Team Compositions | Marvel Rivals
Overview
In Marvel Rivals like in any hero shooter, there are characters that have great synergy together and fit in a team perfectly together. Even tho you can have hybrid combinations and many champs can fit In many comps there are three main ones.
Dive Team Composition
Dive composition is the type of composition that’s super fast-paced and on point. Its bread and butter are mobile heroes that are rushing after the same target.
Whenever you engage a Dive composition you will notice they are looking to end the fight as soon as possible as they have great burst damage, but rather low sustained damage.
How To Play
Dive is the hardest team comp to coordinate, that’s why is best played with friends or using voice chat. Attacks need to be on the same target, that’s why you need call-outs, the faster you do it the better.
For example, Venom uses his rope and calls to jump on the enemy support, Spidey sees the opportunity, and follows up, how many chances do you think they have after that? They are gonna have a hard time dealing even with one of them, two are just a nightmare.
Enemy will need even more coordination to deal with you, and you can imagine how hard it is.
Strengths
Dive composition is a great counter to Poke composition, given their mobility, which allows them to reach your backline in no time! They make so much mess that the enemy team just falls to pieces.
Weaknesses
The Dive composition will have issues dealing with Rush compositions, as it is quite hard to pick out a target since they move together as a unit and have a lot of sustain! If the enemy team can help each other easily dive, heroes have a tough time.
Suggested Heroes
Every character that can go around the enemy frontline can fit into Dive Comp.
Vanguard: Hulk, Venom, Captain America
Duelist: Spider-Man, Star-Lord, Psylocke, Iron Fist, Black Panther
Strategist: Luna Snow, Mantis
Rush Team Composition
Overview
This composition breathes and moves as a single unit. They stick together at all times, making breaking their ranks almost a mission impossible.
How To Play
As we said, u have to stick together, keep close to each other, and cover up holes. That’s why characters like Emma Frost and Thor are great. They want to go fast and rush the enemy team, and if you have Storm to speed them up you will be an even greater threat.
When you play Rush comp, you need to go fast in and out of the combat. And because you are all in the crowd it is good to have some AoE heal like Raccoon that also makes heroes like Punisher and Winter Soldier, that fit perfectly in this comp already, even better.
Just try to stick with your team as much as you can, because if u are slacking it far away you become an easy target.
Strengths
Rush composition has great survivability, which in return makes it really hard to pick off anyone or find a hero out of position.
If you allow the Rush composition to reach you, they will crush your team in no time.
Great against Dive composition!
Weaknesses
The Rush composition is weak when played into the Poke composition, as being kept at a safe distance is one of the weakest things about it.
Suggested Heroes
Vanguard: Thor, Emma Frost, Magneto
Duelist: Storm (because she can speed up her teammates), Scarlet Witch, Punisher, Winter Soldier
Strategist: Luna Snow, Jeff, Rocket Raccoon, Cloak & Dagger.
Poke Team Composition
Overview
Poke is one of the easiest team compositions to get a hang of, making it a great option for newer and casual players.
It consists of heroes that have good and sustained long-range damage.
This composition will keep you at a safe distance until they break all of your barriers.
Duelists and Strategists are carefully hidden behind their tanks, looking for an opportunity to swing the odds in their favor.
They will play slowly and wait for you to make one or another mistake. Once they get a pick and make a fight 6v5, they will push forward and crush the remains of your team!
How To Play
Play slow, take control of the map and angles, make space for your duelists to make a kill, and when you have an advantage, push. Do it step by step and don’t hurry.
Let’s say there is Hela and two slow tanks like Groot and Doctor Strange. Both tanks keep their shield up and slowly move forward. The enemy team, if they don’t break your shields quickly, which is really hard to do, has no other option than to pull backward.
That way your Hella can move forward, take of angle, and while they are looking at your tanks, hit a headshot or two, and there you go, that’s a won fight already.
Strengths
The Poke composition is easy to coordinate with your team which also makes it one of the most consistent team compositions out there.
It is great against Rush compositions as you can keep them at a distance. It’s hard to deal with long-range duelists if you can’t reach them.
Weaknesses
Great Dive composition, as well as flankers, can destroy your backline without bigger problems. Anybody who can pass your frontline becomes a big problem.
Suggested Heroes
Vanguard: Doctor Strange, Magneto, Groot
Duelist: Hela, Punisher, Namor, Hawkeye
Strategist: Loki, Rocket Raccoon, Luna
Anti Dive
This is more counter-comp than actual comp, but it’s very important to know. Here fits any character that can stop fast and annoying heroes that can go to your backline like Black Panther, Magik, Iron Fist, Spidey, Captain America, and the rest.
The Best Heroes for doing this job are:
– The King for this role is definitely The Thing. He can easily jump and protect the backline, and interrupt all of your enemy’s abilities and intentions.
– Emma Frost, because of her diamond form and massive CC in that form.
– Loki, with all of his tricks, can spend you so much time trying to kill anyone, making him amazing at surviving dive heroes.
– Adam Warlock and his share link (LShift) will make u unkillable for such a long time, and his burst heal is hard to go through as a diver.
