July 4, 2025 Update — Marvel Rivals

Even heroes need fine-tuning. We have adjusted, buffed, and balanced. See what has changed in Season 3!

Vanguard

Emma Frost

The White Queen loses some damage and durability in Diamond Form, but in return receives a more accessible ultimate.

[LMB] Telepathic Pulse: damage at 99 energy 120/s ⇒ 110/s; at 100 energy 150/s ⇒ 140/s.
[Shift] Diamond Form: damage reduction 30% ⇒ 25%.
[Q] Psionic Seduction (Ultimate Ability): energy cost 3700 ⇒ 3400.

The Thing

IT'S CLOBBERIN' TIME! Smoother movements and a new ability.

[F] Battle Blitz (New Ability): jump towards enemies with 25% reduced damage taken. Range 20 m.
[RMB] Stone Haymaker: now knocks flying enemies hit by the attack into flight.

Venom

The grip has become stickier. Control after diving has been strengthened.

[RMB] Cellular Corrosion: slow 15% ⇒ 25%.

Duelist

Human Torch

Flame on… but watch the heat! Received Team-Up Anchor, but lost some firepower.

[LMB] Fire Cluster: damage per projectile 6 ⇒ 5.5.
[Q] Supernova (Ultimate Ability): shockwave damage 80 ⇒ 75. Fire Tornadoes DoT damage 120/s ⇒ 110/s.
[Passive] Team-Up Anchor: +5% damage dealt.

Iron Man

Tony has been slightly weakened.

[LMB] Repulsor Blast (in Armor Overdrive mode): first two hits 40 / 50 ⇒ 35 / 45.
[Q] Invincible Pulse Cannon (Ultimate Ability): energy cost 2800 ⇒ 3400.

Mister Fantastic

Reed is becoming less annoying in prolonged fights — reducing his "inflated" survivability threshold.

[Passive] Inflated: bonus health 400 ⇒ 350.

Namor

Tridents are sharper, flight is faster.

[LMB] Trident of Neptune: damage 70 ⇒ 75, projectile speed 120 m/s ⇒ 150 m/s.
[RMB] Wrath of the Seven Seas: speed 120 m/s ⇒ 150 m/s.

Scarlet Witch

Rebalancing Wanda's ultimate: less slow, but higher damage peak — Reality Erasure becomes an execution rather than a trap.

[Q] Reality Erasure (Ultimate Ability): maximum slow 35% ⇒ 25%, damage 750 ⇒ 850.

Spider-Man

Lost the old Team-Up Anchor, gained a new one and more damage.

[E] 'Get Over Here!': hit damage 50 ⇒ 55.
[LMB] Spider-Power (in air): damage 50 ⇒ 55.
[F] Amazing Combo: damage 55 ⇒ 60.

The Punisher

Frank was too reliable as artillery — reducing turret damage and increasing the cost of his ultimate.

[E] Culling Turret: damage 12 ⇒ 10. Spell Field: damage 12 ⇒ 10.
[Q] Final Judgement (Ultimate Ability): energy cost 3400 ⇒ 3700.

Winter Soldier

Bucky was pressuring too hard at long range — adding a harsher damage falloff at 40 m.

[F] Roterstern: damage falloff at 40 m 60% ⇒ 70%.

Wolverine

Logan gets a longer-lasting jump, but pays for it with a less frequent Feral Leap rotation — encouraging calculated entries instead of constant diving.

[Shift] Feral Leap: duration 4 sec. ⇒ 5 sec., cooldown 12 sec. ⇒ 15 sec.

Strategist

Invisible Woman

Sue strengthens the attacking phase of Orb Projection and loses in the return phase — encouraging active orb usage rather than safe backline healing.

[LMB] Orb Projection: healing on throw 40 ⇒ 45, damage on throw 20 ⇒ 25; healing on return 40 ⇒ 35, damage on return 20 ⇒ 15.

Loki

The God of Mischief was using clones too often — increasing the ultimate cost so that tricks appear only at the right moment.

[Q] God of Mischief (Ultimate Ability): energy cost 4000 ⇒ 4300.

Mantis

Rebalancing Mantis's healing: base is lower, but healing efficiency grows with sustained flow; the ultimate has become more expensive but provides more bonus health to the team.

[RMB] Healing Flower: base healing 20/s ⇒ 12.5/s, added a bonus of +2.5% to healing efficiency per second.
[Q] Soul Resurgence (Ultimate Ability): energy cost 3700 ⇒ 4300, maximum bonus health 100 ⇒ 150.

Ultron

Ultron becomes more mobile due to accelerated flight, but pays for it with a less durable shield — encouraging active positional play instead of a stationary barrier.

[Shift] Dynamic Flight: cooldown 8 sec. ⇒ 6 sec.
[RMB] Imperative: Firewall: self protection 75 ⇒ 65, ally protection 55 ⇒ 50.

Team-Up Abilities

New team combination. Johnny's fire meets Peter's webbing.

Human Torch (Team-Up Anchor): +5% damage dealt.
Spider-Man: unlocks new ability Inferno Blast.

Primal Flame — Phoenix + Wolverine

New team-up synergy. Phoenix's fire awakens the beast within Logan.

Phoenix (Team-Up Anchor): +10% damage dealt.
Wolverine: unlocks the new ability Phoenix Warrior.

Balancing of Existing Synergies
