I agree that the game’s being called a glorifiedOverwatchre-skin, butMarvel Rivalshas me addicted. I’ve been playing the game since its launch with my friends, and courtesy of the various Ultimates on offer, I have felt all-powerful and utterly dismantled, all in the same match.
Marvel Rivals’ultimates are satisfying. You can turn the tide of battle with just one skill and set the team up for a glorious winning push. That’s how powerful Ultimate abilities are.
If you want to know the 11 Best Ultimates to secure multi-kills, you’re in the right place.
11The Punisher
Track Them Down
Ultimate Ability
Description
Best Used When
Final Judgement
Unleash two Gatling guns and missiles to attack enemies.
At chokepoints held by enemies
If left unchecked, The Punisher will melt your entire team. Once you’ve placed your gun, you cantrack the enemies with your Gatling gunswithout any recoil, similar to howStrinova’sAudrey’s skill works.
With the iconic line of ‘Judge, Jury, Executioner,’ you can signal the beginning of seemingly endless hellfire, which usually nets you a handful of kills as you clear out a congested area.
Snipers can cut this one short, so be wary, but overall, this one is super easy to get right and super effective.
10Star-Lord
The Sky Is Yours
Galactic Legend
Engage in free-flight and lock onto enemies in sight.
While flanking the enemy team
You should alwaysuse his ultimate while flankingthe other team. As long as you have enemies in your sight, the reticle will auto-lock onto them, and you’re able to spam bullets.
It’s wild how fastStar-Lord can meltDuelists and Strategists in his ultimate, but beware that you’ll be an easy target to lock onto.
A lesson learned the hard way: I often used his ultimate without checking my flank and got demolished by their Jeff. So,always check for enemieswho can take you down when you’re about to lock in.
Watch out for enemies before using ultimates that use the Hitscan
9Spider-Man
Webs Go Pew Pew Pew!
Spectacular Spin
Launch Web-Clusters all around to damage and stun enemies
To flank supports healing the tanks
If you’re a flanker who likes to aim for enemy Strategists,Spider-manwill get the job done. Get out of enemies' line of sight, sneak behind them, andcatch them off-guardwith your ultimate.
It’s rare to see Duelists and Strategists survive his ultimate since they’re not tanky enough. However, you risk diving into the enemy’s backline to target their support, which may or may not work in your favour.
Unless you’ve got a clear shot of enemies' backline, back off, my friend; wait for the perfect moment, and get their Strategists.
Marvel Rivals Review
It really makes you feel like Spider-Man.
Watch Out!
Horn Of Proteus
Summon Giganto to leap atop enemies within range, removing their mobility abilities.
To clear the objective
Some heroes are pretty agile inMarvel Rivals. Black Panther, Spider-Man, and Psylocke, to name a few.
With Namor’s ultimate, you can secure ateam-wipe by immobilizing enemiesin place and doing area-wide damage to the ones in its effective range. Meaning all those pesky mobile heroes won’t bug you anymore.
However, his creature-themed turrets are what really act as the cherry on top of the cake that is his full kit.
So, stay back with your Strategist, protect them, and when you see enemies rush to capture the point, call that big whale and watch them return to spawn.
Invincible Pulse Cannon
Fire a devastating pulse cannon in the targeted direction, delivering catastrophic damage to the targeted area upon impact.
Behind a group of enemies
Let’s call it like it is. Tony Stark is a big ol' nerd, but you don’t need to crunch numbers touse his ultimate.
Once you’ve got the perfect moment, all you need to do is launch Iron Man’s ultimate and watch squishy heroes go down for the count.
It’s bestwhen you’re using his ultimate tofocus on enemies in a tight spotsothey can’t avoid it, and because you’re Ironman, you’ll have a birdseye view, making these opportunities easy to spot.
With Iron Man, you don’t need to worry about being caught off-guard since you can evade most attacks with those powerful boosters. That’s what makes him so hard to track.
Go behind the enemy line, aim for strategists around the tanks, and take them out in one go. They’re about to find how powerful the Arc reactor is.
