NetEase Games recently released Season 3 ofMarvel Rivals, adding the popular X-Men character Jean Grey to the roster as the Duelist Phoenix.
In addition to adding Phoenix herself, NetEase Games introduced a fresh team-up between the new Duelist andWolverine inMarvel Rivals. The team-up has been met with quite a bit of controversy, as it powers up Wolverine’s Feral Leap ability. Under the team-up, Feral Leap covers Wolverine in flames, allowing him to deal percentage damage to nearby foes. He also gains lifesteal, which means he is simultaneously dealing more damage than before and is constantly regenerating health. Many Vanguard players have complained about the team-up, claiming that it makes the Duelist completely unbalanced.

Psylocke’s costume is called Breezy Butterfly and shows the Duelist in a teal swimsuit and a purple top.

From the image shown, he’s also sporting a wide-brimmed hat and has a golden dragon draped across his shoulders. As of writing, NetEase Games hasn’t revealed just how much either cosmetic will cost.
