In terms of the MCU, Black Widow is one of the more popular characters, but how does she compare to the hit game Marvel Rivals? As you would expect, she is an excellent hero to use under the right pair of hands. Black Widow is for players who enjoy heroes who are light on their feet while still packing an amazing punch. She is great at dealing with enemies that can go air-born such as an Iron Man. But what if you want to counter this slippery Duelist? Let’s show you the best way to counter Black Widow in Marvel Rivals. 

Black Widow’s Abilities in Marvel Rivals

• Left Click: Widow’s Bite Baton: Strike an enemy with the enhanced electric batons.
• Left Click: Red Room Rifle: Attacks enemies with the Red Room Rifle.
• Q: Electro-Plasma Explosion: With the Red Room Rifle, Black Widow can switch the ewapon to destruction mode, unleashing an electro-plasma blast. This blast damages enemies within range, leaving plasma on the ground that slows nearby enemies.
• Shift: Fleet Foot: Black Widow dashes forward, enabling a powerful jump.
• E: Edge Dancer: Black Widow unleashes a spinning kick to knock enemies airborne. Landing the hit will allow her to zip to the target with a grappling hook, which then triggers a second kick.
• Right Click: Straight Shooter: Black Widow changes the Red Room Rifle into sniper mode to fire high-energy rounds. 

How to counter Black Widow as Rocket Raccoon 

If you’re looking for a hero that Black Widow is going to have a horrid time against, then we advise picking Rocket Raccoon as a counter to Black Widow in Marvel Rivals. With most of Black Widow’s rifle abilities being a skill shot, you need to make yourself as small as possible. This is why Rocket is an excellent choice when going up against Black Widow. 

Rocket is one of the smallest heroes in the game, and will make for a difficult target. On top of that, he can ascend to the skies, which makes it that much harder for Black Widow with a rifle to try and take him down while he is flying across the screen with Black Widow being a grounded hero. Any damage that Black Widow does put out can be negated through Rocket’s Repair mode, which heals allies whenever he fires the bouncing spheres.

Overall, Rocket is an amazing choice to counter Black Widow. He will make it very hard for Black Widow to shoot him out of the sky, while also providing enough healing for her damage to be useless.
