Marvel Rivals Season Bonuses Guide: Maximize Your Hero’s Power in Season 0

Marvel Rivals already has a solid Battle Pass system for snagging exclusive skins, but if you’re chasing glory on the competitive leaderboard, the Season Bonuses are where it’s at. These buffs can give your favorite heroes a serious edge, so let’s dive into what they’re all about and how you can maximize them in Season 0!

What Are Season Bonuses?

Season Bonuses are exclusive buffs that enhance certain heroes’ stats for the current season. These bonuses tweak one of the game’s three core stats—Health, Damage, or Healing—depending on a hero’s role.

Here’s the breakdown:

• Vanguards (tanks) get bonus health to absorb more hits.
• Duelists (damage-dealers) get a percentage boost to their damage output.
• Strategists (support) receive a healing boost to keep their team alive longer.

 

 

Season Bonuses in Action

For example, Venom, a Vanguard hero, has a base health of 650. Thanks to a +150 Health Season Bonus in Season 0, his max health jumps to 800, making him a true tank on the battlefield. Duelists like Hawkeye, on the other hand, can enjoy a massive 20% damage boost, letting them shred through enemies faster.

How to Check Your Season Bonuses

Curious if your favorite hero is rocking a buff this season? It’s easy to check!

1. Look for the Bonus Icon: During the hero selection stage, you’ll notice a special icon on heroes with an active Season Bonus.
2. Team-Up Abilities Button: Click the Team-Up Abilities button and hover over the bonus icon to see the details.
3. Shortcut for PC Players: Press F2 during hero selection to view the Team-Up Abilities and bonuses directly.

Pro Tip: You don’t need to activate any Team-Up Ability to benefit from the Seasonal Bonus—it’s automatically applied in all game modes, including Competitive.

Season Bonuses Change Every Season

Seasonal Bonuses aren’t here forever! Each season brings a fresh batch of buffs, so the heroes you’re crushing with now might not have the same advantage in the next season. If your go-to hero isn’t getting love this season, it’s the perfect excuse to experiment with others and find a new favorite.

Make the Most of Your Bonuses

If you’re aiming to climb the Competitive ranks, take advantage of these seasonal buffs:

• Tank It Up: Vanguards like Venom and Hulk can hold the front lines longer, letting your damage dealers go wild.
• Go Full DPS: Duelists with a big damage boost (like Hela and Hawkeye) can dominate the battlefield, especially in aggressive strategies.
• Support Your Squad: Strategists like Luna Snow are even better healers this season, keeping your team in the fight longer.

Season Bonuses add a dynamic twist to Marvel Rivals, rewarding players who adapt to the meta. So gear up, strategize, and let those buffs carry you to victory! And hey, don’t forget—every season is a fresh start, so there’s always something new to explore and conquer.
