More on Marvel Rivals Season 3 update
The new season welcomes the iconic X-Men character Phoenix (aka Jean Grey), built for agile combat, packing mobility via flight, heavy area-of-effect powers, and fearsome precision. Her presence transforms the battlefield, especially for heroes who rely on close-quarters or burst damage.

Complementing her arrival is the brand-new Klyntar: Celestial Husk map, set on a symbiote planet. It’s more than a backdrop – the Klyntar theme extends to the battle pass, offering symbiote-infused skins and rewards that match the map’s aesthetic.
Balance changes are a big part of Marvel Rivals Season 3. The update dials down some overpowering heroes like Iron Man (slower ultimate charge) and Emma Frost (less dominant Diamond Form).
Meanwhile, characters such as Invisible Woman and The Thing get meaningful boosts: more healing for the former, and the latter can finally counter flying foes.
On top of that, two Team‑Up Abilities debut, adding tactical flair:
- Ever‑Burning Bond (Human Torch + Spider‑Man).
- Primal Flame (Phoenix + Wolverine).
Some existing pairings are tweaked – Stark Protocol (Iron Man + Squirrel Girl) and Symbiote Shenanigans (Venom + Jeff the Land Shark or Hela). Meanwhile, a couple of older team-ups are retired.
