Marvel Rivals “Hawkeye” Character Reveal Trailer Features the Sharpshooter’s Abilities
NetEase has just sprung a surprise character reveal for upcoming free-to-play hero multiplayer game, Marvel Rivals, and it confirms Hawkeye’s inclusion in the roster.
Clint Barton, which is the real legal name of the superhero, uses arrows at his disposal and a lot of fancy shooting to keep pace against the other heroes he goes up against. As one might expect, Hawkeye is a damage character, which is known as a “Duelist” in Marvel Rivals.
What can Hawkeye do in Marvel Rivals? Here’s a a quick rundown of his abilities:
DIFFICULTY – 4/5 Stars
TEAM-UP – ANCHOR
ATTACKS
- PIERCING ARROW – Shoot a powerful arrow.
- BLAST ARROW – Shoot three explosive arrows.
ABILITIES
- HUNTER’S SIGHT – Capture Afterimages of enemies in his view. Damage dealt to an Afterimage is transferred to the corresponding enemy.
- CRESCENT SLASH -Unsheathe a katana and slash forward, Knocking hit enemies airborne.
- HYPERSONIC ARROW – Shoot a Hypersonic Arrow, dealing additional damage to enemies in its path.
- RONIN SLASH – Swing the wakizashi to strike frontal enemies, deflecting all incoming projectiles.
- SKYWARD LEAP – Perform a double jump in the direction of movement.
- (Passive) ARCHER’S FOCUS – Aim at an enemy to improve focus, enhancing the damage inflicted by Piercing Arrow.
Hawkeye also has a double jump. and as one might imagine, he closely resembles Hanzo from Overwatch in terms of usage. Unless I’m mistaken, he has a one-shot kill ability, which I’m not sure how I feel about at the moment.
Marvel Rivals launches as a F2P game this December 6 on the PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC, and will feature 33 heroes playable at launch. Check out our interview of NetEase where we ask all sorts of Marvel Rivals questions including microtransactions, balancing and more.
