The quick answer

Marvel Rivals uses Team-Up abilities that depend on hero combinations. Official balance posts explicitly describe Team-Ups evolving or being retired, so an older screenshot is not enough to establish an active pairing.[1][2]

Understand the distinction

Before a match, check which hero anchors or participates in the selected combination and read the granted effect. This page intentionally avoids naming a permanent best duo from a seasonal roster.[1][2]

Suggested checklist

  1. Open the current Team-Up information for the heroes your party wants to use.[1][2]
  2. Identify which effect becomes available and which player actually activates or receives it.[1][2]
  3. Recheck the pairing after a balance update before interpreting a missing effect as a bug.[1][2]

Limits and next steps

The March balance post is evidence that pairings change, not a current list of every active Team-Up.[1][2]
