Marvel Rivals Season 2: Hellfire Gala arrives with new content for its growing community. Marvel Rivals players get a chance to obtain the stunning Mantis Flora Maiden Costume for free. Here’s what you need to do to unlock the Mantis Flora Maiden Costume in Marvel Rivals.
What is the Cerebro Database Event?
NetEase Games presents a special seasonal challenge system alongside the release of Marvel Rivals Season 2: Hellfire Gala. This Cerebro Database Event serves as time-limited content that only runs until May 9, 2025. Besides, the event features four separate Cerebro Files which contain a 3×3 grid of challenges. Players can expect a total of 9 challenges for each file they complete.
All these files will highlight different Marvel characters, offering a variety of challenges. Players should complete each file to earn the free Marvel Rivals Mantis Flora Maiden Costume. The challenge system features a “three lines” completion mechanic. This makes it easier to achieve progression in these files.
- File 1 (Emma Frost): Available April 11
- File 2 (Wolverine): Unlocks April 15
- File 3 (Black Panther): Unlocks April 19
- File 4 (Namor): Unlocks April 23
How the Challenge System Works
Each of the Cerebro Files included in the event features a 3×3 grid of challenges. Players need to form three “lines” of completed challenges like BINGO to complete the file. These lines can either be horizontal rows, vertical columns, or even diagonal lines. Once you have your three lines, the system automatically marks your remaining challenges as complete.
Through this, it is more efficient and ensures most players can complete all the files before the event ends. Plus, each line completed also gives you separate rewards including sprays, gallery cards, Chronos Tokens, and Units. Currently, Marvel Rivals only released the File 1 (Emma Frost) Challenge for the Cerebro Database event.
File 1 (Emma Frost) Challenges
- Complete 5 matches (either through Quick Match, Competitive, or Practice VS. AI)
- Let Emma Frost deal damage of 10,000
- Defeat 60 enemies (either through Quick Match, Competitive, or Practice VS. AI)
- Read her Lore: Forged in Hellfire
- Secure assists 40 times in any match type
- Stun 10 of her enemies with Psionic Seduction as Emma Frost
- Let Emma Frost take 20,000 damage
- View Challenge 1 during the event period
- Win 1 Krakia: Hellfire Gala match
After completing lines for File 1, players will receive these separate rewards:
- 100 Chrono Tokens (Line 1)
- Emma Frost X Spray (Line 2)
- Impending Doom Gallery Card + 75 Units (Line 3)
Strategy for Completing Challenges Efficiently
The very core of the Cerebro Database challenges is completing the three lines. So, it won’t be necessary to blackout the challenge grid in each file. Focus on which line is easier to finish to efficiently complete the event.
- Start by completing simple challenges like viewing Challenge 1 and reading Emma Frost lore
- Play as Emma Frost in Practice VS. AI matches if you’re struggling with character-specific challenges
- Focus on completing rows, columns, or diagonals that contain the easiest challenges for your playstyle
- Remember that assists count towards challenge completion even when you’re not playing as the file’s featured character
- On the other hand, the remaining files unlock later in April. You have to regularly check on the updates to keep track of your progress toward the Mantis Flora Maiden costume.
Claiming Your Mantis Flora Maiden Skin
After completing all four of Cerebro Files, you can proceed to claim the Marvel Rivals Mantis Flora Maiden Costume. First, you need to visit the Event page and navigate below the Season tab. From there, it’ll reward you with the free Mantis Flora Maiden Costume, permanently adding to your collection.
