Here's a quick guide on how to use Deadpool in Marvel Rivals.

Deadpool is a great Duelist in Marvel Rivals focusing on self-sustain, high mobility, and aggressive close-range combat. He is great at consistently pushing back the enemy backline, outliving most Duelists and dealing quick burst damage to lone enemies. His healing powers make him hard to kill, but if you walk into each fight without a plan, you're going to get yourself killed. A big part of mastering Deadpool is knowing when to be aggressive and when to be smart.

Mobility and Gap Closing

Deadpool is the best when he gets in close on squishy opponents. Don't charge headlong into the enemy line, use your mobility to go around the side. Let your teammates start the engagement before you get into the backline, forcing your opponents to split their attention.

If the fight is going against you, it's important to have at least one ability to move that you can use to escape. Good mobility isn't just about getting into fights, it's about surviving them.

Ability Combinations

Deadpool’s damage comes from linking his abilities together, not by using them randomly. Close the gap and weave your strongest abilities in between basic attacks to maximize burst damage at the start of your attack. Practice your combo timing until it becomes second nature, allowing you to take out priority targets before they know what hit them. Don't use cooldowns on heavily defended Vanguards unless they are at a low health level. Good combos allow you to keep up the pressure on every exchange.

Self-Sustaining Management

Deadpool’s longevity is better than most Duelists. Utilize your healing powers to your advantage in combat, but don't confuse self-sustainability with invulnerability. If you’re being hit by several enemies or your abilities are on cooldown, pull back and recover before re-engaging. You can play smart, keep your health maxed out, and keep your enemies guessing, instead of dying and waiting to respawn.

Ultimate Usage Timing

Deadpool’s ultimate works best in chaotic team fights where enemies are distracted or grouped up. It's not good to use it at the beginning of a fight, as opponents are more likely to have some kind of defense or mobility.

Wait for your team to start, don't blow your ult. Your chances of racking up multiple eliminations are greatly increased when you hit the timing of your shots, which can quickly change the momentum of an objective fight.
