Venom’s Bubble Pop will end with Season 2.5, so make sure to complete quests and claim rewards. On the free track, there’s a Future Foundation Human Torch skin, and on the Premium track there’s a baby pink Venom.

The Thing can now take down flying enemies

The Thing gets a brand new ability in Season 3 called Battle Blitz. He leaps toward enemies, gaining 25% Damage Reduction, while grounding targets. Leap targeting distance to enemies is 20 meters. This should bring the Hero back into the fight, as he was somewhat outmatched in Season 2.5’s flying-dominited meta.

Hela also gets a slowing effect to her Orb ability, joining Jeff and Venom for Symbiote Shenanigans.

Make sure you’ve reached Gold rank before Season 3 drops

Reach Gold Rank before the end of Season 2.5 to earn the Golden Ultron skin once the new season launches. You don’t have to stay in Gold, just make sure to get there at least once. You’ll be de-ranked by seven levels tomorrow, so climb as high as you can to give yourself a head start in Season 3.

Klyntar: Celestial Husk joins the map rotation
(Image credit: NetEase)
There’s a new Domination map arriving tomorrow (July 11). Klyntar: Celestial Husk is where Knull has been hiding all of this time, and it’s appropriately covered in all kinds of weird symbiote structures. It’s a fun addition, one that really encourages Duelists to flank and find off-angles.

There’s a symbiote Storm skin that can be earned for free in Marvel Rivals Season 3. It’s the main reward for the new limited-time event, and it looks absolutely awesome.

NetEase has now revealed the Battle Pass skins for Season 3, and they’re glorious. There are symbiote skins for Jeff, Squirrel Girl, Groot, and Spider-Man, and even a golden Black Panther skin. It’s definitely my favorite Battle Pass so far, and I can’t wait to unlock the final reward.

Phoenix enters the battle

Phoenix is the new Hero being added this season. She’s a Duelist who excels at range. In my testing, I’ve found her to be very powerful indeed, functioning similarly to Hela, but with lots more movement abilities. Her Ultimate is particularly good at clearing space around an objective, as it destroys support passives like spider mines and Loki clones.

There’s still time to make the most of Season 2.5
(Image credit: NetEase)
Given that Season 3 is still a day away, you can jump into Marvel Rivals now and clear up any remaining missions, event quests, and Battle Pass rewards while you wait. The Venom’s Bubble Pop event is still live, and it’s well worth working through. Be sure to check the event rewards tab to earn items before they expire.

Since the launch of Season 0, I’ve played hundreds of hours of the game, mostly maining Venom, Mr Fantastic, Mantis, and Magneto. With the arrival of Phoenix, I’ve managed to get early access to Season 3 and have been busy testing out the new Hero.
