Everyone’s favorite Ragin’ Cajun has finally come to Marvel Rivals, along with all the exploding cards you could want. And while Gambit is undeniably one of the most stylish Marvel characters, it also turns out that he’s one of the most dynamic to play as. His inclusion has made me finally accept a truth about Rivals — healers are, by far, the most well-designed characters in the game. I’d even argue that they’re the most fun to play, and as someone who usually avoids healing like the plague, that’s a tremendous surprise.
Marvel Rivals is no stranger to complex, multifaceted characters, and Gambit certainly fits that bill. Part of what’s so fascinating about Healers (aka Strategists) in Rivals is how effectively they’re tuned toward offense. These aren’t characters that only focus on healing, but can turn the tide of battle, and rack up some serious damage in the process.
