Overview

The Fastball Special is a creative Team-Up that leverages Hulk and The Thing's throwing mechanics to launch Wolverine as a living projectile at enemies. This combo excels at surprise attacks and gap closing, allowing Wolverine to engage vulnerable targets with enhanced momentum and impact. While classified as Tier C, it can catch unprepared teams off-guard and create chaotic teamfight opportunities.

This Team-Up shines in close-quarters brawls where coordination between all three heroes creates devastating burst damage. The key strength lies in combining Wolverine's aggressive playstyle with the raw power of being launched by two heavy hitters, making it effective against clustered enemy positions or isolated targets. However, it requires precise timing and positioning to execute successfully.

Best used as a mid-game tactic when enemies are grouped or when Wolverine needs immediate access to the backline. The combo's unpredictability can disrupt enemy formations, though skilled opponents can predict and counter the incoming assault.

How to activate

1
Position Hulk or The Thing near Wolverine while enemies are within throwing range
2
Use the designated Team-Up ability button to initiate the throw (varies by platform)
3
Wolverine launches toward the target, landing with claws ready to engage for combo damage

Pro Tips

1
Timing is Critical
Activate the combo when enemies are grouped or distracted. Timing it during enemy ults or team engagements maximizes damage output and prevents easy counterplay.
2
Follow-Up Aggression
After Wolverine lands, have Hulk and The Thing push forward immediately to support him. The three-hero engagement can overwhelm isolated targets or smaller enemy clusters.
3
Positioning Before Launch
Ensure Wolverine is not already in combat when launching. Position him safely before initiating the combo to maximize impact and ensure he lands with full HP for maximum threat.

Counters

⚔️
Spider-Man
His mobility and evasion abilities allow him to dodge the incoming Wolverine and punish the predictable trajectory
⚔️
Doctor Strange
Teleportation and protective barriers can negate the combo's impact or redirect Wolverine away from intended targets
⚔️
Black Widow
Long-range stuns and crowd control can interrupt the combo activation or immobilize Wolverine mid-flight

FAQ

Depending on game mechanics, some abilities and crowd control effects may interrupt the throw. Activating during enemy cooldowns increases success rates.
