Just days after he started dominating matches, Wolverine has been hit with a pretty noticeable nerf in Marvel Rivals. The July 17 patch tones down his healing and lifesteal, especially when he teams up with Phoenix. His regeneration cooldown is now longer (from 90 to 105 seconds), and his powerful Primal Flame combo, which gave him 33% lifesteal, is now down to 25%. Plus, players will have to between healing boosts from assists. It’s clear NetEase thought things were getting a little too hot to handle.
Meanwhile, NetEase is heating things up with the upcoming Summer Splash skin event, launching soon in Season 3. Characters like Psylocke, Loki, and Luna Snow are getting full swimsuit makeovers, with themed skins, profile frames, and cosmetics up for grabs through limited-time challenges. According to TechRadar, these rewards won’t just be paywalled, players can earn many of them by completing in-game missions. So whether you’re dodging claws or collecting beachwear, Marvel Rivals is keeping things interesting this summer.
