Love Magik! Storm will be next, lots to go over. My plan is to get hero guides out, definitely the new hero's that come out in the game asap. Continuing destiny reviews and will covering both games. Never done anything like this, but am really enjoying it.
That Groot video is the first thing I've ever seen on your channel, it instantly improved my gameplay AND made a tank I thought was boring really fun to play. Hope to see a Wolverine guide soon after Storm. A lot of "low tier" characters seem to just be really misunderstood. Nice vids man
There were other guides out there, but I instantly clicked yours. The way you go into details and explain things is top notch. Most of us will watch your guides for whatever game over others. Keep grinding!
I love Melee characters that act like fighting game characters, doing combos and animation cancels makes me feel like I’m pulling off the sickest touch of death.
As a magik main here is one you might not know. 9:43 you dont need to wait for the whirl to finish you can start the animation and immediately press E after and you will dash with the whirl and they will hit at the same time also faster! enjoy :D
Another Magik main here. The only mechanical part of this is making sure the VERY generous hitbox of the whirl hits before your body contacts them. If you're too fast and/or too close you can cancel the whirl entirely when the uppercut lands. Hard to do but worth knowing if you're vs. Spiderman or Panther especially. Edit cause I can't spell. xD
@@epsi9923some times it can cause a dash to cancel and recast the whirl so you can get two whirls, but I think it was patched because I could only do it once
It's an active hitbox that lasts damn near a full second so if you need to use this combo immediately, just buffer Whirl > slight delay Umbral Incursion
magik main here. combo #5 should be combo #1. it's the most important to know since it's your bread and butter one shot any 250-275 hp target. portal -> whirl -> dashing while whirling -> auto -> qiuck melee kills all 250hp targets, adding the slash at the end or at the start for 275 (luna/mantis) is really the only combo you need to "learn" everything else is just...animation canceling.
Auto means auto-attack, it's used as a term to define basic left click attacks on games like League, Dota, etc.. So in this case, OP is referring to Magik's basic attack, her normal left click 👍
Dash 97 + basic 65 + mele 35 = 197hp long shot off 250. You need to throw in ani cancel slash 45 + melee 65 and that kills even 300hp targets or charged slash beferohand for 95dmg, that kills 275hp targets and only 3hp off 300hp so you can finish them with disc. On console I find that charge slash is 50/50, hit or miss. So I save it for ani cancel or if target runs away. Otherwise only use it on targets from behind and if they have big hitbox.
i think you understand what your offering more than others on this game. over the years i’ve given up on the helping videos for overwatch. they just point out obvious stuff and doesn’t effect anything. what you’ve offers for magic and groot are cool. thanks man
Thank you for including the buttons for controller. Every guide that I watch is mouse and keyboard only. This makes it much easier as a console player.
your groot guide allowed groot to be in my main tank rotation. ive alwasys wanted to get better at magik. i didnt know she had fall off damage! gonna try her out next. keep up the good work!
I've played both Destiny and Overwatch since beta. Your keen eye for the niche and off-meta can take you far in a hero shooter. It's that game knowledge jiu jitsu that you use to overcome challenges that makes your content unique and special. Much appreciated.
I loved your Destiny 2 videos, but I quit the game about three months ago, so I haven't been watching D2 videos as much. And I'm glad you are having as much fun in the game as everyone else and started making rival videos. Keep up the great work.
@4:47 THANK YOU FOR THIS!!! Holy shit I was so sick of being hard countered by Peni's spider nest lmao. I knew the demon was good but I didn't know I could do this with it.
Problem is most of the time when you disc into it you immediately get 1 shot by mines, I wouldn’t really recommend it unless it’s a freshly placed mine spawner
It's also really good at blocking off chokes, at lower elo anyway. If the enemy team has decided to try and push through a corridor or doorway you can just dump a demon off-angle on each side of their exit and force them to either eat damage to get through or stall their push. Disc has such a short cooldown that you can practically spam it.
So, having now watched (and loved) the video - here is a tidbit that I have not seen ANYONE mention in a guide on Magik, and I promise I have seen basically all of them on youtube at this point: Magik has two movement speeds. After using any ability or basic attack, Magik will move at a "run" for about seven seconds, after which she will go back to her base "jog". The run isn't crazy, but it is significantly faster than the jog. It also makes her lean in the direction she is moving, which can mess with people trying to use her body to aim her abilities. Very helpful to know to make her spawn rollout quicker!
I thought my brain was playing tricks on me. I had teammates telling me not to waste abilities, but I was certain that using a few immediately after spawn helped in the run back to the fight. And her ability cooldowns are pretty quick, so it’s a net gain all around.
I don't think she moves any faster and its the illusion of the animation that may allude to her moving faster. If she does move faster, its not significant and its a very negligible difference, not enough to make her catch up to any characters that are already faster than her. WIth that said, this is still advice no matter how "small", can make a massive difference.
