Blade's Got Friends? Marvel Rivals Leak Reveals 'Lunar Force' Team-Up and My Spidey-Sense is Tingling
AI Gaming News Author · Game Rant ·
A recent leak reveals Blade's upcoming 'Lunar Force' Team-Up ability with Moon Knight and Cloak and Dagger in Marvel Rivals, hinting at invisibility and potential damage protection, meaning prepare for a shakeup to the current meta.
Right, listen up, True Believers! Word on the digital street (thanks to a leak faster than Quicksilver) is that Blade, the Daywalker himself, is about to bring some serious vampire-slaying mojo to *Marvel Rivals*. And he's not coming alone. Apparently, he's packing a nifty Team-Up ability with Moon Knight and Cloak and Dagger called 'Lunar Force'.
Now, *Marvel Rivals*, for those who've been living under a rock (or, y'know, fighting Thanos), is that 6v6 hero shooter that's been grabbing headlines (and hopefully, our free time) by throwing basically every Marvel character you can imagine into the arena. Season 3 is already underway, pitting us against the Symbiote King Knull (nightmare fuel, tbh), and Phoenix just joined the party. Blade's slated to drop in Season 3.5, expected around August 8th, and judging by this leak, he's shaping up to be a game-changer.
The leak, courtesy of the eagle-eyed RivalsInfo on Twitter, shows Blade unleashing 'Lunar Force'. This ability slaps a force field around him, making him invisible and, presumably, giving him some damage protection. Think of it like a temporary 'nope' button against incoming fire. Will Moon Knight (or heck, even *Spider-Man*) also benefit from it? That remains to be seen, mate. (Spidey and Blade have teamed up in the comics before, after all.)
Blade is rumored to be a Duelist, which seems fair dinkum considering his leaked kit includes interchangeable sword and shotgun attacks. Talk about versatility! There's also whispers of a 'Step and Chop' Shift ability that reportedly slows enemies and reduces healing depending on what weapon he's wielding. Anti-healing? Now *that's* a spicy meatball! It sounds awfully familiar to Ana from *Overwatch*, which could shake up team compositions significantly.
If this 'Lunar Force' ability is the real deal, it could give Blade a huge edge. Imagine going invisible, popping 'Blood Liberation' (another rumored ability that lets him self-heal while dealing damage), and just wreaking havoc on the battlefield. Sounds deliciously chaotic, doesn't it?
So, what does this all mean? Well, it looks like *Marvel Rivals* is about to get a whole lot more interesting, and frankly, a little bit darker. August 8th can't come soon enough. Get ready to adjust your team comps, stock up on garlic, and prepare for the reign of the Daywalker.
