Welcome to the Ultimate Squirrel Girl Guide for Marvel Rivals! If you’re ready to master the unbeatable Doreen Green and her army of squirrel companions, you’ve come to the right place. Known for her quirky charm, surprising power, and versatile playstyle, Squirrel Girl is a fan-favourite hero who proves that even the smallest superheroes can dominate the battlefield.
In this guide, we’ll cover everything from her role in the game to her lore and advanced strategies to dominate. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced player, these tips and tricks will help you get a good grasp on her mechanics and shine in Marvel Rivals gameplay. Let’s dive into the nuts and bolts of the unbeatable Squirrel Girl.
Squirrel Girl is a duelist in Marvel Rivals, excelling in high-damage, high-mobility combat. Her unique kit focuses on leveraging her squirrel companions to dish out damage while offering surprising versatility in one-on-one fights. Her abilities are ideal for countering squishier strategists and harassing long-range duelists.
Shoot bouncing Burst Acorns. This arced projectile generates a spell field upon impact, dealing damage and adding chaos to the battlefield. The giant acorn projectile is great for choke points and clustered enemies.
Pro Tip: Aim for grouped enemies or use the acorns to control choke points effectively.
Summon a horde of squirrels to charge forward, dealing damage while bouncing against structures. Instead of bouncing randomly, the squirrels now rush towards the nearest enemy. Using her ultimate in team fights can turn the tide of battle in your favour.
Rocket 9m upwards using the power of her tail. This ability is perfect for dodging enemy attacks, gaining high ground, or quickly repositioning during intense moments.
Pro Tip: Use Tail Bounce to escape danger or get a good position to unleash other abilities.
Reload Burst Acorns and gain the ability to use an ability without cooldown for a short duration. Timing this ability can make or break clutch situations, especially when fighting to dominate choke points or objectives.
Launch an acorn to summon Squirrel Guards. This charged projectile follows an arced trajectory and immobilizes the first enemy it hits, disabling them momentarily.
In collaboration with Spider-Man, Squirrel Girl gains a web bomb. She can slingshot it to unleash an explosion upon contact with the environment or an enemy, briefly ensnaring and damaging enemies caught in the blast.
Luna Snow’s ability to freeze enemies creates the perfect setup for Squirrel Girl’s abilities. Her crowd-control effects allow Burst Acorn to hit multiple immobilized enemies, amplifying its impact. Pairing with Luna also helps create space during intense fights, giving Squirrel Girl the breathing room needed to reposition or recharge with Mammal Bond.
Rocket Raccoon’s versatility as a Strategist pairs excellently with Squirrel Girl. He not only provides covering fire to fend off aggressive enemies but also heals Squirrel Girl, boosting her sustainability in prolonged engagements. Additionally, Rocket’s traps and gadgets can help set up Squirrel Girl’s explosive combos with Burst Acorn and Squirrel Tsunami.
Hulk’s tanky presence makes him a natural ally for Squirrel Girl. By drawing aggro and soaking up enemy damage, Hulk allows Squirrel Girl to focus on dishing out burst damage without worrying about becoming the primary target. His crowd control abilities can pin down enemies, making it easier to land precision hits with Squirrel Blockade and Burst Acorn.
Avoid squaring off against heroes with long-range poke or heavy area denial, such as Hawkeye or Iron Man. These characters can exploit Squirrel Girl’s relatively low health pool and lack of sustained protection. Strategies against these counterpicks include maintaining constant mobility with Tail Bounce and relying on teammates to help neutralize their long-range threats.
Due to her fragility, map awareness is critical. Stick to areas where you can quickly escape or reposition using Tail Bounce. Control key points with Unbeatable Squirrel Tsunami, and avoid overextending without teammate support.
Coordinate Burst Acorn and Squirrel Blockade for devastating combos. For instance, using Mammal Bond to chain abilities back-to-back can overwhelm opponents.
Use Unbeatable Squirrel Tsunami during team fights or to deny enemies access to critical objectives. With its improved targeting, this ability is a game-changer for zoning and securing kills.
Constantly reposition using Tail Bounce to maintain an advantage over less agile heroes. Use this ability to both engage and disengage in fights, allowing you to control the pace of the battle. Effective mobility is key to avoiding long-range threats and finding high ground to gain a positional edge.
