Marvel Rivals Leak Reveals Nightcrawler as a Strategist
As the flames die down after the unsuccessful Path to Doomsday event, leaks have begun to emerge about the next hero arriving in Marvel Rivals. This isn’t a surprise; the community has long known Nightcrawler would arrive, but new leaks suggest he’ll be a Strategist.

Reports from the reliable team of Marvel Rivals dataminers, X0XLEAK, show that Nightcrawler is likely to be one of the next heroes coming to the game, and he will be a Strategist as well. Datamining shows that Nightcrawler, under the tag HeroID 1068, is extremely likely to be the upcoming Season 11 launch hero.

Nightcrawler will be HeroID 1068 and will almost certainly be our S11 Launch Hero.
ROLE: SUPPORT

Reports also say he will be one of the highest skill-ceiling supports, with an iconic ability to blink and teleport around the battlefield, catching enemies by surprise; since he is also in the support category, that suggests we will be able to bring our allies with us.
If this is the case, Nightcrawler will be fantastic for supporting dive characters and tanks, allowing your allies to easily blink into the backline or teleport them to safety.
