Hawkeye is a challenging hero to master, and it gets even more challenging while facing him in the opposition team. His agility and attacks that single out targets are what make him highly formidable. This makes it super important that you pick the right heroes to help you with this task. In this guide, we have put up a comprehensive list of all the best heroes to counter Hawkeye in Marvel Rivals.
Best Hawkeye Counters In Marvel Rivals
While trying to counter Hawkeye, you need to pick characters who can evade his singular attacks. Hawkeye thrives by using his charged attacks, which can be fatal when it hits a hero. The worst part is that you won’t know where his attacks come from, so there is a high chance of getting caught off guard. Even if you manage to corner him, his katana attacks are just as deadly and he can knock down any flying targets nearby. The best way to counter Hawkeye is to use heroes with high mobility and get a good team of flankers.
Star Lord
Star Lord is a great pick when it comes to locking into enemies using his Galactic Legend Ultimate Ability. You can also boost his movement speed to dodge Hawkeye’s attacks or even zip towards him. With all this, you are sure to corner Hawkeye and deal enough damage with Star Lord’s dual guns before Hawkeye even knows what hit him.
Doctor Strange
Doctor Strange’s ultimate ability can stun an unsuspecting Hawkeye, which will give your team ample time to get to him and deal damage. You can also create portals to quickly get from one place to another. So if you have spotted Hawkeye from a distance, you and your team can quickly teleport to his location. You can also use Strange’s Shield of the Seraphim to block all of Hawkeye’s attacks when you are near him or at a range.
Iron Fist
The best thing about Iron Fist’s skillset is that he can dash forward towards a targeted enemy and single-handedly deal attacks. Iron Fist’s ultimate ability can further enhance his speed and attacks, making it easier for you to track down Hawkeye. This hero is perfect for a dive assist, as you can easily corner Hawkeye with a little hit from your team and deal immense damage.
Captain America
You can use Captain America’s shield to toss at enemies, use it for defense, or even slam down with it. If you do spot Hawkeye up close or at a distance, Captain’s shield can quickly take care of it. Captain also has high mobility and can easily dash through the crowd to get to Hawkeye. You can also evade Hawkeye’s attack with the shield or by jumping high into the air.
Psylocke
Not only does Psylocke have extremely high mobility, she can also use stealth to get around Hawkeye’s attacks. If you have Hawkeye as your main focus, then you won’t have a problem using Psylocke to counter him. Plus, she also has attacks that can deal close and ranged damage, which gives her a lot of versatility on the field.
Loki
This is another hero who can trick Hawkeye with his skills. Loki can turn invisible and leave the area undetected to hunt for Hawkeye. Or he can shapeshift or even use doppelgangers to fool Hawkeye into getting close to him. While Loki does not have a lot of mobility, you can still try to lure Hawkeye towards you and trick him into revealing his position.
Spider-Man
Spider-Man has the best combo and speed attacks in the game, and setting him up against Hawkeye will guarantee that your team will not lose. Spidey can use his webbing to swing or grab hold of enemies to bring them towards him or swing towards them. Once caught in his web, Hawkeye can get stunned, leaving enough time for your team to flank him down.
