Elsa Bloodstone joins as a new Duelist in Marvel Rivals Season 6.5
Season 6.5 introduces Elsa Bloodstone to the roster as a Duelist specializing in aggressive monster-hunting tactics, versatile weapon usage, and battlefield control.
Core playstyle and mechanics
Elsa wields a variety of weapons and traps to hunt her enemies and can even summon monsters to fight alongside her. During combat, she can switch between different weapons to maintain sustained pressure on opponents.
Her defining mechanic is Hunting Instinct. As Elsa deals damage, her Instinct sharpens, reducing cooldowns and allowing her to eliminate foes more quickly as engagements continue.
However, if she is KO’d, she loses Instinct, forcing players to carefully manage positioning and momentum.
Elsa excels at reading opponents and darting in and out of combat to identify openings. Once she spots an opportunity, she charges forward, combining the devastating power of her elephant gun with skilled close-quarters combat to secure eliminations.
Trap and control abilities
Elsa can deploy a trap containing the smoke monster Diablo. Enemies caught inside are immobilized, making them easy targets for follow-up damage.
Ultimate ability: Glartrox
When activating her Ultimate, Elsa summons Glartrox, a powerful beast that charges into battle.
Glartrox smashes through anything in its path, tearing apart enemy formations and biting down on anyone who stands in the way, disrupting defensive lines and creating space for her team.
All Team-Up ability changes in Marvel Rivals Season 6.5
- No more Fantastic Four Team-Up Ability
- Invisible Woman now partners with Doctor Strange
- Elsa Bloodstone joins Mr. Pool’s Interdimensional Toy Box Team-Up alongside Deadpool and Jeff
- The Thing joins the Gamma Charge Team-Up with Hulk and Black Panther
- Mister Fantastic joins the Rocket Network Team-Up with Rocket Raccoon and Star-Lord
The existing Fantastic Four Team-Up Ability (Invisible Woman, Mister Fantastic, Human Torch, and The Thing) will be removed in Season 6.5.
Previously, the Fantastic Four Team-Up Ability boosted team survivability when Invisible Woman, Mister Fantastic, Human Torch, and The Thing were on the same squad.
New Team-Up: Psionic Mayhem
- Invisible Woman serves as the anchor.
- When activated, Doctor Strange’s Maelstrom of Madness transforms into Psionic Vortex.
- Psionic Vortex pulls enemies toward Doctor Strange
- It grants extra health to Doctor Strange and nearby allies based on the damage dealt
This rework shifts Invisible Woman into a more synergy-driven support role while amplifying Doctor Strange’s crowd-control impact.
Interdimensional Toy Box Update: Elsa joins Deadpool and Jeff
- Deadpool modifies Elsa’s Breathing Gun
- When Living Bullet rounds hit enemies, affected targets suffer vision impairment
- Enemies will also hear Deadpool’s nonstop chatter
Elsa can recall the Living Bullet rounds, healing herself based on the damage dealt, creating a hybrid offensive-sustain mechanic within the Team-Up.
Gamma Charge: The Thing enters the fray
- The Thing gains access to Gamma Gauntlets
- Activating the ability increases the range and damage of Stone Haymaker and Rocky Jab
- Each successful hit grants Bonus Health
This addition strengthens The Thing’s frontline durability and brawling potential.
Rocket Network Upgrade: Mister Fantastic joins
Together, Rocket and Mister Fantastic developed the Fantastic Amplifier. When activated:
- Mister Fantastic’s Elasticity can exceed the 100-point cap and continue accumulating
- He will not automatically enter Inflation state
- Instead, Inflation can be triggered manually
This change provides greater flexibility and timing control for Mister Fantastic players.
