Season 4 of Marvel Rivals has finally landed, confirming long-simmering rumors with a bang. The update introduces Angela—Thor’s enigmatic sister—as the launch hero, whisks players to the mystical realm of K’un-Lun for fresh battlegrounds, and teases summer-themed skins for favorites like Punisher and Invisible Woman. But the real buzz centers on Matt Murdock, aka Daredevil, slated for a midseason debut. Fans are scratching their heads over one burning question: Will the Devil of Hell’s Kitchen brawl as a sturdy Vanguard or a flashy Duelist? NetEase’s track record suggests they love throwing curveballs, so buckle up for surprises.
Hold your horses, though—this ain’t your grandpa’s Daredevil. Dubbed "Dizang," he’s sporting dragon-granted powers from K’un-Lun and armor thick enough to make Iron Man do a double-take. Those slender horns and glowing emblem? Pure eye candy. But it’s the chunky plating that’s got Vanguard hopefuls grinning like kids in a candy store. After all, who wouldn’t want the Man Without Fear soaking up damage like a cosmic sponge? Yet seasoned players are side-eyeing the hype, whispering, "Not so fast."
Let’s cut to the chase: Bulk doesn’t equal Vanguard status in Marvel Rivals. Just peek at these beefy bruisers who pack a punch as Duelists:
-
⚔️ Wolverine: Claws out, health bar be damned.
-
🔫 The Punisher: Heavy artillery, zero tankiness.
-
🧪 Mr. Fantastic: Stretchy survivability? Still DPS.
-
🧛 Blade: Daywalker muscles focused on damage.
Murdock’s devil-form teaser during the Angela face-off trailer adds fuel to the fire—it screams transformation mechanic, à la Magik’s Darkchild shift or Reed’s Hulk-mode moments. Creative Director Guangguang’s recent Rivals Assembled chat poured cold water on Vanguard dreams too, hinting fixes for role imbalances might take months due to pre-baked seasonal plans. Translation? We’re likely stuck with a Duelist drought-breaker, not a tanky tandem with Angela. Oof.
Leaks haven’t steered us wrong lately—Angela and Daredevil rumors hit bullseyes weeks early—so insider scoops on Dizang’s kit could drop any day. Will ability descriptions or stealth gameplay footage spill the beans? Probably. But even if NetEase plays coy, October’s midseason update is just around the corner. Angela’s electrifying debut should make the wait fly by in a blink.
For now, the community’s divided. Some pray Daredevil defies logic to join Lord Magneto in the Vanguard hall of fame. Others shrug, figuring he’ll drown in the Duelist pool. Either way, Matt Murdock’s video game redemption arc is long overdue—fingers crossed he kicks butt in style. Ready to see Hell’s Kitchen’s finest in action?
