Marvel Rivals How to Play Hulk
Pick Hulk and jump into a battle! As Bruce Banner, you spawn with your ultimate fully charged. You can activate your ultimate ability and turn Bruce into the Hulk. Bruce has only a weak-looking gun and a weak grenade.
Hulk, on the other hand, has strong abilities: he can freeze the enemy, defend his allies, and perform an attack called Gamma Burst with massive gamma damage. You also have the Hulk Smash ultimate, which sends enemies flying upward with strong punches.
If you die as the Hulk, you turn back into Bruce. If you shoot enemies in this form, then your Hulk mode will fill up, while if you die as Bruce, you will be sent back to base, whence you spawn with the ultimate for Hulk ready. Try staying in Hulk form and supporting your teammates as long as possible. Frequent turning into Bruce Banner weakens you so much.
If you want to dominate the ladder with Hulk right away but don’t want to spend time to Unlock Competitive mode, we’ve got you covered! Our pro players can handle it quickly and effortlessly.
Marvel Rivals Hulk Strategy
The Marvel Rivals Hulk is a tank who does all his job in the middle of battle. Players will have to perfect his transformations and timing. Staying in the Hulk form longer is crucial because Bruce Banner is considerably weak.
Convoy Mode:
- Defense: Start with Bruce Banner to stall enemies with Gamma Grenade. Transform into Hulk to surprise the enemy team and control the objective area. Save Indestructible Guard to protect allies and the payload.
- Offense: Utilize Incredible Leap to dive into enemy lines, targeting mobile heroes like Iron Fist or Star-Lord. Utilize Radioactive Lockdown to lock down enemies, forcing an opening for your team.
Domination Mode:
- Tag with Wolverine for the Gamma Fastball combo to break up enemy formations. Go for high-priority targets like Thor or Venom using World Breaker during Monster Hulk transformation.
- Control the front and the backline, protecting your Strategists from enemy assassins like Psylocke or Moon Knight. Keep in mind the counters to enemy ultimates with your invulnerability on transformation.
Convergence Mode:
- Hold the zone with Indestructible Guard ability and coordinate with healers to maintain the sustained team. Counter swarm with Monster Hulk’s invulnerability and take objectives. Do not overextend in fights, or you will revert back to Bruce Banner and may get caught.

Marvel Rivals Hulk Tips And Tricks
The Hulk kit in Marvel Rivals has a lot of utility and can be used in various ways. Follow these tips and tricks for Hulk to play the game better and win it more often.
- Stay in Hulk form: Control Gamma Energy, which transforms you back into Bruce Banner as you stay in Hulk form. When you return to Banner form, use Gamma Grenade and Gamma Ray Gun for quick energy regeneration.
- Use Incredible Leap strategically: to engage flying enemies such as Iron Man or Storm, or gap close to ambuscade backline targets.
- Prioritize enemy healers: Radioactive Lockdown is ideal for locking down key supports, and letting your team take them out.
- Synergize with teammates: Hulk would be amazing if the team suppored him well. Move closer towards allies, especially healers, and use the Indestructible Guard to grant some group survivability. Lead your team to victory!
