All Marvel Rivals Season 4 hero buffs and nerfs

Marvel Rivals came to the scene and already surpassed the long-time hero shooter veteran Overwatch 2 in playable heroes. However, with a large number of playable characters in a competitive game, it’s crucial for the developers to ensure that every character is balanced.

For this, NetEase Games constantly releases updates that buff, nerf, or rework certain heroes and their abilities. Season 4 is slated to be no different, since a handful of heroes will be seeing changes in this season to ensure that players have a fair experience, especially in the competitive mode.

Without any further delays, here are all of the Marvel Rivals Season 4 hero buffs and nerfs.

Vanguard Updates

• Captain America: His Team-Up Anchor no longer provides a 5% damage boost, lowering his overall synergy power.
• Doctor Strange: Maelstrom of Madness’ cooldown has been reduced to 6 seconds, making it more accessible. However, his base health has been cut from 600 to 575, balancing his improved ability uptime.
• Emma Frost: Diamond Form’s cooldown rises from 15 to 18 seconds, while Telepathic Pulse now generates less energy when targeting shields, dropping from 10/s to 5/s.
• Peni Parker: Spider-Drone attacks now apply a stacking slow effect of up to 40%. During her Ultimate, drones release faster, going from 0.7 seconds per shot to 0.5.

• Winter Soldier: Trooper’s Fist now prevents enemies from using mobility abilities for one second after the second strike, giving Bucky more control in close combat.
