A new update for Marvel Rivals will go live tomorrow, Aug. 21, and it includes a handful of hero balancing changes but not much else.
The game's newest hero, Blade, will be getting a slight buff while another Duelist and one Strategist are being taken down a peg or two in the update that will hit live servers at 3am CT. With just a few weeks left until the new season should be arriving, this may be the last game update until then.
Read on for the full list of patch notes and hero buffs and nerfs coming to Marvel Rivals this week.
