Marvel Rivals: A Deep Dive into Mister Fantastic's Abilities and Gameplay
Marvel Rivals delivers a captivating hero-shooter experience, boasting diverse gameplay and stunning visuals. As the game evolves, new characters continually enrich the roster. Season 1 introduces iconic Fantastic Four heroes, including the versatile Mister Fantastic.
Mister Fantastic, a formidable duelist, excels at rapid movement and significant damage contribution. His unique ability to grapple and pull himself towards allies or enemies is central to his playstyle. Each new duelist alters the game's meta, making their impact unpredictable.
Quick Links
Mister Fantastic's Primary Attack
Effective duelists require a strong primary attack. Mister Fantastic's "Stretch Punch," a three-hit combo (two single-fist strikes followed by a two-handed strike), is surprisingly versatile. The stretched arm continues to inflict damage on all enemies it contacts during its trajectory, enabling area-of-effect damage. This compares favorably to other heroes like Storm, whose Wind Blade also often hits multiple targets.
Mister Fantastic's Abilities
Mister Fantastic possesses a range of abilities (best explored in the training room) that build towards a powerful damage-boosting passive. His base health is 350, but shields significantly enhance his survivability. "Elasticity," a value displayed near the crosshair, is crucial; each basic attack generates 5 Elasticity, aiming for 100 for maximum effect. He has a 3-star difficulty rating, making him challenging but learnable for players of all skill levels.
Reflexive Rubber
- Active Ability
- 12-second duration
Mister Fantastic transforms into a rectangular shape, absorbing incoming damage. Upon expiration, he unleashes the stored damage in the direction of the player's reticle.
Flexible Elongation
- Active Ability
- 3-second duration
- Generates 30 Elasticity
Grants a shield (boosting health from 350 to 425), pulling Mister Fantastic towards the target. This deals damage to enemies or provides a shield to allies, offering tactical flexibility. Two charges allow for strategic use.
Distended Grip
- Active Ability
- 6-second duration
- Generates 30 Elasticity
Mister Fantastic grabs a target, presenting two options: "Dash" (pulls him towards the target) or "Impact" (pulls the grappled enemy towards him, dealing additional damage). Grappling a second enemy allows him to slam them together, damaging both.
Wedded Harmony
- Team-Up Ability (requires Invisible Woman)
- 20-second duration
Heals Mister Fantastic for lost health (no shield granted). This synergizes well with Invisible Woman, a Strategist character.
Elastic Strength
- Passive Ability
Each ability use builds Elasticity, increasing damage output. At maximum Elasticity, Mister Fantastic transforms, gaining significantly increased damage and a substantial shield (which decays after the transformation ends). Damage output is key to maintaining the inflated state.
Brainiac Bounce
- Ultimate Ability
Mister Fantastic leaps and repeatedly crashes down in a targeted area, dealing significant area-of-effect damage. Ideal for clustered enemies.
Tips for Mastering Mister Fantastic
Mister Fantastic's damage mitigation and shield generation make him surprisingly tanky.
Flexible Reflection Combo
Combining Flexible Elongation and Reflexive Rubber provides shields for both Mister Fantastic and an ally, while simultaneously absorbing enemy attacks before unleashing stored damage.
Strategic Use of Reflexive Rubber
While crucial for building Elastic Strength, Reflexive Rubber can be used strategically even without needing the passive, maximizing his inflated state for both objective control and damage. Stacking shields (e.g., from two Flexible Elongations) before inflation can boost his health pool to a staggering 950.
