Marvel Rivals kicked off its Competitive Play feature in Season 0 - Dooms' Rise, inviting players who've reached level 10 to engage in skill-based matchmaking and climb the ranks, starting from Bronze. Just like in Quick Match, Competitive Play lets you pick from a diverse roster of over thirty characters spread across three roles: Strategist, Duelist, and Vanguard. Each win in Competitive Play earns you points, pushing you through the divisions of each rank.
As you ascend through the ranks in a Competitive Season, you unlock seasonal rewards, such as exclusive cosmetic skins for characters or Crests of Honor—emblems for your profile showcasing your highest achieved ranks. In Season 1 - Eternal Night Falls, you can earn the Blood Shield skin for the new Strategist, Invisible Woman, through competitive play. Below is a comprehensive guide on how to secure this coveted cosmetic.
How to Get Invisible Woman's Blood Shield Skin For Free in Marvel Rivals
Season 1 - Eternal Night Falls in Marvel Rivals introduced several updates, including enhancements to the Competitive Play feature. A new rank, Celestial, was added between Grandmaster and Eternity, offering three tiers to conquer, similar to the previous ranks. Alongside hero balance changes, the season introduced new rewards, such as S2 Crest variants for those reaching Grandmaster and above, and the highlight, the Blood Shield skin for Invisible Woman.
To claim the Blood Shield skin for Invisible Woman, you need to reach the rank of Gold III or higher during the competitive season. The good news is that these seasonal rewards are awarded based on your peak rank, not your final rank at season's end. So, even if you drop below Gold III after reaching it, you'll still be eligible for the skin. However, you won't see the Blood Shield skin in your Invisible Woman's cosmetics collection until the start of Marvel Rivals Season 3, as rewards are distributed at the conclusion of each season.
