Marvel Rivals Season 6.5: Elsa Bloodstone, Adam Warlock Flight, and Full Patch Notes

Elsa Bloodstone joins Marvel Rivals as a new Duelist on February 13, 2026, as the centerpiece of the Season 6.5 mid-season update. NetEase confirmed the character, the release date, and her Duelist role — but the full kit reveal is still pending.

The Marvel Rivals community has been speculating about Elsa since data miners found her files weeks ago, and the discussion has ranged from “she’ll have a multi-weapon kit like her comics” to “she’s basically a Widowmaker clone.” Here’s what’s actually confirmed, what the community datamines suggest, and what it means for the current meta. If you’re looking to sharpen your ranked game before the new Duelist drops, Eloking’s Marvel Rivals boosting can help you climb while the meta is still settled.^[1]

What’s Confirmed About Elsa Bloodstone

NetEase has officially confirmed the following:

Character: Elsa Bloodstone, the monster-hunting daughter of Ulysses Bloodstone from Marvel Comics. She first appeared in Bloodstone #1 (2001) and has been a recurring character in various Marvel titles.

Role: Duelist. She’s not a Strategist or Vanguard — she’s designed to frag. The Duelist roster in Marvel Rivals currently leans heavily toward burst-damage heroes (Punisher, Black Widow, Hawkeye), and Elsa joins that category.

Release Date: February 13, 2026, as part of the Season 6.5 mid-season update.

Dev Vision Stream: The full kit reveal was scheduled for the February 11 Dev Vision stream, which is tomorrow at time of writing. Everything below about her specific abilities comes from community datamines and developer hints, not official announcements.

That’s everything that’s confirmed. The rest requires caveats.

Community Datamines: The Multi-Weapon Kit Theory

Community datamines suggest Elsa will have a multi-weapon kit — the ability to swap between different firearms depending on the engagement range. Based on her comic appearances, the most commonly predicted weapons are:

Revolver — Precision mid-range damage. In the comics, Elsa uses a custom revolver with supernatural ammunition. If this translates literally, expect a high-damage, low-fire-rate primary weapon that rewards accuracy.

Shotgun — Close-range burst. Elsa’s comics feature her clearing monsters at close quarters with shotguns. The dataminers found what appears to be a spread-fire alternate weapon mode.

Marksman Rifle — Long-range option. This is the least certain of the three — some datamines suggest a scoped mode rather than a separate weapon.

Important caveat: None of the above is officially confirmed. Datamined files can reflect earlier builds, scrapped concepts, or placeholder assets. The Dev Vision on February 11 is the authoritative source.

What the Multi-Weapon Approach Would Mean for the Meta

If the multi-weapon kit is real, Elsa would be the first Marvel Rivals Duelist who doesn’t have a fixed engagement range. Current Duelists occupy clear niches: Black Widow is long-range, Punisher is mid-range, Squirrel Girl is close-range. A hero who can flex across all three ranges would be either the most versatile pick in the game or a master-of-none who does everything at 70% effectiveness.

The tradeoff is inherent: a multi-weapon kit gives flexibility at every range, but it also means a higher skill floor. You can’t just pick Elsa up and one-trick a single weapon — you need to know when to swap and what each weapon is optimal for. In ranked play, that typically means she’ll trend weaker in entry tiers and stronger in top tiers — the classic mechanical-skill-gate pattern.

There’s also the question of weapon-swap speed. If swapping is instant, she’s potentially broken. If it has a cast time, she has vulnerability windows that coordinated teams can punish. This single detail — which we don’t know yet — determines whether Elsa is a pick or a permaban.

Preparing for Season 6.5

How to Prep Your Pool Before Launch

Before day one, lock at least one Duelist and one Strategist pairing, then run practice sets against dive comps. If you need structured duo reps, the Eloking Marketplace is useful for finding role specialists and testing anti-burst setups.

Even without knowing Elsa’s exact kit, there are concrete steps you can take right now:

1. Play the current Duelist roster. Understanding the weaknesses of existing Duelists tells you what gaps Elsa might fill. If you struggle against Black Widow at range, Elsa’s revolver mode might play similarly. If you’re comfortable against Punisher at mid-range, the shotgun mode will change that dynamic.

