Master The Powers Of Shadow And Light With Marvel Rivals' Cloak & Dagger

Cloak & Dagger are one of the most commonly picked Strategist characters in the entire game, and for good reason: They are incredibly powerful. While each of their abilities are somewhat limited, you’ll maintain control of two characters with completely different roles, so balancing them will be key to excelling.

Dagger is a straightforward healer, with abilities to heal up single targets and groups alike. Her defensive Ultimate helps your team and hurts your enemies at the same time with only one real weakness, and her healing primary attack has limited aim assist. She’s a great healer to get started with. Cloak, on the other hand, is somewhat similar to Scarlet Witch, who is a Duelist. He has a mid-range attack that deals steady damage, but he can also debuff enemies, reducing their visibility, dealing damage, and causing them to take more damage for a time. He also has an ability that grants invincibility for a few seconds.

Since you can instantly switch between them, fans of both healing and damaging will find a lot to love about this pair.

Dagger is a very approachable healer since you don’t need to have great aim to heal well with her Lightforce Daggers bounce and bend towards allies and enemies.

In spite of this, there is still skill required to play her and her comrade to their maximum potential—and much of that involves how much time you spend playing as Cloak. A great Cloak & Dagger player will use Light Explosion and Dagger Storm to keep allies topped off, using downtime to switch to Cloak and deal damage, hitting enemies with Terror Cape to amplify team damage against vulnerable targets, and using Dark Teleportation to negate enemy Ultimate abilities before switching back to Dagger to heal allies again.

While Eternal Bond is one of the fastest charging Ultimate abilities in the game, be aware that enemies like Magneto can easily kill you in-between dashes (if they know what they are doing), so try to have a teammate like Punisher or Star Lord use their Ultimates to bait it out before you use yours, or use it when Magneto has been knocked out or does not have an ultimate charge ready yet.

With all these tips in hand, you are prepared to become a true master of both light and dark. Good luck!
