Marvel Rivals Hulk guide: Abilities, ultimate, tips, more

When it comes to tanks, aka Vanguards in Marvel Rivals, Hulk is one of the more complicated heroes, with three different forms to play as, things can get quite tricky. 

There’s far more to Hulk in Marvel Rivals than smashing things apart, so here is everything you need to know about his abilities and some tips on how to play him effectively. 

Marvel Rivals Hulk overview

As we’ve alluded to already, Hulk has three forms. Bruce Banner, Hero Hulk, and Monster Hulk. As you go up the transformations, Hulk gets stronger. 

The plus side to having different formations is that when you die as Monster Hulk, you’ll just return to Hero Hulk, and then again with Hero Hulk to Bruce Banner. 

So here is a rundown of each form’s abilities.

Marvel Rivals Hulk guide: Tips and tricks 

The most important thing when playing as Hulk is staying alive. Since you essentially have three different lives, make sure to keep building your ult so you will always have a transformation ready.

If you find yourself as Bruce Banner often, you may be playing the hero wrong, as that form should be your last resort after being killed as Hero Hulk. 

When playing as Hero Hulk, his potential to dive targets and cause a distraction in the backline is great, so make sure to coordinate targets with your Duelists. Additionally, always make sure you’re building gamma energy as more time spent as Monster Hulk is great.

As both Hero and Monster Hulk, you have great mobility, so use it to go in and out of their backline. But always make sure you have a leap ready to escape quickly. 

Radioactive Lockdown is a fantastic ability to initiate fights as in the time enemies are trapped, it gives a good moment to take space to initiate a kill.
