Marvel Rivals Season 2.5 launched on May 30, 2025, adding Ultron and the Hellfire Gala: Arakko Convoy map alongside extensive hero balance changes. The official patch notes are dated May 23, while the Version 20250530 balance post was published May 22. The values below describe that historical update—not the game’s current live balance.
What Season 2.5 added
Season 2.5’s headline additions were Ultron as a playable hero and Hellfire Gala: Arakko, a new Convoy map. The developer described the update as bringing six Team-Ups in, removing four, and adjusting one; it also said more than 50% of Team-Ups had been revamped since Season 0.

Interface, competitive, and platform updates
- A Mood System was added for nameplates and bubble emojis, with team-lobby recommendations, revised nameplate information, and Lord avatars in hero selection.
- Career System customization and statistics were expanded. Rank rewards included Ultron – Golden Ultron for Gold and Crests of Honor for specified high ranks.
- Tournament Rooms gained controls for copying room names and passwords, limiting movement to the host, showing captain and delegation indicators, ending a match immediately, and experimental automatic server-node selection.
- Spectators gained toggles for outlines, health bars, and names, plus a camera-collision toggle.
- PC players gained a Performance Test under Display settings to stress-test hardware and identify performance bottlenecks. Console players gained optional cursor snapping during hero selection.
Fixes
The patch addressed map terrain, collision, and audio issues; a first-launch spray/emote shortcut issue; and hero-specific problems involving Emma Frost, Peni Parker, Loki, Doctor Strange, The Punisher, Black Panther, and Adam Warlock. It also included PC shader-compilation fixes and PS5 wheel/input fixes. Official Version 20250530 patch notes

Vanguard balance changes
| Hero | Season 2.5 changes | Practical read |
|---|---|---|
| Captain America | Base health: 600→575. Living Legend shield recovery delay: 2→4 seconds. Freedom Charge energy cost: 2,800→3,100. | Less base durability, a longer wait for shield recovery, and a more expensive Ultimate. |
| Doctor Strange | Daggers of Denak damage at 20m: 62.5%→80% (falloff still begins at 10m). Maelstrom of Madness no longer has range-based damage falloff. | Both changes improve damage at range compared with the previous falloff behavior. |
| Emma Frost | Telepathic Pulse range: 15.5m→18m. Mind’s Aegis shield: 500→400. Carbon Crush cooldown: 5→6 seconds. Crystal Kick hit damage: 50→40; extra damage when propelled into a wall: 100→90. | More reach for Telepathic Pulse, offset by reductions to shield strength and several attack or cooldown values. |
| Groot | Vine Strike damage per hit: 70→65. Ironwood Wall cooldown: 8→12 seconds. | Lower attack damage and a longer wait between Ironwood Walls. |
| Magneto | Ring charging time per stack: 4→3 seconds. | Stacks charge faster. |
| Thor | Hammer Throw became a standard ability: it costs no Thorforce, has no universal cooldown, and has a 6-second ability cooldown; hits grant 1 Thorforce. Throw damage: 70→45; return damage: 30→20. Bonus Health per Thorforce consumed: 100→75; maximum Bonus Health: 200→150. | The ability is no longer tied to Thorforce, but its damage and the Bonus Health it can provide were reduced. |
Duelist balance changes
| Hero | Season 2.5 changes | Practical read |
|---|---|---|
| Hawkeye | Base arrow damage: 32→34. Blast Arrow projectile damage: 15→16; spell-field damage: 32→34. Maximum focus: 70→75. Focus charge while aiming at an enemy: 100/s→108/s; charge falloff speed: 30/s→32/s. | Higher listed damage and focus limits and faster focus gain while aiming, with the charge falloff speed also increased. |
| Hela | Nightsword Thorn charge capacity: 8→10. | Two additional charges. |
| Human Torch | Fire Cluster damage per hit: 7→6. Blazing Blast charge time: 2→3 seconds. Flaming Meteor shield: 75→50; cooldown: 15→20 seconds. | Lower Fire Cluster damage and a slower, less frequent Flaming Meteor with a smaller shield. |
| Iron Fist | Dragon’s Defense blocked-damage Bonus Health conversion: 1.5→1.3; maximum conversion: 200→175. Untargeted Yat Jee Chung Kuen z-axis dash distance reduced. Jeet Kune Do cooldown reduction for Dragon’s Defense: 1.5→1 second. | Reduced Bonus Health conversion and vertical dash distance; Jeet Kune Do now reduces Dragon’s Defense cooldown by less. |
| Iron Man | Gamma Overdrive was removed from Gamma Charge; Stark Protocol added a new Team-Up Anchor effect. Third Repulsor Blast projectile damage: 50→45; spell-field damage: 60→55. Armor Overdrive maximum Bonus Health: 100→50. | The Team-Up interaction changed, while the listed Repulsor Blast damage and maximum Bonus Health decreased. |
| Namor | Blessing of the Deep cooldown: 15→20 seconds. Horn of Proteus inner radius: 3m→3.5m; outer radius: 8m→9m; outer-radius hit damage: 200→180. Monstro Spawn damage at 40m: 30%→50% (falloff begins at 20m). | Longer Blessing of the Deep cooldown; Horn of Proteus covers a wider area but deals less damage at its outer radius. Monstro Spawn retains more damage at 40m. |
| Psylocke | Wing Shurikens retrieval damage: 14→12 per hit. Psychic Stealth invisibility: 3→2 seconds. | Lower retrieval damage and shorter invisibility. |
| Squirrel Girl | Burst Acorn capacity: 10→12. Mammal Bond cooldown: 12→10 seconds. The experience for Squirrel Blockade, Tail Bounce, and Unbeatable Squirrel Tsunami was optimized. | More Burst Acorns and a shorter Mammal Bond cooldown; the experience optimization is not quantified in the notes. |

Strategist balance changes
| Hero | Season 2.5 changes | Practical read |
|---|---|---|
| Jeff the Land Shark | Joyful Splash now deals 70 damage/s to enemies and can heal allies through other units. Damage falloff starts at 20m and reaches 65% at 40m; healing: 150/s→130/s. Aqua Burst became a three-charge ability with 3 seconds per charge; direct hits launch enemies and spell-field damage: 40→45. Healing Bubble changed from one-time healing to 120 over 4 seconds; maximum charges: 6→3; enemy launch removed. Hide and Seek gained a 120 energy cap, draining 20/s underwater and restoring 15/s otherwise. Overflow healing on swallowed allies with It’s Jeff! grants 45 Health/s as Bonus Health up to 150. Critical-hit damage reduction: 50%→70%. | A broad ability redesign: Joyful Splash can damage enemies and heal through units, Aqua Burst uses charges, and Healing Bubble trades charges and enemy launch for healing over time. Other listed changes alter energy, overflow healing, and critical-hit resistance. |
| Luna Snow | Light & Dark Ice healing and damage: 20→22 per round. Absolute Zero grants 50 Bonus Health per enemy hit. Fate of Both Worlds energy cost: 4,500→5,000. | Higher per-round healing and damage and a new Bonus Health effect, alongside a more expensive Ultimate. |
| Rocket Raccoon | Repair Mode direct-hit healing: 55→50. | Lower healing on a direct hit. |

These are the developers’ Season 2.5 changes, not evidence of how each hero performed afterward. A reduced cooldown or increased damage can point in a favorable direction for a particular mechanic, but patch notes alone do not establish overall strength, pick rates, win rates, or competitive results. Later updates may also have changed the live game.