Focus on squishy Strategists and Duelists first, as they are easier to burst down. Targeting key enemies can cripple the opposing team’s strategy and create opportunities for your teammates to overpower the enemy team. Be decisive in isolating and eliminating high-priority threats.
Use terrain to your advantage, making it harder for ranged enemies to target you. By staying near cover, you can bait opponents into unfavorable positions while keeping yourself protected from direct fire. This also gives you time to recharge Mammal Bond or reposition for a better angle.
Don’t dive into fights without an escape plan. Squirrel Girl thrives when she can pick her battles. Avoid overextending into enemy territory without Tail Bounce or Mammal Bond available for a quick retreat. Instead, maintain a safe distance until the right opportunity presents itself to engage.
Play to your team’s strengths. Pairing poorly with allies can negate much of her potential. For example, without proper crowd control from a teammate like Luna Snow, Squirrel Girl may struggle to land impactful hits. Communicate with your team and adapt your strategy based on their abilities.
Save Unbeatable Squirrel Tsunami for critical moments. Using it too early or too late can waste its massive impact. Time your ultimate for situations where the enemy is clustered or distracted, allowing you to maximize its damage and zone control. Practice recognizing these moments to turn the tide of battle.

"Well, that should take care of them!" the Unbeatable Squirrel Girl said as she stood over a group of freshly-defeated attackers. "Another horde of vampires down for the count. Good work, everybody!"
As Squirrel Girl praised her army of rodent companions for their efforts, the tiny creatures began to chitter with delight. They would do anything for their human friend, Doreen Green — even risk their lives against the seemingly endless throng of nocturnal nightmares that had emerged after an ancient curse trapped New York City in a state of perpetual night.
"You've definitely earned a trip to Mr. Hickory's fresh roasted nut cart on the corner of 55th and — "
Before Squirrel Girl could finish that thought, her BFFF — Best Furry Friend Forever — Tippy-Toe scurried past her fellow squirrels and climbed right onto Doreen's shoulder. As Tippy began to chirp into Squirrel Girls' ear, Doreen's ever-present smile dropped a bit.
"Wait… that can't be right…" Squirrel Girl said. "A giant squirrel… fell out of the sky…? Here in Central Park…? Are you sure, Tippy?"
Tippy-Toe leapt from Squirrel Girl's shoulder and bolted back towards the heart of the park. Before she disappeared into the woods, she turned around and beckoned for her friend to come along.
"Guess Mr. Hickory is gonna have to keep his nuts warm a little longer," Squirrel Girl said, shrugging as she followed Tippy-Toe into the dark forest. The rest of the squirrels stayed close behind Doreen, ready to take on whatever threats might be lurking in the shadows.
As soon as they reached a clearing, Squirrel Girl realized that Tippy-Toe hadn't been exaggerating in the slightest. There, int he middle of a small impact crater, was the biggest squirrel Doreen had ever seen. Her furry friends surrounded the creature and stared in awe. But something was clearly wrong. The giant rodent was hurt. Bad.
"Excuse me… ma'am…?" Squirrel Girl said cautiously. "You look like you could use a friend…"
"Aye…" the enormous squirrel replied, with pain its voice. "I am so far from home… Yet the scent of this realm seems oddly familiar… Tell me, to where have I fallen, dear child…?"
"You're on Earth. New York City to be exact!" Squirrel Girl responded proudly. "Whoa. Hold on. Did you just talk?"
"Indeed," the creature said, lifting its massive head to get a better look at the curious human girl with a rodent's tail.
"I mean, I know you can talk to me," Squirrel Girl continued. "I talk to squirrels all the time. It's one of my superpowers. But you weren't just chirping and chittering. You talked in English. Like a person!"
"The squirrels of Midgard do not have the ability to speak?" the mysterious rodent said. "What a shame."
"I know, right?!" Squirrel Girl mused. "I'm the only one who gets to enjoy all of their stories. Guess I'm just lucky!"
"I have a story to tell as well," the oversized squirrel said, "but sadly, there is very little luck in it."
"Ooh! I wish I had some popcorn!" Squirrel Girl said as she sat cross-legged on the ground next to her new friend, eager to learn more. Her squirrel companions gathered around and listened intently.
