The hero-shooter genre is increasingly saturated, but Marvel Rivals seems to be here to stay. One of the features that helps it stand out is the team-up combos you can do by using certain characters. By combining these characters, players can unlock new passive and active abilities that offer an edge in 6v6 matches. These combinations maximise each character’s potential and will hopefully help you secure the win. Every team-up has a primary hero and one or more heroes you can partner with to get the extra ability. However, not every character will receive the boost. For example, with the Dimensional Shortcut ability, only half of the partnership will see a benefit. Magik, the primary hero, is unaffected by this team-up, while Psylocke or Black Panther get the ability. Below, we’ve outlined all of the possible combinations and how they all work.

There are currently 15 possible team-ups in Marvel Rivals. You must combine at least three characters to get a team-up to work, but in some cases, you can have more, which we’ve specified below. Sometimes, they work passively, while in other cases, you need to activate certain abilities. All inputs for the different moves appear in the bottom right of the screen.

Metallic Chaos

Metallic Chaos powers up Magneto’s sword. Captured by VideoGamer

Team-up heroes – Magneto with Scarlet Witch
Magneto – Metallic Fusion
Scarlet Witch – Chaotic Bond (passive)
Effect – Scarlet Witch can infuse Chaos Energy into Magneto to enchant his greatsword. Upon receiving Chaos Energy, Magneto can unleash its full force, striking down enemies with his enchanted greatsword.

Metallic Chaos lets Scarlet Witch passively boost Magneto’s damage output when using his C ability. The neat part is that she doesn’t have to do anything to get this combo to work, while Magneto turns from the usual Vanguard hero into a much more potent brawler.

Symbiote Bond

Venom isn’t shy about sharing his symbiote. Captured by VideoGamer

Team-up heroes – Venom with Spiderman / Peni Parker
Venom – Touch of Klyntar (passive)
Spider-Man – Suit Expulsion
Peni Parker – Armor Expulsion
Effect – Venom shares a part of his symbiotes with Spider-Man and Peni Parker, activating their symbiote abilities. Spider-Man and Peni Parker can convert the symbiotes into explosive spikes that inflict harm on nearby enemies and relentlessly drive them back.

Symbiote Bond helps both Spider-Man and Peni Parker to better control the battlefield, thanks to Venom’s passive. It turns their C ability into a thorns-like effect with the added benefit of having knockback. You can use it to press the advantage and create space for your team, or similarly, to push back enemies and escape from a nasty situation.

Gamma Charge

The Hulk simply radiates when joined by his friends. Captured by VideoGamer

Team-up heroes – Hulk with Doctor Strange/Iron Man
Bruce Banner – Gamma Boost (passive)
Doctor Strange – Gamma Maelstrom
Iron Man – Gamma Overdrive
Effect – Hulk charges Doctor Strange and Iron Man with gamma radiation. When Doctor Strange uses Maelstrom of Madness, he unleashes excess gamma energy. When Iron Man uses Armor Overdrive, he will initiate a gamma upgrade.

The mere presence of Bruce Banner as The Hulk activates the Gamma Charge combo for Doctor Strange and Iron Man, boosting their E abilities. Doctor Strange’s DPS gains a substantial boost when using Maelstrom of Madness, which is already a potent AoE skill. Meanwhile, Iron Man’s Overdrive becomes more powerful, boosting the effects considerably.

Ammo Overload

A deadly combination in Marvel Rivals. Captured by VideoGamer

Team-up heroes – Rocket Raccoon with The Punisher/Winter Soldier
The Punisher/Winter Soldier – Infinite Punishment/Grit (passive)
Rocket Raccoon – Ammo Invention
Effect – Rocket Raccoon throws an Ammo Overload Device in the target direction. Upon entering the device’s range, The Punisher or the Winter Soldier receive buffs of Infinite Ammo and Faster Firing

Sweet and simple, Ammo Overload is an amazing combo for The Punisher. Rocket Raccoon’s device is already a great boost for anyone, but Frank Castle and Bucky take it to the next level. With both of their weapons boosted, he becomes a killing machine with infinite ammo and faster firing.

Dimensional Shortcut

Turning back time in style. Captured by VideoGamer

Team-up heroes – Magik with Black Panther/Psylocke
Black Panther – Wakandan Master
Psylocke – Psionic Disc
Magik – No effect
Effect – Psylocke and Black Panther can activate a Limbo Disc and use the portal travelling back in time

Dimensional Shortcut is a simple and effective tool for Psylocke and Black Panther to get around the battlefield. It’s a good mobility tool, especially since both can suffer from being stuck when their abilities are on cooldown. This way, they can open a portal to go back in time and replenish some of their health in the process.

Guardian Revival

(Some) Heroes never die. Captured by VideoGamer

Team-up heroes – Adam Warlock with Star-Lord/Mantis
Adam Warlock – Soul Perseverance (passive)
Star-Lord – Leader’s Soul (passive)
Mantis – Nature’s Soul (passive)
Effect – Adam Warlock enhances the rebirth power of Star-Lord and Mantis, granting them the power of cocooned revival.

Guardian Revival is a passive team-up for everyone involved, requiring only that Adam Warlock be alive for its effect to take place. On being taken down, Star-Lord or Mantis will be enveloped in a bright cocoon for a few seconds, before getting resurrected to get back into the fight. This ability can easily turn the tide of a fight, so if you’re playing Adam, you should play safely to let the ability trigger in case your allies fall.

