Marvel Rivals is a hero shooter video game featuring characters from the Marvel universe. It catches gamers' attention with its unique take on team-based combat.

The game strategically groups characters according to their shared comic book history and skill sets, encouraging players to form powerful teams. With these interconnected character relationships, Marvel Rivals adds a layer of strategy and depth to the game.
For example, Groot and Rocket share a team-up ability named Planet X Pals. Using this, Rocket can attach himself to Groot's shoulders, reduce damage of both players by 50%, and allow to heal the ally faster. This team-up indicates the close friendship that both characters share in Marvel.

With each new character being added, there comes an opportunity to create unique and engaging team-ups. Just imagine Antman taking a ride on an arrow fired by Hawkeye, a classic scene from The Avengers. Or picture the first ball special of Wolverine and Colossus; fans are eager for this fan-favorite move to be recreated in the game.
These are just some of the countless team-up scenarios that can be recreated in the game. As more characters get added, many new team-ups will follow, making it even more dynamic and engaging.

Unlike regular hero-shooter games with new characters that can alter the power balance, Marvel Rivals has introduced an additional layer of complexity. This is because every new character could redefine existing team compositions. When paired with the correct character, it can make a weak hero extremely strong. This dynamic interplay between characters creates an evolving meta that challenges players to adapt and experiment.
Marvel Rivals' team-up abilities are a game changer and, as more characters get added, players can expect the game to evolve with exciting experiences constantly.
