Who are the 5 best heroes to duo with Hawkeye in Marvel Rivals?

1) Doctor Strange

Hawkeye, or Clint Barton, is a bow-wielding DPS character in Marvel Rivals. Like Hanzo from Overwatch, his strength lies in the damage that his bows deal when shots are on target. This deadly potential is enhanced when paired with a hero who can create portals for strategic attacks.

Doctor Strange is a great character to pair with Hawkeye. His high health pool and Shield of the Seraphim ability can tank a good chunk of the damage that enemies dish out. However, his most unique ability is the Pentagram of Farallah, which enables him to place portals at various points on the map. This allows for discreet and creative headshots when coordinated with Hawkeye.


2) Black Widow

Hawkeye excels at long-range combat. His wide field of view helps him monitor everything on the map. While pairing him with another long-range hero might seem unbalanced, there's one who complements his skills well.

Black Widow is an excellent long-range character who is adept at sniping. With a longer range and hitscan accuracy, she forms an exceptional duo with Hawkeye. Her team-up ability with him, Supersonic Vision, allows her to utilize Hawkeye's Ultimate effectively, reflecting damage from afterimages back to the enemy.


3) Luna Snow

Despite Hawkeye's offensive output, he's classified as a Duelist, meaning he has a medium health pool. This makes him vulnerable to lethal opponents. Therefore, a support character is crucial to form a balanced team with him.

Luna Snow is an excellent support character for this role. Her Idol Aura can attach to a single ally, who will receive constant healing whenever she heals other teammates. Additionally, her Absolute Zero secondary fire can freeze enemies, immobilizing them temporarily for easier elimination. She can also use her Ultimate to further boost allies' damage.


4) Namor

As a long-range specialist, Hawkeye's focus is always on eliminating enemies from a distance. This can make him susceptible to flanking attacks that could severely damage or kill him. Hence, a character that can protect his immediate area can be of great help.

Namor is one such hero you can use to duo with Hawkeye. While his primary attack with the Trident of Neptune is slow, his Aquatic Dominion turret effectively deals damage to enemies. This turret acts as a secondary defense, alerting unsuspecting players against surprise attacks and aiding in offensive zoning.


5) Bruce Banner/Hulk

Hawkeye's long-range specialization means he can target enemies while evading their line of fire. However, this can also let enemies escape his sight to heal, as he lacks the means to pursue them.

A character capable of chasing down and finishing off enemies makes for an ideal duo with Hawkeye.

Bruce Banner, or Hulk, boasts some of the best movement abilities in the game. Hulk's massive leaps cover large distances effortlessly, and his enormous health pool makes it difficult for enemies to take him down. His focus on close-quarters combat focus balances the team, making him one of the best Vanguards to duo with Hawkeye.
