Peni Parker’s Abilities in Marvel Rivals

Peni Parker’s Health: 650 Health
Peni Parker’s Difficulty: 3 Stars
Peni Parker’s Role: Vanguard

Depending on the circumstances, Peni will combine her skills in different orders. This is a more complex kit, and it makes her one of the harder to master characters of Marvel Rivals. At 650 health, she can take a lot of damage — and standing on Cyber-Wbs raises this health all the way to 800.

Ability Name	Ability Type	Description
Cyber Web-Cluster	Primary Attack	Players can just hold down the trigger to fire off round after round without the need to ever reload. This lets players focus on using their abilities while also dealing out some extra damage against enemies. Even though the damage numbers are on the smaller side, it’s enough to see finishing hits on enemies.
Cyber-Bond	Active Ability	This ability will shoot out a Cyber-Web at the target location. Players can then tether themselves to this web to pull themselves closer to it. This tether will persist and prevent enemies from knocking them away from the target area.
Bionic Spider-Nest	Active Ability	Peni will plant a structure that will coat the area in Cyber-Webs. If Peni stands on these webs, she will receive some extra health to make her even more tanky than she already is. This makes it for when players need to get on the objective or hunker down. This structure will also spawn small drones that will seek out and damage players.
Arachno-Mines	Active Ability	Players are able to plant small mines on the ground, on walls, and even on the ceiling. When an opponent gets too close to one, its top will pop off and then detonate. Players will have multiple uses of this ability, and if the player tries to place a fifth mine, the oldest existing one will be removed.
Wall Crawl	Passive Ability	Just like Spider-Man, Peni is able to scale walls with ease. Marvel Rival’s best duelists have incredible mobility at their disposal, and this passive can help Peni meet up with her allies faster than heroes without such options.
Armor Expulsion	Team-up Ability	When one of your teammates is playing Venom, Peni will gain an extra ability in the form of Amor Expulsion. This ability can be used both offensively and defensively at the same time. When activated, Peni will become engulfed in a symbiote coating that will spike out to damage nearby enemies. This coating will also reduce incoming damage, making it perfect for when players need to get on an objective that is currently occupied by enemies.
Spider-Sweeper	Ultimate Ability	Peni’s Ultimate Ability is an amalgamation of her other abilities with some extra kick. Once active, Peni will receive a boost to both her movement speed and her health. As she moves around, she will leave behind trails of webbing, release drones, and be able to go beyond her usual mine limit. While in this state, her usual weapons are replaced with melee strikes.

When to Use Peni Parker’s Ultimate

There are many amazing Ulimtate Abilties in Marvel Rivals, each shining in different ways. The best time to spring this Ultimate is when you are losing the current exchange. Its boost to survivability can mitigate any advantage her opponent might have over her, but it will also turn her into a highly mobile threat. Her increased Arachno-Mines means she can block off any escape options her opponents might consider. Then she can charge in with melee strikes.

Peni can feel awkward for those trying her for the first time, but in the right hands, she can be one of the most overpowered characters in Marvel Rivals. This is due to her weapons feeling a little weak at first. However, this is because Peni functions by combining all of her kit into something greater than the sum of her parts. Players will need to utilize every aspect of her kit and play her at various distances for different situations.

When it comes to Cyber-Bond, it is best kept for when you need to stay locked on an objective if an enemy is known for pushing opponents off them. This can sometimes be the edge you need to win a game that comes down to its final seconds.

Archno-Mines do their best work when they get the jump on enemies. So players should try to place them around corners and on door frames. Most enemies will be cautious when moving past such points, making them reduce their speed and staging within the mine’s blast radius.
