How to play Hulk in Marvel Rivals

The most critical aspect of playing Hulk is survival. With three forms essentially acting as extra lives, your focus should be on consistently building your ultimate ability so you’re always ready to transform.

The Bruce Banner form should serve as a last resort after exhausting the Hero Hulk form and if you find yourself in Bruce Banner form too often, it likely means you’re not utilizing Hulk’s potential effectively.

When playing as Hero Hulk, use his ability to dive into the enemy backline to disrupt and distract. Coordinate with Duelists to focus targets effectively and always prioritize generating gamma energy, as more time spent in Monster Hulk form amplifies your impact.

As both Hero Hulk and Monster Hulk, take advantage of your excellent mobility to weave in and out of combat. Always have a leap ability ready to escape when needed.

Lastly, Radioactive Lockdown is an excellent initiation tool. The time enemies are trapped provides a perfect window to secure kills or create an opening for your team to dominate the fight.

If Hulk seems too intimidating for you, Wolverine and Hawkeye can be great alternatives. And if you’re looking to dominate the multiplayer lobbies, check out the best controller settings and PC settings for higher FPS in Marvel Rivals.
