Marvel Rivals Announces Balancing Changes in Season 1

Marvel Rivals Season 1: Dracula, Fantastic Four, and Balance Adjustments

NetEase Games' developer update reveals exciting changes for Marvel Rivals' Season 1: Eternal Night Falls, launching January 10th at 1 AM PST. This season introduces Dracula as the primary antagonist and welcomes the Fantastic Four to the roster. Mister Fantastic and the Invisible Woman arrive at launch, with Human Torch and The Thing following in six to seven weeks.

The Season 1 battle pass, priced at 990 Lattice (approximately $10), offers 10 skins and rewards players with 600 Lattice and 600 Units upon completion. Three new maps and a new game mode, "Doom Match," will also debut.

Significant balance adjustments are planned. Hela and Hawkeye, deemed overpowered in Season 0, will receive nerfs. Conversely, mobility-focused Vanguards like Captain America and Venom will receive buffs to enhance their effectiveness. Wolverine and Storm will also see buffs, encouraging diverse strategic play. Cloak and Dagger will receive boosts to improve their team compatibility. Adjustments are also coming to Jeff the Land Shark, addressing inconsistencies between his early warning and ultimate hitbox. While his ultimate's power has been a point of discussion, NetEase Games hasn't detailed specific changes.

The developer update remained silent on adjustments to the Seasonal Bonus feature, a point of contention among players. Season 1 promises a wealth of new content and balance refinements, generating significant player anticipation.
