Summary

  • Players can participate in the Fortune & Colors event to earn a free Star-Lord skin in Marvel Rivals.
  • Earn the free cosmetic through challenges in the Spring Festival event by acquiring Danqing.
  • Ultimately, completing objectives associated with the new Clash of Dancing Lions game mode.

Marvel Rivals players can earn a free skin for Star-Lord by participating in the hero shooter's Fortune & Colors event, which runs from January 23 to February 14. NetEase Games recently launched Marvel Rivals' Season 1: Eternal Night Falls, which added Mister Fantastic and Invisible Woman to the title's ever-expanding roster. In addition, the developers have stated that players can expect to see Human Torch and The Thing make their debut in a large mid-season update.

Star-Lord is a Duelist in Marvel Rivals, and as such he's tasked with dishing out as much damage to the enemy team as possible. The hero relies on a combination of ranged attacks and battlefield mobility to maximize the number of eliminations he can stack up during a match. Rocket Propulsion allows him to move quickly through the air, giving him the ability to reposition quickly in the middle of a fight. Star-Lord's Blaster Barrage is an area attack capable of harming multiple enemies at once when the hero is surrounded. His ultimate, Galactic Legend, launches him into free-flight while locking onto foes in rapid succession to maximize his damage output.

As part of Marvel Rivals' Spring Festival event, players have the opportunity to earn a number of free cosmetics, including a new Lion's Mane costume for Star-Lord, by engaging with challenges. In order to claim rewards, players will need to acquire Danqing, which is a currency unique to Fortune & Colors. Fans can accrue Danqing in a variety of ways, such as completing objectives associated with the new Clash of Dancing Lions game mode or satisfying challenges within the hero shooter's Quick Play and Competitive modes.

Marvel Rivals Players Can Earn a Free Star-Lord Costume

In addition to another added free skin in Marvel Rivals, players can spend Danqing to claim nameplates, sprays, Chrono Tokens, and a new Gallery Card. While there isn't a free MVP animation available for Star-Lord's Lion's Mane costume, fans can purchase Iron Fist's new Lion's Gaze bundle and utilize the included MVP screen for both characters. Gamers looking to take advantage of these offerings may want to act quickly, as Fortune & Colors only runs from January 23 to February 14.

A large portion of the community seems to have been surprised by the arrival of the Spring Festival, as NetEase Games only recently concluded its Winter Celebration event in Marvel Rivals. However, some fans feel this ambitious rollout of content is all part of the developer's long-term strategy to keep players excited and engaged. With so much to explore and even more updates on the way, many gamers are enthusiastic about the future of the popular hero shooter.
