Tips to play Namor in Marvel Rivals 

One of the simplest characters to learn in Marvel Rivals, Namor drops into battle with just three core abilities and his ultimate. Two of these abilities are summons, one providing some defense while the other sending out a friendly Monstro Spawn to distract your enemies.

Furthermore, Namor doesn’t even have a passive ability. So if you’re looking for a relatively beginner-friendly character to jump in with, Namor ticks that box. 

The best advice is to constantly be using your abilities as they come off cooldown. As they’re mostly autonomous, require little manual input from you, they should just be spammed out as often as possible to aid your team. 

When it comes to Namor’s ultimately, however, you need a little more precision. Be sure to time this one just right, during the biggest teamgights, and you could just shift any battle in your favor.
