Marvel Rivals Out now and free to play on PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S. Hero Shooter takes inspiration from it rather shamelessly special attack. So NetEase’s swing at the genre feels like a familiar glove for long-time players of Blizzard games. However, even if you’ve spent hundreds of hours playing a similar game, there are a few different details worth keeping in mind. I put in about 15 hours Marvel Rivals During testing and in about a few hours since launch on December 5th.
Spend time on the driving range
Marvel Rivals roll out Huge lineup. There are 33 characters in the game, and it can be overwhelming to find your favorite hero. opponent The game is so fast-paced that deciphering each character’s role can also be confusing. Your best bet for finding a hero you like is to spend some time at the practice range first. Here you have full access to the entire roster and can train some robot dummies. Just a few minutes here will give you a starting point before jumping into online competition. This way you’re not completely left in the dark without any frame of reference for how the character is going to play. Of course, the best way to learn all the intricacies is to join an actual battle, but going in blind makes the entrance much more difficult.
Actually read your hero bio
Part of knowing all the heroes is learning their moves, but some of them have passive abilities that you’ll never actually press a button to activate, but are still worth knowing. From the hero select screen, you can access each character’s hero profile, which contains a simple overview of all their active and passive abilities. If you are trying to fight someone new, read these before actually starting the fight, it will be the difference between winging it and remembering some strategies on how to handle the fight.
This is an overview of currency
Marvel Rivals It’s free-to-play, which means it makes most of its revenue through microtransactions. None of the heroes are locked behind a paywall, but cosmetics like outfits, emotes, and cool intros all cost currency. There are two base currencies of equal value, the gold currency called Lattice, which can be purchased with real money, and the blue currency, called Units, which can be earned by playing games and completing challenges. Lattice can be converted into units at a 1:1 ratio, with 1 USD equivalent to 100 Lattice. You can only buy Lattice in bundles, which means you may have to overpay for something cheaper. I bought Star-Lord Guardians of the Galaxy, Vol. 3 Clothing, which sells for 1800 units, but the only bundle that covers the cost is the $20 Lattice bundle. So keep this in mind when you buy in-game currency. In addition, there are space-time tokens specifically used to unlock battle pass rewards, which you will earn through events and missions.
The battle pass has no time limit
Speaking of battle passes, Marvel Rivals Deluxe Battle Passes no longer suffer from FOMO, as you can unlock their content at any time as long as you purchase them during the season. The pass itself costs 490 coins and includes clothing and other cosmetics. So if you plan to play Marvel Rivals In the long run, if you want to unlock everything in the Battle Pass, but may need to take a break from time to time, you can buy the Battle Pass and then come back to it when you feel like it.

Working as a team can give you an advantage, but don’t feel pressured into picking heroes just for them
A salient feature of Marvel Rivals It is teamwork ability. These give certain combinations of heroes additional abilities that can give you an advantage in combat. Some are extra abilities in your back pocket, like Adam Warlock giving Mantis and Star-Lord a second life, while others like Rocket and Jeff riding on Groot’s back, losing their independent mobility in exchange for enhancements defense, which will fundamentally change how you perform in certain games. They’re great when they come naturally, and building team composition around them is a great strategy. However, they are not the end-all-be-all of strategy. Marvel Rivals. Many games can be won without artificially making characters work better together. It’s all about understanding the situation you’re in and sticking with a character you can play well enough to defeat the enemy team.
stay flexible
This wealth comes from one move of Star Lord. But do as I say, not as I do. Switching heroes is key in this type of game Marvel Rivals and special attackbut it’s easy to fall into a role that really resonates with you. However, if you’re losing a match and can’t seem to get the upper hand, it might be time to change your strategy. Part of the toxicity that permeates these games is the insistence that others on the team should shut down the person they’re playing with, and that the toxic player can’t be the problem. The truth is, sometimes it has nothing to do with player skill, some heroes are not suitable for every situation. If the enemy team is playing Black Widow, having a bunch of airborne heroes who can easily clip their wings isn’t going to win you the battle, no matter how good you are. You can have your main characters, but at least take the time to learn a few that you can replace in a pinch.
You don’t need to cover every role, but you should always have a healer
Character distribution is another controversial topic in hero shooters, as some fans prefer the flexibility to create team compositions without having to adhere to an egalitarian 2-2-2 formation. at the moment, Marvel Rivals There is no role queue that forces the team to choose two of these (Vanguard, Duelist, Strategist), but having at least one of them is a good rule of thumb when deciding who to play. My team consisted of three duelists and three strategists, but we did pretty well. However, in all of this, you should make sure that at least one (and preferably multiple) key characters are strategists. Let’s be honest, if you don’t have someone who can heal your teammates, and the Randos you’re teaming up with aren’t willing to do that, and you want any chance of winning, there’s no way you’re going to win against a decent enemy team Fight, maybe consider switching to one yourself. Yes, this sometimes means you end up being the nanny, but if there’s no one to play the medic, nothing gets done.
Don’t drip in
When you’re lost in the sauce and running on adrenaline after a chaotic battle, it’s easy to run out of spawn trying to get back into the ruins. The problem is, if you and your five teammates all do this without dying at the same time, you’ll end up being targeted one by one by the enemy as you enter their sight. If you and your team don’t come together and drive a goal as a unit, you won’t accomplish anything. Always try to act as a team, if you want to go it alone make sure you have a plan, such as flanking the enemy team or surprising them with an ultimate.
Final charges are made between rounds
One of the good differences between Marvel Rivals and special attack is the final charge transfer between rounds. This means that if you have your ultimate ready in one round, or at least close to it, you will still have the same percentage at the start of the next round. as a special attack Players, it’s become a habit to use your ultimate at the end of a turn because I might as well hear a cool voice line. It was almost a celebration of a winning round. I did this once Marvel Rivals On launch night, I realized I’d completely forgotten I still had it when the loading screen between rounds completed. So use this to your advantage as it can give you a head start when you and the enemy team descend to the next spot.
For your sanity, team up with friends
This is a generally good idea for most team-based multiplayer games. Find at least one or two friends before going online. Marvel Rivals It’s a pretty confusing game, even with a group of people on voice chat, and so far I’ve had less luck queuing alone than I usually have in games. special attack. I’ve always believed that the idea of one person playing in a team game was a power fantasy that was difficult to achieve, but it feels particularly difficult to achieve Marvel Rivals Now. Maybe the matches will become more unbalanced as players get to know the game, but for now, try to find someone who can coordinate. This way you will have a better experience.
We will conduct a full review of this Marvel Rivals That will come up in the coming days, but for now, here it is our thoughts About how NetEase’s comic book hero shooter contradicts its obvious inspiration.
