Marvel Rivals: How To Play Captain America

As a seasoned gamer with decades under my belt, I can confidently say that Captain America is a force to be reckoned with in Marvel Rivals. With his melee prowess and iconic shield, he’s a character that truly embodies the spirit of the comic books.

Captain America is one of the initial characters you can choose from in NetEase Games’ superhero shooter, Marvel Rivals. This beloved and iconic figure primarily fights using close combat, delivering mighty blows to enemies with powerful punches, and finishing them off with his well-known vibranium shield.

In this game adaptation, Captain America maintains his comic book persona but introduces powerful moves and strength as a Vanguard character. As you advance, you can upgrade Captain America from Agent to Lord, earning access to new visual customizations, avatars, knockout messages, and segments of his backstory. This guide will walk you through Mastering Captain America in Marvel Rivals.

Captain America’s Abilities In Marvel Rivals

Similar to other characters in the game, Captain America possesses a primary attack. Additionally, he boasts six unique individual skills, one of which is an Ultimate move that swiftly weakens enemies. When partnered with allies such as Thor and Storm, he can activate his Team-Up ability to gain an advantage over opponents.

Players might discover that Mastering the correct mix of Captain America’s abilities against different enemy types could be challenging. Compared to Duelists and Strategists, his health is more robust, but it still lags behind some leaders in this aspect. Here’s a brief summary of Captain America’s character attributes:

  • Captain America’s Health: 650
  • Captain America’s Difficulty: Three Stars
  • Captain America’s Role: Vanguard

Have a look at the table provided for an in-depth summary of Captain America’s attacks and powers in Marvel Rivals:

Ability Description PC Controls

When To Use Captain America’s Ultimate

Captain America’s final move (Freedom Charge) works ideally when exiting the respawn zone and immediately attacking opponents. This move allows you to run faster towards adversaries, creating a trail of energy that acts as an instant health boost for your teammates. Remember to pair this Ultimate with an ability. The most effective choice is the Super-Soldier Slam to overpower enemies directly and create a chance for Duelists to deal with them tactically from behind.

Tips and Tricks For Playing Captain America In Marvel Rivals

In Marvel Rivals, Captain America is excellent at spearheading attacks and serving as a shield for his team. Nevertheless, he might not be the ideal pick for frontline battles, particularly against opponents like Venom, Groot, and Hulk, as his powers and health aren’t as impactful against them. It’s wiser to steer clear of confronting these characters individually and instead collaborate with Duelists (fraggers) to defeat them, while Strategists provide support from the backlines by healing the team.

The game recommends a move sequence for Captain America: Initiate with the “Leading Dash” and “Vibranium Energy Saw” to inflict damage, then proceed with “Liberty Rush” and “Super-Soldier Slam” to bridge gaps. To end, use the “Sentinel Strike” to eliminate opponents. Although this strategy is effective, another option could be utilizing “Leading Dash” and “Super-Soldier Slam” for faster damage. Shooters have a weakness against Captain America due to his “Living Legend” ability, which bounces enemy attacks back at them. This enables you to maintain consistent pressure on opponents, especially when teamed up with allies, ultimately controlling the match’s flow.