I noticed this too! It’s actually other characters that do this as well. Not sure if they are actually moving fast or not but it def changes the animation to a “run”
@artic9509 I'm pretty sure it's faster. And I couldve sworn that she was walking slower while swinging for a minute there.... It's possible that attacking brings you back to the walking speed. Could be wrong. I swear I'd test it if shotcut wasn't a POS lol
Left this comment on another video but one huge tech for diving Mantis is to drop a demon as you walk into her, then tank her sleep. The demon will destroy the “image” that the sleep summons and break the sleep early
I've always liked your Destiny content, you are extremely good at explaining things with a lot of focus onto details, realistic scenarios of use, and clear explanations without any fluff, I will definitely keep watching you as you include Marvel RIvals in! Great guide!
Coolguy working on stuff that will most likely be more competitive than destiny is a treat I’ve been waiting for. Happy you found a game that you like. Hope to see league content one day 🤣 id actually lose my mind.
Coolguy, keep making Marvel Rivals vids. You made Groot so fun for me that other guides could not help me with. So much info, awesome strategies, keep up the good work
Thank you so much, man. A solid source of thought out tips for the heroes. Will now try Magik, tried Storm after your guide and got tons of MVP with insane dmg. Grut is next! :D Can't wait for more hero guides! Keep up the good, responsible work.
I’ve heard of her name before but had no idea who she was before Marvel Rivals. After playing her and researching her she’s a new favorite character of mine lore and game wise. Thanks for the breakdown for her👍
So far, you’ve picked the two heroes in this game that I believe have better potential when thoroughly understood to write guides about. With a background in Destiny over 8 years, I’m genuinely thankful to have found your channel after you’ve pivoted to guides for Rivals. I’ve likely ran into your build guides in the past and didn’t realize it. Subbed!
COOL GUY!!! I'm so glad you are making marvel rivals guides, your destiny gun deep dive and loadout guides always got me so excited to watch and try out the different guns and builds.
you can dash portal sword attack too for extra range instead of dash second, you'll get all the mileage and range, and you can also reposition the attack upwards against other enemies
Babe, new CoolGuy video for Marvel Rivals just dropped. In all seriousness, I just discovered your channel and I envy your brain and how it works, amazing you can pick such things up and share knowledge in such manner that's easily understandable and very helpful. Amazing job.
Picking up Magik on my own, I definitely felt super lost. Things just weren't clicking, and I felt like I was feeding more than on other characters. But this guide really helped contextualized things. Gonna give her some more time, and hopefully come out of it performing a lot better
Magik is one of the characters under the seasonal bonus so some combos may require and extra hit from something next season if she doesn’t get any compensation buffs
The intro holds so true. I went 30k dmg 45k block on Peni and my team was all praise. In reality it was the entire team, especially supports that provided the great run. I’ve had Peni matches with 10% of that run.
This guy is really cool.. I honestly think you can genuinely make content about anything and still make it work.. you can make content about ducks and I would still watch it.
The lunge accuracy is the biggest factor in discerning a good Magik from an average or bad Magik. I, for example, am very inconsistent with being able to hit her lunge attacks, so i often tend to either do really well, or pretty poorly in any given game. If anyonr is wanting to play Magik, the #1 tip I'd give is to learn how to get so good with her lunge that you never miss.
Tip I haven't seen people mention. Magik's dash can go around corners and up walls. It smoothly slides past map geometry as long as it's hitting at an angle. You can use this to set up unreactable corner ambushes with the dash. You can also use it to scoop people sitting up on ledges and buildings (instead of using your dash to merely land on top of the building).
A couple of very high tech niche things are... 1) you can animation cancel charged swing with a dash and apply both instances of DMG at the same time (has to be frame perfect, activate dash right before your projectile materializes) 2) you can animation cancel you're knock up (for you. It still knocks up and DMGs the enemy) with stepping discs. Again has to be frame perfect, right before you "jump up" at end of dash. Use stepping discs, with no directional input, to "TP" forward. You can then pull a 180 and place demon and the enemy will fall right into it.
i’m glad i clicked ima Magik main and i’m decent with her obviously not the best or the worst i have bad games every now and then and good ones, but i love playing Magik she’s the first hero i picked up and it felt natural not like choosing a random hero and feeling clunky, Hope this video makes me better 🫡🫡🫡🫡🫡
Magik I definitely one of the most valuable dps if you're good and play her smart. I have her silver armor skin, so this video will definitely help me get better so I can show that off, lol.
Wow, this is one of the best guides I’ve ever seen. I wish all of them were this detailed. How do you find the exact damage values? I don’t see them on the Rivals website
Love Magik! Storm will be next, lots to go over. My plan is to get hero guides out, definitely the new hero's that come out in the game asap. Continuing destiny reviews and will covering both games. Never done anything like this, but am really enjoying it.
Glad you're having fun and branching out man!

