The beginning Season of Marvel Rivals has three primary modes: Domination, Convoy, and Convergence. Since the game is a hero-shooter, there are mechanics that make it similar to other team-based shooters. There are 33 Marvel heroes to choose from, so with teams of six being the goal, you can choose from plenty of different team compositions. These kind of options and abilities makes every player wonder what is the best choice for these teams.
Determining the right team for your playstyle is incredibly important in a 6v6 shooter game like Marvel Rivals. There are also team-up abilities and other mechanics that add additional things to consider when picking the right team. There are three different categories of teams that you can make: Dive, Rush, and Poke teams. Acknowledging each team's strengths and weaknesses is especially important, as a more distance-focused Poke team will not provide the same control as a Rush team.
Yggdrasill Path — Convoy
Best Team Combo For Yggdrasill Path
Yggsdraill Path in the Yggsgard area is a Convoy-style map prioritizing teams for attacking and defense rather than speed. When you're attacking, having a team that sides more towards a Poke or Rush team is helpful, as you need to strategize using tanks, long-range attacks, and good AoE healing.

Marvel Rivals: Every Strategist Character, Ranked From Weakest To Strongest
Strategists are supportive characters in Marvel Rivals whose abilities keep their team in the fight, but some in this role are stronger than others.
For the Defense aspect of the game mode, it is important to be able to manage more of a Dive team, as you'll need a hard-hitting means of distracting opponents from the Convoy.

Royal Palace — Domination
Best Team Combo For Royal Palace
The Yggsard's Royal Palace map is a Domination game mode with plenty of high ground between the three unique locations. Dive teams will be key here, as you'll need a quick-moving team that is shifting between areas quickly. This map also has many choke points, so having a character like Hawkeye on your team can be a great way to hold some of the more pressing points in the Throne Room area. For this map, focusing on having more fast characters like Venom will be key to a good team composition.

Shin-Shibuya — Convergence
Best Team Combo For Shin-Shibuya
Shin-Shibuya is from Tokyo 2099 and is a hybrid Convergence mode map. There are plenty of open spaces and corners, but plenty of areas near the first objective can benefit you. This map requires more of a mixed ability set, predominantly focusing on a 1-3-2, emphasizing Duelist characters and a quick Vanguard character. It is advised that you don't use a Rush team for this map, as there is too much variability in outcomes.

Spider-Islands —Convoy
Best Team Combo For Spider-Islands
Spider-Islands is an interesting map because of the amount of open space, which surely means you'll be up against primarily flying characters. There is no need to capture an objective for this map, but there should be at least two tanks to watch the Convoy itself and keep pushing the front line. If you are on the team's defensive side, be wary of choosing a Rush team, as you'll need the aerial benefits of having a Dive team.

Birnin T'Challa —Domination
Best Team Combo For Birnin T'Challa
Birnin T'Challa is a bit of a mix-up for finding the perfect team comp, as the Domination mode means that it is largely your choice. There are benefits to using several characters in this map if you're good at playing them, like Black Panther, Groot, or even Marvel Rivals' Luna Snow. There are plenty of opportunities to deal with most teams here, as the single objective mode makes choke point sniping and other more fun combat styles successful in Birnin T'Chala.

Hall of Djalia — Convergence
Best Team Combo For Hall of Djalia
Hall of Djalia is not as clear-cut of a map as you might expect, as the battlefield evolves as you venture through it. There is a clear balance to be made here between prioritizing a strong tank and long-range damage characters.

Marvel Rivals: How To Turn Off Mouse Acceleration
A lot of Marvel Rivals players are looking for a way to turn off mouse acceleration in the game, while there isn't an easy option, it is possible.
Typically, a good Rush team that communicates well could easily win if there is good mobility within the team. There are better teams to choose for each side of the convoy that you take, so be sure to play to the entire team's advantage.

Symbiotic Surface — Convergence
Best Team Combo For Symbiotic Surface
Symbiotic Surface is one of the most action-packed maps available in Marvel Rivals. Since it is a Convergence map, there is an assortment of close combat areas and open spaces, so being flanked might be something you should look out for. Because of this, having quick support is the best option for the map and steering clear of a stationary Rush team. Having a fairly adept Captain America could be key to winning this game mode, but do not slack on the defensive side.

Hell's Heaven — Domination
Best Team Combo For Hell's Heaven
Hell's Heaven takes place in the Hydra base, so there is much to consider all the more complicated parts of the game. Since Hell's Heaven is indoors, there aren't as many open areas as some of the other Domination maps.
Since this map is only available for the Domination game mode, having a team with high survivability rather than heavy damage outside the gate makes better sense.
Stick to characters you know well since you'll need to carve out high-damage outputs while staying alive. These are the best teams that have a combination of high output and long-lasting abilities in Marvel Rivals.
