A new Marvel Rivals leak has showcased Blade's rumored Team-Up ability with Moon Knight and Cloak and Dagger. As a 6v6 hero shooter, Marvel Rivals utilizes Marvel Comics' deep pool of superheroes and villains to provide exciting gameplay for all players.
Marvel Rivals recently launched Season 3, which is also the debut of the new Duelist, Phoenix. Titled "The Abyss Awakens," the third season's lore focuses on stopping Knull from taking over the world. Apart from Phoenix, upcoming playable character Blade also plays an important role in holding back the King of Symbiotes, but fans will have to wait until early August until his official release.

With Blade’s official release date still unannounced, a trusted Marvel Rivals leaker shares a video revealing the Vampire Hunter’s gameplay.
PostsThere have been rumors about Blade's abilities, including a potentially game-changing anti-heal skill, but Marvel Rivals has yet to officially reveal his full kit. Meanwhile, a Twitter video uploaded by popular leaker RivalsInfo showcased Blade's Team-Up with Moon Knight and Cloak and Dagger called "Lunar Force." Based on the 28-second clip, the ability adds a force field around Blade, which turns him invisible and possibly gives him temporary protection from shots. It is unclear if Moon Knight or other heroes who are not part of the Team-Up can also benefit from the force field as well.
How Blade's Rumored Team-Up Gives Him an Edge in Marvel Rivals
Close Lunar Force: Team-Up ability of Blade, Moon Knight, and Cloak and Dagger.Blade is rumored to be a Duelist, which would make sense based on his leaked ability kit, which includes interchangeable primary attacks using a sword and a shotgun. His Shift Ability, allegedly called "Step and Chop," reportedly gives him the ability to reduce enemies' healing and movement speed depending on the weapon he's wielding. Blade's rumored anti-healing skill is reminiscent of Ana's ability in Overwatch, and it would be the first time that Marvel Rivals will have a character feature like this. If Lunar Force is active, it could give Blade a chance to go on the offensive and chip away at enemies' HP while the force field protects him. This could also aid Blade while his rumored E ability, Blood Liberation, is active, since he's said to be able to self-heal while inflicting damage.
According to the Marvel Rivals Season 3 roadmap, the game will officially launch Blade in Season 3.5, which comes out on August 8. Fans still have to wait less than a month before they can finally experience the vampire hunter in their teams. At the same time, if Blade's anti-healing skill is real, players might want to change their team compositions in order to counter him.
