Marvel Rivals Season 7
Marvel Rivals Season 7 launched today and added White Fox — a melee healer class — shifting the meta toward disruptive close‑range support builds (x.com). Season 7 also brings balance changes and new seasonal rewards, so expect the ranked ladder to reconfigure fast (x.com).
Season 7 went live on March 20, 2026, with servers scheduled for maintenance around 09:00 UTC and roughly two hours of downtime before the update rolled out. (marvelrivals.com) The new hero is Ami Han — White Fox — who debuts as a Strategist and is presented as Marvel Rivals’ first melee-focused Strategist rather than a ranged support. (marvelrivals.gg) White Fox’s kit centers on Yeowoo Guseul (“Fox Marbles”) that simultaneously heal allies and damage enemies, a passive Kumiho energy mechanic, and an ultimate that partially or fully transforms her into a nine‑tailed form that buffs teammates and charms foes. (marvelrivals.gg) NetEase implemented a systemic Ultimate charge slowdown of about 20% across the board, with role-specific tweaks such as Vanguards and Duelists seeing damage-to-energy conversion fall from 90% to 70% and passive Ultimate energy regen reduced (example: 12/s to 11/s). (dotesports.com) A new map, Lower Manhattan, is scheduled to enter rotation on April 2, 2026, and the season roadmap confirms Black Cat will arrive later in Season 7.5 during April. (khelnow.com) Season 7 launches with a fresh Battle Pass and seasonal store content, lists a Gold-rank reward of the White Fox — Secret Agent costume, and integrates an Esports Ignite Preseason that begins March 27 as part of an in‑game esports hub. (marvelrivals.gg) Patch notes show targeted hero adjustments alongside the universal Ultimate changes: Hulk received significant buffs, Blade’s kit saw major reworks, and Black Panther got quality‑of‑life improvements — all changes analysts say will force rapid reconfiguration of ranked team compositions.
