In this guide, we’ll explain how the Season bonuses work inMarvel Rivalsand how you can use them to get an edge over your opponents.
What are Season Bonuses in Marvel Rivals?
The Season Bonus inMarvel Rivalsis a season-exclusive feature that buffs certain heroes with stat enhancement. The three primary stats in the game are Health, Damage, and Healing. The boost that a hero will get depends on their team role.
Here’s a list of all active Season Bonuses for the heroes inMarvel RivalsSeason 0:
Strategist
+15% Healing Boost
As you can see, Vanguards, who serve primarily as tanks in the game, have their maximum HP increased by a certain amount. On the other hand, Duelists get a percentage boost to their damage, whereasStrategists get a percentage healing bonus.
For example,Venom is a Vanguardhero with 650 base health. However, in Season 0, he has an active Season Bonus of 150 bonus health, putting his maximum HP at 800, allowing him to tank more hits from the enemy.
How to Check Season Bonuses in Marvel Rivals
The heroes with an active Season Bonus have a unique icon in their hero portrait that you can see during the selection stage when a match begins. Once you select the hero, click the Team-Up Ability button above the selected heroes to see a list ofall Team-Up Abilities. Now, hover your cursor over the heroes with the Season Bonuses icon to check the enhancement. Alternatively, you can press F2 on your keyboard if you’re playing on a PC to check the Team-Up Abilities during the hero selection stage.
Even though these boosts areshown under Team-Up Ability, you don’t need to activate the Team-Up to get the Seasonal Bonuses.
Keep in mind that the Seasonal Bonus will change every season. That means the Season Boosts that are active right now might change as we move on to the next season of the game.
