Marvel Rivals Season 6.5 Launches Feb. 13 With Elsa Bloodstone and Major Balance Overhaul

A broad rebalance, new Team-Ups, and timed events draw sharp player criticism.

Overview

  • Elsa Bloodstone arrives as a Duelist using dual firearms, a Diablo trap, Instinct-based cooldowns, and a Glartrox ultimate that charges through and displaces enemies.
  • Team-Ups are reshuffled as the Fantastic Four link is retired, with Elsa added to Deadpool’s Toy Box (vision-impairing Living Bullets with recall healing), The Thing joining Gamma Charge, Mister Fantastic moving to Rocket Network, and Invisible Woman pairing with Doctor Strange for Psionic Mayhem.
  • NetEase says the mid-season update rolls out globally on February 13 with the usual simultaneous PC and console deployment.
  • Season events include a Valentine’s Times Square parade for Gambit and Rogue, Spring Festival lion dance rewards, and Deadpool’s Monster Kingdom Championship on February 21–22 with Duos and Squads divisions and in-game prizes.
  • Patch notes detail wide buffs and nerfs across roles — including changes to Rogue, Storm, Adam Warlock, Deadpool, Thor, Phoenix, Psylocke, Invisible Woman, Loki, and more — and have prompted strong community backlash reported by PC Gamer.
