Marvel Rivals Player Makes Surprising Discovery Playing as Invisible Woman

A Surprising Find Could Change How Players Use the Invisible Woman in Marvel Rivals

A Marvel Rivals player recently made an unexpected discovery while playing as Invisible Woman (Susan Storm), revealing that her passive ability can counter certain enemy ultimates. This surprising find has caught the attention of the Marvel Rivals community and may alter how players approach using her in the game.

Invisible Woman Joins the Marvel Rivals Roster

After much anticipation, Marvel Rivals has added part of the Fantastic Four to its growing list of playable characters. Susan Storm, the Invisible Woman, has officially joined the game as a member of the Strategist class—the class with the fewest heroes. Despite her relatively difficult four-star difficulty rating, players are eager to take on the challenge of mastering her unique skillset.

Invisible Woman’s abilities include Agile Strike, which knocks enemies away with a powerful hit, and Guardian Shield, which creates a protective shield to heal and defend an ally. However, it was her passive ability, Covert Advance, that led to a surprising discovery by Reddit user defaulttf.

Covert Advance: A Passive That Can Negate Ultimates

In a recent clip shared by defaulttf, the player demonstrated how Covert Advance allowed Invisible Woman to negate Psylocke’s ultimate, Dance of the Butterfly. The moment Psylocke used her powerful attack, Invisible Woman activated her passive and turned invisible, completely avoiding the damage from the attack.

Covert Advance, as described, is activated after Invisible Woman leaves combat, rendering her temporarily immune to all damage for a brief period. In this instance, it allowed her to counter Psylocke’s ultimate, which would typically deal heavy damage in a large area. This passive also seems to work well against abilities that rely on automatic targeting, such as Star-Lord’s and Squirrel Girl’s ultimates, which also fail to land on Invisible Woman if her passive is activated in time.

However, the passive doesn’t make her invulnerable to all attacks. Captain America's shield, for example, can still hit her if she is within range of the initial throw, and she can also take damage if the opponent has already locked onto her before she activates her passive.

The Impact of Invisible Woman’s Passive in Gameplay

This discovery has opened up new possibilities for players using Invisible Woman in Marvel Rivals. The ability to counter ultimates like Psylocke's and others that rely on auto-targeting adds another layer of strategy for skilled players. It allows Invisible Woman to play a more defensive role, supporting her team while avoiding devastating abilities, and making her a tricky opponent to deal with in high-level matches.

Mister Fantastic and Future Additions to Marvel Rivals

Along with the Invisible Woman, Marvel Rivals has also introduced Mister Fantastic, another member of the Fantastic Four. As a Duelist, Mister Fantastic is surprisingly durable, able to generate shields for himself and allies with his Flexible Reflection ability. His higher-than-average health makes him a resilient choice for players who want a more defensive yet flexible Duelist.

With the addition of Mister Fantastic and the Invisible Woman, fans of the Fantastic Four are eagerly awaiting the arrival of Human Torch and The Thing, who will complete the iconic superhero team within Marvel Rivals. The question remains whether players will uncover more hidden synergies between these characters or if additional surprises await with their debut.

For now, Marvel Rivals players can experiment with the Invisible Woman’s passive, taking advantage of the game’s ever-expanding character roster and evolving strategies. It’s clear that this discovery could change how the character is played and add an exciting new layer to the game’s competitive dynamics.
