The event includes new cosmetics for Star-Lord, Iron Fist, and Black Widow, free earnable rewards, and the new Clash of Dancing Lions limited-time mode. While the rules of the game mode have yet to be fully revealed, Clash of Dancing Lions looks very similar to L\u00facioball from Overwatch 2.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1245\" height=\"695\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1245px) 100vw, 1245px\" src=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/20250122-43042-002.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-43044\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/20250122-43042-002.jpg 1245w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/20250122-43042-002-380x212.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/20250122-43042-002-768x429.jpg 768w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"what-is-lucioball\">What is L\u00facioball?&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>L\u00facioball is an Overwatch 2 limited-time event where two teams comprised of three Lucio players each play to get an absurdly large soccer ball into the enemy team\u2019s even larger goal. The game takes inspiration from Rocket League in that players can use Lucio\u2019s abilities to gain advantages when scoring points or defending the goal. The team that scores the most goals at the end of the game or has five more points than the enemy team at any given time wins.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1243\" height=\"698\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1243px) 100vw, 1243px\" src=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/20250122-43042-001.jpg\" alt=\"Marvel Rivals Clash of Dancing Lions\" class=\"wp-image-43045\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/20250122-43042-001.jpg 1243w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/20250122-43042-001-380x213.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/20250122-43042-001-768x431.jpg 768w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"clash-of-dancing-lions-looks-exactly-like-lucioball\">Clash of Dancing Lions looks exactly like L\u00facioball&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Based on the Spring Festival Trailer, it looks as though the Clash of Dancing Lions game mode is copying L\u00facioball\u2019s homework. Instead of three music-powered Lucios, two teams will each have a Star-Lord, Iron Fist, and Black Widow duking it out. Most ranged attacks seem to be disabled, so instead of shooting each other, players will have to <a href=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/tips\/marvel-rivals-how-to-display-attack-range-for-melee-attacks\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">use their melee abilities<\/a> to knock opponents and steal the ball. The ball can be passed to fellow teammates, adding a layer of complexity and strategy to the mode.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Completing event missions and challenges during the Spring Festival rewards players with Danquing \u2013 a dye that can be used to add color to the event\u2019s Gallery Card.
