Wolverine is one of the best gap closers in Marvel Rivals. If you need someone who can deal tons of damage to some of the more tankier champions in the game, Wolverine is your go-to hero to select in Marvel Rivals. According to marvelrivals.gg, Wolverine is listed under the A tier in their Duelist tier list, making him one of the better choices when looking to select a hero in this class. But what if you’re looking to counter him? Let’s take a look at the best way to Counter Wolverine in Marvel Rivals.

Wolverine’s abilities in Marvel Rivals

• Left Click: Savage Claw: Slash enemies with Adamantium claws for a claw strike. Using Feral Leap will enhance it to Berserk Claw Strike for a brief period of time.
• Q: Last Stand: Wolverine knocks enemies airborne and spirals through the air, sweeping up the enemies in the path, delivering a devastating impact at the landing point.
• Shift: Feral Leap: Leap to snatch the first enemy upon impact, smashing them into the ground in the process. Unleashing this ability will enhance his normal attack to Berserk Claw Strike for a brief period.
• Undying Animal: Wolverine unleashes a fierce howl, this briefly reduces any incoming damage. 
• Right Click: Vicious Rampage: Wolverine dashes forward with a claw strike. 
• Passive: Regenerative Healing Factor: Wolverine begins to heal and rise with a large bonus of health, removing all debuffs in the process. 
• Passive: Berserker Rage: Rage builds when Wolverine attacks or takes damage from enemy heroes, boosting the damage of his claw strikes and the bonus health regenerative healing factor.

How to bait Wolverine as a strategist

Wolverine will always be looking to either take down the main carry of the opposing team or look for the supportive heroes that are sitting in the back and buffing up the frontline. A strategist is great at baiting Wolverine into going for them, only for his abilities to be dodged and countered as your team bombards him with abilities. We suggest using a strategist if the enemy locks in Wolverine in Marvel Rivals, specifically ones that have great dodging capabilities and can disengage team fights when possible. 

The Invisible Woman is an excellent choice for taking down the Wolverine in Marvel Rivals. She is able to create space between her and Wolverine, not allowing him to do additional damage. Her agile strike can push him away if he gets too close, meaning he is not able to build up his passive and can’t heal as well as he would like. You’re also able to use Veiled Step, which propels her while also invisible, making it difficult for Wolverine to catch up to you. 

To conclude, you need to be as annoying as possible for Wolverine. He is going to want to be in your face to make the most of his claw strikes and health regeneration, otherwise, he is effectively useless. A character like the Invisible Woman is great because she can duck in and out of visibility while keeping Wolverine away from your allies.
