How To Get A Free Blade Skin In Marvel Rivals’ Halloween Event

Marvel Rivals is marking Halloween with flair, featuring numerous events and the chance to secure a complimentary Blade skin. The Blade skin is an exceptional outfit known as Blade Knight, which depicts the Daywalker disguised as Moon Knight for his Halloween attire.

To obtain the Blade skin, you must earn it from the Voyage to Astonish event, an event rewards board closely connected to the Marvel Zombies event. The method of the Voyage to Astonish allows you to gain Lanterns by completing tasks, mainly within Marvel Zombies. Using a Lantern, you can advance your piece on the board, moving depending on the number you roll. You will consistently land on a new reward, thus requiring a total of 21 Lanterns to claim all rewards. While acquiring Blade Knight for free is possible, premium rewards are included in the premium event pass, which is priced at 690 Lattice ($7).

Both events continue until November 14.

Marvel Rivals Marvel Zombies Event

Marvel Zombies is a time-limited PvE mode, where up to four players must accomplish a task that requires them to battle through waves of zombies. The task consists of multiple waves, featuring two boss encounters—one against Namor in the middle and another against Scarlet Witch to conclude the mission.

There is a set of 10 missions available for you to achieve in Marvel Zombies or in standard matches, under the Voyage to Astonish section in missions. A new mission becomes accessible each day until all are unlocked, but you must finish one before the next can be available. Independently, there is a Marvel Zombies mission section, which offers additional tasks based on completing each difficulty, rewarding Lanterns alongside minor cosmetic items like sprays and titles.

You can choose from five characters in Marvel Zombies:

• The Punisher
• Magik
• Thor
• Blade
• Jeff the Land Shark

Because of the limited hero pool, you are permitted to have duplicate heroes. Notably, although Jeff can utilize healing abilities in Marvel Zombies, his abilities are tailored mainly towards inflicting damage. Each character can possess variations of their typical abilities, and there are skill trees for leveling up, enabling you to focus on your preferred gameplay style. Skill trees can be reset at any time. Besides skill points, you also unlock ability variants at levels 10*, 15, and 25.

*While the first ability is stated to unlock at level 10, it actually unlocked at level 5 for us.

Leveling up occurs by engaging in missions and accruing XP from eliminating zombies and accomplishing objectives. All characters level simultaneously, so should you participate in a match as Jeff and gain four levels, all other characters will likewise gain four levels.

Playing Marvel Zombies

Marvel Zombies can be played at seven levels of difficulty:

• Normal
• Hard
• Extreme
• Nightmare I
• Nightmare II
• Nightmare III
• Nightmare IV

You will need to successfully complete a run at the preceding difficulty to unlock the subsequent one. The progression of a mission essentially remains consistent across runs. You will navigate through small zones, tackling the zombie hordes until you reach the next section. Points are earned during combat, which can be used between rounds to purchase enhancements.

These enhancements only persist for the current mission and are distributed like roguelike improvements. You are presented with three cards to buy, alongside the option to reroll for a single point and a mystery spin for 15 points. The mystery spins, which can also be obtained by completing special objectives throughout a mission, can provide you with multiple cards simultaneously, duplicate some of your cards, and grant other powerful bonuses.

Although there are a few other goals you’ll encounter in each mission, the two primary challenges are the boss encounters. In the Namor battle, he will be temporarily impervious at certain instances, but you can consistently harm him by eliminating one of the numerous squid turrets he deploys.

For Scarlet Witch, the sole significant obstacle in her boss fight is the concluding segment. Once you reduce her health sufficiently (each boss will possess numerous health bars, marked by the “X” with a number adjacent to it to the right of the bar). During Scarlet Witch’s last phase, she will commence her ultimate Reality Erasure.

During this interval, a small progress bar will diminish beneath her health bar. You must take her down before that completes. As she charges, small crimson crystals will sporadically materialize that slightly prolong your time if you eliminate them. Critical hits are applicable on boss foes and are vital for inflicting adequate damage to prevail.
