MMOEXP Marvel Rivals:Reach the kill limit or have the most eliminations

[Damnmy]

Marvel Rivals continues to surprise players with its inventive game modes, and Giant-Sized Hive Mind is one of the most chaotic and entertaining yet. As part of the Season 2.5 event rotation, this mode is a unique fusion of two fan-favorite limited-time modes—Giant-Sized Brain Blast and Clone Rumble—and it’s already making waves across the Marvel Rivals Bundles community. If you're diving in for the first time or want to maximize your fun (and wins), this guide has everything you need to know.

What Is Giant-Sized Hive Mind?
Giant-Sized Hive Mind is a 6v6 event mode where every team member plays as the same hero, randomly selected before the match begins. However, unlike Clone Rumble where players choose a single hero to clone, Hive Mind randomizes the hero for each team, leading to hilariously mismatched battles like six Groots vs. six Psylockes.

To crank up the absurdity, the mode also brings back the “giant head” visual effect from Brain Blast, making all heroes look cartoonishly top-heavy—it's fun, disorienting, and part of what makes the mode so memorable.

How to Play
Mode Type: Team Deathmatch (TDM)

Map: Ninomaru, Tokyo 2099

Win Condition: Reach the kill limit or have the most eliminations when time runs out

Hero Selection: Randomly chosen for each team before the match starts

Time Limit: Standard match duration (~10 minutes)

Unlike standard matches, there's no payload, no objectives, and no team comp flexibility. Just pure hero-mirror chaos.

Best Strategies for Winning
1. Adapt Quickly
Since you won’t know who you’re playing as until the match starts, being familiar with all heroes helps. Read up on each hero’s kit or spend time in practice mode to reduce surprises.

2. Stay Together
Six of the same hero is powerful—especially if you coordinate. Stack abilities for burst damage or chain team-up skills for devastating effects.

3. Abuse Area Control
If your team gets a zoning-heavy hero (like Storm or Magneto), control chokepoints and force fights in tight areas to capitalize on overlapping AoEs.

4. Exploit the Map
Ninomaru offers verticality and open space. Flyers like Star-Lord or Iron Man have an edge here—use the high ground and mobility to outmaneuver bulkier teams.

5. Manage Ultimate Timing
With everyone sharing the cheap Marvel Rivals Bundles same hero, ultimates become critical. Coordinate team ult usage for maximum pressure, instead of blowing them all at once.
