Marvel Rivals Namor guide: Abilities, ultimate, tips, more

As one of the simpler heroes in Marvel Rivals, Namor is a great introductory hero for new players. But don’t let his simplicity fool you, the king of the seas can still turn the tides of battle with the right approach.

With well over a dozen characters there’s plenty to wrap your head around in Marvel Rivals. Countless abilities, team-up moves, combos to master, and more. If it’s all a bit much, Namor is a great place to start as one of the simpler Duelists on offer.

Though don’t be thrown off by this simplicity, there’s still plenty of potential if you master him.

Blessing of the Deep

• Summon a protective barrier while flying upwards.

Aquatic Dominion

• Summon a Monstro Spawn that can autonomously attack enemies.

Namor might be a foe to Black Panther, but the two work surprisingly well as duo Duelists.

Tips to play Namor in Marvel Rivals 

As one of the simplest characters to learn in Marvel Rivals, Namor drops into battle with just three core abilities and his ultimate. Two of these abilities are summons, one providing some defense while the other sending out a friendly Monstro Spawn to distract your enemies.

Furthermore, Namor doesn’t even have a passive. So if you’re looking for a relatively beginner-friendly character to jump in with, Namor ticks that box. 

The best advice is to constantly use your abilities as they come off cooldown. As they’re mostly autonomous, and require little manual input from you, they should just be spammed out as often as possible to aid your team. 

When it comes to Namor’s ultimate, however, you’ll need a little more precision. Be sure to time this one just right, during the biggest teamgights, and you could just shift any battle in your favor.
