Marvel Rivals Cloak and Dagger guide: Abilities, how to play, and more

Marvel Rivals Cloak and Dagger are two unique heroes who work as one. The pair can switch positions continuously and utilize a large arsenal of abilities. The duo work like two faces of a coin where one has the ability to heal and the other can make enemies vulnerable and damage them. It is a fascinating mechanic that allows players to enjoy a tag-team experience while controlling a single character.

Marvel Rivals Cloak and Dagger might seem unfair, at first, due to the number of abilities they have. However, the pair is from the Strategist category and does not have a massive damage output. The only goal for them is to assist the Duelists and Vanguards while remaining on the backlines.

This article will highlight Marvel Rivals Cloak and Dagger's abilities and their most effective playstyle.

Movement

Marvel Rivals Cloak and Dagger only have the Eternal Bond ability that can be used to quickly cover some distance. This is mostly useful during team fights and can be a lifesaver when being targeted or chased.

That said, Dagger can phase out temporarily and avoid taking damage while repositioning on the map. Other than that, you will need to rely on team support and backup when dealing with isolated fights.

Playstyle

Cloak and Dagger have a flexible playstyle where you can choose to remain with the fighters on the frontlines or assist from the back. If you choose to get into the fights, you should take note of when to switch from Cloak to Dagger and vice versa.

Since most of the fighting is done by the Vanguards, you should support them with your ability to heal. However, if the enemy heals are too strong, you might want to switch to Dagger and make the opponents more vulnerable to incoming damage.

Team up

As mentioned previously, Cloak and Dagger can team up with Moon Knight and create a Light and Dark realm for the hero where he can turn invisible. This is a great way to hide away one of the players who can go ahead and silently deal damage to the opponents. It is a passive ability, so it will trigger on its own when the power-up is ready to use.
