Marvel Rivals Team-Up: All Character Combos & How They Work

Picking your hero in Marvel Rivals isn’t just about choosing your favorite character – it’s also about who they work best with. Team-ups are special abilities that activate when certain heroes are on the same team, and they can really change how a match plays out.

Think of team-ups as extra powers you get for free just by having the right heroes together. When you’re playing Hulk, you can grab Wolverine and throw him at enemies. If you’re Storm, teaming up with Thor lets you call down even more lightning than usual.

You don’t need to memorize every combination right away. Start with learning the team-ups for your main character, and you’ll naturally pick up more as you play. Let’s break down exactly how these team-ups work, which heroes can use them, and what you get from each combination in Marvel Rivals.

Every character in Marvel Rivals has at least one team-up option available. Some heroes like Rocket Raccoon, Luna Snow, Thor, Spider-Man, and Jeff the Land Shark can activate multiple team-ups, making them particularly versatile picks. Here’s a complete breakdown of every team-up in the game:

How to Activate Team-Up Abilities in Marvel Rivals

Getting team-ups to work is straightforward but requires coordination with your teammates. When you have the right character combination on your team, you’ll see a special team-up indicator on your HUD. Most team-ups activate automatically when the required conditions are met, while others give you a new ability button to press.

For interactive team-ups like the Fastball Special between Hulk and Wolverine, both players need to agree to the interaction. This prevents trolling and ensures team-ups are used effectively. Some team-ups have cooldowns to prevent overuse, so timing their activation is key to maximizing their impact.

Keep in mind that team-ups are powerful but not game-breaking. They add helpful advantages that can give you an edge, but matches are still decided by skill and teamwork. The best strategy is to pick characters you’re comfortable with first, and treat team-ups as a bonus rather than building your entire strategy around them.

Whether you’re grouping up with friends or playing solo, understanding these character combinations helps you make better hero choices and contribute more to your team’s success.

Try different team-ups to find the ones that match your playstyle and give your squad the boost it needs to secure more victories.
