October 10, 2025 Update — Marvel Rivals

The Marvel Rivals universe never stands still! With new buffs, nerfs, and adjustments to Team-Up abilities, the meta is evolving once again. Suit up and see who is rising to the top and who has been pushed down a step!

Vanguard

Angela

Angela receives additional protection: the axes now grant more bonus health to both herself and the allies she rescues.

[E] Divine Judgement: bonus health from Axes of Ichors — against enemies 30 ⇒ 40, against allies 15 ⇒ 20.

Venom

The symbiote no longer just devours enemies—it also blocks their chances of salvation through a severe reduction in healing received.

[Q] Feast of the Abyss (Ultimate Ability): now applies 30% Healing Reduction for 4 sec.

Duelist

Blade

The Daywalker receives a noticeable rotation boost: the long dash and attack speed stacks from Whirlwind Slash turn Eric into a stable combo machine.

[Shift] Daywalker Dash: distance 4.5 m ⇒ 6.5 m.
[E] Bloodline Awakening: attack speed bonus duration 0.7 sec. ⇒ 1 sec. New effect: all 4 hits of Whirlwind Slash grant 1 stack of the attack speed bonus.

Hela

The Goddess of Death receives much-needed insurance during maneuvers—the instant cast and small bonus health make Astral Flock a real survival tool.

[Shift] Astral Flock: cast time reduced. After activation, grants +25 units of bonus health.

Human Torch

Johnny was overheating the field—we are reducing Fire Cluster damage, adding a delay before reloading, and slowing down his maneuvers to give enemies a window for counterattack.

[LMB] Fire Cluster (projectile): damage 5.5 ⇒ 5. New effect: 0.5 sec. delay before ammo replenishment begins.
[Shift] Plasma Body: movement speed 900 ⇒ 850.

Iron Fist

Readjusting Lin Lie against tanks: less base damage, more percentage of max health—Iron Fist becomes a precision anti-Vanguard tool.

[LMB] Yat Jee Chung Kuen: fixed damage 9 ⇒ 8, target max health percentage damage 2.7% ⇒ 3.1%.

Mister Fantastic

Reed receives a real counter-tool against divers—Distended Grip now doesn't just hit, but roots the target for a second.

[RMB] Distended Grip: target receives Immobilize for 1 sec. after application.

Phoenix

Phoenix was too effective without pressure—we are closing her free resources: no more accumulating Sparks from melee, no mid-flight reloading, and a delay has been added before Dark Ascent.

[Passive] Melee: attacks no longer accumulate Sparks charges.
[Passive] Primary Weapon: ammo does not replenish during Dark Ascent.
[E] Dark Ascent: a 1 sec. cooldown has been added before activation.

Psylocke

Psylocke becomes significantly more dangerous in her ultimate: she loses only half of her mobility, but her strikes have become more lethal—Dance of the Butterfly now truly executes.

[Q] Dance of the Butterfly (Ultimate Ability): self-slow 30% ⇒ 15%. Damage per hit 150 ⇒ 170.

Strategist

Cloak & Dagger

Rebalancing the tempo of Eternal Bond—the duo was returning to rotation too quickly.

[Q] Eternal Bond (Ultimate Ability): energy cost 4300 ⇒ 4500.

Jeff the Land Shark

The Land Shark was reacting too poorly to accurate shots—now Jeff is noticeably more vulnerable to snipers.

[Passive] Oblivious Cuteness: crit damage reduction 70% ⇒ 50%.

Rocket Raccoon

Rocket Raccoon receives a significant boost to his team ultimate—now C.Y.A. truly changes the course of battle instead of remaining a modest utility.

[Q] C.Y.A. (Ultimate Ability): damage bonus 25% ⇒ 40%.

Ultron

Ultron is becoming a less autonomous support: healing through Patch has been cut, and Rage of Ultron now requires more methodical energy accumulation.

[E] Imperative: Patch: healing 35 ⇒ 30; bonus for the protected ally 10 ⇒ 5.
[Q] Rage of Ultron (Ultimate Ability): energy cost 3400 ⇒ 3700.

New Team-Up. Daredevil and The Punisher go on the hunt.

New Team-Up. The Goddess of Death and the Lord of the Seas join forces.
