The fastest means of winning is to score eliminations quickly. While many characters are capable of damage,the specific map of Sanctum Sanctorumneeds to be heavily considered.

Characters To Pick For Shear Survival

Aim To Stay Alive And Deny Points To Enemies

As you reach higher on the scoreboard, you can secure your winning place by using a more durable character. However, you mustdie at least once to switch your character. This is further helped by hunting down all the health packs and rushing to them when your health gets low. These include a mix of Duelists, Vanguards, and even a few Strategists inMarvel Rivals.

If you still want to deal a respectable amount of damage, consider using eitherIron Fist orMr. Fantastic inMarvel Rivals. Iron Fist deals a lot of quick damage and can heal with Harmony Recovery. Mr. Fantastic can stay alive for a long time with the use of Reflexive Rubber and the shield granted from inflated mode. Plus, you may not know how to deal with such a new character.

You can also hide out asLokiand let his clones do all the work. However, the most important thing is to stick to your favorite character inMarvel Rivals.
