We now know that the 2 new heroes arriving in Marvel Rivals for Season 2 are Emma Frost and Ultron. Regardless of being extremely excited to get my arms on each characters, I am unable to assist however marvel what this all means for our buddy Blade, who’s nonetheless caught in a small room on the Central Park map.
Blade was first teased in the course of the Central Park map reveal for Marvel Rivals, the one drawback being, he is not precisely free to depart every time he desires. Presently, Blade is all chained up and decreased to a ornament within the defending crew’s spawn room. The offender behind this kidnapping is none aside from Dracula himself, the large baddie of Season 1, and contemplating his historical past with Blade, I am not stunned he is underneath lock and key.
The one drawback is, we’re previous all of the vampire stuff, and he is nonetheless simply… there. After I first noticed Blade, I used to be so enthusiastic about the opportunity of him becoming a member of Marvel Rivals.
Regardless of all of the rumours swirling round about Emma Frost and Ultron, I assumed that Blade can be an apparent choose, since he is already acquired a mannequin, and it is a bit impolite for all of the heroes simply to cross him by with out attempting to assist. However now Emma Frost and Ultron have been confirmed for Season 2, it looks as if we’ll have to attend no less than one other month earlier than releasing him.
Whereas it is a bit of a disgrace to cross up on Blade, it is in all probability for the very best. My guess is that he’ll be a Duelist, and seeing as there are already so lots of them on the roster, including a brand new Vanguard and Strategist makes extra sense when it comes to position stability. Now I’ve to confess that we do not know that Ultron goes to be a Strategist, however that is what my intestine’s telling me. Again in December, there was a considerable information leak that exposed Ultron alongside his skills, all of which screamed ‘assist’.
I believe it might be a extremely cool tackle his character, particularly given the truth that he is meant to be the villain of Season 2, and it might be a pleasant deviation from the stereotypical healer. I am used to seeing good, pleasant heroes tackle the position, and do not get me mistaken, I really like Jeff—however he does not precisely present the entire vary of feelings that I’ve when attempting to maintain everybody on my crew up whereas combating off annoying Spider-Man or Iron Fist divers; he is simply too smiley.
No, I wish to play as Ultron and see Spider-Man, Magik, and Iron Fist quake in worry as I hunt them down within the backline whereas reciting his speech from Age of Ultron: “I used to be meant to be new. I used to be meant to be lovely. The world would have appeared to the sky and seen hope. Seen mercy. As a substitute, they are going to lookup in horror due to you. You have wounded me. I offer you full marks for that. Effectively, like the person mentioned: ‘What does not kill you, simply makes me stronger.'” That is what I really need, greater than Blade, greater than something.
