Meanwhile, Cosmic Cluster works as a charged shot, where you hold your weapon to gather its energy before dumping all the bullets on the enemy team.

Adam Warlock’s abilities
netease / marvelIn a way, Adam Warlock’s healing is similar to Mantis’, where you’ll need to pay attention to his resources. Soul Bond allows him to heal multiple targets, even himself if no ally is selected, but it has charges that regenerate after a few seconds.

Dexerto / NetEaseTips to play Adam Warlock in Marvel Rivals
When you’re not healing your teammates with Adam Warlock, ideally, you’ll want to be poking the enemy team as much as you can with his Quantum Magic primary fire since it does a lot of damage to headshots.
When using his charged shots with Cosmic Cluster, try to predict where the enemy will appear by lining up your shots before a fight. The trick is to keep holding your weapon charge and then quickly peek to launch your bullets at the enemy team to chip away their health before going back to safety.
Since he lacks mobility, play it safe by staying in the backline or using high grounds around the map. In the worst-case scenario, if you get jumped by a mobile hero like Spider-Man and die, just remember that you can resurrect yourself afterward.
When that happens, you’ll turn into a ghost-like state, where you can freely change position in a brief period before resurrecting. Use this chance to fly to a safer place or retreat altogether if you think your team’s losing the fight. The last thing you want to do is get staggered with your teammates.
Lastly, while your Karmic Revival ultimate allows you to resurrect allies, be careful when and where you cast it. You’re basically locked in an animation when you use your ultimate, leaving you completely vulnerable to the enemy team.
If you can’t find a safe spot, use the opportunity when the enemy team is distracted or when they’re hit with a massive CC ability from your teammates who are still alive. That way, you’re guaranteed a huge rez and can continue the fight.
Finally, thanks to his Soul Perseverance passive, Adam Warlock works extremely well when paired with Mantis and Star Lord because when they both die, they can resurrect themselves.
