Marvel Rivals Adding Chrono Shield Cards - New Feature for Competitive Players

Marvel Rivals will introduce new items called Chrono Shield Cards as part of the upcoming Galacta's Gift event, launching May 15. These cards provide protection against point loss in competitive mode after a lost match. The event arrives alongside the return of the Season 0 battle pass and new skins for The Punisher and Namor. Players are already eagerly awaiting the mid-season update that will add villain Ultron to the growing roster of playable characters. 🛡️🎮

What Are Chrono Shield Cards?

Chrono Shield Cards represent a new game item in Marvel Rivals that will significantly impact the competitive gaming experience. According to a recent announcement from NetEase Games on Twitter, these cards will provide players with a protective mechanism against point loss in ranked matches.

How these cards function is relatively straightforward:

• After losing a competitive match, a shield automatically activates
• This shield prevents the loss of points for that defeat
• Cards reset at the end of each season, so there's no reason to save them

For many players, this innovation is a welcome change, especially considering current issues in the ranked system. The community has long demanded solutions for situations where a player disconnects and disadvantages the entire team. Although Chrono Shield Cards aren't a permanent solution to this problem, they will help players mitigate frustration from losses in circumstances beyond their control.

Return of Season 0 Battle Pass

The update will also include a time-limited return of the Season 0 battle pass. Players who want to purchase it will have the opportunity from May 15 to May 29. Unlike the original version, however, this time there will be no free rewards available.

Key information about the battle pass return:

• Price: 590 Lattice (in-game currency)
• No free rewards (unlike the original version)
• Available only for a limited two-week period

New Skins and Addition of Ultron

In addition to Chrono Shield Cards and the battle pass return, the update will also bring new content for fans of cosmetic items:

• New Dangan Ronin skin for The Punisher, designed by artist Peach Momoko
• New skin for Namor
• Both skins will be available May 15 at 7 PM PDT

The official price of these cosmetic bundles has not yet been announced.

Fans of The Punisher are particularly excited about the new Dangan Ronin skin, as this character hasn't received any new cosmetic options for quite some time.

Alongside these innovations, players can look forward to the anticipated mid-season update, which will expand the playable roster with villain Ultron. This update should bring additional significant changes and improvements.

Community Reaction

The announcement about Chrono Shield Cards has elicited predominantly positive reactions among players. Many view this change as a step in the right direction, especially considering the current issues in competitive mode.

"Finally something that will help us with unfair losses due to teammates disconnecting. I'll appreciate this!" - fan comment on Twitter

With so much new content on the horizon and more updates on the way, many fans are optimistic about the future of Marvel Rivals. NetEase Games continues to actively improve the game and listen to community feedback.

Key Date: May 15

For clarity, here's a summary of everything coming on May 15:

• Launch of the Galacta's Gift event
• Introduction of Chrono Shield Cards
