Marvel Rivals Version 20260612 introduces sweeping changes across the roster: Angela gains speed and a stronger shield; Devil Dinosaur is nerfed with reduced damage, survivability, and CC plus a longer buddy-barrier cooldown; Magneto’s Ultimate lasts longer and hits harder; Rogue, Blade, Cloak & Dagger, Namor, Elsa, Deadpool, and Adam Warlock receive notable buffs to mobility, healing, or damage.
