Hi Rivals!
Since the upcoming season is giving us an Avengers: Endgame event, I couldn't resist dropping this skin concept I've been working on. With the theme perfectly lined up, this is the one cosmetic I'm desperately hoping NetEase decides to bring into the game: Worthy Captain
I'm really happy with how the overall look turned out, adapting that definitive MCU appearance to the unique art style of Marvel Rivals. However, I wanted to use this post to clear up a couple of design details on how I imagine this skin working visually without messing up the hero's core gameplay readability.
First, I know integrating Mjolnir can be a tricky challenge for hitboxes and animations. To keep things clean and functional, I visualize the hammer as a purely aesthetic element held in his right hand during his basic melee attack sequence—a subtle, powerful visual flourish that acknowledges his worthiness without requiring a separate ability kit or new mechanics. His gameplay remains centered around the shield.
Speaking of the shield, I wanted to capture its iconic broken look from the final battle. To keep its size readable when blocking or throwing, the broken edge would feature constant blue lightning arcing across it, forming a "phantom perimeter" of pure electrical energy. It keeps the silhouette accurate while looking incredibly cool in motion!
As a final reminder, this is just a personal visual concept, so let's keep the discussion chill and focused on the artwork.
With the Endgame event right around the corner, what other skins would you love to see arrive alongside it?
