Deadpool Joins Marvel Rivals Season 6 as Duelist, Strategist, Vanguard

Deadpool has officially joined the ranks of Marvel Rivals in Season 6. This addition was anticipated, especially following hints leading up to the Game Awards this year. Developers at NetEase have creatively adapted this beloved Marvel character for the fast-paced hero shooter.

Deadpool’s Versatile Roles in Marvel Rivals

In Marvel Rivals, players can choose to play as Deadpool in three distinct roles: Duelist, Strategist, and Vanguard. His look remains consistent with the comic aesthetic, but his abilities and health parameters adjust according to the selected role.

Role Descriptions

• Duelist: Deadpool can throw his sword, rotating it like a razor blade to attack enemies.
• Strategist: He possesses healing properties, able to restore allies’ health through gunfire or melee slashes.
• Vanguard: This role allows Deadpool to deploy a spherical shield for defense.

These roles illustrate Deadpool’s unique fighting style. He can also upgrade his skills through a user-friendly, in-game menu. Notably, Deadpool has a special ability that damages opponents who miss their shots. Additionally, the character can take humorous photos with defeated foes, showcasing the game’s lighthearted approach.

Exciting Developments in Season 6

Marvel Rivals’ sixth season introduces several enhancements beyond Deadpool’s arrival. A new map, the Museum of Contemplation, will be available starting January 29. The lobby area, Times Square, is set to receive a photo mode along with The Clobberin’ Club, providing a space for players to battle while streaming their matches to large screens.

Hero Proficiency and Team-Ups System

The hero proficiency system has undergone a comprehensive redesign. It now includes tiered rewards exclusive to specific heroes, offering players incentives like in-game currency and animated avatars. Furthermore, changes are also coming to team-up dynamics:

• Peni will lose her team-up with Rocket.
• Spider-Man will no longer team up with Human Torch.
• New team-ups include Peni joining forces with Spider-Man to grant him a web bomb.
• Jeff will team up with Deadpool to create a spinning toy that heals allies while obstructing enemies’ views with animated Deadpool visuals.

These updates reflect the ongoing evolution of Marvel Rivals, enhancing gameplay and player engagement. For additional insights on Marvel Rivals, including a limited-time Lady Loki skin, fans can explore reviews and updates available on El-Balad.
