“Deadpool Tackles Triple Roles in Marvel’s Rivals”
NetEase has announced a new season of Marvel Rivals, debuting soon, featuring Deadpool as a unique character. In an unprecedented move, Deadpool can switch between three core archetypes: Vanguards, Duelists, and Strategists.
Deadpool’s Unique Gameplay Mechanics
Players will experience a versatile gameplay style with Deadpool’s introduction. The character can dynamically transition between roles during a match:
- Vanguard: Provides protective shielding using unicorn plushies.
- Duelist: Delivers damage at various ranges with katanas and pistols.
- Strategist: Supports allies by healing while dealing damage.
Deadpool can change roles by returning to his team’s spawn point, either while retreating or after being defeated.
Progression and Abilities
Deadpool features a distinct progression system that sets him apart from other characters. Throughout a match, he can level up, enhancing his abilities. Unlike other heroes, his ultimate ability charges through a style-grade system, incentivizing flashy combat.
In gameplay footage, Deadpool’s ultimate appears to target specific opponents, dealing damage or providing healing and shielding auras based on his role. This approach reflects his unpredictable and meta-centric style, ensuring an engaging experience for players.
As the new season launches on January 16, gamers are eager to see how Deadpool’s multifaceted character will influence the Marvel Rivals meta.
