Marvel Rivals Blood Hunt – All playable Heroes and bosses
Blood Hunt is a separate PvE mode in Marvel Rivals, sitting alongside the regular competitive game, and is built around co-op play and boss fights. The story follows Spider-Man’s jailbreak fallout, which frees Dracula and kicks off a vampire crisis in New York.
According to the trailer, playable Heroes include Moon Knight, Blade, Squirrel Girl, The Punisher, Jeff, and Thor. Blood Hunt features four boss fights, and the new mode is tied to Dracula’s return, with the trailer pointing to Dracula, Capwolf, Ratatoskr, and Kingpin boss encounters.
How to play Marvel Rivals Blood Hunt
Since Blood Hunt is built for up to four players, the best way to approach it is as proper co-op missions instead of going solo. You will need to deal a ton of damage as undead enemies will appear in hordes, and tackling all of them alone will be a hassle.
Coming to Hero picks, choose those that cover damage, survivability, and support so your team can handle waves of enemies and boss phases without falling apart. Start by learning one hero well instead of constantly swapping, because PvE modes usually reward consistency more than flashy picks.
Bring a balanced team if possible, with at least one hero focused on sustain or utility and one built for burst damage. Save mobility skills for dangerous enemy patterns and boss mechanics.
As the mode includes hero traits and loot, it should reward players who keep replaying missions, improving builds, and matching hero choices to the fight ahead. If the mode lands well, NetEase could make it a major part of Marvel Rivals’ long-term seasonal rotation.
