Season 4.5 of Marvel Rivals introduces Daredevil as a nimble Duelist who builds power through a self-generated Fury resource. The character stands out for a design that mutes his usual sight, echoing Matt Murdock’s blindness while he pressures foes with precise strikes and targeted bursts.
Rather than relying on line of sight, Daredevil relies on Radar Sense to sense enemies through walls and keep track of their position. Fury stacks are earned by landing hits and are then spent to amplify his tools. With Season 4.5’s balance tweaks, his move interactions push toward more interlinked combos that hinge on Fury management.
Core abilities you’ll rely on
- Justice Jab — a forward swing that generates Fury on contact; no cooldown is listed in the core kit.
- Righteous Cross — a gap-bridging strike that closes the distance and yields Fury on hit, especially when you’re out of melee range.
- Devil’s Latch — a grappling line that pulls a target toward Daredevil and briefly enables the Righteous Cross.
- Infernal Fury — spend Fury to unleash either Devil’s Chain, which converts damage into a health bonus, or Devil’s Throw, which slows opponents. Both setups briefly unlock Righteous Cross.
- Sonic Pursuit — locks onto a foe, increases speed and damage reduction, then dashes to strike while restoring Fury when in range.
- Objection! — a tight guard that blocks frontal damage, reflects projectiles, and renders you momentarily immune while generating Fury.
- Radar Sense — a passive cue that reveals enemy movement within a defined radius.
- Blind Ascend — a passive mobility trait that lets Daredevil cling to walls and spring to new positions.
Overall, the kit centers on building and spending Fury to target individual foes. The optimal approach is to zero in on isolated targets and chain your abilities to maximize damage before retreating or re-engaging.
Ultimate: Let the Devil Out
The signature Ultimate creates a sprawling area of effect that bleeds into enemies for nine seconds. By embracing the Beast, Daredevil inflicts ongoing damage on anyone who stays within sightlines of his aura, while foes suffer a ramping Blind effect the longer they remain nearby.
During the ult, Daredevil continually accrues Fury, letting you weave together skills with less concern about resource drains. Staying close to a chosen target can disrupt enemy coordination and complicate healers’ plans within the fight.
Teamups that shine with Daredevil
Daredevil tends to work best when a few specialists cover his entry into battle. Strong partners include Magneto, Venom, Magik, The Punisher, Ultron, and Invisible Woman. A notable combo with The Punisher, called Blind Verdict, boosts Daredevil’s damage and health and grants the Punisher a wall‑piercing shock grenade to blind enemies.
Support-oriented figures like Ultron provide a mix of healing and burst, while Invisible Woman’s wide-area control can drag enemies into Daredevil’s blind zone. Venom and Magik add aggressive dives that amplify the impact of their shared targets, especially when Magneto’s protective bubbles keep him safe during the approach.
Tips, tricks, and battlefield tactics
Play to Daredevil’s shadows: seek isolated opponents first, then go all‑in to wipe them out and fracture the enemy’s cohesion. If pressure builds, use Devil’s Latch to slip back to teammates and reset the engagement.
Grasp Infernal Fury’s potential and fuse it with Righteous Cross to amplify damage and open opportunities for a follow‑up dive with allies. Since most abilities carry light cooldowns, you can string together multiple moves for sustained pressure.
Don’t forget to time Daredevil’s guard and reflection to disrupt enemy Ultimates or dangerous bursts. A smart mix of melee hits, mid‑range setups, and AoE effects lets him reach across the battlefield with a diverse toolkit.
