Exciting news for fans of Marvel Rivals! NetEase Games has dropped a fresh balance update that fine-tunes several characters and Team-Up Abilities, aiming to shake up strategies in this multiverse shooter.
Major Character Adjustments
Players will notice significant changes to some of their favorite heroes. Thor’s Awakening Rune now offers a tactical edge with the ability to manually cancel the Awakened state after a short delay. Meanwhile, Moon Knight gets a survivability boost with base health bumped from 250 to 275, making this Duelist a tougher contender in battles.
Star-Lord’s Element Guns have been tweaked for better mid-range combat, with damage falloff adjusted from 60% to 65% at 25 meters. On the flip side, Storm’s Ultimate Ability, Omega Hurricane, now costs more energy—up from 3100 to 3400—to curb its frequent use in matches.
Team-Up Abilities Get a Revamp
Team-Up skills, a core mechanic in Marvel Rivals, also see some balancing. Chilling Assault (Luna Snow-Hawkeye) has reduced damage and a shorter stun duration, while its Spell Field Damage range has been narrowed. Jeff-nado (Storm-Jeff the Land Shark) increases devour time from 1.2 to 1.5 seconds for a fairer fight.
Lastly, Rocket Network (Rocket Raccoon-Peni Parker) ups the cooldown for Armored Spider-Nest from 20 to 30 seconds, dialing back its coverage. These tweaks could shift how players approach team synergies.
What’s the Impact on Gameplay?
These changes might push players to rethink their go-to picks and combos. Will Thor become a more flexible Vanguard? Can Moon Knight tank more hits now? Share your thoughts, and for full details, check the official site at Marvel Rivals News.
