Iron Man Extrembiote skin lands in the shop

Outside the mini-pass, a fresh store-exclusive has also launched: the Iron Man Extrembiote Armor. This legendary skin costs 2,200 units and includes several unique upgrades. Tony Stark appears fused with a Symbiote, glowing green eyes, visible facial features, and infested armor details.

His intro shows him riding the massive Symbiote Dragon, adding flair to any match start. The bundle includes a fun emote where he looks into a mirror and gives the infamous chin rub “riz face” showcasing Marvel’s nod to meme culture.

What’s missing from the visual side is a deeper layer of in-game effects. While his abilities sound different with custom Symbiote audio on missiles, reloads, and shots, the visual effects are surprisingly minimal. Expect a VFX upgrade bundle to be sold later, which is becoming common practice in Marvel Rivals Season 3 brings epic skins.

New emotes, duo animations and balance changes

This week also marks the debut of group emotes in Marvel Rivals Season 3 brings epic skins. The first is “My Baby and Me” starring Jeff the Land Shark and Emma Frost.

Blade received a buff, increasing his Bloodline Awakening lifesteal from 60% to 65% and reducing healing reduction from 40% to 35%. This effectively boosts his total healing by 6%.
Human Torch took a hit. His Flame Field tick damage dropped from 25/s to 20/s, and Pyro-Prison now deals 40/s instead of 50/s. Less fire spam means less frustration.
Loki was also nerfed. His main attack damage went down from 30 to 25, impacting both him and his clones. Healing values remain the same.
