Ultimate

His Ultimate ability, Karmic Revival, is one of the strongest in Marvel Rivals if used correctly. He can revive allies, albeit at lower health, and provides a brief invincibility period. It has the ability to turn the tide of battle. If three or four teammates go down, Adam Warlock can revive them, surprising the enemy with a now-alive team. However, he is not invincible while using the ability, meaning a safe spot is necessary to execute it properly. Below is a list of the details.

• Casting: Persistent spell field that surrounds the caster
• Special Effect: Revive allies within range, centered on Adam. Continuously monitor for fallen allies within this range; if they enter the area, they can be revived at the casting location.
• Health After Revival: 100
• Range: 30m spherical radius
• Energy Cost: 5000

Strategies

Playing Adam Warlock is all about positioning. All of his healing abilities require him to be close to teammates. Keeping teammates in sight is essential to be able to know when to heal and who to heal. When he is not needed for healing, he can send Quantum Magic shots to help chip away damage. However, primarily, he will be used to help keep teammates alive. Be careful with his lack of mobility. If you get out of position, Adam Warlock is a sitting duck.

It is important not to spam healing abilities simply. Avatar Life Stream is a powerful ability with a relatively short cooldown. However, many players will use the ability when it isn’t critical. Then, when the ability is needed, you have to wait a few seconds before healing. Those precious seconds may be the difference between life and death. It is important to communicate with your team to make sure the abilities are deployed at the proper time.

Final Thoughts

Adam Warlock is one of the more difficult characters to master in Marvel Rivals. However, he can be very powerful in the right hands. Looking for a challenge in the game? Master this character and swing the tides of battle with healing abilities.
