Marvel Snap Patch Notes – January 31, 2023

PATCH HIGHLIGHTS
* NEW FEATURE: Friendly Battles! You can now play against friends via an in-game code. Tap the new “Game Modes” icon on the navigation bar and then tap “Friendly Battle” to get started!

GENERAL UPDATES
* You can now change your name within the Avatar menu once every 30 days.
Zabu has been added to Series 5 in the Token Shop.
Updated Player Support conversations now have a red dot notification to let you know a response is waiting.

AUDIO
* A Voice Over Volume slider has been added to the settings menu.

ART & VISUAL EFFECTS
* Added new effects for Ghost Rider when there’s no card to play.

BALANCE UPDATES
CARD UPDATES
* **Leader:** [6/7] **On Reveal**: Copy all cards your opponent played to the location to the right, but on your side.
Dev Note: Leader is a prominent “finisher” in the current Snap meta, and we’re not happy with some of the card choices and play patterns he encourages, especially his strength against other cool 6-cost cards. We’re changing Leader to only copy cards played at the location to his right, with more base Power to compensate. We hope that this change will reward clever predictions and reduce the frustration of playing against him.

Wolverine: [2/2] When this is discarded or destroyed, regenerate it at a random location with +2 Power.
Dev Note: Wolverine sees virtually no play at the moment, which is a bummer given how iconic he is. We’re giving him a substantial buff to reward players for activating his effect and create new deckbuilding options at both low and high collection levels.

Note: We have updated his text from “play” to “regenerate” to better reflect his gameplay functionality. This is purely a flavor and clarity choice.

Text-Only Updates:
In addition to Wolverine, a few cards use the word “play” in their text but don’t actually play anything. This small update aims to avoid players misinterpreting how these cards interact with triggers that specify playing a card:

Hela

Jubilee

Sentry: Using more consistent language for similar effects.
LOCATION UPDATES
* **Text-Only Updates to**:
The Raft: Removing the word “draw” for accuracy.
Vibranium Mines: Removing “a card” for brevity.
