Tips and Tricks for Playing Squirrel Girl in Marvel Rivals

Squirrel Girl is one of the playable Duelist characters featured in Marvel Rivals. Like other Duelists, she has means of traversal that make her able to get to places other heroes cannot. However, hers is rather limited compared to Iron Man or Storm, who both possess the gift of flight.

Playing Squirrel Girl in Marvel Rivals means tormenting other players with explosive acorns. This makes her playstyle something that a Junkrat player from Overwatch 2 might enjoy giving a try. She is also able to lock enemies in place to make them sitting ducks.

Why Marvel Rivals Is More Than Just Another Hero Game

Marvel Rivals may be yet another hero shooter game added to the already crowded genre, but it has plenty of unique details that distinguish it.

Squirrel Girl’s Health: 275 Health
Squirrel Girl’s Difficulty: 1 Star
Squirrel Girl’s Role: Duelist

Squirrel Girl has a ridiculously simple kit, which is why she is only 1 star in terms of difficulty. She is quick to learn, quick to master, and is perfect for new players in Marvel Rivals. The splash damage of her weapon lets her excel at striking from a distance, and players will want to make use of her Tail Bounce to achieve advantageous positioning over their opponents.

Ability Name	Ability Type	Description
Burst Acorn	Primary Attack	Armed with a Slingshot, Squirrel Girl can volley single shots of acorns that can bounce off of surfaces before detonating into splash damage.
Squirrel Blockade	Activate Ability	Squirrel Girl will hold up a giant acorn and take aim. She can then hurl it to immobilize the first enemy hit by it. This puts the enemy at the complete mercy of Squirrel Girl and her teammates.
Tail Bounce	Active Ability	Duelists need to have high mobility, and Tail Bounce gives Squirrel Girl that small edge in being able to reach higher grounds. Players should have a firm grasp of which parts of the map can be best used. As this will give them optimal bombardment tactics.
Mammal Bond	Active Ability	Players can reload once they run out of acorns, or they can use this ability to instantly reload their weapon and be able to use one of their other abilities for free. This means after using Mammal Bond, they could throw out 2 Squirrel Blockades, or they can use an ability that is currently on cooldown when they need it immediately.
Webbed Acorn	Team-Up Ability	Squirrel Girl gains an extra ability called Webbed Acorn if one of her teammates is playing Spider-Man. Using this ability will have Squirrel Girl spin a sling above her head. Followed by throwing a projectile that will explode to web up enemies caught in its blast radius. This will both deal damage and immobilize them to make it easier to pick them off.
Unbeatable Squirrel Tsunami	Ultimate Ability	When used, players will call forth an army of squirrels to sweep across the affected area. What makes things even better is that they will actually ricochet off walls, hitting enemies multiple times. This can be devastating for the enemy team when they are trying to hold down a point in their final moments.

When to Use Squirrel Girl’s Ultimate

The best use of this ability is when there are a lot of walls for the squirrels to bounce off of. Doing so will allow them to run wild and hit enemies multiple times. It can take a couple of games before players get a good feel for when to use her Ultimate, but there are plenty of other characters that are much harder to get a feel for.

Tips and Tricks for Playing Squirrel Girl in Marvel Rivals

A great combo for Squirrel Girl once her ultimate is ready is using her Mammal Bond, to pull off 2 Squirrel Blockades one after the other — then using her Ultimate. This will mean enemies will be locked in place during the Squirrel Tsunami and give the player a fully reloaded slingshot to attack with at the same time. Having such a simple kit that can synergize in any order makes Squirrel Girl one of the most overpowered characters in Marvel Rivals.

Her slingshot also lets her pick off enemies behind others, allowing her to strike down enemy strategists trying to hide behind their allies — and sometimes taking them both out with the same acorn. Another reason for keeping your distance is due to Squirrel Girl’s lack of melee abilities. She shines best at being a ranged threat that supports her allies in the thick of the action.
