Marvel Rivals: Human Torch Guide

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

The Human Torch is a Duelist in Marvel Rivals, and focuses on air combat, area damage, and applying constant pressure from above the battlefield. His fire-based powers allow him to control space and punish grouped enemies, while his mobility allows him to strike from awkward angles.

The Human Torch can dish out a lot of damage but can get caught out of position so you need to move and manage your abilities carefully to control this hero effectively.

Aerial Positioning

The Human Torch is in his element when he rules the air. You should try and stay in the air as much as you can to see the battlefield clearly and to make angles that are hard for your enemies to deal with. It is better not to stay in one place too long, for experienced opponents will quickly fixate on you.

Instead, alternate between assaults and taking advantage of buildings or terrain to break your line of sight momentarily before repositioning. Your clever aerial maneuvers let you pressure enemies without risking yourself, and make you a much more difficult target to kill.

Fire Zone Control

The Human Torch’s powers are good for limiting the movement of opponents and controlling points. Place your fire attacks near chokepoints, payload routes, and capture zones that opponents will be compelled to pass through. Even if your powers aren’t racking up kills, you can still give your team a huge edge by forcing enemies to reposition or slow down their push. Often space control is as valuable as direct damage.

Target Priority

As a Duelist, your goal is to kill the enemy’s most valuable heroes. When they become exposed, you should go after strategists, then duelists in a vulnerable position. Don't waste time attacking Vanguards unless they are already damaged or they are blocking your team from completing an objective. Smart target selection ensures that your damage has the maximum potential impact in every engagement.

Ability Management

Human Torch is best utilized when his powers are used patiently, not all at once. Don’t use all your cooldowns in the first few seconds, rotate your abilities throughout the fight to apply constant pressure. 

If enemies focus you, or if you have an opportunity to kill a low-health target, you have additional leeway when you have at least one mobility/offensive ability available. Efficient ability management allows you to maintain a high level of threat in long team fights.

Summary Notes

The Human Torch punishes aggressive players, but also knows how to position well. Learn to control the air, use fire powers to dominate key areas and focus on the biggest threats. Use your powers wisely to become one of the most dangerous Duelists in Marvel Rivals and rule the battlefield from the skies.
