Tips to play Star Lord in Marvel Rivals

As you can tell, Star Lord’s kit is very barebones, especially in comparison to the large ability list of fellow Duelists such as Scarlet Witch and Hela. However, since it’s so simplistic, Star Lord is a relatively easy character to pick up, though albiet quite a hard one to master.

Star Lord excels when he is flanking, so make sure you’re always in the enemy’s backline hunting for your next target. His abilities allow you to pinpoint a weak healer in the enemy team, quickly kill them, and get out.

Additionally, he is great when stuck in a sticky situation, being able to get out of a team fight or dive easily.

Element Guns, his primary weapon, may be one of – if not the best – weapons in the game, as you can take down a 300 HP target in one clip if all your shots are aimed at the enemy’s head.

His ultimate, Galactic Legend, quite literally gives you aim bot while flying. This means it’s best to use it when kicking off a big team fight, as it is a fantastic engagement ult to either take out a few opponents or create a lot of space.

However, it should be noted that Star Lord is quite high in APM, which means his skill ceiling can be difficult to attain. You’ll need to aim well while moving around a lot, but if you can get the hang of it, he’ll be one of the better Duelists in that game.
