Marvel Rivals: A Deep Dive into Mister Fantastic's Abilities and Gameplay
Marvel Rivals offers a thrilling hero-shooter experience, boasting diverse characters and stunning visuals. As the game evolves, new heroes are constantly introduced, enriching the gameplay. Season 1 introduces iconic Fantastic Four heroes, with Mister Fantastic leading the charge.
Mister Fantastic, a formidable duelist, excels at rapid movement and significant damage contribution. His unique ability to grapple and pull himself towards allies or enemies is central to his playstyle. The introduction of each new duelist alters the game's meta, impacting their effectiveness across various maps.
Quick Links
Mister Fantastic's Primary Attack
Effective duelists require a strong primary attack. Mister Fantastic's Stretch Punch, while lacking a secondary attack, is surprisingly versatile. This three-hit combo utilizes a single fist for the first two strikes, culminating in a two-fisted final blow. The stretched arm continues to inflict damage as it's dragged through targets, impacting multiple enemies with area-of-effect damage. This compares favorably to other heroes like Storm, whose Wind Blade also often hits multiple enemies.
Mister Fantastic's Abilities
Mister Fantastic possesses a range of abilities, best explored in the training room. Each ability contributes to a damage-boosting passive. When fully charged, this passive becomes a significant threat. Key stats to monitor include his health and Elasticity.
Mister Fantastic starts with 350 health but utilizes shields for enhanced survivability, exceeding expectations for a duelist. Elasticity, displayed beneath the crosshair, is crucial. Basic attacks generate 5 Elasticity each; aiming for 100 Elasticity is key. He has a 3-star difficulty rating, making him challenging yet manageable for players of all skill levels.
Reflexive Rubber
- Active Ability
- 12-second duration
Mister Fantastic transforms into a rectangular shape, absorbing incoming damage. Upon expiration, the stored damage is unleashed in the direction of the player's reticle.
Flexible Elongation
- Active Ability
- 3-second duration
- Generates 30 Elasticity
This ability provides a shield, boosting health from 350 to 425. Mister Fantastic pulls himself towards the target, dealing damage to enemies or granting a shield to allies, offering tactical flexibility. It has two charges.
Distended Grip
- Active Ability
- 6-second duration
- Generates 30 Elasticity
This versatile ability allows Mister Fantastic to grapple a target, offering three options: Dash (pulls him towards the target without a shield), Impact (pulls the grappled enemy towards him, dealing damage), and a double grapple, slamming two enemies together for increased damage.
Wedded Harmony
- Team-Up Ability (requires Invisible Woman)
- 20-second duration
This ability heals Mister Fantastic for lost health (no shield granted). It synergizes well with Invisible Woman, a Strategist character.
Elastic Strength
- Passive Ability
Each ability use builds Elasticity, increasing damage output. At maximum Elasticity, Mister Fantastic transforms, gaining a significant damage and shield boost. The shield decays before he reverts to his original form, but the damage boost encourages players to maximize its potential.
Brainiac Bounce
- Ultimate Ability
Mister Fantastic leaps and crashes down, dealing area-of-effect damage, then bounces to repeat the attack, devastating grouped enemies.
Tips for Mastering Mister Fantastic
Mister Fantastic's damage mitigation and shield generation make him surprisingly tanky.
Flexible Reflection Combo
Combining Flexible Elongation and Reflexive Rubber provides shields for both Mister Fantastic and an ally, allowing for immediate damage absorption and ally protection.
Strategic Use of Reflexive Rubber
While crucial for building Elastic Strength, Reflexive Rubber can be used strategically even without needing the passive boost, maximizing his inflated state and overall team contribution. Stacking shields can raise his health pool to a remarkable 950.
