Marvel Rivals Version 20260219 Balance Post
2026/02/15
Rivals, loud and clear, we hear you! After weighing community feedback and hero performance data, we will bring some balance adjustments in Patch 0219.
To keep S6 feeling stable for the entire season and ensure that players can join in at any point during these two months without compromising their consistent experience, the S6.5 changes were designed to be restrained, with a smaller impact on the overall meta.
But no worries! We're tracking your feedback as always and testing the proposed changes internally. Patch 0219 will target a subset of high-performing heroes that have drawn stronger feedback. There's more content coming your way, and we'll roll it out in Season 7. Please stay tuned!
ADJUSTMENTS
DUELIST
Elsa Bloodstone
The huntress's ult is toned down. Now Glartrox suppresses enemies for a shorter duration. The bar for Elsa to release Glartrox is raised, and the monster becomes a little less unbreakable.
- Reduces Glartrox's health from 500 to 400; Reduces Dash Duration from 6s to 3.5s; adjusts the enemy grab hitbox from 6m (L) × 6m (W) × 3.5m (H) to 5m (L) × 5m (W) × 3.5m (H).
Hawkeye
The archer must now stay laser-focused to deal meaningful damage.
- Reduces Piercing Arrow's Base Damage from 34 to 28. Reduces the Base Damage of a fully charged arrow from 85 to 70. When boosted by Archer's Focus, the damage of a charged arrow is down from 175 to 160.
Hela
The Queen of Hel's threat now extends only to a limited extent.
- Damage falloff of Nightsword Thorn still starts at 18m; at 30m, maximum falloff drops to 70% of the base (was 80%) ; beyond 25m, two critical hits will not KO a 250 HP target.
STRATEGIST
Gambit
The King of Cards takes a slight hit in survivability and damage.
- Reduces base health from 275 to 250.
- Breaking Spades now grants 10% Damage Boost (was 15%).