"My name is Ratatoskr," the creature began. "I hail from the golden kingdom once known as Asgard. Though my true home is in the branches of Yggdrasil, the World Tree."
"Asgard?!" Squirrel Girl exclaimed. "Are you friends with Thor? Because I totally am!"
"Aye, I have known the God of Thunder since he was just a boy," Ratatotskr continued. "It was my sworn duty to climb the World Tree, delivering messages across the Ten realms. It was a simple life, but one I took great pride in. I sought no glory and I posed no threat. Or so I believed."
"Here comes the part where Loki does something nasty, right?" Squirrel Girl asked excitedly, chomping down on a handful of acorns that she had found scattered on the ground nearby.
"I have my qualms with the Trickster for his treatment of Yggdrasill," Ratatoskr said, "but according to a vision I had, I do not believe it was Loki who laid me low. In fact, it was two Midgardians who sought to end my days: a mortal sorcerer in a metal mask and the lord of vampires himself."
"Yikes!" Squirrel Girl yelped.
"The two must have conjured a spell to rip me from my beloved Yggdrasill…" Ratatoskr said, trailing off as she considered what had occurred.
"And then you crashed landed here," Squirrel Girl finished, "right in the heart of vampire territory. I bet they were planning to send in an undead army to take you prisoner… or worse. But why? I mean, sure, squirrels are some of the toughest fighters ever, and it's nice to see someone finally realizing that, but there are so many other threats that these jerks are up against. Aside from your obvious awesomeness, what makes you so special?"
"My horn," Ratatoskr said, motioning to the long wooden tusk protruding from her forehead.
"Yeah," Squirrel Girl said, "I was gonna ask about that. I just assumed you were some sort of magical squirrel-icorn or something."
"The horn is made from a branch of Yggdrasill itself," Ratatoskr said. "It is imbued with the World Tree's life-giving power. Should it pierce the vampire king's heart, it would likely end even his eternal reign. In order to remove such a risk, they are undoubtedly seeking to remove me from play."
"Well, they'll have to go through us first," Squirrel Girl exclaimed, lifting her fist in the air triumphantly. Her squirrel companions all squeaked with joy… but silence quickly fell once more as the leaves around them began to rustle.
Suddenly, several vampires lunged out from the woods, hissing and bearing their sharp teeth as they rushed towards Ratatoskr.
"You know the drill, gang!" Squirrel Girl shouted to her tiny squirrel friends. The squirrels jumped into action scampering forward to meet their attackers.
In a frenzy of teeth and claws, the vampires soon found themselves overpowered by the bushy-tailed battalion. Every time they managed to shake off one rambunctious rodent, three more took its place.
"I'd bet on buckteeth over fangs any day!" Squirrel Girl cheered as her fearsome foes fled back into the darkness.
But before the hairy heroes could celebrate another hard-earned victory, the next wave of vampiric villains emerged from the forest, this time nearly doubled in number. At the center of the horde stood a pale-skinned man in a pitch black suit and a blood red cape adorned with gold ornamentation. His commanding presence made it instantly clear that he was the one in charge. The vampires around him eagerly awaited his orders.
"Stand aside, child," the vampire said to Squirrel Girl, his voice as cold as ice. "This creature belongs to me."
"I don't know who you think you are, buddy," Squirrel Girl said defiantly, "but Ratatoskr is with us now. You don't get to hurt her."
"I wouldn't dream of it," the vampire said. "I have far more important plans for that mangy beast. You, however, shall not be as fortunate. So swears Dracula!"
"Dracula…?!" a bewildered Squirrel Girl muttered. "No… it can't be…"
"Oh, it is," Dracula responded with a grin, his fangs glistening in the light of the blood moon. "And you, my dear, shall be the next to join my eternal legion."
With a wave of his hand, Dracula unleashed his vampire horde upon Squirrel Girl. She dodged and leaped as quick as she could, hoping to prevent them from sinking their sharp teeth into her flesh.
"Don't let them get to Ratatoskr!" Squirrel Girl yelled, clearly more concerned about her newly-arrived ally than about herself.
Even though her rodent army vastly outnumbered the vampire, Squirrel Girl quickly realized that her forces were gravely outmatched. These were Dracula's most elite soldiers, and Doreen knew that she and her friends were in over their heads.
