At best, her Lightforce Dagger primary attack has some light auto-lock capabilities, while standing in her Dagger Storm impact area can provide some emergency healing as you wait for backup.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1278\" height=\"719\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1278px) 100vw, 1278px\" src=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/2025013-43457-003.jpg\" alt=\"Cloak's Terror Cape\" class=\"wp-image-43461\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/2025013-43457-003.jpg 1278w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/2025013-43457-003-380x214.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/2025013-43457-003-768x432.jpg 768w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>To raise your odds when up against dive heroes, you\u2019ll want to switch over to Cloak. As Cloak, you\u2019ll have access to his Darkforce Cloak primary attack which does continuous damage to a single targeted enemy within 20 meters. You\u2019ll also be able to temporarily blind foes and increase the damage they receive with a well-aimed Terror Cape. If they still manage to get a lock on you, Dark Teleportation allows you to phase yourself and nearby allies, making all of you un-targetable and invisible while gaining a movement boost for a short while. Dark Teleportation is also good for protecting your team against ultimate abilities like Iron Man\u2019s Invincible Pulse Canon and The Punisher\u2019s Final Judgement. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"716\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" src=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/2025013-43457-004.jpg\" alt=\"Cloak's Dark Teleportation\" class=\"wp-image-43462\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/2025013-43457-004.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/2025013-43457-004-380x213.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/2025013-43457-004-768x430.jpg 768w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>While Terror Cape and Dark Teleportation can be used to help your team during decisive fights, their relatively long cooldowns mean you usually want to save them for yourself. Look at the enemy team composition and see if there are any heroes that you need to be mindful of. If a Psylocke or Black Panther makes a beeline for you or another Strategist, switch over to Cloak so you can either blind them or go invisible.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It goes without saying that while Cloak &amp; Dagger\u2019s ultimate ability, Eternal Bond, can damage enemies and heal teammates, you generally shouldn\u2019t use it to fend off enemies that are diving you. The same rule applies to all the Strategists\u2019 ultimate abilities, as proper usage of them can quickly turn the tide of a fight.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1272\" height=\"716\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1272px) 100vw, 1272px\" src=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/2025013-43457-005.jpg\" alt=\"Luna Snow in Marvel Rivals\" class=\"wp-image-43463\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/2025013-43457-005.jpg 1272w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/2025013-43457-005-380x214.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/2025013-43457-005-768x432.jpg 768w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"absolute-zero-is-luna-snow-s-saving-grace\">Absolute Zero is Luna Snow\u2019s saving grace&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Though she may be one of Marvel Rivals\u2019 best Strategists when it comes to simultaneously healing and attacking, Luna Snow\u2019s average mobility and small projectiles make it hard for her to deal with diving foes. Her survival greatly depends on hitting enemies with Absolute Zero, which momentarily freezes targets and restores your health. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Think of the ability like a shotgun blast, where you wait for the enemy to get close before freezing them with an ice ball. Hit them and you\u2019ll be able to capitalize with either her Light &amp; Dark Ice primary attack or Ice Arts ability. You can even run and jump away using her Smooth Skate passive. Miss the Absolute Zero ice ball, however, and you\u2019ll quickly find yourself back in the spawn room.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1274\" height=\"717\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1274px) 100vw, 1274px\" src=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/2025013-43457-006.jpg\" alt=\"Luna Snow's Absolute Zero missing\" class=\"wp-image-43464\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/2025013-43457-006.jpg 1274w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/2025013-43457-006-380x214.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/2025013-43457-006-768x432.jpg 768w\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">A case of an Absolute Zero projectile missing<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Since Luna Snow\u2019s Cryo Heart passive allows her to heal herself whenever she casts Ice Arts or Absolute Zero, you\u2019ll find yourself surviving for longer than you might expect. Use this time to carefully assess whether you should go on the offensive or make a tactical retreat.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1273\" height=\"717\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1273px) 100vw, 1273px\" src=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/2025013-43457-007.jpg\" alt=\"Mantis in Marvel Rivals\" class=\"wp-image-43465\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/2025013-43457-007.jpg 1273w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/2025013-43457-007-380x214.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/2025013-43457-007-768x433.jpg 768w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"mantis-is-the-critical-hit-queen-of-strategists\">Mantis is the critical hit queen of Strategists&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Most dive heroes want to close the distance between their targets, which is great for Mantis as all she needs to do is aim at the floor with her Spore Slumber ability. Spore Slumber emits a bomb that quickly puts the nearest enemy to sleep, allowing Mantis and her team to capitalize with an easy critical hit. Any damage done to a sleeping enemy will wake them, so a strong, single-fire shot from Black Widow\u2019s Red Room Rifle or Hawkeye\u2019s Piercing Arrow would be an ideal wake-up attack. Conversely, allies of the sleeping hero can attack the Mantis illusion that appears behind their comrade to preemptively wake them up.