All Blade abilities and kit in Marvel Rivals
Fans of comic book hero Blade have been waiting for his arrival in Marvel Rivals for some time now, but it's still a bit far away from becoming a reality. Eric Brooks, also known as Blade, is a daywalking vampire which is sometimes known as a dhampir. This means he was formed by the union between a vampire and a human, so he has vampire-like powers with the ability to walk and live in daylight. Since becoming a dhampir, Blade has dedicated himself to ridding the world of vampires with his proficiency in martial arts, weaponry including swords and firearms, and superhuman strength, speed, and agility, among many others. Blade has already appeared in Marvel Rivals, and he has also been data mined from the game files, so we know he's coming to the game eventually, but we don't know when. What we do know, though, is a bit about how he will play as a playable character in the hero shooter. Here's everything we know so far about Blade and his abilities in Marvel Rivals.

Blade leaked abilities in Marvel Rivals Screenshot by Destructoid Blade's tentative ability set leaked several months ago towards the end of 2024, and his current release date is unknown, but here's what we do know so far about the daywalking vampire. Ability Description Katana(Primary weapon) Close-range melee attack. Hunting Shotgun(Secondary weapon) Close-to-mid range shotgun weapon attack. Stomp and Slash Unknown, but he will likely stomp and then slash. Dark Night Attack Some kind of dashing attack. Fang Deflect Blade uses his katana to deflect incoming ranged attacks. New Moon(Ultimate) Blade transforms into his vampire form and deals damage that either steals HP or prevents healing. Bloodline Liberation(Passive) Blade can track enemies through walls somehow. Judging by the sounds of Blade's leaks, he's going to be a bit of a fast-moving melee Duelist who can also use a shotgun for some mid-range damage. There's still a lot we don't know about the hero, but we can glean some info judging by how he has appeared in other games and media like Marvel Comics. Blade uses his katana and some kind of firearm for his main methods of damage-dealing, plus he is also a vampire that's capable of sucking blood, which makes sense for his ultimate to have some sort of lifesteal or healing prevention ability.

Image via u/Kitchen-Ad-6922 on Reddit Blade does not yet have a confirmed release date in Marvel Rivals, but he could appear as early as season three or the season 3.5 update, in July or August 2025. Season three is due to begin on or around July 11, so we could see him as soon as then, but he could also be saved up for any of the other upcoming seasons of the game. After Blade was rescued by the Fantastic Four and other heroes during season one's canon lore events, he can now be seen on one of the Wakanda maps, resting and recuperating from being imprisoned by Dracula. He should hopefully be good to go and join the fight when season two ends in July. This article will be updated with more information when it becomes available.
