Marvel Rivals patch notes: February 19

Marvel Rivals patch 20260219 features balance changes to duelists Elsa Bloodstone, Hela, and Hawkeye plus an update to strategist hero Gambit. Elsa Bloodstone’s Glartrox now deals less damage, has a shorter dash duration, and a smaller enemy grab hitbox. Next, Hela’s Nightsword Thorn does less damage at longer ranges while Hawkeye’s base and charged arrow damage are reduced. As for Gambit, he now has lower base health and a reduced damage boost from Breaking Spades

All of the Marvel Rivals details for version 20260219 are below, courtesy of NetEase Games.

Elsa Bloodstone

The huntress’s ult is toned down. Now Glartrox suppresses enemies for a shorter duration. The bar for Elsa to release Glartrox is raised, and the monster becomes a little less unbreakable.

– Reduces Glartrox’s health from 500 to 400; Reduces Dash Duration from 6s to 3.5s; adjusts the enemy grab hitbox from 6m (L) × 6m (W) × 3.5m (H) to 5m (L) × 5m (W) × 3.5m (H).

Hawkeye

The archer must now stay laser-focused to deal meaningful damage.

– Reduces Piercing Arrow’s Base Damage from 34 to 28. Reduces the Base Damage of a fully charged arrow from 85 to 70. When boosted by Archer’s Focus, the damage of a charged arrow is down from 175 to 160.

Hela

The Queen of Hel’s threat now extends only to a limited extent.

– Damage falloff of Nightsword Thorn still starts at 18m; at 30m, maximum falloff drops to 70% of the base (was 80%) ; beyond 25m, two critical hits will not KO a 250 HP target.

Gambit

The King of Cards takes a slight hit in survivability and damage.

– Reduces base health from 275 to 250.
– Breaking Spades now grants 10% Damage Boost (was 15%).
