Marvel Rivals Team-Ups powers are an important ability to master, granting passive benefits or even entirely new abilities to certain heroes if a certain character is also on their team. Superheroes are known, and often defined by their teams and associations. From the Avengers to the X-Men, the Fantastic Four, or any various other groups ripped from the pages - working together is at the heart ofMarvel Rivals.

Team-Ups are not game-breakingly devastating combos, but they add useful benefits, making good characters great, or great characters even better. For example, Thor lends some of his thunderous power to Storm and Captain America, while Rocket Raccoon can help the Punisher and Winter Soldier with a deployable weapon-buffing device. Here’s what you need to know about how Marvel Rivals Team-Ups work and which ones are best.

Marvel Rivals Team-Up powers mean giving some thought to how you compose your team. They’re not essential and you don’t need them to win games, but it’s free power on the table. If the enemy team gets a lot of use out of Team-Ups and you have none, it could be a deciding factor between a win and a loss.

However, if you’re duoing with a friend, you’ll always get benefits by matching the right heroes. Especially if you’re playing the bestMarvel Rivals characters, it’s a great way to supercharge their power even further. If you want to know the best of the best, here’s my recommendation for Team-Up abilities.

As mentioned, Marvel Rival Team-Up powers let certain characters gain benefits if they’re joined by a relevant hero. These bring different characters together for the squad’s benefit. Typically, one or two heroes will get powerful abilities or passives out of the exchange. These extra abilities also have long cooldowns due to their power, so you don’t have to worry too much about these abilities being spammed.

Unfortunately, these are a one-way street. While one character gets a big buff, often with a new ability, the other hero will not. While the UI seems to suggest that Seasonal Bonuses are only applied when in a team-up, this isn’t true. Seasonal Bonuses are always active giving Damage, Health and Healing boosts no matter who is on your team.
