Here comes some more balance adjustments, as certain heroes are getting nerfs and buffs in the upcoming Marvel Rivals patch.

It is no secret that Marvel Rivals Season 2 has been off to a banging start. And now, we have a new update on our way with balance changes. In Marvel Rivals Version 20250430, several nerfs and buffs come to the heroes and villains of the game's massive roster.

Not every hero and villain received a tweak, however. So, let's go over which ones did.

All upcoming nerfs and buffs in Marvel Rivals Version 20250430

None of the character roles are safe. All three of them have at least a couple of heroes that are getting adjusted with this patch. So, without further ado, let's take a look first at the Vanguard nerfs and buffs in Marvel Rivals:

  • Captain America
    • Reduce base health from 650 to 600.
  • Doctor Strange
    • Decrease the energy cost to unleash the Eye of Agamotto from 3400 to 3100.
  • Groot
    • Reduce the health of Ironwood Wall from 700 to 600.
  • Spider-Man
    • Decrease the damage range of Amazing Combo from a 5m radius to a 4m radius.
  • Winter Soldier
    • Adjust the Tainted Voltage ability to have 2 charge levels, while keeping the cooldown time unchanged.

And lastly, we have the nerfs and buffs hitting the Strategist characters in Marvel Rivals:

  • Adam Warlock
    • Add a new effect to Quantum Magic: When a critical hit lands on an enemy, reduce the cooldown time of Avatar Life Stream by 1s.
  • Cloak & Dagger
    • As Cloak, increase the damage of the Darkforce Cloak from 75/s to 80/s.
    • As Dagger, increase the damage of the Lightforce Dagger on hit from 15 to 18.
  • Luna Snow
    • Adjust the damage falloff of Light and Dark ice from 60% at 40m to 75%.
  • Mantis
    • Increase the hit damage of Life Energy Blast from 50 to 55.

You didn't think that was it, did you? Nope, there is one more. A change to a Team-Up ability:

  • Stars Aligned (Captain America and Winter Soldier)
    • Upon leaping to a teammate, Stellar Impact will provide 50 bonus health to allies within range.