6Moon Knight
Watch Out For Those Claws
Hand Of Khonshu
Open a portal that allows Khonshu to bombard enemies with his talons.
Enemies around the Payload
Moon Knight’s ultimate issimilar to Namor’s; however, his basic attack’s ricocheting ability makes it more valuable.
You can distract enemies with your ultimate and quickly melt a tank with your abilities. You can easilytarget the Strategiststo cut off enemy tanks' healing.
Another instance where you can benefit from his ultimate is to blast the Payload itself, not literally, but triggering your ultimate when nearby.
You’ll find players who use the Payload as a shield, andusing Moon Knight’s ultimate on the Payloadwill take out Strategist and Duelist heroes.
I suggest using area-wide ultimates at places where enemies may gather in a few seconds.
5Jeff The Land Shark
Nom Nom Nom
It’s Jeff!
Deep dive into the scene, resurface to swallow enemies and allies within range, activate Hide and Seek briefly, and eject either of their swallowed heroes forward.
To clear the point captured by enemies
Using this cute-as-a-button superhero, you can gulp the entire enemy team andthrow themoff the map. Which, if I do say so myself, is very satisfying, not to mention hilarious.
I suggest usingJeff’s ultimate on Vanguards/Tanks, as they have a high HP pool and are hard to kill.
However, you may end up picking up your teammatesif they’re caught in your ultimate, so don’t go throwing them off the map. There are different options for throwing allies and enemies; use them wisely.
I’ve queued with players in Ranked who’ve thrown their own teammates to death, which cost them matches. However, some heroes are agile enough to return to the arena, nullifying Jeff’s efforts.
So, the last resort to eliminating those heroes is to sacrifice Jeff himself and those captured.
You know what they say: Everything is fair in love, war, and point capture. You’ll be remembered, Jeff.
Give a callout to your teammates to clear the area before using Jeff’s ultimate
Marvel Rivals: All Maps Ranked Worst to Best
From Wakanda to Yggsard and everywhere in between.
Fruit Ninja
Dance Of The Butterfly
Slash nearby enemies with a psionic katana, dealing massive damage.
While flanking a group of enemies
I’m sorry. I love playing tanks (because no one chooses them), but even playing as a big brute, I’m leaving the area if I hear Psylocke’s ultimate trigger.
Her ultimate severelydamagesenemies caughtin the zone, which makes her so scary, even if you have a spongy HP bar.
With such a large radius, you may easilycover the pointand watch your enemies suffer.
It’s crazy how fast you can close the distance with her. Go invisible, breach the enemy team’s backline, and show the way of the Ninja. I might be so bold to say she’s the new and improved Genji.
There She Awaits
Omega Hurricane
Transform into a hurricane to draw in nearby enemies and deal damage.
While capturing the point
While Storm is hands-down the weakest character on the roster, which is why no one plays her, she does have a brilliant Ult.
The ultimate can be tricky to navigate, but it will get the job done.Sneak behind enemies' coverand use the ultimate to wipe them off. It sounds simple, right?
However, there’s one caveat:the ultimate only lasts a few secondsand can prove counterproductive if spawned in the wrong spot.
So, gather intel before you use the ultimate to figure out where the enemies are and throw them and their HP bars into the air.
2Scarlet Witch
Here We Go Again
Reality Erasure
Engage in free-flight while charging at enemies to deal massive damage.
Clearing a chokepoint
If you’re in need of some brute force to clear a path, there are few better for the job than Scarlet Witch.
If you don’t have theWandavisionto track her down and kill her whileshe’s casting her ultimate, consider yourself dead. Anyonecaught in the blast radiuswill be sent back to spawn.
That’s how powerful her ultimate is. “Pure Chaos” will be the last words you’ll hear before respawning. However, you must use it carefully because enemies can still kill you.
It’s an Ultimate that’s simple to use and understand but, equally, very hard to stop unless they have someone poised to stop you. So take to the skies and crash down with devastating effect.
