NetEase GamesLike Hawkeye, Wolverine is also a Duelist in Marvel Rivals with regenerative healing abilities but you must know the best possible ways to play him.
Wolverine is known for leveraging his ferocious adamantium claws to eliminate enemies swiftly and efficiently, and it’s no different in Marvel Rivals. He excels at dealing damage and finishing off opponents easily, aligning his playstyle perfectly with his classic persona.
However, mastering Wolverine requires a solid understanding of his abilities and weapons.

Charlie IntelHow to play Wolverine in Marvel Rivals
Wolverine’s strength lies in his high durability and melee capabilities as mobility isn’t his strong suit. So, we would suggest diving straight into the thick of the fight with this Duelist where his passive, Regenerative Healing Factor, will keep him alive.
Use Feral Leap to reposition as needed. Absorb damage to build up your Rage meter, then unleash Savage Claw for powerful strikes. Finish off opponents with Last Stand, and use Feral Leap again to quickly close the gap on your next target, repeating this strategy to maintain the pressure.
Wolverine can eliminate enemies quickly making it tough for opponents to keep him down. In team compositions, he excels as a melee tank or a secondary Duelist, providing a strong frontline presence while dealing consistent damage.
Wolverine can team-up with Hulk and that combo can be deadly for the opposition. He can toss Wolverine around and that compensates for his limited mobility. It lets you reposition effectively and deal damage in another area of the map without exposing yourself to unnecessary risk.
