Marvel Rivals Balance Update Patch Notes for Version 1.40/1.000.077
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.)
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.
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.
Once another patch is out, expect it here on MP1st.
