Heroes such as Venom, with his web-swinging dives and self-sustaining shields, and Groot, with his 700 HP and wall-spamming control, have become nightmares for opposing teams.In ranked play, where every move matters, their ability to withstand punishment while protecting squishier Duelists and Strategists has left opponents perplexed. Enter Wolverine, with his ferocious claws and health-scaling damage, has emerged as a go-to tank shredder, jumping into the action to capture and disassemble even the most formidable Vanguards. His savage fury has earned him repeated bans in high-level lobbies, demonstrating his potency against these titans. However, as players adjust, talks around an underappreciated hero are spreading an unexpected contender whose kit silently dismantles tanks with precision and elegance. While Wolverine cuts through the spotlight, this sleeper choice is being heralded as the best tank killer, set to change the meta.Forget Wolverine, Rocket Raccoon is being hailed as the best counter for Tanks in Marvel RivalsMarvel Rivals players on Reddit are hailing Rocket Raccoon as the best tank killer who can shred Vanguards across matches quicker than any other DPS hero would. User UnhingedGammaWarrior wrote with the meme shared below, No joke he will shred any tank in 6 seconds as long as theyre right in front of him. This also includes support killers such as Spider-Man and Ironfist. If you cant run, you can definitely fight.Rocket can dismantle tanks like Doctor Strange in seconds. Image by VideoGamer.But the user also points out how Rocket is still a great healer and says, I solo healed as Rocket in a Diamond II match against 3 enemy healers with one of them being a Lord Rocket. My team still won. Ill consider it luck backed up with great team work haha. They didnt even need a revive, but the AMPs came in clutch.Rockets primary fire attack is extremely lethal in close range as reported by players in the past, which resulted in one player NoDamageRocket only resorting to using his healing abilities to climb GM ranks. However, there are already some players who use Rockets kit offensively to shred dive heroes and now tanks, who have defensive capabilities.Players in the subreddit also suggested heroes that Rocket can take out instantly, for instance, Groot where one wrote, Throw in Groot. A good Rocket will make Groot miserable by destroying walls and then him.Another one suggested Rocket be used for Doctor Strange in a way only the tiny guardian can, Ive found a good way of handling Strange is to dash behind him while he has his shield up. Now he has to choose between turning and stopping you from shredding him, exposing his back to your team, or letting you shred him in favor of continuing to block your team.While Rocket is slowly rising as an unsung hero across competitive matches and even becoming a favored Strategist among pros, check out how you can play him to perfection in Marvel Rivals.Marvel RivalsPlatform(s):macOS, PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series S, Xbox Series XGenre(s):Fighting, ShooterRelated TopicsMarvel Rivals Subscribe to our newsletters!By subscribing, you agree to our Privacy Policy and may receive occasional deal communications; you can unsubscribe anytime.Share
