Team-Up abilities are thematically appropriate moves in Marvel Rivals, allowing two or more heroes from the Marvel Universe to pair up and kick ass as a group. These unique effects can be extremely powerful, and can even change the tide of battle if you know what you’re doing.

Season 2 added several new Team-Ups while removing a few others. NetEase Games will continue to add more Team-Ups as the roster grows.

In this Marvel Rivals guide, we’ll walk you through how Team-Ups attacks work and what all the current in-game Team-Ups do.

How do Team-Ups work in Marvel Rivals

As of Season 2, there are 18 Team-Up abilities in Marvel Rivals to go along with the game’s roster of 38 heroes. There are also two newly “unavailable” Team-Ups, which could return in another season, but are currently inaccessible.

Because each Team-Up is unique, they all work a bit differently from one another, but the general idea is that pairing up certain heroes on the same team can offer spectacular benefits (you can see who your hero can use a Team-Up with in the center of your screen during character select).

Some of these benefits are purely passive, like Hela’s Ragnarok Rebirth ability, which allows her to resurrect Thor or Loki mid-combat if they’re on her team. Others, like Rocket Raccoon’s Ammo Overload, add an active ability for either the primary hero (the person supplying the Team-Up) to the secondary heroes (the heroes benefitting the most from the Team-Up).

Most Team-Ups are lopsided, meaning that one hero might not benefit at all from having allies in their Team-Up on the field. The other side, however, may benefit immensely by the presence of their generator ally. Lunar Force, for example, does nothing for Cloak & Dagger while Moon Knight is on their team. However, Cloak & Dagger’s presence allows Moon Knight to occasionally turn invisible, which is an extremely potent effect.

Team-Ups are not required for victory, but they can be extremely powerful, and are worth playing into whenever you get the chance. It’s a good idea to learn several different characters in your preferred role so that you can swap over to support an ally with a Team-Up.
