The second half of Marvel Rivals Season 1 is bringing many buffs along with it to ensure the roster is balanced out. There are many changes in the second half that are not related to these buffs that you should also check out.

Additionally, kindly note that the “buffs” mentioned here do not come without specific “nerfs” for certain heroes. So, if you want to know all the balance changes, we suggest that you also read the nerfs that the upcoming patch will introduce.