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1276\" height=\"721\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1276px) 100vw, 1276px\" src=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/2025013-43457-008.jpg\" alt=\"Mantis's Spore Slumber\" class=\"wp-image-43466\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/2025013-43457-008.jpg 1276w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/2025013-43457-008-380x215.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/2025013-43457-008-768x434.jpg 768w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Mantis\u2019s attacks are no slouch either, as her Life Energy Blast primary attack has critical hit capabilities that feed directly into her Life Orb mechanic. Life Orbs can be used to heal allies with Healing Flower, but they can also power Mantis\u2019s Natural Anger and Allied Inspiration abilities, which temporarily increase her and teammates\u2019 damage respectively. Buffing either your allies or yourself before each fight will increase your damage potential and catch diving heroes by surprise. Continue attacking foes while your Soul Resurgence ultimate ability is up to make full use of your increased survivability and increase your team\u2019s damage output.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1278\" height=\"718\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1278px) 100vw, 1278px\" src=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/2025013-43457-009.jpg\" alt=\"Mantis Double K.O.\" class=\"wp-image-43467\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/2025013-43457-009.jpg 1278w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/2025013-43457-009-380x213.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/2025013-43457-009-768x431.jpg 768w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Sadly, Mantis doesn\u2019t have much in the way of mobility options. Her Nature\u2019s Favor passive only gives her a movement boost when she is out of combat and her Soul Resurgence ultimate is best saved for team fights.\u00a0 You\u2019ll be fighting diving heroes more than fleeing from them, but luckily, Mantis has more than enough offensive options to take care of herself.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1276\" height=\"718\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1276px) 100vw, 1276px\" src=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/2025013-43457-010.jpg\" alt=\"Adam Warlock in Marvel Rivals\" class=\"wp-image-43468\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/2025013-43457-010.jpg 1276w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/2025013-43457-010-380x214.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/2025013-43457-010-768x432.jpg 768w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"adam-warlock-is-an-undying-resurrecting-golden-boy\">Adam Warlock is an undying, resurrecting golden boy&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Whereas Mantis has her Spore Slumber to put enemies to sleep, Adam Warlock can use his Soul Bond and Avatar Life Stream abilities to keep himself alive. Soul Bond spreads damage taken between nearby allies and grants healing over time, while Avatar Life Stream can heal a close ally and yourself (it can also be used as a solo heal ability if there are no targets selected). When used together, these abilities can make the hero extremely hard to eliminate provided he stays close to his teammates. While Avatar Life Stream can be used liberally due to its six-second cooldown per charge, Soul Bond\u2019s thirty-second cooldown means you should be careful when using it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1281\" height=\"722\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1281px) 100vw, 1281px\" src=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/2025013-43457-011.jpg\" alt=\"Adam Warlock's Soul Bond\" class=\"wp-image-43469\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/2025013-43457-011.jpg 1281w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/2025013-43457-011-380x214.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/2025013-43457-011-768x433.jpg 768w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Unfortunately, Adam Warlock\u2019s low mobility and reliance on nearby allies to spread healing\/<s> <\/s>damage mean that he can\u2019t afford to be caught on his own.

You have a short time to reposition to a safe spot and respawn, but be mindful of enemies that follow your cocoon form. Regenerative Cocoon also has a lengthy 105-second cooldown, so you won\u2019t have access to the ability for a while after using it. Be sure to read the battlefield before committing to a self-revive, as you could end up being eliminated again.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1274\" height=\"717\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1274px) 100vw, 1274px\" src=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/2025013-43457-013.jpg\" alt=\"Jeff in Marvel Rivals\" class=\"wp-image-43471\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/2025013-43457-013.jpg 1274w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/2025013-43457-013-380x214.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/2025013-43457-013-768x432.jpg 768w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"rocket-raccoon-and-jeff-the-land-shark-are-hit-and-run-characters\">Rocket Raccoon and Jeff the Land Shark are hit-and-run characters&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Rocket Raccoon\u2019s and Jeff the Land Shark\u2019s high mobility make it relatively easy for them to deal with dive heroes \u2013 just hit them when they are at range and run away when they get too close.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1279\" height=\"722\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1279px) 100vw, 1279px\" src=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/2025013-43457-014.jpg\" alt=\"Rocket running\" class=\"wp-image-43472\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/2025013-43457-014.jpg 1279w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/2025013-43457-014-380x215.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/2025013-43457-014-768x434.jpg 768w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Rocket\u2019s Jetpack Dash, Wild Crawl, and Flying Ace abilities allow him to dash, climb, and hover all over the battlefield.

