With the recent introduction of The Thing and Human Torch, players can now harness the full might of The Fantastic Four in the exciting game Marvel Rivals. As a Duelist, Human Torch serves as the primary damage dealer for his team, just like Mister Fantastic.
Specializing in both long-range combat and area denial, Human Torch employs his ability to fly and damage-over-time skills to fend off adversaries. While he is relatively simple to start playing, honing his skills requires considerable practice. In this guide, you’ll learn how to utilize his fiery abilities to achieve dominance on the battlefield in Marvel Rivals.
Human Torch Abilities in Marvel Rivals

- Base Health: 250
- Difficulty Rating: 3 Stars
- Team Role: Duelist
As a Duelist, Human Torch is adept at inflicting damage from a safe distance. He is categorized as a Flyer, similar to iconic characters like Iron Man and Storm. However, he lacks effective escape mechanisms, which necessitates careful positioning during combat. Remaining exposed for too long can lead to your opponents targeting you with ease.
The table below details the unique abilities that Human Torch possesses in Marvel Rivals:
Ability Name | Ability Type | Description |
---|---|---|
Fire Cluster | Primary Attack | Shoot a fireball that splits into several projectiles upon impact. |
Blazing Blast | Secondary Attack | Launches a fireball that generates a Flame Field, inflicting damage over time. |
Flaming Meteor | Activated Ability | A rapid dive attack that damages enemies and detonates Flame Fields. |
Plasma Body | Dash Ability | Grants additional movement speed while the ability is activated, consuming energy that regenerates automatically when inactive. |
Pyro-Prison | Activated Ability | Creates a firewall between existing Flame Fields, damaging enemies. Forming a triangle of Flame Fields intensifies the damage within. |
Storm Siblings | Team-Up Ability | Synergizes with the Invisible Woman to grant bonus health for a period whenever Human Torch takes damage. |
Omega Fire | Team-Up Ability | Requires Storm: allows Human Torch to amplify fire effects and damage through synergy with her abilities. |
Supernova | Ultimate Ability | Causes a massive explosion dealing area-of-effect damage; transforms all Flame Fields into Flame Tornados that deal additional damage for the duration. |
Note: The Pyro-Prison ability requires existing Flame Fields to be cast effectively.
How to Play Human Torch in Marvel Rivals
Although Human Torch holds a manageable three-star difficulty rating, efficiently mastering him is achievable. His abilities are intuitive, and while his Primary Attack has a wide range, it lands more accurately from close quarters. His attacks can also score critical hits, significantly increasing your damage output.
Effective play involves utilizing Blazing Blast in tandem with Pyro-Prison to dominate objectives and chokepoints. It is often beneficial to deploy three Blazing Blasts to shape a triangle, followed by activating Pyro-Prison to ensnare enemies within, causing them to suffer continuous damage.


Although Flaming Meteor deals substantial damage, refrain from using it on cooldown as it may put you at risk. Despite being a Flyer, Human Torch has slower movement, leaving him vulnerable after executing Flaming Meteor. Best reserved for ambushing low-health targets or delivering a finishing blow on grouped enemies.
The Omega Fire ability, when paired with Storm, remains one of the strongest synergies in the game. Coordinate during hero selection to have an ally choose Storm to unlock the full potential of this powerful combination.
Becoming proficient with Human Torch in Marvel Rivals requires effort and practice. However, with the right strategies and a keen sense of positioning, you can quickly establish dominance on the battlefield. Flame On!
