5 best heroes to team-up with Peni Parker in Marvel Rivals 

Peni Parker in Marvel Rivals is a niche Vanguard pick due to her ability kit which allows players to anchor map locations with explosive mines. Her primary weapon is great for keeping opponents at bay as it can shoot out continuously with an acceptable fire rate. Since the hero does not need to reload, you can spam bullets and dish out damage on anyone in the visible range.

Peni Parker in Marvel Rivals cannot survive in all situations due to the lack of defensive abilities. Although she can web sling in a limited area, it is not enough to completely reposition the Vanguard hero around the map. This is why a dependable Duelist is great to have around Peni as they can capitalize on the damage dealt by the tank to secure kills.

5 best heroes you can use to team-up with Peni Parker in Marvel Rivals

Fans can use this list to pick some of the best heroes to duo with Peni Parker in Marvel Rivals:

1) Venom

Peni Parker excels at zoning enemies, meaning she can be a great choice for stopping the enemy's progress right at the tracks. This means any character that can assist her in tasks will be a great choice.

One of the new things Rivals introduces to the shooter formula is team-up abilities, where heroes can get additional abilities if they team up with two specific characters in their team. For Peni, it is Venom.

If Venom is also part of the team, Peni Parker gains the ability to control a part of the former's symbiote. Meaning she can activate an Armor Expulsion ability. Which converts Venom's symbiote into explosive spikes that harm nearby enemies, providing a strong attack that can push back enemies on contact, while dealing additional damage.

2) Luna Snow

A tank can be considered the lynchpin of the team. The fact that they have the highest amount of health gives them the ability to absorb more damage while dealing some to their enemies. They will be the last bastion of resistance against the enemy and their objectives. Thus, a supporting character should follow one tank to keep their health topped off.

Luna Snow is a great support hero who can duo with Peni Parker, considering she can dish out good damage while healing you with the same ammo. This allows her to help Peni with the zone defense and also aid her with healing. Snow can also attach her Idol Aura to Peni, which will heal Parker when Snow manages to heal other allies, killing two birds with one stone.

3) Mantis

Mantis is another great support who can be an effective partner to Peni Parker. Mantis is great at empowering her allies by providing them with various buffs. She also has great passives, allowing her to stay on the ground for more time, thanks to her movement boost and self-healing.

Mantis can consume orbs to provide one ally a damage boost, further increasing the firepower of Peni. She also can use those same life orbs to provide you healing over time, preventing the need for constant line-of-sight to heal players. Her ultimate allows her to provide healing to all her surrounding allies at once, while also offering a movement boost.

4) Iron Man

While Peni Parker is great for defensive options, due to her ability to hold enemies at bay for a long time with her concealed arachno mines, she can easily be countered by a high-flying character with air mobility. As such, it can be a great option to introduce a superhero with flying powers to duo with her.

Iron Man can make a great duo with Peni Parker. His high aero-mobility can allow him to reach high-flying enemies and shoot them down with less resistance. Tony Stark can also be a great defensive zoner, dishing out incredible damage over a short period thanks to his state-of-the-art technology.

5) Star-Lord

Star-Lord is another great duelist in Marvel Rivals who has good aero-mobility. His Rocket Propulsion boosters can allow him to reach across points of interest relatively quickly. He also can use his dual elemental guns to deal a good chunk of damage to enemies in a short amount of time.

What makes Star-Lord a good duo with Peni Parker is his ability to deal damage to enemies at close range. He can use his blaster barrage ability to fire a frenzy of bullets, making him a great threat at close ranges, which can help Parker aid in her zoning responsibilities.

Peni Parker in Marvel Rivals performs well as the secondary Vanguard in most team compositions. This means that you would need to stay around the frontlines while fighting and deploy your mines around different routes to block pathways for the opponent team. Alternatively, you can also initiate flanks or team fights with your ultimate ability while contesting the match objective. Securing even a single kill with the ultimate can provide the team with a huge advantage and eventually force the enemy team to retreat.

Peni Parker is ideal for maps and locations that have several choke points and less number of entry points. This makes it easier for you to place mines and create an almost impossible arena for opponents to enter without taking lethal damage.
