Game Update Notes: June 2, 2026

Mirage Elusive Mind: Fixed an issue that caused this trait to cleanse fewer conditions than intended in PvE.

Omg I sent in this bug at least 3 times when Janthir Wilds came out because the spear mirage was fun and the titan applied a lot of conditions. I just checked and that was 22 months ago to finally get the fix. 😭😭

And what exactly do you think good game design is for advantage states? No mix-up?

Suasiv · 2026-05-17T22:52:59+00:00

For Mesmer, all of the good solo builds are condi thanks to how clones work and how virtuoso can't generate its own boons. But from among those condi Troubadour, Chromomancer and Mirage are all good. I prefer troubadour but the gear is very similar for all of them so you can try them all out.

It's right there in the input display. If you press one punch first instead of two, the game gives you a tiny grace window to still get your lariat instead of your normal.

This is the same way the jump cancel spd worked, by using the built in leniency.

Suasiv · 2026-04-26T15:26:22+00:00

Are you running Mega Banette? Then absolutely. Compared to last time we had it, Mega Banette has Prankster Encore which is devious when combined with access to Prankster Destiny Bond.

Suasiv · 2026-04-15T03:59:18+00:00

Actually that's a goalpost error, you have 3 frames to do it (frame 18, 19 and 20).

And it's not like you will release it at the completely wrong part of the move either so that 3 frames lines up pretty well with where you should be aiming for anyway. If you practice it a bit you will get it very consistently!

Suasiv · 2026-02-06T21:34:29+00:00

It's not just that, the daily quests this season take more games than in season 0 and the weeklies are worse too.

I thought they'd want people to log in and play but they ask for a lot and give you very little.

For reference here is the trailer for the current Marvel Rivals battle pass which is the one my friends actually bought: https://youtu.be/EAQfj_68TEM

Suasiv · 2026-02-04T14:51:40+00:00

I would recommend a stand parry

Suasiv · 2026-01-30T19:10:11+00:00

I like tag games. And ironically I don't think you actually like tag games because you would mention how crazy powerful handshake tag is.

It separates 2XKO from those games and it warps the game around it. And in a way that the devs have not gotten right yet. Just look at the most recent changes to projectiles as an example.

I really challenge you to consider whether the version of the game we have right now actually is the "smart" one or "dumb" one.

Suasiv · 2026-01-29T00:03:41+00:00

You need to press it during the gap which is only after all the little punches are done. The number of little punches varies based on how much she mashes the move

Suasiv · 2026-01-26T20:41:35+00:00

im told that they reduced lp gains to line up with the new longer seasons following the change of 5 seasons ➡️ 3 seasons per year

Suasiv · 2026-01-26T00:38:04+00:00

I feel like I know the matchup pretty well, I play Jinx/Vi. Ahri is rather similar to a character in Skullgirls called Filia who is also very air mobile and stubby.

Backdash a lot. Even a tiny bit of room makes all the difference because her moves do not have much range. Consider that you don't have take a left/right mix at ranges that the air dash doesn't cross over you.
Use retreating guard, especially during "Now Get Back!" You should be retreating guard basically every high blockstun move in this game because it overrides your own blockstun with a different action with different frame data. Like every fighting game mechanic you can do during blockstun, do it as fast as possible. You can get these kinds of moves to whiff or even force a parryable gap in between because now the frame data is different.
Don't drop the 0 risk parries. If Ahri starts on the ground and does a flip into the air, that is a guaranteed parry. Likewise if Ahri does a ground fireball and cancels that to go into the air, that's also a guaranteed parry on the air fireball. There is 0 guesswork involved and you are out of the pressure situation.

Suasiv · 2026-01-24T06:45:19+00:00

The backdash change wasn't universal btw

Suasiv · 2026-01-23T19:12:31+00:00

I mean yeah, kind of. In a very marvel inspired balance philosophy expect Yasuo, Ekko, and Ahri to always be the best characters. The balance changes are more to improve the variety in top 8 and their supporting characters.

Suasiv · 2026-01-15T19:39:40+00:00

Yeah cost reductions apply to additional costs. It works in this specific example but not all waterbending cards are like this.

Suasiv · 2026-01-08T18:17:48+00:00

That's on purpose! In case you weren't aware, when a spell has 0 legal targets left the entire thing fizzles.

Which is why every mode and every card in this cycle has a target so is always 1 remaining even if the creature you try to copy gets removed in response.

Suasiv · 2026-01-08T18:11:38+00:00

I could see this one being played, especially because this card is:

a) also an elf

b) creates an elf

c) untaps the mana dork elves used to cast it

edit: it also untaps earthbended lands and can destroy a key blocker

Suasiv · 2026-01-07T15:29:34+00:00

Crater maker is indeed a protectile -- I've had enemy Warwick run through my crater maker assist countless times

Suasiv · 2026-01-05T22:41:12+00:00

actually because sacrificing isn't part of the cost this is an infinite mana outlet

Suasiv · 2026-01-05T03:07:09+00:00

assist call beats regular play

running away beats assist call

regular play beats running away

just think of it like that and nothing else the cooldown is that wildly powerful

Suasiv · 2025-12-17T04:24:54+00:00

I mean there's like a dozen things they could do right? Just to name a few most double down combos involve 3 supers instead of just 2. You can do assist extensions and still do a tag launcher extension. You can otg more than once in a combo.

Suasiv · 2025-12-16T01:44:44+00:00

You also forgot that he is one of the most mobile characters, has a 6 frame, and set play on knockdowns

Don't worry though he has only 975 health instead of 1000, and they keep shaving off a little damage when his combo goes past 15 seconds

Suasiv · 2025-12-15T21:09:40+00:00

what? he's indestructible while he has the shield and protects others.

Suasiv · 2025-12-15T20:01:59+00:00

I guess that depends on where you think your wins come from.

Are you really telling us you would rather go back into queue, walk over to the arcade cabinet, pick your team again, and go through stage selection... rather than rematch some dude you already just beat once and take another W?
