Whoever you choose and the characters you combine together matter more than you may presume.

Still, some missions thrive on survivability or agility to make it through to the end.

So, how, then, do you decide which characters to add to your team?

Best Teams & Combos in Mario + Rabbids: Sparks of Hope

Horde Team & Combo

At some points during your playthrough, youll run into hordes of enemies.

Each one may have weaker strength.

However, when combined, they can be a force to be reckoned with.

Princess Peach (Protector)
Mario (All-rounder)
Rabbid Mario (Brawler)

So, you want to anticipate their capability by preparing a team that covers all bases beforehand.

Princess Peach will provide effective protective cover by placing a shield barrier on allies to withstand enemy attack.

When cornered, she uses her shotgun, which is fitting for its close-range power.

Luigi (Sneak Attacker)
Rabbid Mario (Brawler)
Rabbid Peach (Combat healer)

Meanwhile, Mario and Rabbid Mario unleash hell on enemies.

Mario can attack from afar, thanks to a decent repertoire of AoE attacks.

He moves pretty fast from danger, using jumps and dashes.

Rabbid Rosalina (Demotivator)
Rabbid Luigi (Pest)
Edge (Blade Master)

On the other hand, Rabbid Mario focuses on close-quarters attacks and counters enemy advances with ease.

Luigi is a sniper whose skills exceed everyone elses.

He protects Rabbid Mario as he unleashes spread attacks on enemies at close range.

Bowser (Overseer)
Rabbid Peach (Combat Healer)
Rabbid Mario (Brawler)

Meanwhile, Rabbid Peach works toward healing and defending Luigi and Rabbid Mario as they work their magic.

All three are straightforward and available right after the tutorial.

So, they can provide the perfect stepping stone for beginners looking to curate a balanced build.

Mario (All-rounder)
Bowser (Overseer)
Princess Peach (Protector)

Fortunately, you have Rabbid Rosalina, Rabbid Luigi, and Edge coming in for the rescue.

Defense-based Team & Combo

A good defense can be a great offensive strategy.

Bowser is your heavy hitter, going in with explosives and unleashing devastating AoE damage.

He has a high HP to help withstand attacks.

But Rabbid Peach isnt defenseless.

She can protect herself thanks to powerful ranged attacks and movement skills.

Lastly, Rabbid Mario boosts the team with equally high HP.

He easily performs close-range hits and counterattacks.

Boss Battle Team & Combo

Boss battles are tricky.

Preparing beforehand is not a debate.

Youll need a ranged fighter who can weave in and out of the battle arena with ease.

He has swift movement thanks to performing jumps and dashes.

For this, Bowser fits the job description perfectly.

He can unleash heavy, explosive attacks that destroy everything in their way.

Bowser causes environmental destruction, which can come in handy when clearing out the dead weight.

Both Mario and Bowser will work great alongside a healer like Princess Peach.

You need her to sustain the battle for longer, using her healing capabilities to help withstand damage.

But Princess Peach can also protect herself with her shotgun blast weapon.
