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 joining six to seven weeks later.

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," further enhance gameplay.

Significant balance adjustments are also in store. Hela and Hawkeye, deemed overpowered in Season 0, receive nerfs. Conversely, mobility-focused Vanguards like Captain America and Venom get buffs to improve their effectiveness. Wolverine and Storm also receive buffs to encourage strategic utilization, while Cloak and Dagger receive adjustments to improve their team synergy. Jeff the Land Shark's ultimate ability will see minor adjustments to better align its hitbox with its warning indicators. While no major changes to Jeff's ultimate are announced, the developers acknowledge player feedback regarding its power level.

While NetEase Games remains silent on potential changes to the Seasonal Bonus feature, the update promises a season brimming with fresh content and balance improvements, generating considerable player anticipation.
