All limited‑time Season 6.5 events and dates

Season 6.5 is structured around overlapping events in the hub, store, and Twitch Drops. Here are the confirmed timelines:​

These dates are fixed in the official patch notes, but minor timing differences may appear in regional clients.​

How to get free Units and emotes in Season 6.5

There are several confirmed ways to grab free value without spending premium currency during this update.

Free Units from Times Square and tournaments

You can earn Units from both social events and competitive play:​

• 100 Units from Love on Parade

  • Go to Times Square during the parade period.

  • Jump aboard one of the horse‑drawn carriages in the procession.

  • You receive 100 Units the first time you join the ride on your account.​

• Tournament rewards

  • Join a Faction via the Tournament > Marvel Rivals Clash menu and pick a Duo or Six‑Stack edition that matches your group size.​

  • Across up to five rounds (ending at three wins or three losses), you can earn Units, Unstable Molecules, nameplates, and other rewards based on your win total.​

Free “Awaken the Lion” emote

“Awaken the Lion” is a completely free emote you can claim for a limited time.​

• You can claim it from February 13 to February 27, 2026 (UTC).​

• Once claimed, it’s available for every hero on your account.​

• It’s marked as an auspicious Spring Festival‑themed emote tied to the seasonal celebrations.

Spring Festival red packets

During “Raining Red Packets,” you can claim a one‑time red‑packet reward in Times Square:​

• Head to the Lion Dance stage where Iron Fist leads the festivities.

• Interact with the Fortune Drum between February 15 and February 22, 2026 (UTC).​

• You’ll receive a special red packet; the exact breakdown of its contents is not fully detailed in the patch notes and may be subject to change between regions.​

Wedding Wishes for Mr. & Mrs. X: how it works and what you get

The Wedding Wishes event is the centerpiece of Season 6.5 for cosmetics, featuring Gambit and Rogue’s wedding bundle and related items.​

How the balloon draw works

Instead of a straight purchase, you pop balloons in a limited‑time lucky draw:​

• There are eight balloons on the event screen, each hiding one reward from a fixed list.

• Each balloon costs more Units than the last: 100 for the first, 200 for the second, 300 for the third, and so on up to a total of 3,000 Units for all eight.

• If you’re very lucky, you can get both Mr. X and Mrs. X legendary costumes in the first balloon and unlock all rewards for just 100 Units.​

• Even if you’re unlucky, the event is hard‑capped so all rewards combined will never cost more than 3,000 Units.​

Exact probability per balloon is not publicly disclosed by the developers, so any detailed odds or simulations you see elsewhere should be treated as unofficial estimates, not guaranteed drop rates.

Full Wedding Wishes rewards list

The confirmed rewards for the Wedding Wishes event are:

• “Mrs. X” Rogue legendary skin

• “Mr. X” Gambit legendary skin

• “Lover’s Embrace” Gambit emote

• Gambit and Rogue Forever MVP animation

• Mr. X nameplate

• Mrs. X nameplate

• Mr. X spray

• Mrs. X spray

All of these unlock automatically once you pop the balloon that contains the legendary costumes, even if you still have unopened balloons left.

Other notable cosmetics: Jeff, Iron Fist, and Ultron

Season 6.5 also expands cosmetics across emotes, skins, and Twitch Drops.​

• Jeff the Land Shark “Lemonade Stand” emote

  • A new Jeff emote that lets him set up a lemonade stand and interact with nearby heroes.​

  • Available as part of the Season 6.5 store content; the patch notes highlight Jeff’s new Duck Defender costume and related VFX as well.​

• Iron Fist “Lucky Lion Dance” emote

  • When Iron Fist uses this emote in Times Square, the Practice Range, Arcade, or Spawn Room while wearing his Lion’s Gaze costume, nearby heroes can join the lion dance.​

  • The Spring Festival hub decorations and Lion Dance Spectacular event are built around this interaction.​

• Ultron “Will of Galacta” Twitch Drops set

  • Earned by accumulating watch time in eligible streams between February 13 and March 13, 2026 (UTC).​

  • Includes the Will of Galacta costume with a classic cosmic purple/teal look and bundle extras like themed cosmetics.​

An expert‑style tip here: if you’re low on Units, focusing on the 100 free Units from the carriage ride plus Twitch Drops and free event cosmetics gives you the best value across the season.

Quality‑of‑life upgrades for emotes and cosmetics

Season 6.5 also cleans up the way you manage cosmetics and express yourself mid‑match.

• Emote and spray lists

  • You can now switch from a limited wheel to “All Sprays” and “All Emotes” lists in the Hero Profile → Emotes/Sprays tabs.​

  • This makes it much easier to access large collections, especially on heroes with multiple event emotes.

• Grouped sprays and nameplates

  • New “Heroic Sorting & Grouping” groups nameplates and sprays by hero and category and clearly separates what you own from what you don’t.​

  • Filters help you quickly find your best cosmetics for a given character or theme.

These tweaks don’t change power or balance, but they make it a lot easier to enjoy everything you unlock from events like Wedding Wishes and Spring Festival.

Lore updates: Elsa Bloodstone and Mantis in Season 6.5

If you care about the ongoing story, this update moves a few threads forward.​

• Elsa Bloodstone – “Special Delivery”

  • A new lore entry dives deeper into Elsa’s monster‑hunting background following the Brood Queen arc, setting up future Collapsing Timeline‑related content.​

• Mantis – “Growing Together”

  • Mantis and the Gardener receive a continuation of their narrative as they deal with the aftermath of Deadpool and the freed monsters wreaking havoc in the Grand Garden.​

Both stories are framed as part of the broader Season 6.5 narrative, and they’re likely to be referenced by future seasons and limited‑time modes.
