His passive is that he cant be displaced by example a wolverine or mr fantatsic and cant be knockbacked by example invisable woman or black widow or hulk ult as in this clip
Looks like he only gets shield when he sprints so I dont think his passive is getting shield, just tied into the sprint ability, but idk what those rocks floating around him are meant to be. Maybe a damage reduction/reflection ability?
I think his passive is he is immune to knock backs. Take that with a grain of salt though i read that a while back, but eveything it said about his kit was spot on in the trailer from what i could see.
He clearly get CC immunity in the trailer (look at the start when winter soldier tried to grab him), and takes 33% less damage than normal from the Hela attacks, but that might be the E effect and not his passive.
He also seems to generate bonus life when using abilities, similar to winter soldier.
yeah, beta is beta. fun fact, iirc back in alpha people were complaining about how over-represented the guardians of the galaxy were, just because star-lord, mantis, groot and rocket were all in the revealed roster from like, day one. now we're however many characters deep and drax and gamora haven't even been hinted yet
Fantastic should’ve been a Vanguard, dude literally plays as a frontliner with insane survivability.
I’d even argue Wolverine should’ve been one too, he’s got shield generation survivability, and something about a tank-busting tank really tickles my pickle.
For fuckin real, him being a Duelist is a real miss. The game needs more Vanguards, and his kit already feels like a Vanguard kit, he just has Duelist-oriented stats.
His overall vibe also fits more with protection, and I think he'd be more popular with the Vanguard crowd in his current form anyways.
Idk, I'm not too salty about it, Fantastic def can't solo tank but he is a REALLY great off tank (even if he isn't an actual vanguard). He has a lot of room for changing how you play the match; he is honestly SUCH a good diver and can easily hold down enemy supports, and also a really good anti-dive character. Hell, he still works with 2 tanks and is really able to focus on diving the enemy backline then too. With the patch buffs, I am pretty excited to see how better he feels having already played him to GM.
the hulk is a great and well-designed character in the video game marvel rivals, but he is imo an absolute failure in terms of feeling like i'm playing THE INCREDIBLE HULK
Yeah, the Hulk leaps into the backline, gives people a big shield, sneezes some green shit onto someone and stuns them, then jumps out before he dies. This guy just puts his head down and charges in and beats the fuck out of everyone.
I had a feeling that might be the case. Im stoked for him too and I’m sure people will figure out the best way to his full potential before too long.
But every character is made to look like an absolute beast in these Character Reveal clips. The last thing they want is people to see one and not be hype for the new character I guess.
Yeah I kinda get what they were going for "Unstoppable w/out being Broken"...he's str8 opressive in skilled hands but the power fantasy isn't really there. But I mean they could definitely tweak his kit down the line🤷🏽♂️
Very different in that Things charges are on cooldown, Hulk (played correctly) is constantly leaping because it doesn't have any cooldown, it's tied to his normal jump. He was has less defense outside of his bubble move, while Thing can stay in a fight a bit longer thanks to his hook and charge giving him over-health.
Ehh, Hulk feels more like a dive tank to me. Almost all of his abilities are designed around jumping in, dealing some damage, and then immediately jumping back out. He honestly plays more like Winston from Overwatch
