How to Play Hulk: Combos and Tactics
First things first, it is recommended to adjust a specific setting for smoother gameplay:
- Go to Settings.
- Choose the Keyboard tab and go to the Combat page.
- Click All Heroes on top and pick Bruce Banner as your hero.
- Find Hold to Activate Incredible Leap and turn it OFF.
Why do this? Because now you don’t have to hold the spacebar to charge your jump. Just tap space to start charging, then tap space again to jump. This way, you can still punch people while charging up your leap.
Hulk is pretty easy to pick up but hard to master. His melee attacks don’t require precise aiming, and you have tons of health, so mistakes won’t kill you right away. But playing him well is more about being smart. It requires more strategy than having good skills.
When you start a match as Bruce Banner, immediately transform into the Hulk. There’s no advantage to staying as weak Banner. As Hulk, your job is to leap into the fights and go after the enemy healers first. Those guys keep their whole team alive, so take them out. Then, if the enemy has flying heroes like Iron Man, Human Torch, Ultron, or Storm, they’re your second target. Always focus on the Strategists first, but when you get a chance, jump up and knock those flying guys down.
Remember not to waste your Indestructible Guard shield. Save it for important moments when enemies use their ultimate or deadly combos. This ability will also protect your nearby teammates, so if your healer is in trouble, you can leap back and shield them.
When you activate Monster Hulk, your mission is simple: SMASH. Go all-in with aggressive damage, hit everything that moves, and cause as much chaos as possible. However, if the fight becomes overwhelming, quickly leap back toward your team. You never want to revert to Bruce Banner in the middle of enemy territory.
Best Combos for Hulk
Here are the best teammates to pair with Hulk:
| Hero | Synergy with Hulk |
|---|---|
 Doctor Strange | • He’s another tank who can protect the team while you dive in. |
 Namor | • Team-Up makes gamma-powered minions that hit super hard. |
 Wolverine | • You can throw him at enemies with Team-Up. • Great for diving together. |
 Luna Snow | • She heals you even from far away and can quickly top off your huge health bar. |
 Ultron | • Puts a healing drone on you that keeps you healthy while you fight. • Can also help you dive. |
