In Short
  • Marvel Rivals Season 7 will nerf the Ultimate energy gain rates for all heroes by 20%.
  • More targeted nerfs will be deployed for the likes of Winter Soldier, Elsa Bloodstone, and Vanguard Deadpool.
  • The heroes receiving buffs include Blade, Scarlet Witch, and Hulk.

With the release of Marvel Rivals Season 7 on the horizon, Netease has confirmed a wide range of buffs and nerfs to various heroes that will drastically reshape the meta. The devs made sure to highlight that they’ve been listening to user feedback and will change the general flow of gameplay accordingly. They also hinted at the reduction of crowd control effects in Season 7.5, which exemplifies how crucial these changes are.

With all that being said, here’s a look at all the hero nerfs and buffs coming to Marvel Rivals Season 7.

Before we get into the adjustments, it’s important to note that the full patch notes carrying all nerfs and buffs are yet to be released. However, the devs have confirmed which heroes will be affected as part of the Marvel Rivals Season 7 early patch notes, and you can check them out below:

  • Hulk
  • Blade
  • Black Panther
  • Duelist Deadpool
  • Iron Man
  • Scarlet Witch
  • Luna Snow

It looks like Netease is finally delivering highly requested buffs to heroes such as Blade, Black Panther, and Scarlet Witch. DPS Deadpool, which is easily the weakest version of the character, is also receiving a boost to make the Merc more effective.

On the flip side of the coin, here are the heroes that will be nerfed in Marvel Rivals Season 7:

  • Winter Soldier
  • Elsa Bloodstone
  • Doctor Strange
  • Vanguard Deadpool
  • Gambit

Winter Soldier, who has remained at the top of the power curve for months, is finally descending down the ladder. The same goes for Elsa Bloodstone and Vanguard Deadpool. Gambit’s nerfs are largely focused on his Ultimate, so the rest of his kit should be just as effective.

Marvel Rivals Season 7 Ultimate Ability Nerfs Explained

To reduce the reliance on and constant spamming of Ultimate abilities, Netease is reducing the overall energy gain rates by 20% for all heroes. This means that it’ll take longer to charge up the Ultimate abilities for all heroes, both through combat and passive regeneration.

While every role will receive a 20% overall reduction, the tuning for these decreases will be slightly different depending on the character. For Vanguards and Duelists, damage to energy conversion will be reduced more, while passive energy regen will be reduced less. For Strategists, damage and healing to energy conversion will be reduced less while passive energy regen will be reduced more.

All Team-Up Abilities in Marvel Rivals Season 7

Season 7 also brings changes to the Marvel Rivals team-ups list. Two new team-ups are joining the battlefield, while two existing abilities are being removed. First up, here are the new team-ups coming to the game:

  • Blessing of the Kumiho: When teamed up with White Fox, Luna Snow can launch a spirit fox in a straight line, healing allies as well as damaging and charming enemies, causing them to briefly walk towards her. After using this ability, Luna gains a movement speed boost.
  • Cosmic Cyclone: With Storm at his side, Adam Warlock leaves behind a trail of charged energy that heals and speeds up allies who pass through it after activating Soaring Surge. His own movement speed while flying is also increased.

To make way for these new abilities, Jeff-Nado and Duality Dance are being retired.

And that wraps up our guide on the Marvel Rivals Season 7 nerfs and buffs. We’ll update this page with full nerfs and buffs details once the patch notes are released. Until then, let us know if your favorite character has been swept up in these balancing changes.
