Tips and Tricks
PLAYSTYLE AND STRENGTHS
Rage Mechanic: His passive (Berserker Rage) builds up as he deals or takes damage, boosting his damage and healing. The more rage he has, the stronger he gets.
Survivability: His E (Undying Animal) reduces incoming damage by 40%, making him tankier in the heat of battle. Plus, his passive (Regenerative Healing Factor) gives him bonus health when he’s low, helping him stay in the fight longer.
Ultimate Power: His Q (Last Stand) knocks enemies into the air and slams them down, dealing massive damage based on their max health. It’s perfect for finishing off groups or turning the tide of a fight.
Close-Range Powerhouse: His left-click (Savage Claw) deals damage based on the enemy’s max health, making him deadly against tanks and squishies alike.
Mobility and Crowd Control: His L-Shift (Feral Leap) lets him jump into fights, grab enemies, and smash them into the ground. It also boosts his left-click into a faster, stronger version for a few seconds.
WEAKNESSES
Cooldown Reliant: His L-Shift and E have long cooldowns, so you need to time them carefully. If you waste them, you’re left vulnerable.
Limited Mobility: While his L-Shift and right-click (Vicious Rampage) help him close gaps, he lacks the mobility to escape or chase down fast enemies like Spider-Man or Cloak and Dagger.
Reliant on Positioning: If he’s caught out of position or misses his L-Shift (Feral Leap), he can get focused down quickly, especially without his E (Undying Animal) ready.
Ultimate Can Be Dodged: His Q (Last Stand) is powerful, but enemies can dodge the slam if they’re quick or have mobility skills.
Weak Against Ranged Heroes: Wolverine struggles against flying or ranged heroes like Iron Man or Black Widow, who can kite him and chip away at his health from a distance.
