Marvel Rivals July 24 Patch Notes Bring New Team-Ups, Accessory Point Changes and More

Marvel Rivals Season 3, The Abyss Awakens, debuted on July 11, and players are diving into its new meta. Phoenix’s inclusion as a Duelist has changed strategy, with her Primal Flame Team-Up with Wolverine resulting in a flaming, lifesteal-fueled powerhouse that is dominating ranked matches.

The Ever-Burning Bond Team-Up, which combines Human Torch and Spider-Man, is also becoming quite popular, giving Spidey’s webs a scorching edge for devastating AoE damage. The Klyntar: Celestial Husk map and balancing adjustments, such as enhancements to The Thing’s mobility and Namor’s damage, have boosted the pro scene.

As Season 3 progresses, a new update is here which features the “First Steps” team-up between Human Torch and The Thing, promising to shake up the meta even more while commemorating the renowned superhero team’s big screen debut with the MCU film release. Here are the full patch notes for the update.

New Fantastic Four Skins Bundle

The Fantastic Four: First Steps Costume Series Debuts! Available from: July 25, at 2 AM UTC. All four characters, Mister Fantastic, Invisible Woman, Human Torch, and The Thing, will get new skins and emotes inspired by the upcoming MCU film.

New Additions and Optimizations

New Team-Up Ability – First Steps (Human Torch & The Thing):

Johnny is the Team-Up Anchor and can lift The Thing into the air. Then, at the perfect moment, hurl Ben to the ground, dealing damage, launching enemies, and creating a zone that disables mobility abilities.

“You know what time it is, Ben?”

We’ve increased the rate at which Accessory Points can be earned:

Quick Match: Now grants 15 per match. Practice VS. AI: Now grants 10 per match. This change takes effect after the Accessory Point limit resets on July 25 at 9 AM UTC.

All Platform Fixes

Fixed an issue where there was no background music in the lobby transition for Psylocke’s Breezy Butterfly costume. Now, you can enjoy those mutant vibes in style!

Hero Fixes

• Spider-Man’s Web of Woes: 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. Now Spidey’s marks display correctly, no more sticky situations.
• Phoenix’s Fiery Focus: Corrected a minor scaling error in Phoenix’s hero select display. Jean’s presence is now as balanced as the Phoenix Force itself.
• Black Widow’s Red Room Reboot: Addressed an issue where if Natasha was launched up during Edge Dancer, it could disrupt the subsequent multi-stage ability logic. The Black Widow Program taught her better – Nat’s moves are now flawless.
• Rocket Raccoon’s Ravager Revival: 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 2 teammates. Even Rocket can only make one miracle at a time, folks!
• Cloak & Dagger’s Shadow Shuffle: 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). The Darkforce Dimension is invitation-only!
• Phoenix’s Frame-Rate Phoenix Down: Fixed an issue where Phoenix’s turning mid-air during her Ultimate Ability was affected by frame rate (lower frame rates made her easier to control). Now, Jean’s fiery flight is smooth at any speed. Rise again, Phoenix!
