To prevent either Doom from gaining absolute power, these heroes and villains must form alliances and battle it out in a desperate struggle for survival. You need to assemble a squad of Marvel superheroes and villains, ranging from the Avengers, Guardians of the Galaxy, and even Cloak And Dagger.
Each of these Marvel characters has unique abilities. You can combine these abilities to create powerful team-up moves and reverse the tide of battle. The best part is, all the environments are destructible in Marvel Rivals, meaning you can reshape the terrain and use your superpowers to alter the environments to turn the battle in your favor. It all comes down to how you strategize and combine your team’s abilities to outsmart your opponents and win in Marvel Rivals.
