What changed
The patch introduces two new team-up abilities, tweaks one existing team-up by moving Namor, and removes a single team-up entirely. Details beyond the pairings are currently listed as TBC, with a fuller pre-season launch blog promised.
New team-up abilities
Two new team-up abilities are being added in Season 4.5. Daredevil pairs with The Punisher for the Bestial Hunt team-up, while Hela teams with Namor for Deep Wrath. Exact in-match effects are listed as details to come.
| Team-Up Ability | Heroes | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Bestial Hunt | Punisher, Daredevil | Details TBC |
| Deep Wrath | Hela, Namor | Details TBC |
Adjusted team-up abilities
There’s one adjustment in Season 4.5. Namor has been removed from the Gamma Charge team-up to join Hela for Deep Wrath. That leaves Gamma Charge consisting of just Hulk and Black Panther.

|---|---|---|
| Gamma Charge | Hulk, Black Panther | Namor removed |
Removed team-up abilities
Only one team-up is being removed, echoing the earlier Season 4 reshuffle. Ragnarok Rebirth, which paired Hela and Thor, has been removed. Hela is moved into the new Deep Wrath team-up, while Thor does not receive a replacement team-up at this time.
| Team-Up Ability | Heroes | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Ragnarok Rebirth | Hela, Thor | Removed! |
