Hulk is a versatile hero who can dictate the flow of the game by peeling or playing aggressive with his kit. His kit lets him be a playmaker that can deny ults using his exile, his drag, or his bubble. You should always be aware of when an enemy is going to ult as it completely change the flow of a game. Don't let Hulk's low damage fool you, this hero can be lethal in disguise.
Hulk is a hero who does not do a lot of damage, but he makes up for this by having the highest uptime for any tank. Your gameplay loop should be constantly farming ult. Brawl the frontline and harass their backline with your shield out.
You should ideally peel for your team when you can to keep farming ult.


Your bubble gives you ult charge and your right click reduces bubble cooldown by 1 second per enemy hit, so ideally you bubble and then clap for most situations to maximize your ult charge.
Typically try to get as many people as possible in your bubble to have the most odds of having them pop, dive and soft engage their backline to have them pop your bubble.
During a fight, if you know your enemies have ults try to save your bubble or exile to stop the ult, keep in mind exiling an ult gives them back 50% ult charge, so if it's possible try bubbling ults if close enough to your team.
For ults like Star-Lord, Strange, Angela, Scarlet Witch, Iron Man, and Human Torch; try to drag them with your incredible leap which gets higher verticality when you charge the meter.
Turn off Hold to Incredible Leap
Set a second jump bind as scroll wheel so you can bhop.

Once you're in you're ult state you can finally play the game. All your cooldowns are much faster and your clap does about 125dmg two tap 250's. A bread and butter combo with hulk is to hold left click and jump after doing the first punch which will let you do another punch in the air and drag them down, after this you right click and can repeat this over and over. Don't be afraid to ult in a support ult if your team is about to die, you should ideally look for a support to knock out of the support ult and finish them quickly. If you need to escape or follow up a kill you can use the scroll wheel as you're landing from a jump to start bhopping which covers a lot of distance. Another tip is before ulting to use your cooldowns as they refresh once you ult. Despite your immense HP you should not play too aggressive as you are still easy to CC and will also be focused by the enemy team. Use your grab only if you can quickly finish off a kill or near the end of your ult to extend the duration.
Strange is a very good matchup for Hulk as he can stop his ult in numerous ways and can deal direct damage through his shield.
Magneto can also be hit through his shield, and his ult bubbled so it's a very good matchup for Hulk.
Flyers for Hulk are very good if you can punish them with drag, though this is very tricky and you should not be caught overextending. if you cannot reach them with a jump you should jump and stun them to drop them down easily.
Divers like Spider-Man and Magik can be stopped by hulk with a well timed stun, this gives you enough time for your team to focus them once the stun ends, try not to follow them and get caught overextended.
Outside of this Hulk has neutral and situational matchups against most of the cast.
Peni is the biggest Hulk counter, consider switching if your team is not counterpicking her. Her stun will usually stop your momentum and get you killed very easily if you are overextending and can make your ult less valuable.
Bucky's pull is very dangerous as it's earthbound will leave you without a jump. Try to bait out his pull or shield if you see him charging it to not be caught in it's way.
Emma's grab is very difficult to play around so you should always be aware of her diamond forms cooldown, if you see her in diamond form play around her or use shield to bait a grab.
Wolverine will shred you so if you find yourself being grabbed by him quickly stun him to get out safely, or ideally use your bubble as he will deal small amounts of damage to it.
Thing can also earthbound you so you should be careful of his slam.
Hulk can exile Strange Portal, look to stop this in Overtime if you can help it.
Hulk exile cannot be cleansed.
Hulk exile removes the hitbox of whoever is stunned meaning they cannot be healed, damaged and cannot touch point. Use this if someone like Captain America is stalling point during OT.
Hulk exile can make Rocket, Jeff, and Wolverine fall out of their teamups when being carried if whoever is carrying them is stunned or if they are stunned.
Hulk's Ult Grab can extend his ult duration if used at the end.
Hulk's Ult Grab removes the hitbox of whoever is being grabbed during the animation. Keep this in mind as your teammates cannot help you kill whoever you are grabbing
Hulk's Ult Grab makes him CC immune, use this to avoid Jeff Ult's or other forms of CC if you see them using it.
Hulk's Ult transformation and ending transformation make him immune during the animation, use this to escape things like Jeff Ult or Ult's like Iron Man.
Hulk's Bubble blocks any healing or aoe ability from going around it, so use this to block heals behind an unaware tank or to single out somebody during Luna Ult, another example is Strange Ult not hitting whoever is behind your bubble even if they are not.
Hulk's bubble can stop jeff ult completely if you stand in the middle of it.
