Poke Hold

Hold the next corner and high ground. Make them walk into Hela. Do not overpeek the cart when you already have the choke.

Best for: Defense on long sightlines that keeps walking into melee range for no reason

Marvel Rivals poke hold on Midtown

Step-by-step

  1. 1

    Poke Duelists take high ground / broken windows. Vanguard holds the corner the cart must pass.

  2. 2

    Strategists stand in cover that still exists. A broken wall is not cover.

  3. 3

    Spend chip to force cooldowns. Do not dump defensive ults on poke.

  4. 4

    When they dive, peel the backline first, then return to the cart. The cart can wait two seconds; a dead Luna cannot.

  5. 5

    If they smash the hold with a full dive + ult, fall to the next corner as a group. Hero peeks after a lost hold are stagger.

Tips

  • Namor, Hela, Punisher, Hawkeye are the classroom. Melee Duelists are the wrong tool for this hold.
  • Destruction cuts both ways. The hole you made is their Hela hole too.
  • On attack, this is the 'take high ground after the tank walks' pattern in reverse.
