July 10, 2026 Update

Space is constantly expanding, and our balance team is working at full capacity! We are releasing a new massive wave of Marvel Rivals balance changes. Hulk receives adjustments to his power, Doctor Strange strengthens his mystical barriers, and brand-new Regenerative Shields officially enter the game!

Global Changes

Ultimate Energy Balance

To synchronize with this season's massive gameplay changes, we have adjusted the efficiency of ultimate energy generation:

• Vanguards and Duelists: reduction in damage-to-energy conversion from 70% to 55%
• Strategists: reduction in healing-to-energy conversion from 75% to 60%, and damage-to-energy conversion from 75% to 55%

Regenerative Shields

We are officially introducing a new health type — Regenerative Shields:

• Function according to the same logic as base health
• Any mechanic depending on base health (percentage healing, percentage damage) applies identically
• Unique property: if no damage is taken for 5 seconds, shields automatically begin to regenerate, fully recovering over the next 5 seconds
• Regeneration rate: 20% of the shield amount per second (for example, 300 shields regenerate at 60/s, 150 shields at 30/s)
