Since the introduction of Duelist Phoenix in Season 3, Wolverine's synergy with her has proven excessively strong. The Primal Flame team-up ability enhances his Feral Leap with fiery damage and grants him lifesteal, making him nearly unstoppable. Vanguard players have expressed frustration, prompting NetEase to implement changes.

Upcoming Balance Adjustments

In a July 17 update, Wolverine will receive several nerfs to restore balance:

• Berserk Claw Strike: Base damage increased from 6 to 8, but max Rage damage reduced from 4.5% to 3.5% per hit.
• Regenerative Healing Factor: Cooldown extended from 90s to 105s, though KO participation reduces it by 12s (up from 10s).
• Primal Flame Lifesteal: Reduced from 33% to 25% during Phoenix Warrior mode.

Summer Special Event

The July update also kicks off a limited-time Summer Special event, offering:

• Free Thor skin (Worthy Waves) via event pass.
• Premium cosmetics for The Thing and Luna Snow.
• Exclusive summer skins for Loki and Psylocke (available July 17–August 15), with optional recolors purchasable using Unstable Molecules.
