Summary

Many players have voiced concerns regarding Wolverine’s balance since the launch of Season 3 of Marvel Rivals.

Changes include a reduction in Wolverine’s lifesteal and durability, alongside a decrease in the damage output of his Berserk Claw Strike.

An upcoming Summer Special event in Marvel Rivals will provide players with new hero skins and cosmetics through August 15.

Marvel Rivals has announced significant balance adjustments slated for July 17, specifically targeting Wolverine players. NetEase Games recently introduced Season 3, adding the Duelist Phoenix to the game’s character lineup.

Although many have enjoyed playing Jean Grey as the Duelist Phoenix, there have been complaints regarding her overpowering synergy with Wolverine in the game. The Primal Flame team-up enhances Wolverine’s Feral Leap ability, massively increasing its damage potential, to the detriment of other players.

Many Vanguard users have taken to social media platforms to urge developers to address these balance issues.

In a recent tweet, NetEase announced that updates will include reductions in Wolverine’s received lifesteal from the Phoenix team-up and increases in cooldown on his regenerative abilities.
