How To Play Namor in Marvel Rivals
Namor’s Survivability
Namor is another squishy character on the roster with only 275 base health. With this health, he is pretty easy to take down when you are not taking good care of your opponents easily. However, his base health should not be mistaken because he can literally turn invincible at the click of a button.
Whenever things get overwhelming, or you need protection fromscary Ultimates, you’re able to just use theBlessing of the Deepto become invincible for 3 seconds. A sphere will take over Namor and he can move around with a speed of 7m/s. He can also receive heals from his healers in this form but won’t receive any damage. This ability has a 15-second cooldown. So, his survivability is not unbreachable.
Namor’s Mobility
The only thing about Namor’s mobility that you should know about is the invincible sphere ability that we just mentioned. Unfortunately, he cannot use his mutant ankle wings to fly or levitate. So, outside his sphere ability which has a 15-second cooldown, he is just a regular hero with a 6m/s movement speed.
The most mobility that you can get out of Namor is by binding his jump to a button which is easily accessible to you. This way, he will have better mobility while playing and also be harder to take down because he will then become a “moving target” rather than a sitting duck.
Namor Playstyle and Combos
Namor’s playstyle is all about being aggressive since he is a Duelist. However, one thing to note here is that “aggression” doesn’t mean that you have to be on the frontline at all times. In fact, Namor is meant to be played at mid-to-back lines. So, you can’t dive or tank damage with this character because of his squishy health and how his Ability Kit is.
The best “combo” in this scenario is to tackle against diving characters in the backline. Simply use yourAquatic DominionAbility twice in a row and use theWrath of the Seven Seasattack at the feet of the diver. This will send your Monstro Spawn into a frenzy, increasing their rate of fire after they hit a powerful attack. It can lay waste to the best Spider-Man and Black Panther players quickly.
Your primary attack does 70 damage per hit. However, if you hit a critical hit (headshot), the Aquatic Dominion will cool down faster. Moreover, headshots will also increase the spawns’ fire rate immediately. Don’t forget that you may only summon two of these at a time. So, if you have a Luna Snow on your team, send one regular spawn and a frozen spawn if you have one ready.
Best Team Composition With Namor in Marvel Rivals
We will keep this team comp as aggressive as possible to exterminate those enemies quickly. To start off, we have only one Vanguard, and that isMagneto. He can tank a lot of damage based on his abilities and also provide a shield to his allies in need.
Helacan stay at mid-long range with Namor to deal damage and help the support when they are in dire need.Magik, however, will be the diver that this team needs. She can coordinate attacks with both Namor and Hela to ensure quick kills.
Luna Snowwill ensure that Namor gets his benefit from the Team-up while giving the same power toJeffas well. The latter can also heal faster than Luna and be an effective ally when Namor is in his shield.
Namor Counters in Marvel Rivals
The following characters hard counter Namor:
Storm and Iron Man can soar through the skies and keep away from Namor’s Monstro Spawn while also shooting him effectively enough to kill him.
Hawkeye and Black Widow can “snipe” him from across the corridor. Since Namor will have difficulty replying with the same range, he can easily be taken down. Not to forget that he is a squishy character by base health.
Moon Knight doesn’t even need to be in his line of sight to put down Namor, making him one of the best counters against this character because he can also dodge his Monstro Spawn pretty easily. On the other hand, The Punisher can deliver high DPS against him in a short time while Winter Soldier can literally “abduct” Namor using his arm hook and let his team make short work of him.
