Marvel Rivals is gearing up for season 9.5 with major Vanguard adjustments alongside a teaser for its next hero, The Hood

Marvel Rivals has announced the upcoming season 9.5, which will introduce new adjustments to Vanguards and a teaser for the next hero, The Hood. The season sees most Vanguards receiving buffs, with Devil Dinosaur, Doctor Strange, Magneto, and Rogue all experiencing minor adjustments. Devil Dinosaur's Frenzied Feast and Team-Up ability with Jeff have been buffed, Doctor Strange's Daggers of Denak now deal more single-hit damage, Magneto's Metallic Chaos projectile adds a minor launch up effect, and Rogue's damage reduction and Regen Shield capacity have both increased.

On the other hand, Venom's bonus health has been reduced and his swing cooldown has increased, while Peni Parker's control and survivability have been slightly weakened. The Hood, a new Vanguard, will be introduced in the season, with his design resembling Gun Devil from Chainsaw Man, familiar kits from other Marvel Rivals heroes, and potential similarities to Overwatch's Shion.
