Season 1 of Marvel Rivals launches later this week, bringing two members of the Fantastic Four to the Marvel-themed multiplayer hero shooter. Fridays update also brings a long list of changes for just about every playable Marvel superhero and villain, including many much-needed tweaks to characters like Hawkeye, Hela, and Thor.Many of Marvel Rivals balance adjustments in season 1 come in the form of more or less health for characters. Hela, for example, is having her health shaved down to 250, because shes a menace, according to the games developer. But some heroes, like Hawkeye, will output less damage, at least in the medium-to-long range. Thor will now be nigh-unstoppable when unleashing his God of Thunder ultimate, which can no longer be interrupted by crowd control abilities. Mantis is getting a nerf to her movement boost passive, while Rocket will get a healing buff and a boost to his Team Up with Punisher and Winter Soldier. Theres also a good chance you will be swallowed less by Jeff the Land Shark.Marvel Rivals players will want to familiarize themselves with all the changes coming later this week as they welcome their new main, Invisible Woman (and Malice).Read on for the full season 1 patch notes for Marvel Rivals from developer NetEase Games.Marvel Rivals season 1 patch notes for Jan. 10VANGUARDCaptain AmericaSteve will receive some enhanced survivability, allowing more frequent entering and exiting of the combat.
