Summary
July 10 brings Marvel Rivals Season 9: The Mystery of Thebes, adding Jubilee and The Hood alongside sweeping roster balance changes and a major Team-Up overhaul.
55% is the new damage-to-energy conversion cap for Vanguards and Duelists, down from 70%, while Strategists fall to 60% healing-to-energy and 55% damage-to-energy, making ultimates less frequent.
Regenerative Shields debut as a new health type that starts refilling after five seconds out of combat, replacing chunks of base health on heroes including Captain America, Hulk, Venom and Black Panther.
Black Widow also gets a major rework, while Team-Up anchors are removed and abilities shift to loadout-based selection, changing how heroes gain damage, healing and survivability.
NetEase paired broad buffs for tanks and healers such as Doctor Strange, Groot and Cloak & Dagger with nerfs to Rogue, Cyclops, Iron Man and Rocket Raccoon's ultimate to force a new meta.
