While playing Winter Soldier, often you will ult only to find no one around you as the opponents have taken cover before you get a chance to execute them. If the enemy team has a Loki, make sure to connect your ultimate to the clone and eliminate it.

This will give you your ultimate back and you can then easily wipe out enemies who thought they had successfully evaded you.


2) Use Wolverine against Vanguards

One of the many secret tricks in Marvel Rivals that you can apply, especially if you love playing as Wolverine, is to use him against tanks. Many people don't know how to use Logan, generally pouncing on enemy backlines just to die. This is a rather inefficient way of playing him.

Keep in mind that Wolverine's damage is based on enemy HP. The higher an enemy's health pool is, the more damage he does. Use his abilities to separate enemy Vanguards and put them at a disadvantage, so that you can use your claws to tear them down. Effectively using Wolverine can be a game-changer, particularly if you are struggling to take down enemy Vanguards supported by their Strategists.


3) You can wake up your teammate affected by Mantis' Spore Slumber

Mantis is currently one of the best Strategists in Marvel Rivals and an insanely strong support, thanks to her abilities to counter flankers. A good Mantis player can easily take out Duelists who are diving enemy backlines or stun Vanguards with her Spore Slumber ability. Once she hits you with this ability, you will be stunned for around 5 seconds.

This can either lead to your death or the enemy Strategists becoming aware of you and moving to a secure location. If you see one of your teammates getting sedated by Mantis, make sure to shoot the purple aura behind them to wake them up. It is one of the important secret tricks in Marvel Rivals that many players are not aware of, and using it correctly can allow you to catch the opponent Mantis by surprise.


4) Hela can be used to counter Jeff

Jeff the Land Shark is a menace who can easily gobble up your team in a crucial moment and proceed to throw them off the map. His ultimate is quite annoying and although certain counters exist for Jeff the Land Shark, getting the timing right can be a hassle.

One of the best secret tricks in Marvel Rivals is using Hela's ultimate to counter Jeff's, as she can take him out before he throws your team off the map. Simply use your ultimate and kill Jeff before he can cause any damage that leads to you losing any crucial points.


5) Cloak can make enemies vulnerable

Another one of the many secret tricks in Marvel Rivals that you might not be aware of is using Cloak to make enemies vulnerable. His Terror Cape ability can not only near-sight opponents but also make them take increased damage as long as it lasts.

This can be used to kill off tanky enemies like opponent Vanguards who are being constantly healed by their Strategists.
