Difficult Marvel Rivals hero absolutely shreds if you persevere

One Marvel Rivals hero that’s difficult to play can absolutely stomp matches if you know how to utilize his entire kit well.

Marvel Rivals has plenty of different heroes, each with unique abilities, from which players are free to choose. Of course, while having an extensive roster list helps spice things up, it’s no secret that some of these characters are way harder to play than others.

One difficult character that comes to mind is none other than Adam Warlock. It’s clear that the majority of players aren’t so keen on playing as him as he currently has the lowest pick rate out of all the Strategists – and that’s both in PC and console across all ranks.

In a game where you’ll see characters fly around all over the map, leap back and forth, dash, and do all sorts of cool tricks, his overall kit can feel slow and clunky to use. That said, don’t let that discourage you from learning to play him, as he can easily turn the tide of a match if you stick it out.

Adam Warlock is not one to be underestimated.

It’s easy to see why people don’t fancy playing as Adam Warlock at first glance. Not only does he require mechanical skill, but you also need to have good awareness and game sense to make him shine.

Unlike the majority of supports, he can’t heal all the time due to his long cooldowns. Also, use your Soul Bond too early; you’re pretty much dead the next second you get flanked.

In addition, if you can’t get picks or at least land your shots to chip away the enemy’s health, then he essentially loses half of his value. To top it off, he has zero mobility, which means players really have to always keep an eye out on their positioning and surroundings.

While it’s true that these are his downsides, Adam is the type of hero who can absolutely melt people while also saving his team during fights if you know what you’re doing.

Adam’s primary fire hits like a truck, and even if you don’t manage to kill the person trying to dive you, it’s generally enough to scare them away to go back to safety. Not only that, but his Cosmic Cluster secondary fire can put a lot of pressure on tanks.

It’s kind of like Zenyatta’s orbs in Overwatch 2, where you can charge the projectiles up before blasting them to the enemy’s face – even better if you can poke and pressure them from afar in a safe space with this. What he essentially lacks in healing, he makes it up with his DPS potential and utility.

Additionally, even though he doesn’t have mobility, Soul Bond is one ability that can be extremely clutch as it can be used to nullify dives as long as the timing is right. In a worst-case scenario, even if you end up dying, Adam’s amazing passive lets him self-revive so you can get back to your team faster. 

Of course, another thing that makes him a good pick is his Team-Up, arguably one of the best ones in the game, as you’re basically able to give Mantis and Star-Lord a free rez. 

Lastly, even though his ultimate doesn’t restore full health to allies, it can help turn the tide of the match, especially if the enemy team has already exhausted all their abilities and ults.
