Tips to play The Punisher in Marvel Rivals
The name of the game when playing the Punisher is to poke from medium range from the enemies as he can dish out a lot of damage from afar.
When it comes to dealing poke damage, you have to remember it’s a game of patience as you want to constantly damage the enemies to the point they keep using up resources, so make sure you keep whittling down their HP.
The Punisher is a glass cannon, so just remember that even if you can melt down enemy health bars like it’s nothing, a well-coordinated dive will wipe you out instantly so make sure you’re always playing amongst your teams so you won’t be as vulnerable.
Despite being somewhat vulnerable, luckily your shotgun, Deliverance, and Culling Turret’s ability to dish out damage is fantastic if an enemy is trying to flank you, so make sure you’re using it in those moments.
Of course, don’t let that stop you from being a flanking Punisher, as with his Vantage Connection you can pull off some sneaky flanks by traversing terrain, but that’s best left to the Scarlet Witches and Helas.
