Hulk is a powerhouse, so it's time to build him like one.

While Marvel's Avengers Hulk is nerfed for the sake of fair gameplay, it doesn't mean his builds are weak. Here are some of the best builds that bring the best out of the Hulk.

 

5. World-Breaker Hulk Build

World-Breaker Hulk is considered the strongest version of the Hulk. With his massive power already 10x strong while retaining a bit of Bruce Banner’s intelligence, World-Breaker Hulk would go onto, well, breaking worlds.

While it’s practically impossible to replicate that Hulk’s incredible power in Marvel’s Avengers, we can still build our Hulk to imitate a fraction of that power. This Hulk build will be primarily Melee and Heroic heavy, so be ready to do some serious damage.

Starting off with the melee gear is an exotic piece called Worldbreaker’s Infusion, which makes sense since this is World-Breaker Hulk we’re trying to build here.  The second piece, range, will focus on dealing Gamma damage, so you must have the Gamma Nanomachines perk. The stats must also have high Proficiency, Valor, and Might.

The defensive gear piece will be another exotic belonging to the Worldbreaker set, Worldbreaker’s Alloy. The last gear piece will be another exotic gear called Stimulator of the Storm.

For your artifacts, your two Minor Artifacts should be a Red ISO-8 for Melee and Yellow ISO-8 for Heroic. Lastly, your Major Artifact should be the Sacred Norn Stone of Lethal Will, to be able to use that for damage boosts.

For your skills in the Specialty tree, make sure to have Boneshaker Regeneration, Savage Heroism, Irradiated Destruction, Barbaric Charge, Ground Zero, and Thunderclap Heroic Recovery active.

In the Mastery tree, have Vice Grip, Hard Swings, Heroic Takedown Mastery, Bedrock, Ranged Damage, Excavator, Raging Heroics, Enhanced Damage, Maximum Rage, Chance Boost, Damage Boost, and Hot Head active.

What this build is good for:

  • High melee damage
  • High Heroic damage
  • Tank Hulk

4. Maestro Hulk Build

In an alternate future where humanity is on the brink of extinction due to nuclear war, the Hulk becomes the ruler of that dystopian future. Calling himself the Maestro, he rules the world with an iron fist through fear and intimidation.

In Marvel’s Avengers, the Future Imperfect storyline is adapted into the game. Clint Barton himself fights Maestro as he searches for Nick Fury, hoping to stop the inevitable Kree Invasion that will destroy the world.

Fans of Maestro can purchase his outfit in the online marketplace, making their Hulk look the part. But why stop there? Fans have also created a Maestro Hulk build that focuses on using his heroics to its maximum potential.

In looking for gear, we’ll be needing high Valor and Resolve. Keep that in mind when grinding for the appropriate gear.

For your melee gear, you’ll need the Boneshaker’s Boon perk. In the range gear slot, there’s no need for any specific perk, just high Valor and Resolve. However, its preferable if you can get a Targeted Buff perk, just so you can have a Damage Buff perk.

Same goes for your defensive gear. Only have high Resolve and Valor gear, but if you have a Damage Buff perk, let’s say Reactive Buff or Reflexive Buff, then use that. For your heroic gear, use the Planet Cracker Neuronics, which is a legendary gear piece that belongs to a set.

For your artifacts, since this is a Valor build, use 2 Yellow ISO-8’s to get higher Heroic damage for your Minor Artifacts. The Major Artifact you should use should be the Ring of the Nibelung, as activating the artifact will trigger Heroic Orbs and other droppable items to pop out from the artifact.

For the Specialty skills, make sure Rampaging Boneshaker, Savage Heroism, Heroic Destruction, Destructive Health or Double Strangle, and Epicenter or Fault Line active.

For your Mastery skills, you can freely choose what skills you want active as there’s no necessary skills needed to be active.

What this build is good for:

  • High Heroic damage
  • High health
  • Infinite Heroics

Build Details:

3. Hulk Building Battery Effect Build

The battery effect is an impressive status effect that players should take advantage of. The gist of the battery effect is that enemies struck with a positive status effect (Cosmic, Plasma, Particle, and Vibranium) or with a negative effect (Cryo, Gamma, Shock, and Sonic) are turned into batteries. When said enemies are struck with either a positive or negative effect, the status damage increases.

Hulk is one of the heroes that are easily able to inflict the battery effect on enemies. Taking advantage of his AoE damages, any enemy near the Hulk will be deleted in seconds.

