Marvel Rivals Devs Showcase Black Cat’s Duelist Moveset
Marvel Rivals Season 7.5 launches April 17, 2026, introducing Black Cat as the newest Duelist hero. The character, based on Marvel Comics’ Felicia Hardy, brings a mobility-focused moveset centered on agility and close-quarters combat.
Black Cat’s abilities showcase high mobility, allowing her to scale buildings with ease and quickly close distances on enemies through pouncing mechanics. Her primary attack involves unleashing flurries of claw attacks, emphasizing her hand-to-hand combat style. According to the official Marvel Rivals YouTube showcase, her moveset incorporates borrowed abilities from other characters within the game, though specific details on these abilities were not provided in the initial reveal.
The Season 7.5 update includes additional content beyond the new hero. A new Player versus Environment (PvE) mode called Blood Hunt is being introduced, offering cooperative gameplay opportunities. An Infinity Saga event is also coming to the game, tying into Marvel’s major cinematic storyline.
The Duelist role typically emphasizes direct damage and aggressive play, and Black Cat’s ability kit appears designed to reward skilled positioning and gap-closing mechanics. Her building-traversal abilities suggest she may have unique mobility advantages compared to other Duelists. More detailed information regarding her specific abilities, cooldowns, and damage values is expected as the patch approaches release.
