While some skills can increase the kill potential of both characters, there are also Team-Up Skills that focus on utility over damage. So, if you’re looking to delve into the Marvel Rivals closed alpha test or want to know more about the game’s teamplay mechanics, then our Marvel Rivals Team-Up Skills guide has you covered.

Marvel Rivals Team-Up Skills are special abilities that enable characters to join forces, unleashing powerful coordinated attacks. Team-Up Skill can overwhelm even the toughest foes, and turn the tide of a battle when timed well. 

For example, one Special Skill enables Rocket Raccoon to ride on Groot’s back. During this state, Rocket Raccoon can safely fire his machine gun at enemies and has an added height advantage. Meanwhile, Groot also benefits from the increased range potential offered by Rocket’s gun. 

Hulk can also unleash Gamma energy to help charge Iron Man’s armor for massive damage, making for another deadly duo.
