What Are Team-Up Abilities?
Team-Up Abilitiesare unique skills thatactivate when specific heroes share the same team.
They provide various boosts, includingspecial attacks,enhanced healing properties, andincreased movement options.
Choosing a hero who shares Team-Up Abilities with another friendly hero will give your team a significant advantage.
Team-Up Structure
A Team-Up consists oftwo to three heroes. One hero serves as theAnchor character. We’ll refer to the rest of the Team-Up heroes asAllies. Think of it as a giving/receiving dynamic.
TheAnchor character imparts a skill or boost to their Allies, whouse these skills to their advantage.
Youcannotactivate a Team-Up Ability if the Anchor character hero is absent from the match.
How To Activate Team-Up Abilities
Every Team-Up Ability has specific conditions of activation. However, we can separate them into two primary categories:
In most Team-Ups, theAnchor character ability is passive since they are granting a new skill to their allies (whose abilities are often active).Still, there are exceptions. For instance, Rocket Racoon’s (the Anchor character) ability is active in the Ammo Overload Team-Up, and The Punisher’s is passive.
