Wolverine’s Abilities Overview
Wolverine’s kit is quite deceptive; it looks simple on the surface but is actually quite layered.His kit revolves around the Rage mechanic, which essentially means the more damage you do, the angrier you get, and the angrier you get, the more damage you will deal.

Savage Claw
Basic claw attack. Stronger after using Feral Leap.
Feral Leap
Leaps at and slams an enemy. Makes claw attacks stronger briefly.
Vicious Rampage
Dashes forward with a claw attack. Good for closing distance.

Howl and get a 50% damage reduction for a short time.
Last Stand (Ultimate)
Launches and spins through enemies before slamming them down. More damage with more Rage.
Regenerative Healing Factor

Wolverine Counters and How to Deal With Them
Being a melee character,Wolverine’s biggest weakness is that he has to be up and close to do any damage at all.Thankfully, he has some pretty solid mobility to help him bridge that gap, but a smart ranged player can make easy work of him.
Duelists like Hawkeye, The Punisher, Winter Soldier, and Black Widow can be big threats if you don’t close the distance.Dealing with them is as simple as closing the distance and hitting your combos.
Generally speaking,Wolverine is a tank-buster, and, in most cases, you should not go for Duelists unless you see a good opportunity. Just fight with your tank at the objective.
Even though he is designed to be a tank-killing machine, Peni Parker andDoctor Strangewill give him a very tough time because of their ranged attacks.
Both tanks can attack from a distance and can be troubling to deal with. Doctor Strange can launch himself into the sky and levitate, whereas Peni Parker can just shut you down with her right-click.
As for healers, Luna Snow and Mantis can be annoying as they can shut them down with their CC abilities. Just be careful while targeting them. Usually, you shouldn’t, as it’s not your job to take down the healer.
Best Team Comps With Wolverine
For the best team comp, you should ideally pair Wolverine with one melee and one range duelist. The rest is up to you. you’re able to go with two healers, one tank, or one healer with two tanks.
Punisher, Namor, andHelaare good ranged duelists to pair him upwith, whereas Magik, Black Panther, and Iron Fist can help him in close-quarters brawls.
For tanks,Hulk andMagnetowork well as both of them can shield their teammates, giving Wolverine a bit of extra sustainability, which just adds to his tankiness.
For healers, you can pretty much go with anything.Luna Snow, Mantis, andAdam Warlockare s-tier healers in the current meta, so they are the best picks, generally speaking.
