Marvel Rivals reveals major Team-Up changes in Season 3.5, adding new synergies with Adam Warlock, Luna Snow, Mantis, and Blade, while removing outdated combos. Full breakdown here.
Season 3.5 Team-Up Update: Marvel Rivals Is Shuffling the Deck
Marvel Rivals just dropped a preview for its upcoming Season 3.5 update, and the big headline? Team-Up overhauls. If you thought your favorite synergy was locked in for the long run — think again. NetEase is mixing things up with two new Team-Ups, four reworks, and two removals, all landing on August 8.
These updates aren’t just balance tweaks. They’re full-on shifts designed to refresh strategy, mix up the meta, and maybe give your sidelined mains a moment in the spotlight. Let’s break it down.
New Team-Ups in Season 3.5
1. Duality Dance — Adam Warlock & Luna Snow
This new combo leans hard into Warlock’s high-tier support role. When linked up with Luna Snow, his powers bind enemies, turning their damage into healing for her. Basically: your damage is her fuel now. Sounds brutal in the right hands.
2. Vibrant Vitality — Mantis, Loki & Groot
This is a healing-heavy power trio.
- Mantis feeds Life Energy,
- Loki boosts stats via lamps,
- Groot heals through his walls.
The potential for sustain here is off the charts — especially in drawn-out team fights.
Team-Up Adjustments: Who’s In, Who’s Out?
These aren’t just small number tweaks. Several Team-Ups are being restructured entirely:
✅ Reworked Team-Ups:
- Chilling Assault: Now includes Iron Fist with Hawkeye and Luna Snow. He brings Harmony Recovery, a self and team heal that adds survivability to the previously damage-heavy setup.
- Rocket Network: Gains Star-Lord alongside Peni Parker and Rocket Raccoon. Star-Lord now rocks a teleport beacon, adding mobility and repositioning options.
- Lunar Force: Welcomes Blade into the fold with Cloak & Dagger and Moon Knight. Blade gets a self-healing invisibility dome, perfect for clutch escapes or stealth kills.
- Ragnarok Rebirth: Loses Loki. Now only Hela and Thor, with a simplified resurrection focus. Straightforward, but possibly more niche.
Removed Team-Ups
Sometimes, old combos need to go to make room for new ones. RIP to:
- Guardian Revival (Adam Warlock / Mantis / Star-Lord)
- Atlas Bond (Iron Fist / Luna Snow)
These are getting completely axed from the game when Season 3.5 lands. Pour one out for your backup support trio.
Why It Matters: The Meta’s Getting a Refresh
These Team-Up changes might look cosmetic, but they’re meta-defining:
- Support and sustain comps are getting stronger — especially with Mantis and Groot in the same trio.
- Mobility and tactical repositioning are gaining traction, with teleport and invisibility now being viable mid-fight tools.
- Old go-to combos are being split up, forcing players to explore new synergies.
It’s NetEase clearly saying: adapt, or get left behind.
When’s It All Happening?

Marvel Rivals continues to keep things fresh, and this update proves that Team-Ups aren’t set in stone. Whether you’re a diehard Groot main or just someone who likes breaking the meta, there’s something to get excited about here.
Now’s the time to start testing comps, figuring out who clicks with who — and maybe, just maybe, discovering a combo that goes viral on Day One.
