of Wolverine in Marvel Rivals
Wolverine has the following abilities in his arsenal:
| Ability | Effect |
| Savage Claw (LMB) | Slash with Adamantium claws for a Claw Strike. |
| Last Stand (Q) | Knock enemies airborne and spiral through the air, sweeping up enemies along the path and delivering a devastating impact at the landing point. |
| Feral Leap (Shift) | Leap and snatch the first enemy upon impact to smash them to the ground. Unleashing this ability will enhance his normal attack to Berserk Claw Strike for a brief period. |
| Undying Animal (E) | Unleash a fierce howl to briefly reduce incoming damage. |
| Vicious Rampage (RMB) | Dash forward and unleash a Claw Strike. |
| Regenerative Healing Factor (Passive) | Begin to heal and rise with a hefty Bonus Health, shaking off all debuffs. After a brief moment, any remaining Bonus Health morphs into a one-off heal, zeroing out his Rage. Assists in KOs reduce this cooldown. |
| Berserker Rage (Passive) | Rage builds when Wolverine attacks or takes hits, boosting the damage of his Claw Strikes and the Bonus Health from his regenerative healing factor. |
How to Play Wolverine in Marvel Rivals
Wolverine’s Mobility
Wolverine’s mobility is greatly limited due to his lack of flying abilities or tools. At best, he can use the Feral Leap, a mid-range lunge in which he dives head-first into the enemy. His Vicious Rampage strike is similar but can cover slightly longer ranges.
However, Logan dashes straight into the direction you aim at and there is no possibility of switching directions once locked in. The two abilities are used less for moving around the map and more for closing in tight gaps quickly. As such, Logan has very few tools to maneuver around the map and relies on sprinting from point A to point B.
Wolverine’s Survivability
Wolverine comes packed with a massive 300 HP health bar, far above the standard 250 other Duelists boast. This makes him a borderline tank heading into battle, greatly increasing his survivability. Wolverine is a short-range fighter that utilizes melee.
As a result, he is always at the center of battle and exposed to all forms of attack. Thankfully, he comes with a regenerative healing ability that helps him even the odds. The healing ability, paired with his massive health bar, makes Logan a near-indestructible tank in battle.
Wolverine Playstyle and Combos
Logan has always been one for unbridled rage and aggression and this has carried over to Marvel Rivals. Wolverine’s playstyle will often see you squaring up with other players up close and personal. The limited range of his claws ensures that battles are fought at close range. You will frequently find yourself closing in gaps and tanking damage to build up rage. He is best used as a secondary Duelist or as an off-tank, in case your party is only running a single Vanguard.
As far as combos are concerned, we recommend using the Feral Leap to close in the distance quickly before using his Savage Claw strikes. Then, follow the strikes up with the Last Stand to deal massive damage. This combo ensures that Logan is constantly on the move and makes him harder to hit while also allowing you to deal large damage.
Best Team Composition with Wolverine in Marvel Rivals
Wolverine is a melee fighter, and the following characters complement his playstyle.
| Role | Character |
| Duelist | The Punisher, Black Widow |
| Vanguard | Groot, Dr Strange |
| Strategist | Jeff, Rocket Raccoon |
Wolverine works best with Duelists such as the Punisher. The Punisher’s smoke grenade forms a smoke screen, which allows Logan to jump in on unsuspecting enemies. The character can also cover Wolverine from a distance using his rifle, much like Black Widow. Logan also works in perfect sync with characters such as Groot. Groot can create effective chokepoints that can leave enemies vulnerable to ambushes from Wolverine.
Dr Strange can shield Logan and push in sync, helping him close gaps. Finally, Logan can pair up his passive healing through healing provided by Rocket and Jeff. Both characters can effectively heal up Wolverine from a mid to long-range distance, allowing him to wreak havoc with minimal punishment.
Wolverine Counters in Marvel Rivals
Wolverine can be effectively countered and neutered by avoiding getting in melee range. Characters like Iron Man can effectively take to the skies and chip away at Logan’s HP. Wolverine’s abilities also come with large cooldowns, which can leave him exposed to damage from long-range.
Black Widow can also deal with Wolverine from a distance. As such, any character that can stay out of range can deal with Logan. Characters who can take flight are best for this, as there is very little Logan can do to even the odds in the air.
Tips and Tricks to Play Wolverine in Marvel Rivals
As we’ve stated several times in this article, Wolverine fights in melee range. Keep that in mind, alongside the tips and tricks listed below to clinch the victory:
- Leap as often as you can. The lunge is fast and aggressive and, more often than not, throws the enemy off guard.
- Positioning is key. Maneuver around the map and make sure that you leave no end exposed to long-range characters.
- Play him as an off-tank, using him to push into areas and occupy space, causing havoc in the enemy ranks.
