Fixes
Heroes
1. Portal Perplexity Problem: On rare occasions, some heroes firing at certain special angles when near portals could cause the attacks to mysteriously deal no damage. We've patched the loophole, no more phantom bullets slipping into the multiverse void!
2. Doctor Strange's Sideways Shield: In rare cases, the Sorcerer Supreme's Shield of the Seraphim decided to face the wrong direction, as if defending the wrong dimension entirely. We've restored its mystical bearings, now it guards exactly where the Master of the Mystic Arts intends.
3. Adam Warlock's Replay Riddle: During a respawn at Rocket Raccoon's B.R.B., if the beacon was destroyed mid-process, Adam sometimes found himself watching his own Past Lives KO replay… again. We've fixed the cosmic glitch, no more déjà vu from the edge of eternity.
4. Angela's Standstill Stumble: Under unstable network conditions, Assassin's Charge could leave her frozen in place, as if mid-battle meditation. We've unleashed her stride, the Asgardian huntress now sweeps across the battlefield without missing a beat, no matter the connection.
The Marvel Rivals universe is ever-evolving, and we have plenty more surprises and updates on the horizon. Stay tuned to our official announcements for more!
