Overview

• Chrono Shield Cards, introduced in the Galacta’s Gift event, allow players to block rank losses in competitive play without requiring cooldowns.
• Players can earn up to eight free cards through the event, with a cap of 20 per inventory, and they reset at the end of the season.
• NetEase has clarified that the cards will not be monetized and are only usable by players in Gold rank and below to reduce pressure on lower-tier competitors.
• Critics argue the cards could encourage trolling, rank inflation, and undermine the competitive integrity of Marvel Rivals' ranked mode.
• Some players see potential benefits for struggling users aiming to reach Gold rank rewards, but skepticism over future monetization persists.
