The Strategist has been one of the easiest characters to play so far, but thats about to change. NetEase is changing nearly his entire kit and making his ultimate ability less powerful on offense. To make up for this, the popular raccoon will be more viable on defense.In this article, we will take a detailed look at all the Rocket changes coming with Season 2. If he is your main, youll have to adjust to these changes to be more effective.What will Rocket look like in Marvel Rivals Season 2?One of the main complaints Marvel Rivals players have about Rocket is the last of a defensive ult. Yet, despite this, he has the third-highest win rate among all heroes in Season 1.5. On top of this, he also provides the third-most healing per second, trailing only Luna Snow and Cloak & Dagger. However, this will likely change in the next season.Marvel Rivals Season 2 buffs and nerfs reveal a massive overhaul for Rocket. His Repair Mode spheres will now heal 50 health per second, down from 70, while they will slow down to 7 meters per second once hitting an injured ally, as opposed to 4.5 m/s before the update. To make up for this, Rocket will be given a one-time heal of 55 hit points to allies hit with his spheres.While Rockets healing should stay more or less the same, it will require a different approach and smarter positioning. However, the biggest nerf that will come in the new season is his mobility. The cooldown on his Jetpack Dash was increased from 6 to 10 seconds and its dash distance was reduced from 10 to 8 meters, which will make him much more vulnerable on the battlefield.Finally, Rockets ultimate ability was completely reworked in Season 2 of Marvel Rivals.The damage boost of Rockets ultimate ability was decreased from 40% to 25%. Furthermore, C.Y.A. now requires 4,000 energy, as opposed to 3,700 before the update. Fortunately, the ability will be more viable as a defensive tool, as linked allies will receive an additional 100 bonus health points per second, capping at 150. This will also boost Rockets HP to 400 during the duration of his ultimate ability.To sum it all up, Rocket will require smarter positioning and decision-making in the next season of Marvel Rivals. He should still be a great healer, and the changes to his ultimate ability will improve the survivability of his team.Marvel RivalsPlatform(s):macOS, PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series S, Xbox Series XGenre(s):Fighting, ShooterSubscribe to our newsletters!By subscribing, you agree to our Privacy Policy and may receive occasional deal communications; you can unsubscribe anytime.Share
