2025/08/20

Greeting Rivals!

Just a few tweaks to keep the action Marvel-ous. Let's see who's getting powered up, and who's facing the nerf hammer!

Adjustments

Duelist

Blade

  • The Daywalker's resilience just slightly leveled up. Blade's got more staying power for those midnight brawls!
    • Increase Lifesteal gained during Bloodline Awakening from 60% to 65%. Reduce self-healing reduction from 40% to 35%.

Human Torch

  • Johnny Storm's heat is still on, but his flame's been dialed back just enough for ground heroes to catch their breath!
    • Reduce Flame Field (right-click on terrain) Damage Over Time from 25/s to 20/s.
    • Reduce Pyro-Prison Damage Over Time from 50/s to 40/s.

Strategist

Loki

  • The God of Mischief and his illusions are a tad less punishing!
    • Reduce Mystical Missile damage dealt by Loki and his illusions to enemies from 30 to 25. (Healing for teammates remains unchanged.)

The Marvel Rivals universe is ever-evolving, and we have plenty more surprises and updates on the horizon. Stay tuned to our official announcements for more!
