5 best heroes you can use to counter Adam Warlock in Marvel Rivals
1) Squirrel Girl
Warlock's most annoying ability is to heal more than one enemy. His Soul Bond ability connects his allies with a bond, giving them healing over time while distributing the damage across them. He also has the avatar life stream ability which gives concentrated healing to a singular ally. However, this does mean he would be oriented close to the team.
Squirrel Girl is a great DPS hero you can use to counter Adam Warlock. Her explosive acorns ricochet off of surrounding walls until they hit either the target or solid ground, dealing explosive damage to a wide area. Thus, she wouldn't be burdened with being accurate.
Her explosive ammo also means you can deal damage to more than one person at the same time, hampering his abilities.
2) Iron Fist
Warlock is a healer character. His role responsibility and effective range allow him to excel in the medium range. This means a close-range specialist can be a good choice to counter Adam Warlock, especially one with quick reflexes and good tracking, making it hard for Warlock to escape your barrage.
Iron Fist is a character you can use to deal with him. Warlock's primary fire has a relatively slow fire rate. As such, while he hones in on your location, you can use Fist's melee-based pummels to shred him to dust. His Crane Leap and Wall Runner can be used to help close the gap between them, allowing Fist to land the lethal blow.
3) Luna Snow
Warlock has the cocooned revival passive skill. If this ability is active, then after he is killed once, the hero can immediately revive himself at a location of his choice, if he does so within 10 seconds of dying. As such, choosing superheroes that can inflict status effects on Warlock would be a great option as that can help your teammates deal substantial damage to him with relative ease.
Luna Snow is one such character you can use to counter Adam Warlock. Her Absolute Zero ability is an attack that can freeze an enemy, temporarily immobilizing him. This can make the affected enemy an easy target for the group to eliminate. She can also use her Smooth Skate passive skill to easily catch up with her allies and buff them up while fighting against Warlock.
4) Doctor Strange
Warlock is a Strategist. His role as a healer means he will always be in tune with his team, looking ahead to engage the incoming enemy team along with healing his allies. This leaves a good opportunity for the team to flank and pick him off to cut one of the team's lifelines while dispatching the other heroes before he comes back to life.
Doctor Strange is a Vanguard-class hero capable of doing that. He can use his Pentagram of Farallah ability to open portals between two distant places, making it possible to teleport the entire team into a different place, allowing them to take the enemies by surprise. This makes Strange a good option to counter Adam Warlock in the game.
5) Spider-Man
You can choose other Duelist-heroes to exploit the concentrated nature of the Strategist class. While there aren't many ways to ambush the superhero, you can use characters with an agile build. They allow you to quickly swoop in, take out your targets, and get out of the zone within a short period.
Spider-Man has one of the most flexible movement mechanics in the game. His web-swinging shenanigans mixed in with the ability to double jump can allow players to chase the golden guardian. Furthermore, his Get Over Here! move can close the remaining gap between them, making him a great choice to counter Adam Warlock.
