Easy swingand similar automatic swingare default settings Marvel Rivals that automate the swing skills for certain characters. Used by Poison And Spider Man respectively, they enable automated pendulum mechanisms… which are also quite inaccurate and impractical.
In this Marvel Rivals guide, we explain how these skills work and tell you How to disable Easy Swing (and automatic swing).
What is simple wave (and auto wave) in Marvel Rivals?
Easy swing is a skill for Venom that simplifies the character’s Venom Swing skill, allowing him to do so automatically shoots out a web or tendril and clinging to a physical point to anchor the swing. (Spider-Man basically has the same setting for his Web-Swing ability, but it’s called auto-swing.)
It’s a quality feature for beginners because it allows new players to get where they need to go without having to look up or around and do some quick math.
The problem with simple waving (and automatic waving) is that the computer tends to pick bizarre places for your web to go, and that’s unpredictable. That means it’s almost impossible to swing through the map with precision as Spider-Man or Venom with these settings enabled.
Disabling ‘easy swing’ and ‘auto swing’ means your character will shoot their web/vine where you aim. While this makes it much easier to sniff (the Venom Swing and Web-Swing skills don’t fire if you miss), it also means you can aim for the precise spot on the wall you want to swing from, allowing you to get a short and fast swing or set up a long swing with some minor mouse adjustments.
How to disable easy waving and auto waving in Marvel Rivals
Because both easy rocking and automatic rocking are character specific settingsthe quickest way to take them out is to charge into the practice range as Venom or Spider-Man. (You can disable the settings without actually to play like the spider friends, but it’s a good idea to practice with them while you’re here).
Open the settings menu and select your input method (keyboard or controller). Select the submenu ‘fight’. At the top of the settings you should see a bar that says “all heroes” with a yellow box next to it that says “change hero” next to a photo of whoever you are playing with. Select the yellow box or press the ‘all heroes’ button and select Spider-Man or Venom.
For both Spider-Man and Venom you will find the simple and automatic swing options in the hero subsection. Easily switch on swing for Venom or auto swing for Spider-Man to improve your swing.
Before you leave the practice range, you should check out another option: hold to wave. By default, you tap the wave button to wave and tap it again to release. Some players may find the default here a bit clunky, while enabling Hold to Swing will keep you swinging as long as the button is held down and letting go as soon as you let go. Enabling Hold to Swing can really speed up your swing, so give it a test run while you’re in the practice arena.