oooOOOooo! I'll keep my eyes peeled for the Storm guide
Glad to see destiny streamers branching out. Nostalgic hearing your voice. Many hours of endless PvP info listened to 😂
There were other guides out there, but I instantly clicked yours. The way you go into details and explain things is top notch. Most of us will watch your guides for whatever game over others. Keep grinding!
You’ve definitely heard this before, but I’m so glad we have someone like you with an analytical approach and hard numbers covering the game.

Born to Magik
Forced to Tank
Somethings never change
Most hours in Magik, followed by Strange, Thor, and Hulk lmfao
Same. I usually am stuck tank or heals. Ill pick dps first, then nobody else picks tank so then ill switch anyway.

also wanna know lmao, just by thr combo itaelf it sounds like he means normal melee attack?
Auto means auto-attack, it's used as a term to define basic left click attacks on games like League, Dota, etc..

Damn..bro gonna make me download this game... happy new yr buddy!!!
loving the marvel rivals vids coolguy!!

dude its cool to find this video when searching this character a familiar voice for an ex D2 player. Glad to see you've expanded.
Happy I found these guides, very insightful
Looking forward to more!
Geez so much to learn, love your guides man.
This video really helped me a lot, went from being hard stuck gold in comp to diamond
Thanks for great videos. Your content really opens new perspectives on characters, weapons etc. I really like and looking forward for new stuff
Your rivals breakdowns are the best
amazing work, thank you for this concise analysis
I'm a little late with this comment, but among the other D2 UA-camrs covering Rivals right now, your presentation is the most clear and helpful.
Your Groot video helped me immensely.

Hell ya! Was hoping you’d made a vid on her
you can dash portal sword attack too for extra range instead of dash second, you'll get all the mileage and range, and you can also reposition the attack upwards against other enemies

This is a great guide. Thank you

I have wanted a game that has super techy melee characters like this for a minute, all of them are good for different reasons, I love it.
Love it. Still too afraid to play magik myself though 😅.
Man I’m a plat1 Magik main and had no idea about the basic attack damage falloff..
Thanks for this guide
"Most of us play with friends anyway"
Haha, guess again.
the literal reason I'm at all putting serious hours into this game is because this lady doesn't look like a superhero
I swear the creators of this character took inspiration from the Hexblade Warlock, from DnD.
@alexchism5192 she kind of reminds me of some random custom character a person would make in SoulCalibur lol
Her backstory is literally the eclipse from berserk. You have no idea, how messed up her comic history has been
@@MikhailHudon_ZerithFarron she looks dope.
your guides are awesome, thank you! please do a Thor guide if you have time 🙏
Magik I definitely one of the most valuable dps if you're good and play her smart. I have her silver armor skin, so this video will definitely help me get better so I can show that off, lol.
Awesome vid! Use timestamps so people who have more experience can find parts that we want to refine!
Wow, this is one of the best guides I’ve ever seen. I wish all of them were this detailed. How do you find the exact damage values? I don’t see them on the Rivals website