"Tippy! Call in reinforcements!" Squirrel Girl shouted.
With a loud series of squeaks, Tippy-Toe beckoned forth every animal that called Central Park home — from rats and raccoons to frogs and felines. As they skittered across the ground towards the unsuspecting vampires, another wave of animals swooped down from the skies.
"I didn't know you could speak bird, Tippy!" Squirrel Girl exclaimed, genuinely surprised to see the large feathered flock furiously pecking at her foes. Tippy-Toe shrugged with confusion.
"Those creatures are not of this realm," Ratatoskr said. "The ravens serve Loki himself, and the crows belong to Hela. Apparently, Dracula is not the only one searching for my whereabouts."
"Hey, we'll take all the help we can get!" Squirrel Girl said, leaping forward to join the flurry of teeth and beaks and claws and talons.
Squirrel Girl's furry friends continued to do everything in their power to distract the undead warriors from their true prey. But then, without warning, every one of Doreen's beloved squirrels abruptly stopped in their tracks.
"Uh… guys…?" Squirrel Girl said, "What's going on?"
"You are not the only one who can speak to rodents…" Dracula mused. "In the past, I have reserved this talent for bats and rats, but I suppose it works on squirrels just as well. And I, for one, shall enjoy the irony of what is about to unfold…"
Tippy-Toe and her fellow squirrels turned to face Squirrel girl, their eyes glowing a sinister red. Squirrel Girl gasped in horror as she realized that Dracula had somehow pitted her best friends against her. Although she herself was not under the vampire king's thrall, Squirrel Girl still found herself unable to move, completely paralyzed by the shock of the moment.
"No… please!" Squirrel Girl shouted as the ravenous rodents began to descend upon her.
But before the tiny terrors could devour Doreen, a powerful blast erupted from the skies, knocking the squirrels back and breaking them free from Dracula's control.
"Looks like you've got a rodent problem, kid," a semi-robotic voice said. "Lucky for you, I happen to be on pest control duty."
Iron Man descended from above and landed on one side of Squirrel Girl. On her other side, Moon Knight glided onto the scene. The two heroes had arrived just in the nick of time.
"I'm so glad you guys are here!" Squirrel Girl gushed with glee. "We were trying to rescue this giant Asgardian squirrel when Dracula and his army attacked us. I don't know how, but he turned my little buddies against me. For a moment there, I really thought it was all over!"
"It is," Iron Man said as he blasted back a few more vampires with his repulsors. "We're getting you out of here. Now."
"Not without Ratatoskr," Squirrel Girl said.
"Yeah, about that…" Moon Knight replied, tossing a few crescent-shaped shuriken at the oncoming attackers. "I don't see any giant squirrels around here. No Dracula either. And they say I'm the crazy one…"
Squirrel Girl looked towards the site where Ratatoskr had landed earlier and was shocked to find that her new friend had gone missing. And Moon Knight was right about Dracula's disappearance as well.
"She was just here! I swear!" Squirrel Girl cried. "Dracula must've escaped with her when we weren't looking! We have to go after them!"
"Not a chance," Iron Man said. "We've barely got the means to fight off a handful of regular fangers. We're definitely not ready to face off against Dracula."
"Not yet," Moon Knight added, as if he knew something the others did not.
"But when the time comes," Iron Man continued, "we're going to need every ally we can find. Alive. That includes you. Now, come with me…"
Iron Man lifted into the air, grabbing Squirrel Girl under the arms and taking her with him.
"…and consider this your lucky day!"
"Wait! No!!!" Squirrel Girl pleaded. Not only was she abandoning Ratatoskr, but her squadron of squirrels was being left behind to fend for themselves as well. Only Tippy-Toe had managed to climb aboard the Iron Man express before it took flight.
Squirrel Girl's gaze stayed fixed on the park below until her tiny allies had faded completely from sight. With a heavy heart, she turned her attention to the blood moon hanging over her beloved city.
"Trust me, kid," Iron Man said as they flew together towards the safety of Avengers Tower, "this is for the best."
The armored Avenger seemed strangely confident about that fact. But for the first time she could remember, Squirrel Girl wasn't feeling quite so optimistic…