This build is primarily melee and Heroic, so your gear should primarily have high Might and Valor stats. Starting off with your melee gear, you should have the Heavyweight Buff as your damage buff perk, and the Pym Infuser status effect, which is a positive battery effect. Then your range gear will be your negative status effect. You should have the Targeted Buff for another damage buff perk, and the Plasma Infuser, which will act as your negative battery status effect.

For your defensive and heroic gear, you will need two exotics. The Hivemind Component for defensive gear and Worldbreaker’s Neuronics for heroic. The perks are all set as they are exotics, meaning they are not randomized. However, you will still need high Might and Valor.

For your artifacts, your Major Artifact can be any of your choosing, as it’s not important. But do make sure you have two Red ISO-8’s as your Minor Artifacts as this is a melee build.

There are only a few select skills in both Specialty and Mastery that are vital for this build. For your Specialty tree, you must have Irradiated Destruction and Ground Zero active. For Mastery, you will need Excavator, Enhanced Damage, and Status Boost. Once you have those skills active, you are free to choose the other skills you want.

What this build is good for:

  • High melee damage
  • High battery status damage
  • High AoE damage

Build Details:

Gear

  • Melee gear with Heavyweight Buff and Pym Infuser perks with high Might and Valor stats
  • Range gear with Targeted Buff and Plasma Infuser perks with high Might and Valor stats

2. Unstoppable Hulk Build

The Discordant Sound raid pushes players to their limits, making them fight harder and build their characters to last longer while also dealing damage. Luckily, Hulk builds are always available straight away, seeing as he is a powerhouse in dealing AoE damage.

Bear in mind that the build requires raid gear, so you will have to run through the raid multiple times in order to get the required gear, perks, and stats in order to complete the build, as well as having Sonic status effect.

For gear, you need to focus on Might, Resolve, Valor, and Resilience, as this is a tank build. You will need a tank for this raid, and what better tank there is than Hulk?

Melee gear should have high Might and Resilience. Perk wise, you need Faultless Buff, which grants a damage buff when doing critical attacks. Then the Powerful Scream perk for your status damage and Rage Breaker. For your range gear, you’ll need the Discordant Myofibril exotic, which is a raid exotic gear. Make sure to roll it with high Might or Resilience, but Valor is also good for extra Heroic damage.

For your defensive gear, you’ll need to focus on getting the Reactive Protection perk, followed by high Resolve, Valor, and Might stats. Lastly, you will need the Discordant Neuronics exotic.

Artifacts should focus on dealing damage, as well as keeping Hulk alive. With that, you should have the ISO-8 of Cosmic Affinity and Orange ISO-8 for Resolve. For your Major Artifact, since we are going for more damage, you should have the Sacred Norn Stone of Lethal Will.

For your Specialty skill tree, have Rampaging Boneshaker, Savage Heroism, Irradiated Destruction, Barbaric Charge or Double Strangle, Ground Zero or Epicenter, and Thunderclap Heroic Recovery active.

For the Mastery skill tree, the important ones to have active are Rubble, Meteor Damage, and Metoric. The rest of the skills are free for you to choose as long as you have the three aforementioned skills active.

1. Max Power Hulk Build

With the introduction of the Discordant Sound raid, the gear level as been increase from 150 to 175, and the only way to get it to 175 is by playing through the raid. Yes, it’s a shame that there’s no way to level up your gear without playing through the raid, but playing through the raid offers vast awards that can improve character builds.

The Max Power Hulk build is designed with exotic raid gear in mind, as the raid gear allows Hulk to do over millions of DPS damage. This build also focuses on the emphasis on Melee damage.

The gear you need are all primarily exotics from the raid. You need Discordant Infusion (Elite) as your melee gear, Discordant Myofibril as your range, Discordant Alloy (Elite) for defensive, and Discordant Neuoronics (Elite) for Heroic.

You may notice the Elite tag for some of the gear, that’s because they can only be obtained in the Elite version of the raid.

For artifacts, you’ll need to have two Red ISO-8 Minor Artifacts, as this is a melee build. For your Major Artifact, you need the Tactigon.

Your Specialty skill tree should have Rampaging Boneshaker, Savage Heroism, Irradiated Destruction, Double Strangle, Epicenter or Ground Zero, and Thunderclap Heroic Recovery active.

For Mastery, you’ll need to have the Efficiency Specialization and Damage Specialization unlocked in order to fully use the build properly.

All other skills can be of your own choosing.
