Marvel Rivals: The 7 Best Team-Up Hero Combos (2024)

Marvel Rivals drops you into a high-octane arena brimming with superheroes and villains from the Marvel Universe with countless threads of interconnected stories, rivalries, and alliances. The game brilliantly captures this essence, and allows you to recreate classic partnerships or forge unexpected bonds to create dynamic teams where you can leverage their different abilities to effectively dominate the arena with your teammates.

The game does a good job of balancing the team-ups with a unique rooster to choose from. All team-ups give you unique skills which can in turn amplify your chosen character strengths to devastating effect. The following are some of the most potent team-ups you can use that offer a unique blend of abilities and potential to give you an edge in your battles.

This team-up is composed of the unlikely duo of Scarlet Witch and Magneto, who fuse to form a formidable force in terms of raw power. This composition allows Scarlet Witch to infuse Magneto's Greatsword with chaotic energy from her passive ability (Chaotic Bond), which significantly increases its damage output.

Keep in mind that this ability is activated when Magneto uses his active ability (Metallic Fusion), and it lasts for ten seconds. Strategic timing is essential to maximize the impact of this team-up, especially when facing opponents with higher HP, because it has a 30-second cooldown.

6 Ammo Overload

Ammo Overload pairs the firepower of Punisher with the inventive genius of the Rocket Raccoon. When activated, Rocket tosses a device that grants Punisher an infinite ammo supply and significantly boosts his firing rate.

This pair works with Rocket Racoon as the leader and Punisher as the ally, utilizing his active ability (Ammo invention) to boost his weapons. This team-up is particularly effective in situations with large groups of enemies or for mowing down enemies with significantly higher health.

5 Symbiote Bond

This is a lethal team-up trio that is composed of Spider-Man, Peni Parker and Venom. When activated, Venom shares a portion of his symbiote with his allies, granting them enhanced abilities. Spider-Man and Peni Parker gain the power to convert the symbiote into explosive spikes which deal damage and simultaneously push back enemies.

This team-up is highly effective as it can be used in both a defensive and offensive capacity, where the spikes can prevent enemies from coming too close, and you can attack by use of its explosive spikes to disrupt enemy formations. Venom also provides additional support by using the symbiote to create a protective barrier.

4 Ragnarok Rebirth

This team-up works by combining Hela with Thor or Loki, which offers a strategic advantage on the battlefield. When activated, Hela can manipulate death and instantly resurrect Loki or Thor if they have been killed or boost their health after she makes a kill.

Given Hela’s characteristic style as a duelist, who attacks at range, this team-up enables Hela to assume both a support and offensive role, as she inflicts damage to enemies and extends Loki or Thor’s presence on the battlefield. When used strategically, you can turn the tide of a battle by boosting your team and allowing your allies to assume a more aggressive playstyle.

3 Dimensional Shortcut

Like the name suggests, this pair-up enables you to have instant mobility to any point on the map. It is composed of Black Panther and Magik, who, when combined, allow Magik to open a portal to a specific location, granting Black Panther the ability to teleport through it instantly.

For the teleport ability to work, Magik has to be the leader and Black Panther the Ally. This strategic maneuver offers a lot of flexibility in combat because Black Panther can use the Dimensional Shortcut to flank enemies, reposition for a counterattack, or escape dangerous situations.

2 Guardian Revival

Centered around Adam Warlock as the Leader and both Mantis and Peter Quill as allies, this combination grants the team an extraordinary ability to recover from defeat. Keep in mind that the team member playing Adam Warlock has to still be alive for the ability associated with this team to be activated.

When either Mantis or Quill is eliminated in this pair-up, Adam Warlock's quantum magic activates the Cocoon Revival, a process that resuscitates the fallen Guardian after a short period. This unique mechanic allows the team to maintain a consistent presence on the battlefield, even when a fight has not gone in your favor.

1 Planet X Pals

For fans of the Groot and Rocket Racoon Duo in the movies, this is one of the best team-up combos. When you activate the ability with this pairing, Rocket climbs onto Groot's shoulders, gaining a significant damage reduction buff. This transformation also turns Rocket into a mobile healer, capable of restoring health to both himself and Groot.

The Planet X Pals team-up offers a perfect blend of offense and defense. Rocket's increased survival allows him to deliver consistent damage without risking himself much, while his healing abilities keep the duo in the fight longer. In the meanwhile, Groot serves as a sturdy platform and protective shield for Rocket, ensuring a powerhouse that can give opponents a hard time to take down.
