FIX
Season 10 - Sep 2026
Rocket Raccoon's Krakoan Misstep fixed
Rocket's Krakoan Misstep: Fixed an issue where Rocket Raccoon could experience abnormal positioning errors after passing through Krakoan gates while using the Planet X Pals Team-Up. Even a genius trash panda needs his portals calibrated properly. Safe travels, Rocket!
FIX
Season 9.5 - Aug 2026
Abnormal Repair ModeRMB charge refill fixed
Rocket's Repair Mode charges could abnormally refill after using the Planet X Pals Team-Up ability, and no longer do.
If your Repair Mode uptime felt unusually generous after using Planet X Pals, that was the bug paying you. Plan around the normal charge count from here, especially in the fight straight after the Team-Up ability goes off.
BUFF
Season 9 - Jul 2026
Team-Up Synergy Buffs
- Team-Up with Groot: area healing from spore increased from 15 to 20.
- Team-Up with Squirrel Girl: acorn healing increased from 20 to 30.
These team-up synergies are now genuinely impactful - prioritize picking Groot or Squirrel Girl when they're open, especially if your backline needs extra peel.
REWORK
Season 9 - Jul 2026
Ultimate Positioning Nerf and Healing Buff
- Repair ModeRMB healing on orb pass-through increased from 50 to 55.
- C.Y.A.Q energy cost increased from 4000 to 4300 and now decays at 8m, maxing at 60% reduction at 20m.
- Team-Up Anchor bonus 5% Healing Boost removed.
Your ultimate is now a close-range ability - stop trying to pocket from distance and plant yourself with your Vanguards to get full value. Repair Mode becomes your primary scaling tool now.
BUFF
Season 8 - May 2026
Damage and Resource Improvements
- Bombard ModeLMB hit damage increased from 16 to 17 per projectile.
- Repair ModeRMB charges increased from 8 to 10.
- C.Y.A.Q energy cost reduced from 4300 to 4000.
You're back to ult farming territory - spam damage and heals liberally to keep your ultimate rolling, and trust your extra healing charges to stabilize teammates through sustained pressure.
NERF
Season 6 - Jan 2026
Crawl Movement Speed Reduction
Wild CrawlSpace movement speed reduced from 10 to 8 m/s.
You're slower while repositioning - plan your escapes earlier and avoid unnecessary crawls that give enemies time to react.
NERF
Season 5.5 - Dec 2025
Ultimate Energy Cost Increase
C.Y.A.Q energy cost increased from 4000 to 4300.
You'll charge your ultimate slightly slower - focus on landing orb hits and dealing damage to keep the ult farm going.
BUFF
Season 5 - Nov 2025
Cooldown and Projectile Speed Improvements
- B.R.B.E cooldown reduced from 45 to 40 seconds.
- Repair ModeRMB maximum count increased from 5 to 7 and projectile speed increased from 60 to 80 m/s.
- Bombard ModeLMB projectile speed increased from 150 to 180 m/s.
Your guns are faster and you have more healing orbs in circulation - maintain constant pressure and healing coverage across your team, knowing you can refresh threats more frequently.
BUFF
Season 4.5 - Oct 2025
Ultimate Damage Boost Increase
C.Y.A.Q damage boost increased from 25% to 40%.
Your linked Vanguards can now threaten key picks - use ultimate to enable coordinated pushes on priority targets when your team has positioning advantage.
REWORK
Season 2 - May 2025
Healing Reduction and Team-Up Shift
Repair ModeRMB direct hit healing reduced from 55 to 50. Team-Up Anchor bonus changed away from Ammo Overload to Rocket Network.
Your burst healing on direct impacts got a haircut - anticipate incoming enemy spam earlier and position to land more frequent shots rather than relying on reactive top-offs.
REWORK
Season 2 - Apr 2025
Mobility and Ultimate Rebalance
- Repair ModeRMB healing area dropped from 70 to 50 health per second but now heals 55 on direct hit
- projectile speed reduction increased from 4.5 to 7 m/s.
- Jetpack DashSHIFT cooldown increased from 6 to 10 seconds and distance decreased from 10 to 8 meters.
- C.Y.A.Q damage boost reduced from 40% to 25%, but linked allies now receive 100 bonus health per second capping at 150, decaying at 75 per second after breaking the link
- energy cost increased from 3700 to 4000.
You're trading mobility for a pure support ultimate. Stay with your Vanguards to keep the link alive, land direct hits with Repair Mode to maximize healing, and stop trying to dash away - your survival depends on team proximity.
BUFF
Season 1 - Jan 2025
Repair ModeRMB Healing Increase
Repair Mode healing increased from 60 to 70 per second.
You can sustain your team slightly better now. Lean harder into positioning with your Repair Mode when your ultimate charge is low.
