WHAT TO WATCH

The trade-off

A pull without team follow-up can deliver an enemy into your own space.

FIELD NOTES

Make your next session count.

Coordinate a pulled target with allies rather than engaging alone.

One focused exercise

Confirm which teammate can attack the displaced target before using the opening.

Read the current form and its resource conditions before entering a match.
Try the exercise with one target or one route so you can recognise what changes.
Review the engagement: could your allies see you, and did you preserve an exit?

THE PERSON BEHIND THE KIT

Story & connections

James Buchanan Barnes survived wartime loss only to be turned into a conditioned assassin. Rivals places him in another captivity at Hydra's Charteris Base before rescue by Hawkeye and a future Captain America, followed by an upgraded mechanical arm.

The biography above describes the game’s interpretation. Comic continuities and film portrayals can differ, and gameplay statistics do not measure a character’s fictional power.
