Marvel Rivals patch notes reveal latest hero changes

NetEase has increased the rate at which Accessory Points can be earned. After the reset on Friday, players will be able to earn 15 points per quick match, while practice vs. AI will grant 10 points. In addition, Friday will also bring new Fantastic Four skins, as each member of the superhero team will get the First Steps outfit.

Now, let’s take a look at all the hero changes that arrived with the latest update:

• Human Torch: Johnny is now a Team-Up anchor and gets the ability to launch The Thing and slam him down, dealing damage, launching enemies, and disabling mobility abilities in the zone
• The Thing: Moves faster and can fly thanks to the First Steps Team-Up
• Spider-Man: Fixed a bug where Peter’s selection box could get tangled and display incorrectly when both a Spider-Tracer and Burn-Tracer existed at the same time
• Phoenix: Corrected a minor scaling error in Phoenix’s hero select display. Jean’s presence is now as balanced as the Phoenix Force itself. Fixed an issue where Phoenix’s turning mid-air during her Ultimate Ability was affected by frame rate
• Black Widow: Addressed an issue where if Natasha was launched up during Edge Dancer, it could disrupt the subsequent multi-stage ability logic
• Rocket Raccoon: Fixed a glitch in Rocket’s B.R.B., where, when reviving a teammate, it would sometimes incorrectly display in the top right that it revived two teammates
• Cloak & Dagger: Resolved an unintended crossover where Cloak & Dagger’s Ultimate Ability could be affected by another teammate’s Cloak’s Dark Teleportation (such as a shapeshifted Loki)

This is the second-to-last update in Season 3, as Season 3.5 is set to come out on August 8.
