Peni Parker strategy and tips in Marvel Rivals

Peni Parker is a great Vanguard to support your team, especially with her ability to trap enemies in position and expose them to your effects. While you’re unlikely to dish out significant amounts of damage, you play a pivotal role in deciding the course of the match.

When playing as Peni Parker, your first focus is to deploy a Bionic Spider-Nest to create defenses around an objective. Periodically, it deploys Spider-Drones and creates Cyber-Webs that can be very useful.

Attack-wise, use Cyber-Web Snare to trap an enemy in place, then hit with basic attacks. Communication with your team is crucial, as trapping an enemy with this method makes them easy pickings for Duelists and high-damage dealers.

The Cyber-Bond is a useful skill as it allows you to latch yourself to a targeted area. But, when you travel a certain distance, you get pulled back to the attachment point. Use this to your advantage by attaching yourself and pushing enemies, then halting movement to trigger the pullback.

Finally, lay Arachno-Mines to provide protection, ensuring you don’t get surprised from behind. You can hide them from view by placing them within the area of a Cyber-Web.

A good skill rotation involves deploying a Bionic Spider-Nest, using Cyber-Bond to attach yourself to a targeted area, then pushing the enemy team. Use Cyber-Web Snare to trap an enemy and dish out damage with basic attacks, then trigger the pullback when you need to retreat to safety.

Tip:

Suggested Combo: Set up defenses with Bionic Spider-Nest and Cyber-Web Snare. While laying Arachno-Mines within the webs, strike enemies with Cyber-Web Cluster.
