Here's a quick guide on The Punisher in Marvel Rivals.

Punisher is a solid Duelist in Marvel Rivals, leaning into consistent damage and sightline control. The Punisher is all about positioning, decision-making and aim, while other heroes need to move quickly and have flashy abilities. His kit lets him handle enemies at different ranges, making him a reliable damage dealer in almost any team composition. He has the tools to do big things every game; he just needs to learn how to use them and where he needs to be to do the most.

Weapon Switching

One of The Punisher’s greatest strengths is his ability to adapt to different combat scenarios. Learn when you should switch between your weapons instead of using one for the whole match. Keep pressure on enemies from far away using long range weapons. And when they push your position, switch to close range.

Fast weapon switching means you can respond to changing fights, and stop enemies from exploiting your weaknesses. Practicing these transitions will greatly increase your overall damage output.

High Ground Positioning

Punisher has a massive advantage as he fights from higher ground. It gives him better sight lines and it is harder to get to him. Get up high above objectives and apply continuous pressure on the enemy team. But don’t stay in one place too long, because experienced enemies will soon zero-in on you.

Get kills or get your position compromised and then switch to different angles. Good positioning will allow you to take sustained damage, while reducing the chance of being flanked.

Aim Tracking

The Punisher is about keeping your shot. Try to track your enemies smoothly and keep your crosshairs in the same spot instead of jerking the mouse around. Practice tracking fast moving Duelists and airborne heroes in the training range to improve your accuracy.

If you can, aim for the head or critical hit areas, but don’t overcompensate your aim and lose consistency. Good tracking will boost your damage output significantly in every match.

The Punisher is good at dealing with enemies that are stuck in open lines of sight. But the highly mobile heroes who can close the gap quickly are usually more difficult. When you have aggressive flankers, stay close to your team-mates, and don't put yourself in a position where you can be attacked by surprise.

You get more protection from the Vanguard or Strategist close to you, but you still can safely dish out damage. You need to know your matchups and adjust your play-style throughout the game to stay effective.
