Rocket Raccoon is one of the Strategist heroes in Marvel Rivals. He is one of the best healers in the game and is also capable of putting out some amazing damage. Rocket Raccoon is an easy character to play and a companion that every team would love to have due to his strong heals and amazing buffs, amongst various other benefits. Let’s learn more about Rocket Raccoon below.
Rocket Raccoon is a Strategist hero with a good Health pool who benefits the team with heals, buffs, and, most importantly, revives. He is a really easy hero to play, but he is by no means weak. His normal attack deals a ridiculous amount of damage, on par with some DPS heroes. His RMB, on the other hand, is a decent heal, which you can use at any time and keep allies healthy. Unlike some of the other Strategists in the game, Rocket Raccoon focuses mostly on buffing allies by increasing their damage and reviving them! His [B.R.B.] skill, for example, sends out a beacon that can revive allies who have been killed within its range. This skill can be a game-changer for some fights. However, the beacon can be destroyed, so be careful when placing it. In addition to the revive ability, the beacon can also generate armor and jet packs, making it a good tool to have in team fights or drawn-out skirmishes.
Rocket Raccoon’s Ultimate also summons a beacon. This beacon, however, does not revive but rather boosts the damage of allies within its range by 40%. Combine this with the reviving ability of the B.R.B. beacon and the healing and damage of Rocket Raccoon, and you have a ridiculously powerful teammate. What’s best is that Rocket Raccoon also has a good deal of survivability thanks to his [Jetpack Dash] that lets him cover a significant amount of distance and also has two charges. While he may be easy to play, Rocket Raccoon is a support you should keep on your radar!
