  • NERFDaredevilSeason 7 - Mar 2026

    Chain Finisher, Tankiness, and Defensive Dash

    • Sonic Pursuit damage reduction reduced from 20% to 10%.

    Official source
  • REWORKEmma FrostSeason 7 - Mar 2026

    Diamond Form thinner, Ultimate shields you mid-cast

    Emma Frost's Diamond Form blocks less damage, but Psionic Seduction loses less damage at long range and now reduces damage taken while channelling, so the ultimate is safer to cast.

    Diamond Form damage reduction cut from 25% to 20%, while Psionic Seduction damage falloff at 30m moved from 50% to 70% and now grants 20% damage reduction while channelling.

    TipYou survive less in Diamond Form, so save it for a real burst window and lean on the ultimate for protection instead.

    Official source
  • REWORKHulkSeason 7 - Mar 2026

    Ultimate Charge Boost & Gamma BurstRMB Rework

    Hulk turns shield damage into ultimate charge faster, and Gamma Burst now has two charges that can be used in quick succession, though each hit deals a little less damage.

    • Gamma Burst now has two charges each with 6 second cooldown (single hit damage reduced from 75 to 65, cooldown between uses reduced to 2 seconds).

    TipYour shield now feeds ultimate faster, so lean into defense to build super. Gamma Burst's charges mean you can burst twice then reset - use this for sustained teamfight presence.

    Official source
  • REWORKInvisible WomanSeason 7 - Mar 2026

    Guardian ShieldRMB heals less in combat, more out of combat

    Invisible Woman's Guardian Shield heals less in a fight, but Covert AdvancePassive heals more out of combat, so topping up between fights is faster.

    Guardian Shield healing reduced from 25 to 15 per second, but out-of-combat healing during Covert Advance increased from 20 to 30 per second.

    TipPlay more defensively - retreat to cover to regain health rather than relying on active healing during fights.

    Official source
  • NERFDeadpoolSeason 7 - Mar 2026

    Mobility reduced across all forms

    Deadpool's Bunny Bounce, Bunny Hop and Healing Hop now have a short cooldown after refreshing, so Deadpool can chain hops less freely in every form.

    • Deadpool's mobility reduced
    • Bunny Bounce (Vanguard), Bunny Hop (Duelist), and Healing Hop (Strategist) now have 0.5s cooldown after successful refresh.

    TipRapid movement combos are no longer possible; play with more deliberate spacing.

    Official source
  • BUFFCaptain AmericaSeason 7 - Mar 2026

    Sentinel StrikeLMB opening hits and melee hit harder

    Captain America's first two Sentinel Strike hits and melee attacks deal more damage.

    The first two hits of Sentinel Strike and his melee attacks increased from 40 to 45 damage.

    Official source
  • NERFDoctor StrangeSeason 7 - Mar 2026

    Shield of the SeraphimRMB value reduced

    Doctor Strange's Shield of the Seraphim has less health, so it breaks sooner under fire.

    TipYour shield is weaker - less forgiving on aggression.

    Official source
  • NERFElsa BloodstoneSeason 7 - Mar 2026

    Defeat penalty and skill bonus health reduced

    Elsa Bloodstone now loses more Instinct stacks when defeated, and Ruthless Pursuit and Helix Advance give less bonus health, so dying costs more and the skills keep Elsa alive less.

    Instinct lost upon defeat from 1 to 2 stacks, Ruthless Pursuit and Helix Advance bonus health from 40 to 30.

    TipYou're punished harder for dying and have less defensive bonuses; play more carefully.

    Official source
  • BUFFEmma FrostSeason 7 - Mar 2026

    Diamond Form returns faster and shields recover quicker

    Emma Frost's Diamond Form comes back sooner and Mind's Aegis recovers faster, so both defensive tools are available more often.

    Diamond Form cooldown reduced from 18s to 15s and Mind's Aegis recovery rate increased from 70/s to 80/s.

    TipYou can commit Diamond Form more often now, so use it to contest space rather than saving it purely to survive.

    Official source
  • REWORKGambitSeason 7 - Mar 2026

    Team ultimate charge down, personal damage up

    TipYour ultimate window closes faster; time your window tight.

    Official source
  • NERFHawkeyeSeason 7 - Mar 2026

    Official source
  • BUFFHuman TorchSeason 7 - Mar 2026

    Official source
  • BUFFLuna SnowSeason 7 - Mar 2026

    Idol Aura cooldown reset on kills

    Luna Snow's Idol Aura now cuts the Ice ArtsSHIFT cooldown whenever a hero with the aura takes part in a KO, so Ice Arts comes back sooner during winning fights.

