Marvel Rivals Wolverine guide: Abilities, ultimate, tips, more
Wolverine may be immortal, but he can quickly falter inMarvel Rivalsif you don’t have a full understanding of how he works and how best to play him.
Marvel Rivals’ Wolverine is aDuelist character, meaning his job is to deal damage to the enemies and finish them off with ease. Naturally, this is perfect for Wolverine’s traditional fighting style, with him often focusing on eliminating enemies and doing it pretty effectively, thanks to his vicious adamantium claws.
However, in Marvel Rivals, dominating as thisS-tier characterisn’t easy, especially when you don’t know his abilities, weapons, ideal team comps, or how to play him best.
Wolverine stats in Marvel Rivals
Wolverine’s health and his class are his defining factors. This character can pack quite a punch and has the right amount of health to make him work well as both a tank and a DPS.
Combine this with his Duelist nature, and you’ve got the best of both worlds, providing you don’t have to deal with anyone from range.
Season 1 meta changes
Logan has gotten a bit of a boost to his basic combat strength and health from theSeason 1patch. Though he’s also got less extra survivaility now as his Undying Animal damage reduction ratio has been reduced.
You can find his full adjustments for Season 1 below:
Wolverine’s weapon is, unsurprisingly, his Adamantium claws. These claws will only allow you to do one type of attack though, instead of the traditional two we see from other Duelists likeMagik.

Along with his epic claws, Wolverine thrives thanks to his abilities, all of which serve to either knock back the enemy, heighten your damage, or even heal you.
How to play Wolverine in Marvel Rivals
Wolverine doesn’t exactly thrive in his mobility,meaning you’ll need to utilize his high health and melee strengths in combat.
The best way to play Wolverine is todive right into the center of combat, without worrying about being exposed, since he has hisRegenerative Healing Factorpassive to keep him alive.
Once in the heat of battle, keep the range close usingFeral Leap when needed and tank damageto build yourRage up. Follow this up withSavage Clawstrikes andLast Standto finish off the enemy. Once they’re down, useFeral Leapagain to get near the next enemy and continue that same method.
While he doesn’t have the best movement, the faster you take down an enemy, the quicker you can move on, making it a little harder to kill Wolverine off.
We suggest focusingWolverine as a melee tank or secondary Duelistin terms of team composition.
Best team comp
In terms of the best team comp for Wolverine in Marvel Rivals, we recommend pairing him with the following characters:
The Punisher
The Punisher is a fantastic Duelist on his own, but once you combine that with his smoke grenades, Wolverine gets the perfect opportunity to use his Last Stand or Feral Leap to snatch the unsuspecting enemy and take them down before anyone else sees.
Check out ourPunisher guidefor more details on the character.
Black Widow
Black Widow is a fantastic ranged character who works perfectly covering the melee fighter, Wolverine. Simply use her ranged attacks as cover for Wolverine, keeping a close eye for when his health starts to deplete a little too quickly and taking down any threats.
Check out ourBlack Widow guidefor more details on the character.
Groot’s ability to create walls is the perfect way to keep Wolverine safe in the heat of battle. If you’re tactical, Groot can effectively create chokepoints to leave enemies vulnerable and helpless against Wolverine’s attacks. You could also block any enemies from reaching him when needed.
Check out ourGroot guidefor more details on the character.
Dr Strange
Dr Strange is a perfect teammate for Wolverine, providing some handy shields and helping close any gaps that could put Logan in danger. Just be sure toavoid any teamkilling, no matter how powerful it might be in Marvel Rivals.
Check out ourDr Strangeguide for more details on the character.
Rocket Racoon
Wolverine has his own healing ability, but having a little more isn’t a bad thing, especially given his proximity to damage. So, having Rocket Racoon, who can combine ranged attacks with some healing and you have a recipe for survival on your side, and death on the enemy’s.
Check out ourRocket Racoonguide for more details on the character.
Hulk is a fantastic combination thanks to Wolverine’s Team-Up ability. Sure, being thrown isn’t exactly ideal, but it eliminates the issue of his movement and allows you to get that damage somewhere else on the map, without putting yourself at risk.
Check out ourHulk guidefor more details on the character.
Best counters
If you’re going up against a Wolverine and just can’t seem to take the character down, then you’ll want to choose the following counters:
Iron Mancan fly, making Wolverine’s melee attacks practically impossible. So, to take him down, take to the skies and attack him from a distance. Sure, it’ll slowly chip away at his health, but given the cooldowns and exposed nature, you’ll be able to take him down soon enough.
Similar to Iron Man, players want to opt for anything that does ranged damage. Once you find yourself in melee with Wolverine, it won’t end well. So, choosing Black Widow will allow you to tackle the character from a distance. Fly above, avoid the claws, and take him down with little resistance.
So, that’s all you need to know about Wolverine in Marvel Rivals. For more on the game, check out our our fulltier list,Twitch Drops, thebest controller settings, allfree skins & how to get them,all currencies, and theIron Man code.
