Marvel Rivals is a 6v6 third-person hero shooter from NetEase Games in collaboration with Disney's Marvel Games. It is a free-to-play title available across all current-generation platforms. Built on Unreal Engine 5, the game launched with eight original maps based on iconic landmarks seen in Marvel movies and comics.
Since its launch in December last year, the game has evolved with a large roster of characters with seasonal additions like the Fantastic Four. With the new upcoming Season 3.5 update, Marvel Rivals players are getting the infamous vampire hunter Blade. Here's a look at his abilities in Marvel Rivals.
Marvel Rivals: Blade 101
Let us begin with a rundown of Blade in Marvel Rivals. Blade is a dynamic Duelist character with the ability to take medium and short-range fights. Here's a complete overview of Blade's move set:
- Blade Chopper: Use Dracula's Sword to slash in front of you, inflicting damage to the enemy hit.
- Hunting Gun: Use a hunting shotgun to fire a long-range explosive fragmentation round that delivers a large amount of shrapnel at the point of detonation.
- Step and Chop: Sprint forward; if wielding a gun, shoot an enemy and apply to reduce healing; if wielding a sword, slash an enemy and apply to reduce movement speed.
- Blood Liberation: Activate vampiric bloodline, all blood becomes Dracula's blood, gain stronger senses, can't be healed at this time, but can restore Dracula's blood by inflicting damage.
- Ultimate: After building up your strength for a short period of time, you quickly unsheathe your sword and charge forward while releasing a powerful chop, leaving Dracula's Sword frantically chopping the area behind you.
Blade is the second character to join the hero roster in Season 3.5, with the members of X-Men coming in the next seasonal update. From the looks of his abilities, it is apparent that Blade will be a worthy duelist to dominate the close-range gameplay meta of Season 3.
