Marvel Rivals season 6.5 early patch notes – Elsa Bloodstone, new Team-Up abilities, and more

Love is in the air, and so is a new Marvel Rivals update.

Elsa Bloodstone is the highlight of the new patch, joining the game as a Duelist hero who brings her monster-hunting skills to the battle to disrupt the enemy’s front line and even summon a monster to destroy anything in its path.

While the bulk of the notes are incoming, here’s everything we know so far about the new Marvel Rivals update coming on Valentine’s weekend.

New hero: Elsa Bloodstone

Monster hunter Elsa Bloodstone is a Duelist in Marvel Rivals. She uses multiple weapons like an elephant gun to apply pressure and build up her Instinct ability, which will help lower her cooldowns. She is able to set a trap to stun enemies, and her ultimate sees her spawn in a monster called Glartox to smash through enemy teams.
