Marvel Rivals Season 7 brings a substantial update that reshapes how you approach matches. You can expect a new playable hero, expanded Team-Up options, adjustments to Ultimate abilities, and a wide range of new costumes.
This season’s patch notes outline balance changes that affect the overall pace of combat, while also introducing fresh content to keep team compositions evolving. Whether you focus on competitive play or casual matches, you will notice meaningful updates across heroes and core mechanics.
Marvel Rivals Season 7 Release Timing
You can start playing Season 7: The Hunt Is On on March 20, 2026. NetEase confirmed the date in the Season 6.5 roadmap and later repeated it across official channels, including YouTube and social media.
Expect the update to go live following scheduled server maintenance on launch day.
Marvel Rivals White Fox release date
You can play White Fox starting March 20, 2026, when Season 7 goes live across all platforms. She joins the roster as a Strategist, adding a support-focused option built around healing, crowd control, and team buffs.
White Fox draws on martial arts skills and the power of the nine-tailed fox. She uses Yeowoo Guseul to restore allies’ health while damaging opponents, and she builds Kumiho energy to enhance teammates and briefly charm enemies.
Her kit also lets her partially transform, strike with claws, and use her tails to push enemies away from key positions.
When you activate her ultimate, she reveals her full nine-tailed form. In this state, she delivers strong claw attacks that pressure opponents while healing allies and empowering teammates with unstoppable and lifesteal effects.
You can also watch her official gameplay reveal trailer, “White Fox: The Kumiho Strikes Back,” to see her abilities in action before jumping into matches.
Marvel Rivals Season 7 Patch Notes
Season 7 introduces a broad reduction to Ultimate charge rates that affects every role. You now build Ultimate energy more slowly across the board, which lowers the frequency of high-impact abilities in each match.
Global Ultimate Energy Changes (from March 20):
- Vanguards & Duelists
- Damage-to-energy conversion reduced from 90% → 70%
- Passive energy regeneration reduced from 12 → 11 per second
- Strategists
- Damage and healing conversion reduced from 90% → 75%
- Passive energy regeneration reduced from 12 → 8 per second
These changes reduce Ultimate uptime and place more value on timing and coordination.
Vanguard Adjustments
| Hero | Key Changes |
|---|---|
| Angela | Lowered Seraphic Soar’s charge-to-spear conversion (45% → 35%) but increased full-charge bonus damage (15 → 20). Shielded Stance now converts more damage into charge (25% → 35%). Assassin’s Charge cooldown increased (3s → 6s) while max recharge time drops (10s → 8s). Axes of Ichors grants more bonus health to you (40 → 50) and allies (20 → 25) after Divine Judgement. Heaven’s Retribution spear damage increased (10 → 40) while spear health reduced (800 → 650). |
| Captain America | When you toggle Leading Dash, your final four Sentinel Strike shield throws no longer get interrupted. Freedom Charge now grants less Ultimate energy to allies (30% → 20%). |
| Deadpool (Vanguard) | Upgraded damage reduction lowered (40% → 30%). Ultimate cooldown increased (45s → 60s). |
| Doctor Strange | Shield of the Seraphim shield value reduced (800 → 700). |
| Emma Frost | Diamond Form damage reduction reduced (25% → 20%). Psionic Seduction now has stronger long-range damage falloff (50% → 70% at 30m) but grants you 20% damage reduction while active. |
| Hulk | Indestructible Guard converts more absorbed damage into Ultimate charge (100% → 130%). Gamma Burst now holds two charges with a 6s cooldown each. Damage per hit reduced (75 → 65), and post-use cooldown reduced (6s → 2s). |
| Magneto | Metal Bulwark cooldown increased (12s → 15s). Iron Bulwark cooldown reduced (12s → 10s). Meteor M projectile speed increased (30m/s → 45m/s). |
These changes reduce overall durability in some cases while sharpening specific strengths, such as Hulk’s charge gain and Magneto’s faster Ultimate projectile.
Duelist Updates
| Hero | Key Changes |
|---|---|
| Black Panther | Removed the cooldown on Subtle Step’s second jump, giving you more consistent mobility. |
| Blade | Hunter’s Shotgun projectile speed increased (150m/s → 180m/s). Ancestral Sword range increased (4.5m → 5m). Bloodline Awakening now converts excess lifesteal into bonus health (up to 75, 50% conversion), and lifesteal ratio increased (65% → 70%). Thousand-Fold Slash now applies lifesteal without requiring Bloodline Awakening and converts that lifesteal into bonus health. Healing reduction on enemies increased (20% → 40%). |
| Daredevil | Devil’s Chain end damage reduced (35 → 25) and bonus max health reduced (125 → 100). Sonic Pursuit damage reduction reduced (20% → 10%). |
| Deadpool (Duelist) | Base health increased (250 → 275). Ultimate cooldown increased (45s → 60s). |
You now rely more on sustained engagements and positioning rather than frequent Ultimate activations. Several Duelists gain improved survivability or mobility, but longer cooldowns and lower damage reduction limit burst-heavy play.
Marvel Rivals Season 7 Team-Ups
Season 7 adjusts existing pairings and adds two new Hero Team‑Ups that affect healing, utility, and ability access. You need to account for both new synergies and removed combinations when planning compositions.
New Team Combinations
- Blessing of the Kumiho (White Fox + Luna Snow)
- White Fox acts as the anchor and increases her healing output by 10%.
- Luna Snow gains access to Spirit Fox Accord, a new ability tied to this pairing.
- Cosmic Cyclone (Storm + Adam Warlock)
- Adam Warlock unlocks Heavenly Harmony when linked with Storm.
Adjustments and Removals
- Duality Dance (Adam Warlock + Luna Snow)
- Adam Warlock no longer receives the 15% healing boost from the anchor effect.
- Jeff-nado (Storm + Jeff the Land Shark)
- Removed from the Team‑Up roster.
You should review these changes before locking in support-heavy or synergy-driven lineups.
