Marvel Rivals has a bunch of different Team-Up Abilities that can improve the strength of a bunch of characters. While there aren't any abilities that actively hurt your team by having, but there are definitely stronger Team-Ups than others. To know which are the best Team-Ups to use, we will break down our take on team up rankings!
There are currently 15 different Team-Ups Abilities in the game. Some of them are passive and remain active as long as both team up characters stay selected. Other Team-Ups give a bonus ability that has an recharge timer like other abilities. There are no Team-Ups that are bad, so a low ranking doesn't mean it can't have beneficial outcomes in matches.

C Tier
C-Tier
For arguably the worst Team-Up in the game, Hulk and Wolverine have Fastball Special. The only way to use this is for both Wolverine and Hulk to both engage the ability, which means they both stop fighting. The payoff is simply throwing Wolverine with a lunge attack. It's the most complicated Team-Up with the worst payoff. No new abilities are unlocked and nothing enhanced. It's a Team-Up you will almost always ignore and never try to utilize.
Symbiote Bond is a pretty lackluster Team-Up with Venom, Spider-Man, and Peni Parker. Its best usage is with Spider-Man since he gets close to fight, but you need them close to deal damage. Pushing them back will often be counter productive in combat situations. You can swing into a group of enemies to use the ability, but it isn't strong enough to warrant diving in for. Peni Parker isn't a brawler, so the knockback can get opponents away from you, but it often doesn't make a big impact. That's the main miss on the ability: low impact and not impressive.
B-Tier
Planet X Pals is a great example of a B-Tier Team-Up. This works with Groot allowing Jeff the Land Shark and Rocket Raccoon to ride on his shoulder for some damage reduction. The ability is situational, but your Strategists can use it without needing Groot to accept. They can jump on, heal or attack who they need to, and jump off when it makes sense. It won't be used a bunch, which makes it more situation and a clear marker for a lower tier Team-Up.
For another Guardian of the Galaxy centered Team-Up, we have Mantis, Star-Lord and Adam Warlock called Guardian Revival. It's a simple, passive ability that lets Mantis and Star-Lord self-revive like Adam Warlock. His revive can come in handy to surprise return to battle to resurrect your team with his ultimate. Mantis, however, doesn't have as much of a big impact play after returning. The ability is great, don't get me wrong. It just isn't a high impact Team-Up ability.
A-Tier
This tier will have the the bulk of the Team-Ups in the game. Most of them offer a new ability that gives a consistent positive ability, making it worth using frequently.
Atlas Bond teams up Iron Fist with Luna Snow. This gives her a new active ability that can be used offensively and as a heal. While it only benefits Luna, the ability grants you an additional way to heal your team. A free, extra healing tool is always a great asset to have, even if it's just simple. The damage portion will be less necessary in most situations.
ESU Alumnus matches Spider-Man and Squirrel Girl for a Team-Up. It gives her a new active ability that lets her throw a new projectile to trap enemies. Another free ability that gives you more consistent flexibility is a strong ability to have.
The next 3 Team-Ups share a common factor: free bonus damage on existing moves. You have Gamma Charge for Hulk, Iron Man, and Doctor Strange, Chilling Charisma for Luna Snow, Jeff the Land Shark, and Namor, and Voltaic Union using Thor, Storm, and Captain America. Each of these all just improve existing abilities, making them all solid ways of making your team comp more dangerous!
For a more brawler-centric team up, Magik combos with Black Panther and Psylocke in Dimensional Shortcut. These characters already thrive on bring unpredictable and aggressive, so letting them teleport away and gain health at the push of a button us extremely strong.
Metallic Chaos lets Scarlet Witch gives Magneto a special sword to swing at enemies. It's a very simple attack, but a strong one that elevates Magneto to a much higher performance level.
S Tier
These Team-Ups give extraordinary abilities with very high impact capabilities. They all stand out as notably stronger than A-Tier abilities, and are definitely worth trying to utilize every match that you can.
Hela teams up with Thor and Loki in Ragnarok Rebirth. The ability literally lets you revive Thor and Loki as a Duelist. While it's only 2 characters, giving your Vanguard and Strategist a chance to revive quickly when you are the Duelist is incredibly powerful. No other Team-Up ability in the game gives bonus revives for non-Strategist characters.
For a more damage-focused team up, The Punisher and Winter Soldier Team-Up with Rocket Raccoon in Ammo Overload. Giving your high damage Duelists the ability to never reload while shooting faster is a crazy recipe for domination. The Punisher already can mow down enemies by himself. That boost makes him and Winter Soldier incredibly deadly and difficult to fight against.
Another to increase damage output is Hawkeye and Black Widow's Allied Agents. This lets Black Widow have a mini version of Hawkeye's ultimate ability. Shooting the afterimage of opponents let's you finish off evasive opponents and lock in difficult kills. Hawkeye's ultimates is one of the best in the game, so Black Widow getting her own version of it will naturally make for a top tier Team-Up.
Last but not least is Lunar Force, utilizing Moon Knight with Cloak & Dagger. This Team-Up lets Moon Knight activate an invisibility bubble he can spawn at will. The ability can seriously mess with your opponents. Are you in the bubble and attacking? Is the bubble down a distraction? The mystery makes Moon Knight very easy to vanish with and catch your opponent off guard. Since they can't see you, targeting you becomes impossible, so blindly shooting into the dome won't even put Moon Knight in much danger. The ability is also a perfect way to hide yourself in combat as you summon your ultimate to the perfect spot.
Wrap Up
That covers all of the current rankings for every Team-Up. It isn't currently clear if balance updates will buff or nerf Team-Ups. If there are changes, or new Team-Ups are released, we will update this list to a more up to date one.
