Marvel Rivals is turning one in a couple of days, and the entire game and its community are in a celebratory mood. The festivities started with some free limited-time currency and are continuing with some thematic skins for Psylocke and Luna Snow.
Both girls are receiving the legendaries, customizable with color palette changes. Psylocke’s new outfit is especially noteworthy. Daring Daifuku costume is priced at 2400 Units, in line with other legendary skins in Marvel Rivals, and on a 100 Unit sale. Additionally, it also has a new gacha mechanic attached to it.
Players can throw shurikens at popping balloons at 100 units each, and in case of getting the Psylocke outfit, the rest of the items will be received for free, including the Daring Daifuku emoji. At the same time, its price cannot exceed the 2400 Unit threshold, so there’s no downside in trying your luck to get the skin for cheaper if you already intend to purchase it.
Daring Daifuku outfit continues the lineup of confectionery-themed costumes. This time, it’s based on the Japanese sweet called daifuku. It’s made of small, round mochi and stuffed with different fillings, most often strawberries and red bean paste.
Psylocke’s Daring Daifuku costume will be available in the “Van Dyne’s: Grand Opening” event from December 4th to December 18th. Custom Colors and Ultimate Ability VFX will be sold in the shop until January 2nd.
Luna Snow’s skin, Cherry Delight, looks to be a permanent addition to the game’s shop and will be available for purchase along with the Emoji Combo from December 5th.
Her outfit also has the same theme, with dark chocolate, cream, and cherry tones.
In addition to these two costumes, NetEase also released the notes for the patch that comes with these skins.

Fixes and Optimizations
Anniversary Event – Rivals Assemble: We’ve made a few tweaks to help you rally your crew and complete the event more smoothly:
- You can now open the Rivals Assemble event interface directly from Times Square.
- Added a Quick Copy Friend UID option in the friend list’s menu, making it faster than ever to connect, coordinate, and collect rewards!
Fixes
- 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!
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
NetEase seems to love Psylocke and Luna Snow quite a lot, but when the skins they receive are of such a high quality, can anyone really blame them?
