In this Marvel Rivals update, Moon Knight gets a buff and a fiery new skin.

While players are admiring the upcoming Tralalero Tralala Jeff emote, NetEase Games dropped the official Marvel Rivals update for June 19 as well. This patch includes a Moon Knight buff, a Storm nerf, and so much more.

Marvel Rivals' next update

The next Marvel Rivals update arrives on June 19, and it features the aforementioned balance adjustments to duelist heroes Moon Knight and Storm. While Moon Knight gets a health increase, Storm's ultimate costs more energy. Meanwhile, Star-Lord gets a buff in terms of his mid-range damage. Thor is the only vanguard hero with a change, and it's more of a quality-of-life update than a balance adjustment.

The section below goes over all of the major Marvel Rivals patch notes for June 19, including changes to the different team-ups.
