Marvel Rivals has kicked off its Competitive Play feature with the launch of Season 0 - Dooms' Rise, allowing players who have reached level 10 to engage in skill-based matchmaking. Starting at the Bronze rank, players can advance through the ranks by selecting from a diverse roster of over thirty characters, categorized into Strategist, Duelist, and Vanguard roles. Each victory in Competitive Play contributes to earning points, facilitating progression through the various rank divisions.
As players climb the ranks within a Competitive Season, they become eligible for seasonal rewards. These rewards include cosmetic skins for specific characters and Crests of Honor, which are emblems that can be displayed on your profile to showcase your highest achieved ranks. In Season 1 - Eternal Night Falls, players can earn the exclusive Blood Shield skin for the new Strategist character, Invisible Woman, through competitive play.
How to Get Invisible Woman's Blood Shield Skin For Free in Marvel Rivals
Season 1 - Eternal Night Falls introduced several updates to Marvel Rivals, including enhancements to the Competitive Play system. A new rank, Celestial, was added between Grandmaster and Eternity, featuring three tiers similar to other ranks. Alongside hero balance changes, new seasonal rewards were introduced, such as S2 Crest variants for those reaching Grandmaster and above, and the coveted Blood Shield skin for Invisible Woman.
To obtain the Blood Shield skin for Invisible Woman, players need to achieve a rank of Gold III or higher during the competitive season. Importantly, these seasonal rewards are awarded based on your peak rank, not your final rank at the season's end. Therefore, even if you de-rank after reaching Gold III, you will still be eligible for the Blood Shield skin. However, these rewards are distributed only after the conclusion of a Competitive Season and the commencement of a new one. Thus, players will not see the Blood Shield skin in their Invisible Woman cosmetics gallery until the start of Marvel Rivals Season 3.
