He's the best there is at what he does. No seriously, Marvel Rivals DPS Wolverine is broken right now. Due to his long-term affection for Jean Grey, Rivals gave him a Team-Up with New Season 3 DPS Phoenix. Primal Flame grants him the use of Phoenix Force and allows him to burn enemies and get lifesteal while using his Feral Leap ability. Because an invulnerable self-healing DPS who was also on fire was understandably too much, a patch coming July 17 will tone him down.
"In the recently launched Season 3, we observed that Wolverine's new Team-Up Ability with Phoenix has been bringing a bit too much heat to Vanguards," NetEase explains in the newest patch notes.
"This duo's combined power has led to battles for Vanguards feeling less like a hero's journey and more like a mutiny, potentially sidelining key Vanguard heroes. To restore balance and keep the fight epic, we're nerfing Wolverine's Team-Up Ability and dialing down his threat level against the Vanguards in this update. We'll keep a close eye on the hero ecosystem and your battles, so stay tuned for more balance adjustments in future updates."
When the patch goes live, Wolvie's lifestyle healing during Primal Flame will drop from 33 percent to 25 percent. His regenerative healing factor cooldown will go from 90 to 105 seconds, while the cooldown reduction from KOs is going from ten to 12 seconds. His berserk claw strike base damage will increase from six to eight, with his percentage damage at max range dropping to 3.5 percent.
