With the launch of Season One, Marvel Rivals is making significant adjustments to its roster. New additions like Mister Fantastic and Invisible Woman are joining the battlefield, accompanied by a series of buffs and nerfs aimed at balancing gameplay. However, one character remains at the center of the debate: Luna Snow.
Despite receiving a slight nerf to her Fate of Both Worlds ultimate ability, players believe the changes won’t be enough to address her overwhelming dominance.
What’s Changing for Luna Snow in Season One?
Luna Snow’s adjustment focuses on her ultimate, Fate of Both Worlds. The nerf increases the time required to switch between her healing and damage modes, theoretically making her less flexible in clutch situations. However, players argue that the most broken aspect of her ability—the sheer impact it has during its 12-second duration—remains untouched.
Her ultimate not only heals her team significantly but also grants near invulnerability during its activation. When paired with other characters like Mantis, whose ultimate synergizes perfectly with Luna’s, or Loki, who can mimic her ability, Luna Snow becomes the backbone of an almost unbeatable strategy.
Community Feedback: The Nerf Misses the Mark
The Marvel Rivals community has been vocal about their concerns. While a Reddit post praised the developers’ efforts to fine-tune balance, the comment section painted a different picture. Players were quick to point out that Luna Snow’s nerfs fail to address the core issue: her ability to dominate entire matches with minimal counterplay.
- “Her ultimate is way too heavy,” one player remarked, highlighting how few abilities in the game can neutralize her while her ult is active.
- Others criticized the devs for not reducing the ultimate’s duration or its healing output, leaving her as the most overpowered Strategist in the game.

Competitive Impact: Luna Snow’s Season Zero Legacy
Season Zero stats solidify Luna Snow’s dominance. She was the most-picked Strategist in competitive play, with a pick rate surpassing Mantis and Rocket Raccoon. Her 49.74% win rate, while not the highest, reflects her reliance on synergies with characters like Mantis to form a devastating combo.
As the new season unfolds, these nerfs are unlikely to shift her position as the top-tier choice. Players predict Luna Snow will continue to dominate for at least six to seven weeks, potentially forcing the developers to revisit her kit during the mid-season update.
Why Luna Snow Remains Overpowered
Here are the key factors that keep Luna Snow ahead of the competition:
- Overwhelming Ultimate Ability: A 12-second duration that provides massive healing and near-invulnerability.
- Synergy Potential: Combos seamlessly with Mantis or Loki, creating an unstoppable team dynamic.
- Lack of Counters: Few ultimates in the game can effectively neutralize her during her ultimate.
Conclusion
Luna Snow’s slight nerf in Season One of Marvel Rivals feels more like a minor tweak than a substantial balance adjustment. With her ultimate remaining as powerful as ever, the community anticipates another season dominated by her gameplay.
Whether the developers address these concerns in the mid-season patch remains to be seen, but for now, Luna Snow is here to stay at the top of the roster.
