How To Play As Namor In Marvel Rivals
What makes Namor a tankier defense hero is his ability to spawn not just one but two Monstro Spawn turrets. While these turrets can easily fall apart from enemy attacks, utilizing them at the start of the match has its advantages. You can quickly push back enemies while making way for your allies to move forward. If you can activate Wrath of the Seven Seas while any of the Monstro Spaws are active, then you can deal additional special damage to a target. You can also reposition Namor when things get too heated with his Blessing of the Deep ability. This can help you get out of tricky situations and also mitigate any damage received.
While Namor’s skill set doesn’t have a lot of complex maneuvers to offer, you can still utilize Aquatic Dominion with Wrath of the Seven Seas to deal ample damage on the field. It is best to have Luna Snow on your team so Namor can use his Team Up ability and summon a special type of Monstro Spawn. Pair him up alongside other tankier heroes like Iron Man or Captain America so they can work together to push through the match. Namor works better in a team rather than solo, so have a healer like Mantis or Luna Snow with any Vanguard or Duelist to turn the match in your favor.
