February 13, 2026 Update — Marvel Rivals

The Marvel Rivals Multiverse continues to evolve. Some receive a power surge, others face a reality check, and strategic shake-ups are already on the way! Who takes center stage, and who will feel the nerf bat? Let's break it down!

Vanguard

Doctor Strange

The regeneration rate of Shield of the Seraphim was slightly too high — we are reducing the tempo so that pressure on the shield carries real meaning.

[RMB] Shield of the Seraphim: shield regeneration rate 70/s ⇒ 60/s.

Rogue

Rogue receives a base buff: improved conversion of defense into energy and more frequent Fatal Attraction — encouraging active gameplay by absorbing the powers of others.

[RMB] Defensive Stance: conversion of absorbed damage into energy 0.27 ⇒ 0.35.
[Shift] Fatal Attraction: cooldown 17 sec. ⇒ 14 sec.

Thor

Thor trades the temporary health boost from Storm Surge for a consistent mini-shield from Hammer Throw — providing more threat during ranged throws, but less survivability during mindless dives.

[Shift] Hammer Throw: new effect — upon hit, grants +50 bonus health (triggers once per throw).
[RMB] Storm Surge: bonus health 75 ⇒ 50.

Venom

The symbiote becomes more reliable: slightly higher base health and significantly better damage-to-bonus health conversion via ultimate.

[Stats] Base Health: 650 ⇒ 675.
[Q] Feast of the Abyss (Ultimate Ability): damage to bonus health conversion 1 ⇒ 1.3.

Duelist

Deadpool

Wade receives a minor boost to Pop Quiz! — correct answers now heal significantly more, encouraging active play with the quiz.

[Q] Pop Quiz! (Ultimate Ability): healing 30 ⇒ 35 and 60 ⇒ 70 upon successful completion.

Moon Knight

Moon Knight was gaining bonus maximum health too safely through Moon Blade — we are lowering the ceiling so he does not turn into a semi-Vanguard.

[RMB] Moon Blade: bonus max. health 100 ⇒ 75.

Phoenix

Phoenix will no longer feel like a "duelist-tank" — we are adjusting her base health to the standard mark.

[Stats] Base Health: 275 ⇒ 250.

Psylocke

Psylocke becomes slightly weaker at long range and during her ultimate — her dominance in the mid-range meta will decrease.

[LMB] Psionic Crossbow: max. falloff at 30 m 60% ⇒ 70%.
[Q] Dance of the Butterfly (Ultimate): damage per hit 170 ⇒ 160.

Squirrel Girl

Doreen's projectiles now travel noticeably faster — Squirrel Blockade ceases to be a lottery and becomes a reliable net trap.

[RMB] Squirrel Blockade (no charge): projectile speed 20 m/s ⇒ 30 m/s.

Star-Lord

Peter receives a slightly more accessible ultimate — Galactic Legend returns to the rotation more frequently and enters the fray more actively.

[Q] Galactic Legend (Ultimate Ability): energy cost 3400 ⇒ 3100.

Storm

Storm receives a significant buff: both of her modes have become more useful, ally buffs no longer expire instantly, and Storm herself recovers faster after casting — encouraging an active playstyle.

[Shift] Weather Control — Tornado: new effect — Wind Blade and Bolt Rush grant bonus health (25% damage conversion, max 75).
[Shift] Weather Control — Thunder: new effect — Wind Blade reduces the CD of Bolt Rush by 0.5 sec. (once per cast); Spell Field radius 1 m ⇒ 1.5 m. Ally damage bonus 12% ⇒ 8%.
Thunder & Lightning: new effect — ally buffs fade over 2 sec. instead of disappearing instantly.
Reduced delay after the Weather Control animation.

The Punisher

The Punisher gains access to Final Judgement faster — Frank's quarantine position in the team finally feels justified.

[Q] Final Judgement (Ultimate Ability): energy cost 3700 ⇒ 3400.

Wolverine

Logan receives a significantly more accessible Last Stand — this is a vital investment in his aggressive playstyle through ultimate rotations.

[Q] Last Stand (Ultimate Ability): energy cost 3400 ⇒ 2800.

Strategists

Adam Warlock

Adam gains mobility through a new flight and combat versatility — Soul Bond now allows attacking and hovering in the air during the cast.

[Passive] New ability: flight at a speed of 10 m/s for up to 4 sec. at full energy (full cooldown is 15 sec.).
[Shift] Soul Bond: new effect — it is possible to hover and attack while active.

Invisible Woman

Sue used Force Physics too frequently as a universal knockback — increasing the cooldown so that every cast is meaningful.

[E] Force Physics: cooldown 8 sec. ⇒ 10 sec.

Loki

The God of Lies has been firing continuously for too long — the reduction in Mystical Missile charges will force Loki to manage his magazine and choose targets more precisely.

[LMB] Mystical Missile: number of charges 12 ⇒ 10.

Ultron

Ultron receives a beneficial boost to the Imperative: Patch radius, providing more flexibility in positioning support drones.

[E] Imperative: Patch: drone detachment range 30 m ⇒ 35 m.

Team-Up Abilities

Psionic Mayhem — Invisible Woman + Doctor Strange

A new team-up combination.

Doctor Strange: unlocks a new ability Psionic Vortex.

Changes to existing synergies

A number of team abilities have been revised or removed.

Fantastic Four: synergy has been completely removed.
Mr. Pool's Interdimensional Toy Box: Elsa Bloodstone receives a new ability Bloodstone's Boombox Bullets.
Gamma Charge: The Thing receives a new ability Gamma Gauntlets.
Rocket Network: Mister Fantastic receives a new ability Fantastic Amplifier.
