Teamwork makes the dream work, whether in life, esports, or Marvel’s wonderful comic book world. Marvel Rivals has plenty of powerful Team-Up abilities you can use to dominate the battlefield, but you need to know what they are before you can start using them.
Every character you can play has unique abilities. But there are also special Team-Up abilities that might inspire you to strategically craft your teams, like Rocket and Groot or Iron Man and Hulk, to create powerful combos. Here are all the available Team-Ups in Marvel Rivals and what each one does.
Update on Dec. 31: We added two new Team-Up abilities for Rogue and Gambit while making adjustments to existing ones. We’ve also removed Mental Projection Team-up, retiring in season 5.5.
All Team-Ups in Marvel Rivals
All characters in Marvel Rivals have at least one team-up available to use, and no character will ever be released without one. While not all of them are anchors, they should have a team-up, which gives them a buff or a special ability to make their kit better. There are currently 23 Team-Ups you can use, with some including just two characters and others allowing for even more.
Some playable characters have more than one Team-Up ability, making them even more important in a roster composition. The characters with two Team-Up abilities are as follows:
- Hulk
- Groot
- Jeff the Land Shark
- Luna Snow
- Rocket Raccoon
- Human Torch
- Hela
- The Thing
- The Punisher
- Thor
- Wolverine