    Idol Aura gains a new effect: reduces Ice Arts cooldown by 2 seconds whenever a hero with Idol Aura takes part in a KO.

    TipPlay around kill participation to reset your cooldowns - group with your team and capitalize on successful teamfights.

    Official source
  • REWORKMagnetoSeason 7 - Mar 2026

    Bulwark cooldowns split apart, Meteor MQ speeds up

    Magneto's Metal BulwarkE now takes longer to come back while Iron BulwarkF comes back sooner, and Meteor M flies faster, so it is easier to hit.

    • increase Meteor M projectile speed from 30m/s to 45m/s.

  • REWORKScarlet WitchSeason 7 - Mar 2026

    Official source
  • NERFWinter SoldierSeason 7 - Mar 2026

    RotersternLMB area damage reduced

    Winter Soldier's Roterstern Spell Field deals less damage on hit, so its area damage is weaker.

    Roterstern Spell Field damage on hit reduced from 65 to 55.

    TipYour area control is weaker - compensate with tighter positioning and focus on point damage.

    Official source
  • NERFElsa BloodstoneSeason 7 - Mar 2026

    Base health reduced

    Elsa Bloodstone has less base health, so Elsa goes down faster under fire.

16 Mar 2026 › Marvel Rivals Version 20260320 Balance Post

  • 2026/03/17
  • The multiverse is shifting, Rivals! In this update, the pace of Ultimate Abilities is slowing down for everyone, so expect more calculated clashes and less Ult spam moments. Vanguards, Duelists, and Strategists each get their own tweaks to keep the battlefield thrilling but fair. Plus, some iconic Team-Ups are evolving or being retired, paving the way for new combos and cosmic chaos. Let's dive into the details!
  • ADJUSTMENTS

16 Mar 2026 › GLOBAL CHANGES

  • The charge rate for Ultimate Abilities has been nerfed across the board. Our aim is to keep the core combat fun and dynamic, while dialing back those rapid-fire Ultimates. This will also lower the baseline strength of triple-Strategist compositions without compromising the core combat experience.
  • (Based on game data, around 80% of Ultimate Ability Energy comes from damage or healing conversion. That means the charge rate reduction is nearly equal for Vanguards, Duelists, and Strategists at about a 20% drop across the board. This keeps the playing field balanced and ensures your big moves feel earned!)
  • - Vanguards & Duelists:
  • Reduce Damage-to-energy conversion from 90% to 70%.
  • Reduce passive Ultimate Ability Energy regeneration from 12/s to 11/s.
  • - Strategists:
  • Reduce Damage/healing-to-energy conversion from 90% to 75%.

19 Mar 2026 › Cap's Combat Mechanic & Extra Balance 20260320

  • 2026/03/19

19 Mar 2026 › Captain America's Combat Mechanic

  • Captain America's normal attack (Sentinel Strike) chain consists of a 6-hit combo. Hits 1 and 2 remain completely unchanged in this update. However, we know the community has been actively discussing the remaining 4 hits, his ranged shield tosses. Here is a breakdown of the changes:
  • The Old Mechanics (Pre-Patch):
  • Previously, during the 3rd hit, if you entered a sprint immediately after the shield projectile spawned, it would animation-cancel the rest of the throw, allowing you to instantly trigger the 4th hit. However, if you sprint-canceled before the 3rd hit actually struck the enemy, you would lose the third hit's damage because the shield was immediately recalled. (This same issue plagued hits 5 and 6).
  • The New Mechanics (Current Patch):
  • Hits 3, 4, 5, and 6 no longer cancel each other out with sprinting. You can now throw the shield while sprinting, ensuring both Super-Soldier mobility and consistent damage output.
  • From a combat feel perspective, in the new version, we acknowledge that because shield tosses and sprinting now run in parallel rather than canceling each other, there is a slight timing difference. Executing all 4 sprint-throws now takes a fraction of a second longer, a difference of less than 0.3s total. While the old version allowed for frame-perfect execution, it came with a massive caveat: pushing the combo that fast carried a high risk of recalling the shield too early and completely losing your damage output.
  • In the heat of battle, targets are always moving. The old system forced you to wait for the third strike to physically hit the target before you could sprint-cancel into the next throw; otherwise, the damage would drop (the same for hits 5 and 6). The further away the enemy was, the longer you had to wait, making damage drops incredibly common. Only a fraction of mechanically flawless players could hit the absolute maximum attack frequency, and only against relatively stationary targets.
  • With the new system, the moment the shield leaves Cap's hand in each stage, you can immediately sprint without waiting for the impact. Whether you're engaging at close quarters or mid-range, your shield strikes will register reliably. You no longer have to worry about accidentally recalling your shield too early and losing damage. Ultimately, this guarantees consistent offensive pressure while maximizing battlefield mobility.
  • We want every player to feel the true call of liberty.

