Marvel RivalsSeason 3 is almost upon us, meaning NetEase has started outlining exactly what’s coming to the game later this month.Twitchspoiled the surprise last week,revealing that Jean Grey and Blade are the next two characters being added to the roster, but NetEase gave us the details ina new video which was uploaded to YouTube earlier today.
As usual, the video discussed all the new features coming to Marvel Rivals, a balance changes preview, and a first look at some new team-ups coming alongside Jean Grey. One of these is a team-up with Wolverine, which is undoubtedly going to turn Logan into way more of a menace for tank players than he already is. We should be very afraid.
Marvel Rivals Season 3 Is Giving Wolverine A Busted Team-Up Ability
The team-up is called Primal Flame, and requires Jean Grey to be the anchor for Wolverine. With both heroes on the field, Wolverine’s Feral Leap - which is able to kidnap tanks and the primary reason why Wolverine is despised - will burn nearby enemies, causing constant damage over time. On top of that, all of Wolverine’s attacks during this time will have lifesteal, so not only does he do more damage, he’s also close to invincible while leaping on someone.
Given that Wolverine isalready one of the most-banned and hated characters in the game, and an absolute nightmare for almost every tank in the game to deal with, this will undoubtedly make him a sheer menace in Season 3. There is still hope though, as we haven’t had all the balance changes yet, and we don’t know which team-up abilities are being removed.
It’s possible that Fastball Special will be removed from the game, meaning Wolverine will lose his anchor bonus and get a pretty decent nerf to his overall damage. The Thing - one of Wolverine’s only counters in the tank department - is also getting an ability that lets him hit fliers, so he should be used a lot more often. If Fastball Special doesn’t get removed, I’m not touching tank next season.
