Marvel Rivals has announced the addition of Human Torch and The Thing in its upcoming Season 1.5 update, completing the Fantastic Four roster within the game. This update will feature unique character trailers and significant balance changes.
Human Torch, known for his aerial combat style, utilizes fireballs and can create damaging flaming areas. His abilities also include a fiery slam that generates an expansive area of effect. In contrast, The Thing serves as a tanky Vanguard character, focusing on aggressive tactics. He can charge into combat, deliver area damage punches, and his ultimate ability creates a shockwave that disrupts enemies.
The patch will also adjust the balance of existing characters. Notably, the developers plan to nerf several Strategist Ultimates, including those of Loki and Cloak and Dagger, to reduce their overpowering presence in the game. Buffs are expected for characters like Hawkeye, while others, such as Doctor Strange and Magneto, will face nerfs.
