Marvel Rivals: Captain America Guide

Here's a quick guide on Captain America in Marvel Rivals.

Captain America is a reliable Vanguard in Marvel Rivals, who is great at spearheading attacks, interrupting enemies, and protecting his team. His kit is well rounded allowing him to tank, engage and create for his team without losing mobility. He isn't the biggest damage-dealer, but his ability to control fights and protect his teammates makes him one of the best heroes in organized play. 

Shields Throwing

Captain America’s shield is not just a projectile, but a weapon that can be used to incite conflict and pressure opponents. Harass foes before closing the distance, and use shield throws to take out fleeing enemies. Once you get them, focus on high priority targets like Strategists and Duelists instead of throwing them at heavily defended tanks. The other team has to be more careful, and keep the pressure on by constantly using shield hits.

Field Leadership

Captain America is at his best when he is leading his team in a battle. Keep your damage dealers in front of you to soak up incoming attacks and create room for your teammates to push up safely. If you don’t have support, it’s best not to dive too deep because even the strongest heroes can be overwhelmed when left alone. Your team can fight from good spots all over the match by having a strong presence on the frontline and controlling important parts of the map.

Peel for Allies

One of Captain America’s greatest strengths is that he protects vulnerable teammates from aggressive dive heroes. Watch your Strategists and ranged Duelists closely and counter any pressure that the enemies might try to put on them. Use your defensive capabilities and crowd control to bait attackers away from your defensive line. The successful peeling that keeps your supports alive for a long period of time allows the full team to be sustained during long engagements.

Ultimate Timing

The best use of Captain America’s ultimate is to start or stabilize big team fights. Don't pop it when it's available, wait for either both teams to commit to the objective or the enemy to group up. Work with your teammates to ensure they can capitalize on the disruption your ultimate creates immediately. Good ultimates can turn the tide of a match, take objectives, and get through the enemy's defenses.

Conclusion Notes

Captain America rewards players who appreciate teamwork, positioning and smart decision making. As you take the lead of the frontline in Marvel Rivals, learn how to throw shields, protect your teammates from danger, use your ultimate at the right time, and lay the foundation of your team’s success.
