The most decision-relevant August 7 balance values, with old and new numbers where the official post provides them.
Season 9.5 buffed Wolverine and Moon Knight while reducing Peni Parker's immediate control and bonus-health ceiling. The official post also changed several Vanguards, Duelists, Strategists, and team-ups.
Headline changes
| Hero | Current change |
|---|---|
| Wolverine | Rage per hit taken 5 → 8; decay delay 4s → 5s; max-Rage decay 15/s → 10/s |
| Moon Knight | Bounce decay 30% → 20%; Luminous Moon cooldown 15s → 12s; longer dash and a post-phase heal with Cloak & Dagger |
| Peni Parker | First snare applies Web-Tracer and a 30% slow; second hit immobilizes for 0.7s; two charges; bonus-health cap 200 → 150 |
| Doctor Strange | Daggers damage 16 → 18; charges 10 → 12; Gamma Maelstrom cooldown with Hulk 8s → 6s |
| Devil Dinosaur | Frenzied Feast percentage damage increased; Surf & Turf duration and healing increased |
| Venom | Symbiotic Resilience 120% → 110% of lost health; swing cooldown 8s → 10s |
| Rogue | Defensive reduction 55% → 60%; shield 250 → 275 |
Peni's change does not remove immobilization. It moves the control to a second snare hit while adding charges and more freedom to fire the first snare. Likewise, the Wolverine change affects Rage retention, not every damage value in his kit.

Was Peni Parker nerfed in Season 9.5?