2. Practice counter-Duelist strategies. Every time a new Duelist drops, the first week is dominated by players trying her. That means fewer Vanguards and Strategists in queue. If you play Strategist, you’ll face comps with 2-3 Duelists — learn how to heal through burst damage windows.

3. Watch the Dev Vision stream on February 11 before locking your ranked pool. Once the full kit is revealed, the community theory-crafting will shift from speculation to actionable counter-strategies. Don’t make team composition changes based on datamines — wait for the official reveal.

Here’s where things stand: Elsa Bloodstone is confirmed as a Duelist launching February 13. Her multi-weapon kit is strongly suggested by datamines but not officially confirmed. The Dev Vision stream on February 11 is the authoritative source for her full abilities. Until then, the best preparation is understanding the current Duelist matchups and being ready to adapt.^[2]

Full Season 6.5 Balance Changes: 17 Heroes Adjusted

Beyond Elsa Bloodstone, Season 6.5 delivers one of the largest balance patches in Marvel Rivals history. Here’s every confirmed change across all three roles, with exact numbers from the official patch notes.

Adam Warlock Gets Flight

The single biggest change in this patch. Adam Warlock gains a new flight mode at 10 meters per second for up to 4 seconds on full energy, recharging from zero to max in 15 seconds. On top of that, Soul Bond now lets him hover and attack simultaneously — previously, activating it locked him in place, which made him an easy dive target. The flight is a repositioning tool, not a traversal mechanic: 4 seconds of airtime means you’re dodging ultimates or reaching high ground for better healing angles, but you’re not crossing the map. Burn your energy at the wrong time and you’re grounded for a meaningful 15-second window.

Vanguard Changes

Doctor Strange: Shield of the Seraphim recovery speed drops from 70/s to 60/s — roughly 14% slower shield regen, making sustained poke more effective against him.

Rogue: Defensive Stance energy conversion jumps from 0.27 to 0.35, and Fatal Attraction cooldown drops from 17s to 14s. Three fewer seconds between pulls makes her crowd control significantly more oppressive.

Thor: Hammer Throw now grants 50 bonus health on hit (once per throw), but Storm Surge bonus health drops from 75 to 50 — shifting power from passive stacking toward active play.

Venom: Base health increases from 650 to 675. Feast of the Abyss damage-to-bonus-health conversion goes from 1.0 to 1.3, making his ult significantly more rewarding.

Duelist Changes

Psylocke: Psionic Crossbow damage falloff at 30m tightens from 60% to 70%. Dance of the Butterfly ult damage drops from 170 to 160 per hit — a meaningful burst reduction.

Phoenix: Base health drops from 275 to 250. Twenty-five HP might not sound like much, but in Marvel Rivals’ fast TTK, it’s often the difference between surviving a stray hit and dying.

Storm: Weather Control — Tornado now grants up to 75 Bonus Health with Wind Blade and Bolt Rush. Thunder reduces Bolt Rush cooldown on Wind Blade hits. Ally buffs from Thunder & Lightning now decay over 2 seconds instead of vanishing instantly.

Quick hits: Deadpool gets more healing from Pop Quiz. Moon Knight’s Moon Blade bonus health drops from 100 to 75. Squirrel Girl’s uncharged Blockade projectile speed jumps from 20m/s to 30m/s. Star-Lord’s Galactic Legend costs 3,100 energy instead of 3,400.

Strategist Nerfs

Invisible Woman: Force Physics cooldown increases from 8s to 10s — a 25% longer wait on one of the most disruptive abilities in the game.

Loki: Mystical Missile charges drop from 12 to 10, limiting poke output in extended fights.

Ultron: Patch drone detach range increases (exact values not yet confirmed).

Team-Up Shakeup

The Fantastic Four Team-Up is completely removed. Replacing it is Psionic Mayhem — a new Team-Up for Invisible Woman and Doctor Strange, with Invisible Woman as the anchor. Mr. Pool’s Interdimensional Toy Box, Gamma Charge, and Rocket Network also see adjustments. If you’ve been building compositions around the Fantastic Four synergy, that strategy is gone starting February 13.
