Marvel Rivals is expanding its universe once more. Everyone can feel the excitement as their fan-favorite X-Men character, Gambit, possible addition to the game. So far, here’s everything shared about Gambit Marvel Rivals arrival.
Gambit’s Confirmed Class: A Duelist with Explosive Potential
Is everyone ready for Gambit in Marvel Rivals? Apparently, a credible leaker, X0XLEAK, shared that the X-Men character is set to join the hero roster. Based on his information, Gambit will be the newest Duelist in Marvel Rivals.
This classification only aligns with his persona from the comic book which possessed incredible speed and agility. Besides that, Gambit also has extremely strong attack capabilities making him a perfect Duelist hero. Players can expect him to be a high-damage character that uses a glass cannon playstyle.
Moreover, his character should contribute and deal significant damage to their opponents. However, Gambit can also be vulnerable to any possible counterattacks. Many suggest that his character will be excellent for Duelist class.
Hence, players are already preparing strategies that fit quick, precise strikes, and mobile gameplay. He’ll be a perfect hero that can quickly eliminate opponents and take charge of the battlefield due to his skills. Primarily, they’ll feature his legendary ability to kinetically charge objects, especially playing cards in-game.
Weapons and Primary Attack: Kinetic Energy Cards
As mentioned, Gambit Marvel Rivals ability will center on his signature Kinetic Energy Cards. According to the leaks, this weapon is more than just an ordinary one as it has explosive projectiles. So with Kinetic Energy Cards, players can rapidly throw these at their enemies.
Also, the leaker hinted at “energy accumulation” ability that will further improve Gambit on the battlefield. It’ll increase the power or range of his primary attacks, making him stronger and tougher to take down. With that, players will have to be strategic in managing Gambit’s energy to maximize his attacks. Overall, Gambit Marvel Rivals’ abilities lean to pick off healers and provide damage from a distance.
Leaked Abilities: Mysterious but Promising
So far, Gambit Marvel Rivals abilities have shown up from datamines which are named as, “Node Card Array-Projection” and “Node Card Array-Recycling.” However, the specific details of these abilities are still hidden and unknown. But many are expecting this ability to bring intriguing gameplay mechanics and game advantages.
With “node” in ability names, some think that Gambit will have the ability to place items around the map. These items will both deal damage to his opponents while simultaneously regenerating his energy. In comparison to Moon Knight’s Ankh ability, Gambit will definitely bring in more in-game advantages.
Release Timeline and Expectations
The arrival of a new X-Men character in Marvel Rivals hero pool is bringing up the excitement of the community. However, they are yet to confirm when they will release Gambit in Marvel Rivals. As of now, the earliest arrival of this character can be during Season 2 in April 2025.
Yet, according to some leaks, Gambit is set to come in Season 3 of Marvel Rivals which is quite a long wait. Plus, it might not only be him that will join the game as they are seeking to add depth to their hero pool. Potential additions to the lineup may include Rogue, Jubilee, Beast, and Nightcrawler.
Conclusion
Gambit Marvel Rivals’ addition is definitely something that came out of the blue but an amazing and exciting treat.
