When it comes to tanks, aka Vanguards in Marvel Rivals, Hulk is one of the more complicated characters, 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. He’s got great mobility in two of his three forms and can be formidable once you master his playstyle.
So here’s everything you need to know about his abilities and some tips on how to play him effectively.
Hulk overview
As we’ve alluded to already, Hulk has three forms:
- Bruce Banner
- Hero Hulk
- Monster Hulk.
As you go up the transformations, Hulk gets stronger and when you die as Monster Hulk, you’ll just return to Hero Hulk, and then again with Hero Hulk to Bruce Banner.
Bruce Banner weapons & abilities
Bruce Banner is the first, and weakest form of Hulk. As Bruce Banner, you have the most limited amount of abilities with only basic damage skills.

Hero Hulk weapons & abilities

Tips to play Hulk in Marvel Rivals
The most important thing when playing as Hulk is staying alive. Since you essentially have three different lives, keep building your ult so you’ll 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 build 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. Finally, Radioactive Lockdown is a fantastic ability to initiate fights as the time that enemies are trapped gives you the oppertunity to initiate a kill.
