Summary
- Cancel attack animation by sprinting boosts Captain America's power in Marvel Rivals.
- Developers hint at new heroes and cosmetics, while fans uncover hidden mechanics.
- Utilize the sprint trick for effective damage output, but players are wary of it being patched.
A Marvel Rivals fan has come up with a brilliant strategy involving canceling an attack animation by sprinting, which makes Captain America far more powerful. While Captain America is one of the most popular characters in the MCU, he hasn't been as widely used as some of the other characters in Marvel Rivals.
Marvel Rivals has quickly established itself as one of the most popular hero shooters available. Since its launch, Marvel Rivals has shattered several records and it shows no sign of stopping. The developers seem to have some exciting stuff in store for fans as well. For instance, a leak revealed that three new heroes could be coming to Marvel Rivals in the near future. Alongside that, plenty of different cosmetics have made their way into the game in the past few days. Meanwhile, fans are still searching for hidden mechanics they can exploit, and one such player has found a brilliant strategy for Captain America.
Marvel Rivals Players Are Getting Sick of Galacta
Galacta is the announcer in Marvel Rivals matches, but some players find the character annoying to listen to while playing the game.
In a new tweet, user AV2RY reveals an extremely powerful trick to make Captain America more effective in Marvel Rivals. If a player cancels their attacks while playing as Captain America, it makes him faster. This essentially translates to much higher damage output as well, as he will be able to deliver more melee attacks in the same amount of time. However, pulling off this trick might require a bit of work from the players.
How to Cancel Attacks With Captain America in Marvel Rivals
In order to pull this trick, players will need to first ensure that they turn off the "Hold to Dash" setting in Marvel Rivals. This is crucial, as without this players will need to hold the dash button to sprint, making this trick practically useless. Once that's done, players are all set to start canceling their attacks by sprinting. In short, all users need to do is simply cycle between attacking and sprinting to deal tons of damage in a short span of time. However, fans are a bit skeptical about this trick as it seems like something more of an exploit in Marvel Rivals than a feature, so they think it might be patched in the near future.
This trick makes Captain America a really great attacker as well, an area where he falters compared to some other tanks in Marvel Rivals. With a new season slated to release in Marvel Rivals soon, it remains to be seen if the developers actually patch this trick or if it becomes an integral part of the meta.
