On April 30, 2025, a fresh update for Marvel Rivals will be released, available for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. This time, NetEase Games is tweaking the balance with Version 2.04.30, enhancing the combined strength of Captain America and Winter Soldier’s teamwork feature. However, this power boost comes at a cost for Captain America, as his base health points will be decreased. In contrast, Winter Soldier gains an improvement to his Tainted Voltage ability, making it more effective.
Characters such as Groot and Spider-Man will need to cope with some adjustments or reductions in their abilities’ effectiveness. Specifically, Groot’s Ironwood Wall will now have less overall health, making it less effective at shielding against incoming damage. As for Spider-Man, the range of his Amazing Combo attack will be decreased by one meter, requiring him to take a slight risk in order to land those powerful hits in the future.
