CapWolf Marvel Rivals: How to beat him in the Blood Hunt mode
In brief
CapWolf is the first boss in the Blood Hunt mode in Marvel Rivals, an opponent combining brute strength and agility. This guide covers his main abilities and the essential strategies to defeat him, including keeping a safe distance and working as a team to manage his two combat phases.
In Marvel Rivals, facing fearsome enemies is the basics. The one we're interested in today is CapWolf, and we're going to look together at the techniques and tips to beat him in the Blood Hunt mode.
Introducing CapWolf
CapWolf is a character apart, blending brute force with agility. He's the first boss of the Blood Hunt mode, and he'll serve as a benchmark for you. His ability to deal fast damage and perform rolls makes him a fearsome character, especially if you don't fully understand his attacks.
CapWolf has several abilities that make him hard to beat. Here are the main ones:
- Prey Marking: CapWolf picks a player and focuses his attacks on them.
- Shield Attack: He attacks with his shield to deal damage to those who try to get too close.
- Powerful Jump: CapWolf has the ability to jump into the air before slamming into the ground, causing very heavy damage if you happen to be at his landing spot.
- Charge: He rushes at his opponents in a split second, which can catch you off guard if you're not careful.

Strategies against CapWolf
One of the keys to beating CapWolf lies in keeping a certain distance between you and him. You must not engage him in melee combat, as doing so risks giving him the advantage. Using ranged attacks will let you chip away at his health while staying safe from his strikes.
You must also absolutely rely on teamwork. When CapWolf marks a player, the other team members will be forced to attack and protect that player.
In the second phase of this fight, CapWolf is able to heal his wounds when he deals damage to his prey. It is therefore essential to avoid this at all costs. If you're targeted, focus on fleeing, and let the others deal maximum damage to him!

The combat phases
The fight against CapWolf takes place in two phases:
Phase 1
At the start, CapWolf picks a player and marks them. He designates them as his prey, and the other team members can then focus on DPS. His attacks include:
- Shield Attack: Stay at a distance and you won't be hit
- Jump: Watch out, because he can hurt you badly on the ground when he lands
- Charges: Anticipate it and move so you don't get hit
Phase 2
If CapWolf has lost half his health, he enters phase 2: the one where he becomes even more dangerous. He can now use the following moves:
- Regeneration: he recovers health by hitting his prey. Your goal: don't get hit!
- Pounce: he can jump on his prey to deal damage, by now you should be used to it and know the timing of this attack.
- Channeling: when he starts channeling, you need to focus your attacks to try to interrupt him.
