Unraveling Marvel Rivals' Mysterious 'Season Bonus' Feature
Marvel Rivals is a fresh take on the hero shooter genre, bringing familiar elements with a twist. One of its standout features is the mysterious Season Bonus. This feature has left many players scratching their heads, trying to understand its purpose and how it works. In this article, we'll dive into what Season Bonuses are, how they function, and which characters benefit from them in Season 0.
Understanding the Season Bonus
The Season Bonus in Marvel Rivals is a class-specific buff that enhances certain characters. These bonuses are divided into three categories:
- Vanguards get extra health.
- Duelists receive a damage boost.
- Strategists enjoy a healing bonus.
Each character with a Season Bonus also plays a crucial role in Team-Up Abilities, acting as either an anchor or initiator. This connection suggests that the bonuses are designed to encourage players to use these characters strategically. However, these bonuses are expected to change with each season, possibly introducing new characters or altering existing ones.
Activating a Season Bonus
You might have noticed the Season Bonus while choosing a hero. It's listed under the Team-Up information for Anchor heroes. Contrary to what you might think, the bonus is always active, regardless of the team composition. For instance, Groot's base health is 700, but with the Season Bonus, it increases to 850, irrespective of his teammates.
Season 0 Bonuses
In Season 0, 14 characters receive Season Bonuses. Here's a breakdown of the buffs they enjoy:
- Thor: 100 Max Health
- Groot: 150 Max Health
- Hulk: 150 Max Health
- Venom: 150 Max Health
- Rocket Raccoon: 5 Healing Bonus
- Adam Warlock: 15 Healing Bonus
- Cloak & Dagger: 15 Healing Bonus
- Luna Snow: 15 Healing Bonus
- Scarlet Witch: 10 Damage Bonus
- Spider-Man: 10 Damage Bonus
- Iron Fist: 15 Damage Bonus
- Magik: 15 Damage Bonus

Season Bonuses add a layer of complexity to Marvel Rivals, which some players find intriguing while others find perplexing. If you're keen on maximizing your gameplay, focusing on Team-Up Abilities and understanding these bonuses can be beneficial.
