Here are some tips to help you master Iron Man!

How To Play Iron Man?

Iron Man’s abilities in Marvel Rivals

Considering he’s a Ranged DPS character, Iron Man is shockingly swift and agile when it comes to the hero’s movement. His ability kit is also quite straightforward once you know what you’re doing. Although starting your combo with Repulsor Blase isn’t technically a bad call, you should still use Armor Overdrive before jumping in to make sure that you get maximum damage output.

It allows players to save Hyper-Velocity for sometime later during rotation. Since Iron Man has exceptional mobility, it’s best to use that to the maximum because it’ll help take you towards your goal of making him a nuisance to his enemy. Jumping into the match, dealing plenty of damage, jumping out, and repeating this particular loop is set to help you dominate the match.

While the hero’s low HP can become a problem, his power to get out of tough situations and encounters at high speeds can easily make up for that. In addition to this, if your healer is close to you, the character can remain in fights for way longer while unleashing his wrath on his opponents. Iron Man’s Ultimate, Invincible Pulse Cannon, lets him wreak havoc on the field.

When used, it sends concentrated blasts of energy into the ground below him, which covers a wide blast radius and deals tons of damage. It’s extremely useful and can turn the tide of the battle in your favour if it’s used properly. It’s highly recommended that you use this Ultimate once you’ve used Hyper-Velocity to make sure that you get way up above the battlefield.

You should then utilize Micro-Missile Barrage to pressure the enemy beneath before turning them into dust with the help of the Invincible Pulse Cannon. Although it can be a bit challenging to use since you’re required to strike an area where a lot of enemies are grouped, being up in the air offers you a good vantage point. Properly positioning yourself is critical with Iron Man.

Although he’ll be left vulnerable during Invincible Pulse Cannon, use Hyper-Velocity to position the character high in the air to make him almost impossible to locate and strike.

Conclusion

Now that you know how to successfully master Iron Man in Marvel Rivals, you should also be aware of how you can counter various Strategist Ultimates since they can prove to be a real challenge on the field.
