Marvel Rivals: Gambit Guide

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

Gambit is a Strategist in Marvel Rivals, and mixes steady damage, utility and healing to become a versatile support hero. Gambit is not your average backline healer, he goes into the thick of battle, buffing teammates, debuffing enemies and changing up his skills to suit the situation. He’s a versatile character that suits players who can think on their feet and make smart decisions in stressful situations while balancing offense and support.

Balancing Damage and Healing

What I loved the most about Gambit is his ability to heal his teammates without being a passive support. Don’t be afraid to apply pressure on your opponent’s when your team is stable, but keep the health of your front line in check in long engagements.

To get the most overall impact, switch effectively between helping teammates and hurting enemies. Gambit isn’t focusing on one role, but the best Gambit players are always contributing throughout the match.

Deck Handling

Gambit’s deck of cards gives him access to a wide range of utility options, which requires him to manage his resources effectively. Do not use every powered-up card the moment it becomes available. Now consider what your team needs right now.

Supportive options should only be used in situations of heavy enemy pressure, while offensive cards are most effective when your team is ready to push or kill weakened opponents. Smart deck management means you always have the right tool to hand when it matters.

Position Relative To Your Team

Gambit is not a solo fighter, but he can dish out some serious damage. Keep clear sightlines to both allies and enemies while staying behind your Vanguard.

The role allows you to react quickly to changes in the fight, pressure opponents and heal your teammates. Stay close to your team, lose your support and you will find the enemy gaining momentum quickly in an objective fight.

Timing Your Ultimates Well

Gambit's ultimate is best used when coordinated during team fights. Don’t use it as soon as it’s up; use it when both teams are going for a big objective or fight. When combined with your Vanguard’s initiation or another ally’s crowd control, it is significantly more valuable and your team is significantly more likely to win. Patience often brings better results than rushing to use one's ultimate weapon.

Summarization

Gambit is for players who like to make big decisions every game. With good positioning, smart deck management, good ultimate timing, and a good balance of healing and damage, you can be one of the most impactful Strategists in Marvel Rivals, keeping your teammates alive and your opponents on edge at all times.