Planet X Pals

Jeff joins Rocket and Groot as the best trio in the game. Captured by VideoGamer

Team-up heroes – Groot with Rocket Raccoon/Jeff the Land Shark
Groot – Friendly Shoulder
Rocket Raccoon – Old Friends
Jeff the Land Shark – New Friends
Effect – Rocket Raccoon and Jeff the Land Shark can ride on Groot’s shoulders, receiving Damage Reduction.

Just like in the comics and movies, this inseparable duo can team up to become stronger together. With Groot filling the Vanguard role as a tank character, he can let Rocket hop on by pressing C, protecting the Strategist, aka support, and granting him some extra damage reduction as well as a nice tall vantage point. In a similar fashion, Groot can lend his support to protect Jeff, giving the healer some much-needed damage reduction.

Chilling Charisma

No one is more charismatic than Jeff the Land Shark. Captured by VideoGamer

Team-up heroes – Luna Snow with Namor/Jeff the Land Shark
Luna Snow – Icy Disco (passive)
Namor – Frozen Spawn
Jeff the Land Shark – Frozen Spitball
Effect – Luna Snow infuses ice energy into Namor and Jeff the Land Shark, who then can tap into the ice energy to power up abilities at will.

With the Chilling Charisma team-up, Luna Snow can passively grant Namor a new C key ability and Jeff the Land Shark an X key ability. For Namor, it works similarly to his E, summoning an octopus to turret any enemies in range. However, this is a boosted version with ice powers added, dealing more damage and applying a slow effect. Meanwhile, Jeff’s X provides a stronger ranged option than his default right-click offers.

Ragnarok Rebirth

Hela can breathe new life into Loki and Thor. Captured by VideoGamer

Team-up heroes – Hela with Hela/Thor
Hela – Queen of Hel (passive)
Loki – Laufeyson Reborn (passive)
Thor – Odinson Reborn (passive)
Effect – When Hela lands a final hit in defeating an enemy, she can instantly resurrect Loki in the respawn phase, or grant bonus health if still alive.

At best, Ragnarok Rebirth is a situational combo, allowing Hela to boost Loki’s and Thor’s return after she kills an enemy or otherwise increase their health pool. If Loki or Thor is waiting for respawn, proccing this team-up immediately lets them return to battle, removing the respawn timer completely. Otherwise, she can grant the trickster and thunder god a health boost, increasing their durability.

Voltaic Union

Sparks will fly with this combination. Captured by VideoGamer

Team-up heroes – Thor with Storm/Captain America
Thor – Thunderous Deity (passive)
Storm – Charged Gale
Captain America – Charged Aegis (passive)
Effect – Thor infuses Thorforce into Storm, granting her an electrifying enhancement. With an electrifying enhancement, Storm can unleash a lightning barrage while Cap’s shield is charged with thunder, and he moves quicker

Thor passively builds up Thorforce stacks to use with his abilities. With the Voltaic Union team-up, he can instead passively infuse Storm and let her use them to power up her Charged Gale ability. That turns an already potent AoE power into a literal barrage of storm and lightning energy, dealing much more damage in the process. Cap gains a movement boost, and his shield is not imbued with thunder power.

Lunar Force

A (Lunar) Force to be reckoned with. Captured by VideoGamer

Team-up heroes – Cloak & Dagger with Moon Knight
Cloak & Dagger – No effect
Moon Knight – Full Moon
Effect – Cloak & Dagger inject energy into Moon Knight, which allows him to become invisible

Moon Knight is already one of the best characters to use in the game with plenty of different moves. If Cloak & Dagger are playing, then he gains the added ability to turn invisible, allowing him to skulk around the battlefield even more stealthily.

Allied Agents

It’s a deadly alliance in Marvel Rivals. Captured by VideoGamer

Team-up heroes – Hawkeye and Black Widow
Hawkeye – No effect
Black Widow – Supersensory Hunt
Effect – Hawkeye lends Black Widow his sight so she can now see the shadows enemies leave behind and damage them this way

Despite not impacting Hawkeye, this ability elevates one of the best long-range characters Marvel Rivals has to offer, allowing Black Widow to be even more deadly with improved vision and making her capable of shooting shadows.

Atlas Bond

Make Luna Snow even more overpowered. Captured by VideoGamer

Team-up heroes – Iron Fist and Luna Snow
Iron Fist – No effect
Luna Snow – Frozen Chi
Effect – Luna Snow can radiate an ice shockwave that’s been charged with Chi, knocking back enemies and slowing them down in the process

This is another team-up that only affects half of the players involved. But, it does offer Luna Snow a devastating new attack that knocks back opponents and heals allies nearby in one quick movement.

ESU Alumnus

Back to their college days. Captured by VideoGamer

Team-up heroes – Spider-Man and Squirrel Girl
Spider-Man – No effect
Squirrel Girl – Webbed Acorn
Effect – Spider-Man charges up Squirrel Girl’s bomb with webs so it now immobilises enemies

Webbed Acorn enables Squirrel Girl to stop enemy players in their tracks, with it having a healthy blast radius that will slow down multiple targets at once by wrapping them up in Spider-Man’s webs.

Fastball Special

It’s a classic team-up for the ages. Captured by VideoGamer

Team-up heroes – Hulk and Wolverine
Hulk – Gamma Fastball
Wolverine – Fastball Special
Effect – The Hulk picks up Wolverine, launching him great distances so Wolverine can get into the action quickly

Any fan of the comics will recognise this move that’s usually performed by Wolverine and Colossus. But, in his place here is the Hulk, who can throw Wolverine once both players engage in the move, enabling Wolverine to attack enemies far away, causing plenty of damage on impact.
