Summary
- Marvel Rivals players critique the visual clarity between Cloak and Dagger and Thor’s similar abilities, suggesting necessary improvements.
- The community voices concerns over visual confusion with the abilities, calling for clearer distinctions.
Marvel Rivals players took to social media to point out that Cloak and Dagger’s Dagger Storm ability looks almost exactly the same as Thor’s Lightning Realm ability. While neither ability harms allies, many Marvel Rivals players feel there needs to be an improvement in visual clarity. With so much happening on the screen at any given moment, it’s important to know what’s going on at all times.
Thor is a Vanguard in Marvel Rivals, which means his primary role is to face enemies directly while protecting his teammates from taking too much damage. Cloak and Dagger is a Strategist who can swap between healing and damage abilities. Both Vanguards and Strategists are crucial to team composition, but many players have complained that their lobbies are overrun with Duelists. Despite this issue, Marvel Rivals‘ director said there’s no plan to implement role queues within the title. While some fans were happy to hear the game would continue without the restriction, others feel it might hurt the longevity of the hero shooter.

Marvel Rivals Fans Want Hawkeye to Get a Nerf
Marvel Rivals players ask NetEase Games to nerf Hawkeye in a future update, as they feel the character is unfair and makes the game less fun.
Redditor IWasSayingBoourns- recently posted two images, one showing Thor’s Lightning Realm ability and the other showing Cloak and Dagger’s Dagger Storm ability. Both abilities appear to be a blue dome, though they have different intentions. Dagger Storm creates a healing bubble for allies while Lightning Realm creates a slowing bubble for enemies. When looking at them side by side, some players complained that it was nearly impossible to tell the difference. This can be detrimental, as allies may flock to the bubble thinking they will be healed, when it’s actually a bubble meant to debuff enemies. Some players compared it to Jeff the Land Shark’s ultimate in Marvel Rivals, where they feel it’s too difficult to know whether the ability is being used by an ally or enemy.
Marvel Rivals Players Can’t Tell the Difference Between Dagger Storm and Lightning Realm
Cloak and Dagger’s ability kit was the target of even more criticism, as some players feel the character’s ultimate ability, Eternal Bond, has some confusing visuals. When the hero initiates Eternal Bond, they sweep across the battlefield, leaving a trail that heals allies and harms enemies. However, the dark trail of mist can be difficult to see, and if there are two Cloak and Daggers present, it can be hard to determine if the trail belongs to an ally or enemy. While there can be a lot of confusion in the heat of battle, one player recently noticed that Strategists call out when they take damage in Marvel Rivals, allowing teammates to track when their healers are in trouble.
As the hero shooter continues to mature, many players are spending time providing feedback to NetEase Games. Fans recently discussed the merits of removing Seasonal Bonuses in Marvel Rivals, with some suggesting the feature may harm the game’s balance in the future. While it remains to be seen how NetEase Games will respond to player requests, many have high hopes for Marvel Rivals after it made a big splash at launch.
