‘Marvel Rivals’ Season 11: Nightcrawler Reveal Trailer

This Friday, Marvel Rivals will enter its eleventh season titled, “Doomsday” where an incursion between the worlds of Present Day New York and 2099 Nueva York is rapidly approaching. Earlier we saw the debut of the season trailer which featured our very own Kurt Wagner saving civilians as the city spirals into chaos and teased an undead foe arriving in the second half of the season. An hour later, we have a reveal trailer for Nightcrawler which showcases the character and some of his abilities, you can check out the reveal trailer below:

The reveal trailer, which lasts for 1 minute and 13 seconds, opens with the character banner revealing that Marvel Rivals’ 55th hero will be a strategist. We follow with a character animation. Kurt says, “It’s Nightcrawler’s turn to take the spotlight.” The animation involves him teleporting and using his three swords. We see his primary attack, a ranged attack that holds 21 ammo at a time. We then get a glimpse of his “Swift Intervention” ability (triggered by pressing the Left Shift key) which allows him to teleport to an ally. This ability holds two charges at a time and there’s a cooldown of about 3 seconds before it can be triggered again.

His next ability (triggered by pressing the E key) creates a safe point to return to, he dashes towards an enemy with a swiping attack followed by another ability (triggered by a right mouse click) which allows him to attack an enemy with his three swords. During this sequence he’s able to perform a “Smoke Shift” (triggered by the E key during this sequence) that allows him to dash towards an enemy, he does a front flip attack with his sword, and you then have the option to “BAMF Back” to the safe point created at the start of the ability. The ability has a cooldown of 16 seconds before it can be triggered again.

We see a quick flash of Nightcrawler’s Emblem before they showcase the “Teleport” ability (triggered by pressing the F key). After using the “Teleport” ability on an ally, approximately 2 seconds after Nightcrawler brings the ally to his location, this ability can be used even if an ally is stationary (such as Punisher’s Turret) or while using an ultimate ability. 

After another animation we see our first look at Nightcrawler’s ultimate ability (triggered by pressing the Q key). After choosing a location to teleport to, Nightcrawler instantly damages any enemy in the area of effect (AoE) by teleporting them near his landing point. If used close to the edge of the map, Nightcrawler is able to teleport the enemies off the map, allowing them to be instantly KOed.

The character synopsis is as follows:

“A cloud of smoke – and the tide of battle turns! ✨Kurt Wagner may wear the face of a demon, but his soul carries pure grace. When chaos threatens to swallow the field, Nightcrawler teleports in an instant to drag his team out of the dark and lead them straight to victory. 🗓️ Available with the Season 11 launch on November 13 UTC! In the blink of an eye, hope returns…”

In Marvel Rivals, Kurt Wagner / Night Crawler is voiced by Matthew Mercer. Mercer, 44 is best known as the English Voice in roles such as Levi Ackerman in Attack on Titan, Cole Cassidy in Overwatch and most recently as Ganondorf in the Legend of Zelda: Ocarina Of Time Remake which dropped last week.