Enemies will be sorry they didn\u2019t eliminate you once you pop out a damage-amplifying C.Y.A. or an It\u2019s Jeff! team wipe.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the reasons why dive heroes are so deadly is that some of them have abilities that auto-lock onto targets. Iron Fist\u2019s K&#8217;un-Lun Kick and Yat Jee Chung Kuen and Spider-Man\u2019s Get Over Here are just three examples of abilities that require little to no aiming. You\u2019ll want to use Rocket\u2019s and Jeff\u2019s mobility skills to break these heroes\u2019 lines of sight to prevent enemies from scoring easy eliminations.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1277\" height=\"718\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1277px) 100vw, 1277px\" src=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/2025013-43457-018.jpg\" alt=\"Loki in Marvel Rivals\" class=\"wp-image-43476\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/2025013-43457-018.jpg 1277w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/2025013-43457-018-380x214.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/2025013-43457-018-768x432.jpg 768w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"use-deception-as-loki-to-mask-your-location\">Use deception as Loki to mask your location&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Loki\u2019s Illusions are the cornerstones of his survival. Be sure to have at least one illusion on the battlefield so you can use Devious Exchange to swap to it when you get attacked. If you don\u2019t have an Illusion present, Deception allows you to turn invisible and create an Illusion in your place. While Loki can remain invisible indefinitely until he attacks and can heal over time while Deception is active, he isn\u2019t invincible. If you find yourself unable or unwilling to reposition, Regeneration Domain creates a field that provides healing over time and converts damage taken into extra healing.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1274\" height=\"720\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1274px) 100vw, 1274px\" src=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/2025013-43457-019.jpg\" alt=\"Loki's Illusion placement\" class=\"wp-image-43477\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/2025013-43457-019.jpg 1274w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/2025013-43457-019-380x215.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/2025013-43457-019-768x434.jpg 768w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1276\" height=\"720\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1276px) 100vw, 1276px\" src=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/2025013-43457-020.jpg\" alt=\"Loki's Illusions\" class=\"wp-image-43478\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/2025013-43457-020.jpg 1276w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/2025013-43457-020-380x214.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/2025013-43457-020-768x433.jpg 768w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Since the Illusions look exactly like Loki and can use some of his abilities, they can be used in creative ways. Try standing still after swapping places with an Illusion or going invisible to trick enemies into thinking that they are attacking the wrong target. You can also place Illusions close to each other to increase the damage and healing you deal in a small area. Dive heroes usually have a small window of opportunity to take out a few targets before returning to safety, so use your Illusions liberally to confuse them and ruin their plans.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1275\" height=\"719\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1275px) 100vw, 1275px\" src=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/2025013-43457-022.jpg\" alt=\"Invisible Woman in Marvel Rivals\" class=\"wp-image-43479\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/2025013-43457-022.jpg 1275w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/2025013-43457-022-380x214.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/2025013-43457-022-768x433.jpg 768w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"invisible-woman-can-control-the-battlefield-or-slip-away-undetected\">Invisible Woman can control the battlefield or slip away undetected&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As the <a href=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/news\/marvel-rivals-invisible-woman-guide-how-to-survive-longer\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">newest Strategist in Marvel Rivals<\/a>, Invisible Woman has two ways of dealing with dive heroes. The first option is to use either her Covert Advance passive or Veiled Step to go invisible and avoid getting dived on. While these abilities hide your location from enemies, you won\u2019t be able to heal or attack without breaking invisibility.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1271\" height=\"714\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1271px) 100vw, 1271px\" src=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/2025013-43457-023.jpg\" alt=\"Invisible Woman going invisible\" class=\"wp-image-43480\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/2025013-43457-023.jpg 1271w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/2025013-43457-023-380x213.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/2025013-43457-023-768x431.jpg 768w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The second, more offensive option is to use your crowd control abilities to take out whoever is diving you. Pushing enemies away with Force Physics and following up with Orb Projection can deal enough damage to make foes retreat, but if you want to be mean, drop a Psionic Vortex at your feet and stay within the affected area. If enemies try to run away, use Force Physics to pull them back into the vortex\u2019s area of effect. Combine this cheeky tactic with Orb Projection, and you can easily eliminate a squishy target.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1276\" height=\"720\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1276px) 100vw, 1276px\" src=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/2025013-43457-024.jpg\" alt=\"Invisible Woman's offense\" class=\"wp-image-43481\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/2025013-43457-024.jpg 1276w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/2025013-43457-024-380x214.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/2025013-43457-024-768x433.jpg 768w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Invisible Woman has one more self-defense trick that involves using an ally to place a Guardian Shield. You can play around the emplaced shield by dealing damage or escaping from enemies, but its applications are so niche that you might want to forgo using the tactic altogether.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to watching out for dive heroes, <a href=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/tips\/marvel-rivals-strategist-how-to-improve-strategist-healing-abilities\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">keep an eye on your teammates\u2019 health<\/a> and what they need for each situation.
