Fixes and Optimizations

Heroes

•

Angela's Graphic Issues: Fixed an issue where Angela's visual effects might display awkwardly after she was defeated while using Odin's Unacknowledged Team-Up Ability. Even the newly enthroned Queen of Hel needs her VFX in check. Angela is back to looking hevenly or hel-ly!

•

Doctor Strange's Shield Surge: Addressed an unintended issue where Doctor Strange using the Psionic Vortex Team-Up Ability could instantly fully restore the maximum value of his Shield of the Seraphim while its enhanced effect was active. The mystic arts are now perfectly balanced. By the Hoary Hosts of Hoggoth!

•

Mystic Video Glitch: Fixed a bug that prevented the Scarlet Witch and Doctor Strange Team-Up showcase video from playing correctly. The chaos magic has been subdued; you can now witness their mystic might in crystal clear quality!

•

Cloak & Dagger's Crisp Canvas: Ironed out the jagged textures on the "Sunset Shores" chroma of Cloak & Dagger's Coastal Couple costume. No more rough edges on these two; they're shining as brightly as the sun!

•

Scarlet Witch's Chaotic Choreography: Fixed an offset in the VFX placement when Scarlet Witch used her Floral Tide emote. Chaos magic is no excuse for bad beach vibes; Wanda's effects are now precisely on point!

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!
