What Are Marvel Rivals Team-Ups?

Marvel Rivals Team-Ups are a feature that allows two or more Heroes to combine their powers to receive buffs and/or extra abilities, usually between characters that share the same playstyle or were together in the same Marvel Movie.

For example, Hulk, Dr. Strange, and Iron Man can form a Team-Up based on their appearance together in the same film. Alternatively, characters with similar fighting styles like Wolverine and Hulk can team up despite never sharing significant screen time.

Team-Ups: Holders vs Users

There is a common misconception when it comes to Team-ups in Marvel Rivals. Team-ups consist of two distinct roles: holders and users.

Team-up Holders

Team-up Holders enable other team-up members to function. They serve as the foundation that makes the entire system work. Without them present in a match, the team-up benefits don't activate for anyone.

For example, in the Symbiote Bond team-up, Venom acts as the holder. Spider-Man and Peni Parker only receive their team-up benefits when Venom is present in the match. To compensate for not receiving extra abilities like the users do, holders typically get passive buffs instead - in Venom's case, an additional 150 health points.

Team-up Users

Team-up Users directly benefit from the activated team-up. When all conditions are met (including having the holder present), users gain tangible advantages such as new abilities, damage boosts, or other enhancements.

In our Symbiote Bond example, Spider-Man and Peni Parker are the users. They each receive an extra ability when teamed up with Venom. These additional powers can significantly impact gameplay and create strategic advantages when properly utilized.

How Many Team-Ups Are There?

Marvel Rivals Season 1 features 16 team-ups. Each team-up requires at least two heroes to activate, with most following the holder/user dynamic described earlier.

These team-ups span various Marvel storylines, games, and cinematic connections. Some are based on comic relationships while others reference MCU team-ups or similar gameplay styles. The roster continues to evolve as new characters and seasons are introduced.
