Marvel Rivals’ Season 3.5 update is coming August 8, and it will not only add the long-awaited vampire-hunter Blade, but also bring major changes to team-up abilities and competitive play.
Blade enters NetEase’s hero shooter with a number of sword-based abilities capable of slicing through foes in a deadly series of spins and slashes. However, he also comes equipped with a shotgun ideal for dealing damage at mid-to-close range. His ultimate ability sees him draw the Sword of Dracula to leave a deadly trail of slashes in his wake. Combined with the ability to prevent incoming enemy heals for a brief period of time and his maneuverability, and Blade looks to be a potent addition to the game’s Duelist lineup.
The Daywalker isn’t the only new addition coming with the game’s August 8 patch. As outlined in a new Dev Vision video, it will also add, remove, and adjust a number of team-up abilities. Guardian Revival, which saw Mantis and Star-Lord take advantage of Adam Warlock’s regenerative abilities, is being removed, as is Luna Snow and Iron Fists’s Atlas Bond.
