FIFA Rivals provides an effective way to score goals in the form of your Super ability, and recharging it fast can make the difference between a win and a loss.
For starters, your Super can be used as an effective strategy in both offence and defence. However, you’ll have to charge up your ability first to use it. As of writing, you can save up to two Supers at a point in time, but there are a few tips and tricks to follow if you want to outpace your opponent. These tips will help you accelerate your ability faster than your opponent and trigger them quicker (which is an important factor).
How does the Super Ability work in FIFA Rivals?
The Super Ability can be used in two ways.
- Thwart your opponent as they try to score a goal and capture the ball back. You can then send it to your attackers to try to score a goal. The objective is to use the Super to stop your opponent from scoring, especially after triggering their ability.
- Trigger the Super in offence to push the defenders and goalkeeper away and potentially score a goal. The resulting shot travels extremely fast, making it nearly impossible for the goalkeeper to dive and save it.
Timing also matters. In defence, try to trigger your Super after your opponent has done the same and is about to take the goal-scoring shot. In offence, try to reach at least close to the penalty box (it’s better if you’re inside it) before taking the shot. Don’t swipe too fast – remember that the shot will travel as quickly as possible anyway. Just concentrate on landing the ball inside the goal.
How to charge your Super fast in FIFA Rivals?
Recharging your Super isn’t rocket science, but the game explains very little about it. I have learnt this after spending nearly 30 hours with the game since its global launch (and the beta).
- You’ll have to use players with high Explosiveness and try to do activities with them. This can include carrying the ball, dribbling with it past defenders, tackling and winning the ball pack, and passing to teammates. Ideally, it’s best to have as many cards with high Explosiveness as possible.
- Keep the ball in your possession. Not only does it increase your chances of scoring a goal, but you’ll also charge up your ability faster.
- Travelling in the ball recharges your ability slightly faster (this might be a placebo, but I have noticed this for both myself and my opponents). However, be careful not to get tackled by the opponent.
That’s how easy it is to charge your ability quickly in FIFA Rivals. Lastly, remember to use them and time their usage to make the most of this fun mechanic.
