Marvel Rivals Rocket Raccoon guide: Abilities, ultimate, tips, more

Rocket Raccoon is a Strategist in Marvel Rivals, and to get the best out of him here’s a breakdown of his abilities, ultimate, and exactly how he plays.

Strategist characters are all about backing up their team. Whether it’s healing, providing buffs, or even dishing out CC to enemies to help your teammates finish them off.

One of the better Strategist characters in the game is Rocket Raccoon whose kit is designed to help the whole squad on the battlefield.

Tips to play Rocket Raccoon in Marvel Rivals

The biggest tip we have when it comes to playing Rocket Raccoon effectively is to place your utility in good positions. His ult, C.Y.A, the B.R.B, and Ammo Invention can be destroyed, which means enemies can easily erase any value from it.

So, make sure to either place it right around corners or behind terrain. However, keep in mind that your teammates will still need to have it in their line of sight to get its effects.

The other thing about Rocket is to watch out for coordinated dives, as he is a very easy target who can’t get away easily. Always either be near allies or ready to make your escape at a moment’s notice.

Out of all the Strategists, Rocket Raccoon synergizes well with many other characters, especially The Punisher. The ability to give him infinite ammo and a faster fire rate make him a much more viable character, especially if your Punisher has great aim.

It should be noted that for as good as Rocket’s utility is, he’s quite mechanically reliant on you, as you’ll need good aim and resource management to play him well. So, if you aren’t confident, take some time to practice.
