All buffs and nerfs in Marvel Rivals March 13 update
Marvel Rivals’ brand new patchpromises to bring tons of new features fromTwitch Drops, key bug fixes, and of course, a few buffs and nerfs to your favorite characters.
One of the best things about Marvel Rivals is that it’s forever changing, withevery new character, we get new ways to play, and with every update, we see changes to those overpowered fighters or the ones that struggle to be seen, or win a match.
The March 13 patch is no different, with plenty of heroes seeing changes, as well as a few surprising buffs to already deadly characters.
Marvel Rivals March 13 update sees major changes to heroes
Cloak and Dagger
Cloak and Daggerhave received a small buff to their Lightforce Dagger, which increases the healing effect on hit allies from 10 to 16. However, they’ve also seen a reduction to the spell field healing amount generated by that hit, reducing it from 18 to 16.
So overall, it’s really just a case of balancing for the Strategist heroes, meaning they’re unlikely to move fromtheir S-tier ranking.
Their changes have been listed below:
Human Torch
Human Torchis one of themost overpowered charactersin Marvel Rivals right now, sitting comfortably at the top of our tier list and dominating most matches he’s in. Interestingly, despite this, he’s received even more buffs in the March 13 patch.
His Fire Cluster projectile speed has increased from 120m/s to 150m/s and his count for this has increased to 14, where it was previously 12. He has had a slight nerf to his ultimate, with the energy cost of Supernova increasing to 4,000 from 3,400 but the damage from his activation wave has gone up from 70 to 80. Lastly, his Flame Tornado damage will now be 120 per second, instead of 100 per second.

Marvel Rivals update just created the most annoying meta so far
His changes have been listed below:
Iron Mansits at A-tier on our tier list currently but could shift after these nerfs. His Repulsor Blast stage 1 and 2 direct hit damage has been reduced from 55 to 50, and his stage 3 damage has gone from 50 to 65. That being said, the spell field damage for both of these has gone up from 35 to 50 for the stage 1 and 2, and from 40 to 60 for stage 3.
He’s also seen a damage decrease from 55 to 50 for his Repulsor Blast (Armor Overdrive), but with an increase in spell field damage to 65 from 55. Of course, these feel like minor balancing adjustments, though it could change the way you play, given the damage changes.
All character bug fixes
After receiving hishighly anticipated President Loki skin, this Strategist has finally had a key bug fix. The March 13 update has resolved an issue in whichLoki’stransformation during his ultimate caused the camera to shift incorrectly in the Past Lives replays.
Namor’smost frustrating bug, which stopped his Ultimate from dealing damage if he was spat out byJeff the Land Sharkmid-air has also been fixed, allowing players to destroy the pesky shark once and for all… until it happens again.
Peni Parker
Peni Parkerhas two major bug fixes in this update. Her Arachno-Mines now stay visible even when landing outside Cyber-Webs, so be sure to remember that enemies can now spot them. Then, Netese has resolved the bug where Spider-Drones could bypass floors when webs were stacked above and below.
The Thingpreviously suffered from inconsistent Embattled Leap speeds for players under poor network conditions. Though this has now been fixed.
Venomisn’t meant to float, and Netease has made sure of that by addressing a bug in which he would remain stuck in the air shortly after using his Ultimate.
Winter Soldier
Winter Soldiermains can finally revel in the fact that his Tainted Voltage will now correctly auto-reload once you use Trooper’s Fist. On top of this, his Bionic Hook previously caused arm model issues during slow motion match endings, this has now been resolved.
