Thor’s Storm Surge and Lightning Realm work hand-in-hand with Storm’s AoE, amplifying her damage and setting up devastating combos. Thor’s ability to dive into fights with his hammer combos makes him a perfect frontliner for Storm’s ranged assaults.

Their Voltaic Union Team-Up ability takes both heroes to the next level. When the ability is used, Storm’s lightning barrage becomes relentless, while Thor’s agility and attack speed increases, making him even more of a powerhouse in the frontlines.

2) Captain America

If Storm in Marvel Rivals is all about chaos, Rogers brings balance and control. His Freedom Charge boosts movement and health for the whole team, letting Storm position perfectly for her Omega Hurricane. Their Voltaic Union synergy supercharges both heroes — Storm’s lightning strikes hit harder, while Cap’s shield gains an electric edge, shocking enemies on impact.

Cap's shield tosses provide opportunities for Storm to dominate while airborne from a distance. Together, they’re a mix of power and strategy.

3) Iron Fist

For a duo with speed and precision, Iron Fist complements Storm’s area-based chaos. While Storm draws attention while being airborne and with her Ultimate, Iron Fist can dart in and take out isolated/distracted targets with K’un-Lun Kick and Living Chi.

Lin has Harmony recovery, which heals him, so he has durability that Storm doesn't. It's all about timing with these two, with you having to create openings and then exploiting them for quick bursts of damage.

4) Adam Warlock

For a more tactical approach, Adam Warlock is the perfect support for Storm in Marvel Rivals. His Karmic Revival can resurrect Storm if she’s caught out while her Ultimate is charging. On top of this, his Quantum Magic is great for poking enemies at range.

Adam's self-revive holds him in the game long enough to protect Storm whenever things get dicey. His abilities will allow Storm to focus on dealing damage, making them a solid team for sustained battles.

5) Punisher

If you’re looking for a duo that excels in mid-range poke, Punisher is your guy. While Storm creates chaos with her AoE, Punisher can chip away at enemy health bars with his Deliverance shotgun and Culling Turret.

Punisher’s ability to force enemies into unfavorable positions pairs beautifully with Storm’s Ultimate, allowing her to capitalize on panicked, scattered opponents. The duo works best when Punisher plays defensively, letting Storm in Marvel Rivals set up her big plays.

Storm, unlike other Duelists, was initially more centered on controlling the tempo of the game, providing both herself and her teammates with unique power and speed modifiers. However, the mid-season update for Season 1 has buffed the hero, and she now holds the position of being one of the most meta-tier characters in the game. As stated above, though she is extremely formidable, teaming up with fellow players will only make her more effective in-game.
