Mobility

Rocket Raccoon in Marvel Rivals has great mobility tools at his disposal. Starting from his passive abilities, both Wild Crawl and Flying Ace allow Rocket to quickly traverse up heights, and maintain air-time when he desires. This opens up avenues for taking unclaimed vertical space and sneaking into enemy territory without them knowing so.

Furthermore, Jetpack Dash allows you to dash around the battlefield, claiming space, and allowing you to play around with natural cover when required.

Playstyle

Being a Strategist, Rocket Raccoon thrives when he plays strictly with his team. Raccoon's kit consists of supportive elements that enhance the gameplay experience of other Heroes in his team. Repair Mode is a fantastic tool to provide healing to your allies as and when required. It is one of the most crucial pieces of Rocket's kit, and as a Strategist, you should ensure that your entire team's health is constantly topped up.

Furthermore, he also gets access to Battle Rebirth Beacon which allows him to revive allies and drop armor packs for his team. This ability alone can carry a fight, and at times, turn the tides of the game. Deploy it in an area with natural cover to avoid incoming damage for best results. You will have an unlimited supply of armor and jet packs, providing you with a distinct advantage over your foes.

Note that Rocket isn't merely restricted to a supportive role. The Hero packs a tremendous punch with his machine gun, and you should be spraying down enemies whenever possible.

Team-up

In Marvel Rivals, Rocket Raccoon gets access to two unique Team-up abilities. Firstly, with Groot, the Hero can perch on the latter's shoulder to secure a damage-reduction buff.

Secondly, Rocket can also throw an Ammo Overload Device in the direction of his choice. This device gets activated whenever your allied Punisher is in its effective radius and provides the latter with infinite Ammo and faster firing capabilities.

If you have both a Groot and a Punisher in your team, we urge you to choose the second Team-up for the best results. The synergy between Punisher and Rocket is simply unparalleled, and it will provide your team with an astounding amount of firepower.


Ultimate

Cosmic Yarn Amplifier, Rocket's Ultimate ability, boosts your teammates' damage output. This is the perfect tool to wrap up long-drawn engagements and is best used to squash enemy resistance. We also suggest you use it as an initiator tool to overpower enemies when they've got you pinned down.
