During a heated game of Marvel Rivals, my team raids the Asgard throne room. An enemy healer playing Dagger is in the distance, working their way down the stairs to the control point, so my job as Punisher is to pull hard and focus fire on them as soon as possible. My aim tracks their movement and I whittle away their health bar before they can retreat behind a pillar, securing an important elimination to start the fight.
