Adam Warlock is a versatile Strategist hero in Marvel Rivals who excels at supporting his team. He dishes out consistent damage with his Quantum Magic while keeping teammates alive using healing abilities like Soul Bond and Avatar Life Stream. His ultimate, Karmic Revival, revives fallen allies with temporary invincibility, and his passive, Regenerative Cocoon, gives him a chance to reposition after being taken down. His team-up ability, Soul Perseverance, further enhances the revival power of heroes like Star‑Lord and Mantis, making him a key support asset.

How to Play Adam Warlock in Marvel Rivals

Balance Damage and Healing: Adam Warlock excels as an 'off-healer', providing potent but limited healing while contributing significant damage. Utilize his Quantum Magic primary attack to consistently pressure enemies, and reserve Avatar Life Stream for critical healing moments due to its cooldown constraints.
Strategic Use of Soul Bond: The Soul Bond ability links Adam with nearby allies, distributing incoming damage among them and offering continuous healing. Activate this during anticipated heavy damage phases or to mitigate powerful enemy ultimates, ensuring your team can withstand intense assaults.
Optimal Positioning and Awareness: Given Adam's limited mobility, maintain a position that allows you to support your team while staying protected. Utilize cover and avoid overextending, especially against high-mobility enemies like Spider-Man or Black Panther who can exploit your vulnerabilities.
Effective Ultimate Deployment: Karmic Revival enables Adam to resurrect fallen allies within its radius. Due to its casting time and vulnerability during activation, choose a safe location to deploy it, preferably when the enemy team is distracted or after they've expended key abilities. This ensures a successful revival without immediate threat to you or your teammates.
Adaptability to Team Composition and Matchups: Adam's effectiveness can vary based on team dynamics and enemy compositions. In matches where the enemy employs frequent dives or targets the backline, consider coordinating closely with another Strategist or adjusting your playstyle to provide more defensive support. Flexibility and awareness are crucial to maximizing Adam's impact in various scenarios.