19 Mar 2026 › Additional Balance Adjustments

  • Based on the latest combat data from the Season Preview server, we are rolling out a few extra balance tweaks.
  • VANGUARD

19 Mar 2026 › Captain America

  • - Increase the Damage dealt by the first two hits of Sentinel Strike and melee attacks from 40 to 45.
  • (Dev Note: Now, when Cap brawls up close, his melee attacks will dish out the same damage as the final four hits of his shield throw combo. By weaving melee strikes with his Leading Dash ability, players can maintain that classic, fluid combo feel without sacrificing close-quarters damage. Plus, paired with our previous tweaks, the Star-Spangled Man with a Plan now boasts much more reliable damage at mid-range too!)

19 Mar 2026 › Emma Frost

  • - Reduce Diamond Form cooldown from 18s to 15s.
  • - Increase Mind's Aegis recovery rate from 70/s to 80/s.

19 Mar 2026 › DUELIST › Black Panther

  • - Spinning Kick New Effect: The dash movement is now omnidirectional. T'Challa is no longer bound to a flat plane!
  • - Increase Spinning Kick Damage from 70 to 75.
  • - Reduce Spear Toss recovery time per charge from 6s to 5s.

19 Mar 2026 › STRATEGIST › Gambit

  • - Reduce Ragin' Royal Flush (Ultimate Ability) effect duration from 10s to 8s.
  • These adjustments will go live in the 20260320 update.
  • Ignite the Battle!

25 Mar 2026 › Marvel Rivals Version 20260326 Balance Post

  • 2026/03/26
  • The multiverse never sleeps, and neither does our balance team! We've got another round of tweaks coming to Marvel Rivals. Wade Wilson has been breaking the physics engine again, our favorite monster hunter is getting a slight reality check, and White Fox is tapping deeper into her mystical Kumiho roots.
  • Let's dive into the patch notes and see how the meta is shifting!

25 Mar 2026 › ADJUSTMENTS › Deadpool

  • Wade's been drinking way too much espresso and breaking the game engine with his parkour. We're putting a tiny leash on his wildest acrobatics, but don't worry, he's still the Merc with a Mouth we all know and love!
  • - Slightly reduced Deadpool's mobility. (We noticed some players using extreme inputs to execute a rapid cycle combo of Kick@$$ Katanas -> Hazardous Hijinks -> Bunny Hop. This change will limit the burst potential of these extreme maneuvers while having almost no impact on players using normal inputs.)
  • - Bunny Bounce (Vanguard), Bunny Hop (Duelist), and Healing Hop (Strategist) now have a 0.5s cooldown after a successful refresh. (Note: Because this cooldown is so short, it will not be displayed on the ability icon.)

25 Mar 2026 › DUELIST › Elsa Bloodstone

  • Elsa is taking a slight hit to her durability, meaning you'll need to rely a bit more on her agility and firepower to survive the hunt!
  • - Reduced base health from 275 to 250.

25 Mar 2026 › STRATEGIST › White Fox

  • Ami Han is bringing the true magic of the Kumiho to the frontline! We're smoothing out her gameplay experience and giving her a boost to her baseline survivability so she can keep her team in the fight longer.
  • - Upon respawning or exiting Kumiho Unleashed (Ultimate Ability), White Fox will now gain full stacks of Spirit Tail energy.
  • - Spectral Surge New Effect: Casting this ability now provides 50 healing to White Fox.
  • - Reduce the One-Time Healing provided by Spirit Sanctuary from 70 to 50.
  • New Effect: While the shield is active, it now provides 20/s Healing Over Time to allies (including White Fox) within the shield's range.
  • - During Kumiho Unleashed (Ultimate Ability), casting Blessed by the Nine no longer consumes White Fox's Health. However, Blessed by the Nine now has a 2s cooldown.

8 Apr 2026 › HEROES

  • 1. Hulk's Healing Hiccup: Fixed an issue where Hulk might fail to recover health if he entered an allied Spawn Room at the exact moment when transforming. Even the Green Goliath needs a proper breather to patch up those gamma-irradiated wounds. Hulk heal good!
  • 2. Jeff's Rodeo Rampage: Addressed a wild glitch where the Jeff Rodeo emote could unexpectedly be triggered in the shared area of the Warrior Falls Spawn Room. This allowed the chaos-causing Jeff to drag enemies back into his Spawn Room for massive damage. Sorry, Jeff, the Avengers say no sharknapping! This emote is now off-limits in that zone.
