First-person hero shooters are becoming a crowded place, and the ones who are at the top have to continuously come up with new things that’ll allow them to stay on top. For example, the current biggest hero shooter, Marvel Rivals, releases a new character into their roster now and again to keep the player hooked on a new hero to learn, and when they finally learn that new hero, they come up with a new one.

What are his abilities, which playstyle suits him, and lastly, should you play him?
Daredevil is new and the grind is real — let us boost your proficiency all the way to LORD while you focus on enjoying the game. Safe, fast, and handled only by pro players at IMMORTALBOOST for guaranteed results.
🔥 Daredevil’s Kit Overview
Daredevil is a melee duelist, and he is built for a purpose to lock onto a target and hunt them down. Unlike other duelists who are the front line of the team, Daredevil works a little differently because, as a duelist, you expect him to go all in and create space for, but his kit and his purpose in the game are to target and single out enemies, the ones who are apart from their team and hunt them down.
He can detect enemies from behind the walls, can climb those walls, and kill them instantly. NetEase has also introduced an interesting mechanic with Daredevil, in which you can’t see further than 30 meters of range. It said to depict his comical blindness and to elevate the realistic approach that the character has, and to enhance the heightened senses.
⚡ Complete Abilities Breakdown
Since he has not been released to the game and we have yet to get an official statement about his abilities, all we can do is dissect his release trailer and then break down his abilities one by one. So let’s do that, shall we?
Daredevil’s primary attack is based on nunchucks, and with right click, he unleashes a rapid billy club swing for quick strikes. Since the exact damage is still unknown, but by the looks of it, this close-quarter attack causes pretty chunky damage to the enemies. He is able to close the distance between him and his enemies. His left click is, however, a defense shield in which he spins his nunchucks in a way that they actually deflect incoming enemy projectiles for a few seconds.
Since we don’t know the actual name of the ability, let’s call it by its default key. The “E” ability of daredevils has two variants. In the first one, which you choose by clicking the left mouse click, extend his nunchuks or, let’s say, his billy club, and swing it overhead, which damages the enemies who are along the path. Upon clicking the right mouse button, he just throws his nunchuks at the face of the enemies.
This is his way of getting through the map. His shift ability allows him to get to a certain distance quickly, just like a dash. He extends his nunchuks or billy clubs to propel himself towards a targeted point, which means that you could use them to rush on to enemies and strike combos with this shift ability.
Daredevil’s F ability lets him lock onto an enemy hero, and upon pressing the F key again, it propels Daredevil towards the target. This might be the ability that was shown in the trailer when Daredevil walked on the wall towards the enemy.
His passive is a literal wallhack; he can sense nearby enemies through it. It also grants him vision through the walls and makes him able to climb the walls.
His Ultimate does two things: firstly, it unleashes a rage that inflicts damage to the nearby enemies. The exact stats are still unknown, but by the looks in the trailer, it does look a lot painful for the enemies. Secondly, it impairs their vision and makes them near-sighted just like him. Which is helpful because not only does he tender them with damage, he also injures them with blindness, making them a whole lot easier target for his team to kill.
🎮 Optimal Playstyle Guide
Now let’s talk about his playstyle, his positioning counters, and which players should use him. So firstly, let’s talk about his playstyle. Since he is a close-quarter yet a melee duelist, it means that you shouldn’t be near team fights because he is not designed for that in mind. So be the one who locates an alone target and hunts it down relentlessly.
📍 Positioning Strategy
His positioning, however, is tricky because he can neither be the frontliner of the team nor be the guy who is left alone and be by himself. You have to strike a balance between the two because you have to be alone and hunting for the enemies, but also be close enough that you actually can get help when needed or can provide help if your team needs it.
⚠️ Player Recommendation
Lastly, the players who are experienced with melee heroes only should pick daredevil’s kit while great at damaging and targeting alone enemies, but it is not forgiving enough for beginners so if you’re experienced, then pick him otherwise, don’t and until we get some more date about his abilities, this is my advice for the players who wanna pick him.
🏆 Conclusion
Daredevil is going to be the 43rd hero of the game, and he is one of the most anticipated ones as well. As his release date is approaching, the hype around him is also at its peak. As I have covered everything there is to know about this hero before the official release, I suggest you study the hero a bit and be prepared to lock on to him once he gets released.
