AMarvel Rivalsleak revealed Blade’s ability kit, following rumors that he might be the next character to be released in the game. The nextMarvel Rivalsseason is set to release in July, and many fans are looking forward to the upcoming new content and playable characters.
Marvel Rivalshas been teasing Blade since Season 2, where the half-vampire antihero is seen sleeping in the Intergalactic Empire of Wakanda map. However, many players thought that Blade would be released earlier, especially since Dracula, who is one of his well-known foes, was the central antagonist inMarvel RivalsSeason 1.
With recent rumors about the nextMarvel Rivalsseason, it’s possible that Blade might finally become playable sooner rather than later. Prominent leaker RivalsInfo shared information about Blade’s rumored kit onTwitter, detailing that the character allegedly has two primary attacks. One is called Blade Chopper, where he uses Dracula’s sword to slash at opponents; while the other is a hunting shotgun that fires long-range explosive shrapnel. His skill, Blood Liberation, is said to give him stronger senses, and he can heal himself by inflicting damage. He also has a skill called Step and Chop that’s said to reduce opponents' movement speed and healing. Lastly, his ultimate ability lets him charge and deliver a powerful sword chop at enemies. RivalsInfo didn’t confirm Blade’s role, but it’s possible that he might be a newMarvel RivalsDuelistbased on the leaked kit.
Blade Leaked Abilities for Marvel Rivals
Developer NetEase Games has yet to officially confirm Blade as the next playable character, so the information about his kit could still be subject to change. Meanwhile, manyMarvel Rivalsfans compared Blade to Punisher and Magik based on the leaked details of his abilities. Some expressed that Blade’s rumored anti-heal ability could change the meta, especially forMarvel Rivalsplayers who mainly play Strategists.
Meanwhile, many fans are anticipating more information about Phoenix, who is also arumored playable character inMarvel RivalsSeason 3. Similar to Blade, there’s still no information about Phoenix’s role in the game, but considering her abilities in Marvel Comics, she could either be a Vanguard because of her telekinesis or a Strategist similar to Ultron. The next season is said to be titled “Abyss Awaken,” which could hint that Marvel character Abyss might become the next central antagonist. It would be interesting to see how Blade, Phoenix, and the rest of theMarvel Rivalsroster will fit into the next story update.
