Marvel Rivals Season 2 is taking great strides forward in expanding and refining alliances with the team-ups. These partnerships forge new paths to give players additional approaches or tactics to beat the challenges and outwit opponents. Jump into the season, and you’ll find players figuring out the best combinations that could boost their playstyle into victory. Let’s catch some of the standout team-ups in Season 2, including ways they shine and use them to your advantage.
Arcane Order
The Arcane Order team-up is a powerful synergy of Doctor Strange and the Scarlet Witch. Doctor Strange draws upon his mastery of the mystic arts for Scarlet Witch, converting her Chthonian Burst into Mystic Burst. This new ability allows the Scarlet Witch to bombard a target direction with magical missiles in a fast-firing sequence.
In contrast to her basic attack, which expends Chaos Energy for each missile, Mystic Burst is free of resource consumption, making it lethal when sustained damage over time is necessary. Therefore, the results of this team-up against airborne heroes and distant Duelists are devastating. It will also haunt characters who like to stay out of arm’s reach like Hela, Moon Knight, and Rocket Raccoon.
Mental Projection
Marvel Rivals season 2 is now featuring mental team-ups between Emma Frost, Magneto, and Psylocke. Emma Frost anchors the team-up and has been awarded a massive 100 boost toward max health. Through this team-up, Emma Frost creates mental projections of Magneto and Psylocke, confusing enemies by mimicking their movements and abilities. The illusions do 100% damage; hence, they are a great choice in a fight.
Fortunately for Psylocke, the team-up is ideal when she’s attacking enemies’ backliners since the illusion helps in dealing double damage. Along with this, Magneto gets the ability of Magnetic Resonance, to which Psylocke gives the Soul Resurgence ability. But this can be countered by heroes such as Peni Parker, The Thing, and Human Torch. These heroes can interfere with their ability by causing losses in terms of illusions or restricting the actual heroes’ movements.
Stars Aligned
Stars Aligned brings together the world’s best heroes that have ever lived, Captain America with the Winter Soldier. Apart from receiving an increase of 100 points as a maximum health increase, Captain America also benefits with a damage boost of 5% as the Team-Up Anchor. On another note, Winter Soldier unlocks the incredibly deadly Stellar Impact with his pairing with Captain America.
With Stellar Impact, Winter Soldier will have a nifty ability to jump forward toward any ally in close combat. When he lands, he slams his fist into the ground, causing damage to any nearby enemies. This ability increases Winter Soldier’s mobility and also gives added support to his teammates by eliminating any close threats.
This Team-up is especially helpful when facing a flanker-heavy or Duelist-heavy line-up like Psylocke, Black Panther, Spider-Man, or Iron Fist. Then Captain America causes a jam with Winter Soldier to reposition both of them after disrupting the enemy’s backlines. In turn, they will now be able to do a focus switch to the enemy’s Duelists with the slow effect from their collision to finish off the weakened foes.
Conclusion
Marvel Rivals’ Season 2 is an exciting treat of team-ups promising to take gameplay to a whole new level. New and refreshed synergies would leave players with the need to adapt and innovate to leave their enemies behind. Indeed, with these constant upgrades, the future promises even more exciting team-ups and many future dynamics between characters.
