Marvel Rivals 20250314 Patch Notes: Every Change Explained
The Marvel Rivals version 20250314 patch notes cover a small mid-Season 1.5 update that went live on March 13, 2025 at 09:00 UTC with no server downtime. It buffed Human Torch and Cloak and Dagger, reworked Iron Man’s damage split, added a Raw Input mouse option, started Adam Warlock Twitch Drops and fixed nine hero bugs.
Everything here is taken from NetEase’s official version 20250314 patch notes and balance post, both published March 11, 2025. Keep in mind this is a 2025 patch: Marvel Rivals is in Season 10.5 as of October 2026, and every hero below has been changed again since, so use the numbers as history, not as current values.
What changed in Marvel Rivals patch 20250314?
Three heroes, one setting, one event. NetEase said the goal was to keep the variety of team compositions that appeared after The Thing and Human Torch arrived (rush comps, double flyers, three-Vanguard lineups) and only touch “a handful of heroes” before Season 2.
| Hero | Change | Before | After |
|---|---|---|---|
| Human Torch | Fire Cluster projectile speed | 120 m/s | 150 m/s |
| Human Torch | Fire Cluster projectile count | 12 | 14 |
| Human Torch | Supernova energy cost | 3,400 | 4,000 |
| Human Torch | Supernova activation wave damage | 70 | 80 |
| Human Torch | Flame Tornado damage per second | 100 | 120 |
| Iron Man | Repulsor Blast stage 1 and 2 direct hit / spell field | 55 / 35 | 40 / 50 |
| Iron Man | Repulsor Blast stage 3 direct hit / spell field | 65 / 40 | 50 / 60 |
| Iron Man | Repulsor Blast (Armor Overdrive) direct hit / spell field | 55 / 50 | 50 / 65 |
| Cloak & Dagger | Lightforce Dagger healing on hit allies | 10 | 16 |
| Cloak & Dagger | Spell field healing from the hit | 18 | 16 |
Was the Human Torch change a buff?
Mostly. Faster, more numerous Fire Cluster projectiles make his main attack easier to land, and both parts of Supernova hit harder. The catch is the ultimate cost. 4,000 energy instead of 3,400 means you get it less often (roughly 18% more energy per ultimate). NetEase framed the whole package as improving his “solo takedown potential”, which is a fair reading.
Did Iron Man get nerfed in 20250314?
Sort of. It depends on how you played him. Direct hits lost damage at every stage, while the splash (spell field) gained it. An Iron Man who consistently landed direct Repulsor shots lost output. One who fired into groups and relied on splash lost much less, or gained some. NetEase’s own wording was “balancing his mid-range offensive capabilities”, which tells you they wanted less burst on single targets.
What changed for Cloak & Dagger?
Healing moved from the area to the direct hit. Small change, real effect. Lightforce Dagger now heals an ally it hits for 16 instead of 10, and the field it leaves heals 16 instead of 18. In practice that rewards aiming daggers at a teammate rather than at the general fight. Why the trade? NetEase said it wanted them to fit more team compositions.
Other fixes in the Marvel Rivals 20250314 patch
The patch notes list one new option and a set of fixes:
- A “Raw Input” mouse option under Settings, Keyboard. It’s still in the game, and it’s the first thing we’d turn on today (our Marvel Rivals settings guide explains why).
- A fix for frame rate affecting sensitivity, which mattered a lot for anyone whose FPS swung during fights.
- A fix for AMD FSR 3 Frame Generation causing very slow level loading on CPUs with few threads, announced separately the same day.
- Nine hero bug fixes: Loki, The Thing (Embattled Leap speed on poor connections), Venom, Peni Parker twice, Namor with Jeff’s ultimate, Winter Soldier twice and Wolverine.
Twitch Drops returned from March 14 at 02:00 UTC, with Adam Warlock’s Will of Galacta spray, nameplate and costume. Funny enough, the same costume line keeps coming back in 2026, with Squirrel Girl and Angela getting their own versions (see our free Marvel Rivals skins list).
What came after Marvel Rivals patch 20250314?
Season 2 launched on April 11, 2025 with version 20250411, bringing Emma Frost and new team-ups. Our Season 2 team-ups breakdown picks up the story from there.
