How to Counter Iron Man in Marvel Rivals

Iron Man is one of the strongest duelists in Marvel Rivalsas he can fly around the map and rain down powerful missiles on his enemies. The problem is that his flying makes him a hard target to hit and if left unchecked he can wipe out your entire team.

There's no doubt that Iron Man is one of the most annoying heroes to play against, especially at lower ranks, where players are too engrossed in fights while the flying menace piles up kills in peace. If you're looking for a hard drive, this guide will ensure that the next Iron Man you meet is forced to switch heroes.

How to counter Iron Man

Iron Man's greatest strength is his ability to fly where melee heroes can't touch him. Additionally, he can fire missiles that deal AoE damage and can hit multiple targets at once. His ultimate is also very powerful where he releases an explosion that can wipe out multiple heroes in one hit.

But if you play a ranged hero who can deal with the damage sustainedIron Man will stop being a problem. Once you pick a character that can deal ranged damage (Punisher or Hawkeye for example), you can pretty much track his movements no matter how much he flies and take him down within seconds.

In addition, some heroes have the ability to stun or knock down flying characters, and they work pretty well against Iron Man. This is because he will be knocked down from the sky and once he is at ground level Iron Man's threat is greatly reduced. It's all about picking the right counter and that's enough to take him down.

How to Counter Iron Man as a Strategist

Countering Iron Man as a strategist is pretty easy as there are heroes that can shut him down very quickly. The two heroes that are highly recommended against Iron Man are Luna Snow and Cloak & Dagger.

Luna can freeze Iron Man, bringing him down to ground level, making him an easy target. Cloak & Dagger can change into Cloak form and drain Iron Man's HP, which will either kill him or force him to fly away. Additionally, you can also blind Iron Man with the Cloak and Dagger's Terror Cap ability, making him an easy target as well.

Finally, Rocket Raccoonwith his Bombard Mode ability, can shoot Iron Man down from the sky, which is also an effective way to deal with him.

Mantis is also a decent counter to Iron Man as she can put him to sleep, although it can be a bit difficult when he's flying. Also, her basic attacks also hit pretty hard and you can kill him if you can land your shots.

How to Counter Iron Man as a Vanguard

When it comes to Vanguards, you have a couple of options for dealing with Iron Man. The first option to join is Holk who can knock Iron Man out of the sky with his Incredible Leap ability. Additionally, Hulk can stun Iron Man with his Gamma Burst ability, further creating openings for your team to take the latter down fairly easily.

Penny Parker can use her Cyber-Web Cluster ability to shoot down Iron Man while using the Cyber-Web Snare ability to stun him. Using the Cyber-Web Snare on Iron Man will drop him from the sky, making him an easy target to deal with.

It's also important to remember that Peni Parker has infinite ammo where you don't need to reload, making it even easier to shut down Iron Man.

Magneto is a decent counter to Iron Man as his Iron Bulwark and Metal Bulwark abilities can absorb damage, preventing Iron Man from playing effectively.

How to Counter Iron Man as a Duelist

When it comes to Duelists, there are several options that allow you to handle Iron. Punisher is the best counter to the flying menace as the former can simply spam his basic attacks and gun down Iron Man. Also, the Punisher's ultimate is dangerous, and it can tear through Iron Man in seconds.

Hawkeye is another great Iron Man counter as he can knock the latter down with his Hypersonic Arrow. Hawkeye's charged attacks are also deadly, as they can one-shot Iron Man at any moment. Finally, Hawkeye's ultimate is able to track down Iron Man's afterimages and shut the latter down regardless of where he tries to fly away.

Whole is also very good against Hawkeye as she can sustain ranged damage which is one of the best counters to Iron Man.

Spider-Man is also a good counter to Iron Man as the former can stun the latter with his ultimate and Get Over Here abilities. The problem is that Spider-Man is difficult to play, so only the best players will be able to control him properly.
