Marvel Rivals Season 7.5 Update Shakes Up Team-Ups with Major Synergy Changes

The Marvel Rivals Season 7.5 balance changes bring new Team-Up synergies. They now require players to work together while maintaining their specific game roles. Players now achieve better results with compositions that use multiple abilities through strategic timing than they do with setups.

When Does Marvel Rivals Season 7.5 Start?

Season 7.5 starts on April 17, 2026, after server downtime from 09:00 UTC for a duration of about 2 hours. The Marvel Rivals patch notes introduce system-wide improvements and hero-specific adjustments.

Chain-CC Protection Changes the Game

The new Chain-CC Protection system prevents players from being crowd-controlled all the time. All effects will be cleansed when a hero receives 5.5 seconds of CC or 6 CC effects during 7 seconds, and then a Tenacity buff will be activated. The system enables players to reduce incoming CC duration, which can be increased until they achieve complete immunity. The system is defeated by cinematic abilities, which include Emma Frost's ultimate. The system uses a brief cooldown period to maintain balance.
