  • Many players are eager to try the new hero in lobbies, causing frustration for Strategist mains.
  • Fans find both Invisible Woman and Mister Fantastic to be powerful additions and are looking forward to more Fantastic Four characters.

Marvel Rivals fans have taken to social media to express excitement about Invisible Woman and her abilities. The new hero launched at the start of Season 1, which features Dracula as the game's main antagonist. Gamers have been flocking to experience the newest season of the popular hero shooter as Marvel Rivals broke its concurrent player record on Steam with over 640,000 active users.

Invisible Woman is a new Strategist in Marvel Rivals, which means she has abilities that provide both healing and support for her teammates. The hero's primary ability penetrates characters in a straight line, healing teammates while dishing out damage to foes. Meanwhile, her secondary ability places a healing shield in front of allies that also blocks damage. Her ultimate ability creates a powerful healing zone that also makes all allies invisible to enemies outside the zone.

Marvel Rivals Battle Pass Has Two Free Skins for All Players

NetEase Games surprises fans of the popular hero shooter by including two free skins for all players in Marvel Rivals' Season 1 battle pass.

A recent post by Reddit user jayvancealot shows an image of four players trying to select Marvel Rivals' Invisible Woman at the same time. Many gamers said they've experienced the same thing in their lobbies, as most of the community seems eager to try out the new hero. Some people who typically only play Strategists said they finally had a chance to try out Duelist and Vanguard characters, as their team already had enough support heroes. While many people were excited to see so many fans clamoring to play a healer, other Strategist players were frustrated by the inability to try the new hero in their favorite role.

Marvel Rivals Lobbies Are Full of Fans Eager to Play as Invisible Woman

Another post on Reddit by user BigPaleontologist520 asked players how they're feeling about the new Strategist. Many gamers expressed that Marvel Rivals' version of Invisible Woman feels powerful without being unbalanced. Some noted that they appreciate the ability to shove away dive tanks like Thor and Hulk, giving the healer more ways to avoid danger during a match. Of course, many noted that the character's passive ability to turn invisible makes her a huge asset, allowing her to maneuver around the battlefield unseen.

Mister Fantastic was added to Marvel Rivals alongside Invisible Woman and has also proven to be a powerful addition to the game's ever-expanding roster. While the hero is labeled as a Duelist, he also has a lot of ways to mitigate incoming damage and boost his health. Many fans seem to feel the character could have been labeled a Vanguard, as his abilities would also feel appropriate for a tank. With two more Fantastic Four characters on the way in Season 1, many fans are understandably excited about the future of Marvel Rivals.
