Marvel Rivals Vanguard Mains Have Had It With the Most Annoying Tank-Killer DPS Hero, Demand Solutions

In Marvel Rivals, speed is key, and the stakes are always high. One second players are coordinating perfectly to execute the perfect combo, and the next, a rogue hero swoops in and wrecks the entire plan. And that hero is likely Wolverine, claws out, who has caused Vanguard players to scream for help.

When the entire strategy revolves around having a tank absorb hits and hold the line, nothing throws a wrench in that more than this clawed menace charging in and slashing through the defenses like they’re made of paper. Let’s just say the Vanguard mains are not fans of the hero right now.

Why Wolverine is such a menace in Marvel Rivals

Vanguard heroes are the backbone of any team in Marvel Rivals. These tanks are built to survive, boasting high HP and abilities designed to mitigate incoming damage. They stay at the frontline, absorb hits, and control the flow of battle, allowing DPS heroes and support heroes.

But when the Vanguard tanks are disrupted, the entire team’s strategy falls apart. That’s where Wolverine comes in. Wolverine is a relentless force, and he has been haunting Vanguard players like a moth to a flame.

What makes him particularly dangerous? His ability to dash and push targets, along with his attacks dealing damage based on a target’s HP percentage. This mechanic means that regardless of how much health a Vanguard has, he can still tear through their defenses.

For Vanguard players, he is a pain to deal with. Naturally, players have been asking: Is there any way to counter Wolverine’s overwhelming power? While various heroes can deal with him, making a team just to counter 1 hero is not plausible.

Vanguard mains, how do I counter this little sh*t??

The thread is filled with players asking for ways to kill him or sharing their stories of getting killed. While there are various suggestions, the general consensus is that players need their DPS help to eliminate him faster.

Is there a way for the Vanguards to counter Wolverine?

It’s easy to feel like Wolverine might be overpowered, especially for those who like to play Vanguard heroes. His close-combat style, combined with his ability to deal percentage-based damage, makes him a nightmare for tanks. Many have begun questioning if the hero is simply too strong.

However, as is often the case in Marvel Rivals, creativity, and matchup is the key here. Since the tanks don’t have great damage and Clawed Menace can do % damage, the result is the death of tanks, but if he faces off against a DPS hero, he’ll easily fall.

So, players have been brainstorming other ways to deal with this issue (without relying on DPS heroes). While the tanks might seem helpless, players have been quick to devise ways to turn the tide. The answer? Stun him.

If he can’t get close, he can’t kill you. And for this, Peni Parker is the perfect hero. She can keep him at bay or immobilize him with her Cyber-Web Snare ability, simply immobilize any character and keep them in place.

In this end, as the battle for dominance in Marvel Rivals continues, one thing remains constant: diversity in team composition and player creativity can take you a long way in the game.
