The definitive Marvel Rivals movement guide

Marvel Rivals ^[1] is a hero shooter, which means the game has all sorts of characters players can control. From Spider-Man to the Hulk, it’s only natural that some characters have more mobility and abilities that let them move faster than others. It’s crucial to properly utilize the movement mechanics every unique character brings to the table.

Today, we’re here to go through a guide that covers some of the hardest-to-control characters in Marvel Rivals. In this definitive movement guide, we’ll cover how players can properly play as characters like Spider-Man and Luna Snow to move from one place to another quickly while also doing the job their role demands.

So, without any further ado, here’s the definitive Marvel Rivals movement guide.

Spider-Man

Spider-Man arguably has the most agility and mobility in Marvel Rivals, making him an incredible choice for players who value speed. His Web-Swing ability lets him shoot webbing at structures and swing from it. Players who need more precision with the ability can go to their character-specific settings and disable auto-swing. Doing this will allow them to shoot their webs and zip if they aim downwards precisely.

Players forget to utilize Spider-Man’s Wall Crawl ability despite not having cooldowns. It allows users to climb and run on surfaces vertically and horizontally, making it a spectacular tool to gank enemies or retreat. These abilities combined with his double jump, make Spider-Man one of the most versatile and mobile characters in Marvel Rivals.

Hulk

Although Hulk is a Vanguard, he has a lot of mobility. His ability to perform huge leaps lets him cover big distances quickly to chase enemies or retreat. One ability that many players don’t know Hulk has is wall-jumping. When Hulk jumps on a wall, he can stick to it and charge another jump, allowing him to reach airborne enemies like Iron Man or reposition to somewhere higher.

Moon Knight

Moon Knight’s mobility toolkit consists of grappling hooks and aerial moves, giving him a unique traversal style. His Moonlight Hooks lets him latch onto targets or surfaces and pull himself forward, making it a nice tool for engaging enemies or escaping. He can glide using his Night Glider, which lets him scout the map or reposition.

Like Spider-Man, Moon Knight has a double jump ability to dodge attacks or reach high ground. Players should try not to use all of their abilities in quick succession because it can leave them immobile temporarily due to cooldowns. Even though Moon Knight has that limitation, he still has excellent mobility, which makes him versatile.

Star-Lord

Star-Lord has the best mobility in aerial combat alongside Iron Man. His ultimate ability allows him to fly freely while locking into enemies to spray them, similar to Soldier 76 from Overwatch. It’s a great tool to gather information even if the player doesn’t get kills because intel allows the team to make informed decisions.

Star-Lord has Rocket Propulsion and Stellar Shift, two more abilities that provide speed boosts. The former allows him to dash forward temporarily, letting the player engage opponents or retreat, depending on the situation. The latter ability moves Star-Lord in any direction, granting immunity for a second or two, making it another option for pushing or escaping.

Luna Snow

Luna Snow can heal her teammates while quickly traversing the map with her mobility. Her Smooth Skate ability increases her movement speed, allowing her to move across the map quicker than other characters on foot. This passive skating ability helps Luna avoid enemy fire and lets her jump higher than usual to navigate numerous obstacles and reach better positions.

Luna’s speed ensures that players can heal their teammates using her with her ice shards. Her ability to quickly return to the frontlines after dying makes her a reliable support who can support teammates for extended periods.

Wolverine

Wolverine’s mobility works well with his aggressive and melee-focused playstyle. His Feral Leap is an ability that lets him close gaps quickly by jumping toward enemies and hitting a flurry of attacks. Vicious Rampage is a dash attack with a strong claw strike, which is spectacular for pushing opponents or escaping from danger.

If the player has Hulk as a teammate, they can pick up Wolverine and throw them far due to a Team Combo, enhancing his mobility. Although he’s not the fastest character, his speed, and agility are great for a duelist because it lets him fulfill his role.

Rocket Raccoon

Rocket Raccoon is a fast Strategist like Luna Snow, combining small size with fast speed. His Jetpack Dash ability lets him go forward or upward, providing rapid repositioning options. Players can use this dash to escape danger, return to allies needing healing, or hover for a bit to deal damage.

He can climb on walls with his Wild Crawl ability, so he can navigate the map in creative ways using it. Players should learn to utilize this to reach high ground and assist teammates. Finally, Flying Ace can let Rocket slowly descend when he holds the jump button, allowing him to heal or damage people.

Venom

Even though Venom is a Vanguard, he has high mobility thanks to his Venom Swing ability. It works like Spider-Man’s Web Swing but with a longer cooldown. A great thing about Venom is that he has his Frenzied Arrival ability, which lets him slam into the ground from above and deal damage, making it great for mobility and fights. 

Venom can run and crawl on walls like Spider-Man, adding great verticality to his kit. Players should use that ability to reach a high area and combine it with Frenzied Arrival to deal AoE damage. Venom’s mobility-focused abilities make him a unique Vanguard who can tank damage while moving across the map.

General tips

Where the player should position themselves depends on what role they’re playing. Vanguards should ensure they’re in a place that lets them protect teammates while getting healed from Strategists. Strategists must stay where their allies can keep them safe, and Duelists must be behind cover or in line of sight of their healers.

FAQs

Who’s the fastest character in Marvel Rivals?

Marvel Rivals has many fast characters, though Spider-Man arguably has the potential to be the fastest. This is largely thanks to his swinging abilities that allow him to quickly get from one point to another. While Venom also has swinging mechanics, he’s slower than Spider-Man.

Additionally, characters like Iron Man can quickly fly in the air. However, the issue with that is that he has a charge for his flying ability. This means he can fly fast for a bit, after which he becomes slower than most characters while he waits for his rocket boosters to recharge. The same applies to many other characters.

Luna Snow is also a character who has the potential to be very fast. However, the problem with her is that her skating demands she keeps moving. This can make it a little tough to get away from enemies as her skating slowly and gradually comes into play while her basic movement is simple running.
