Marvel Rivals Version 20250717 Balance Post

In the recently launched Season 3, we observed that Wolverine's new Team-Up Ability with Phoenix has been bringing a bit too much heat to Vanguards. This duo's combined power has led to battles for Vanguards feeling less like a hero's journey and more like a mutiny, potentially sidelining key Vanguard heroes. To restore balance and keep the fight epic, we're nerfing Wolverine's Team-Up Ability and dialing down his threat level against the Vanguards in this update.

We'll keep a close eye on the hero ecosystem and your battles, so stay tuned for more balance adjustments in future updates.
