Fantastic Four Joins Battle in Marvel Rivals

The new season of our favorite game has kicked off with a bang, introducing the iconic Fantastic Four characters to the roster! With a total of 33 heroes already available, it's thrilling to see the developers continue to expand the universe with this new quartet. Currently, Mister Fantastic and Invisible Woman have joined the fray, with Thing and Human Torch set to follow, adding a tank and a duelist to the team, respectively. They'll also be part of the Team-Up Fantastic Four, enhancing gameplay dynamics.

Who Are the New Heroes?

Invisible Woman and Mister Fantastic are the first to grace the battlefield. Their unique abilities not only add depth to the game but also bring fresh strategies to the table.

Invisible Woman

The addition of Invisible Woman is a boon for players who enjoy the support role. With relatively few support characters in the game, her inclusion diversifies gameplay significantly.

Her attacks are unique; they can pass through multiple characters, damaging foes while healing allies. This makes her particularly effective in crowded battles, though her range is limited, so staying close to teammates is crucial.

Invisible Woman's ability to turn invisible is intriguing but challenging to utilize effectively. She must remain inactive for 6 seconds to become invisible, which is a long time in the heat of battle. However, once invisible, she can heal, adding a strategic layer to her gameplay. A quicker way to vanish is through a double jump, which is perfect for escaping danger.

Using the right mouse button, she can deploy a shield in front of an ally, which, while fragile, can be moved to heal those around it. Her ability to attract and repel opponents adds versatility to her kit, with repelling being useful for self-defense and attracting helping allies close the gap on enemies.

She can also launch a sphere that pulls enemies into a damaging area, ideal for controlling narrow passages and dealing with groups. Her melee combo can push enemies away, though it's often impractical due to its duration. Her ultimate ability creates a healing and invisibility zone for the team, though its static nature makes it vulnerable to area attacks.

Overall, Invisible Woman is a balanced character, offering tactical options and team support, though she doesn't outshine top-tier supports like Luna Snow and Mantis.

Mister Fantastic

Mister Fantastic brings a fun and unique playstyle to the game, thanks to his stretchy powers.

His attacks can reach enemies at medium range, and by aiming sideways, his fists can hit multiple targets. As he uses abilities and attacks, a meter fills up, and once full, he transforms into an inflated form, increasing his damage and durability.

Using "Shift," he can absorb damage for a few seconds before releasing it in a powerful shot. He can also attract characters, gaining a shield, and if it's an enemy, dealing damage, which is great for battlefield mobility and survivability.

With the right mouse button, he can stretch his arm to immobilize an opponent, then either pull them closer or grab another and throw them into the air. His ultimate ability involves a jump followed by an area attack that slows and damages enemies, repeating if he hits at least one target.

Mister Fantastic straddles the line between a duelist and a tank, offering strong but not top-tier performance.

The introduction of these characters has been met with positive feedback, showcasing the developers' commitment to adding unique and engaging heroes. We eagerly await the arrival of Thing and Human Torch to complete the Fantastic Four lineup.
