Marvel Rivals is constantly adding new ways to give us more control over how our characters look, from heaps of premium cosmetics to costume customisation in Season 2. NetEase has taken this a step further now with ultimate customisation, which lets you tweak ultimate ability VFX and UI. Just like the addition of customisable costumes, however, it's not as simple as you'd hope.
If you're looking for more ways to perfect your fashion game, then it's your lucky day, as Marvel Rivals Season 3 also brings accessories. These are charms that can be equipped on specific characters for some added flair. They're not quite as flashy as ultimate [[link]] customisation, but they're arguably even cooler since you can get them for free.
How to customise ultimate abilities in Marvel Rivals
To customise ultimate ability VFX, you first need to find an applicable costume in either the hero gallery or the store, as this feature is actually limited to specific costumes, and not all characters have them. Applicable skins have the ultimate ability icon next to them on the store page, just like the colour palette used to signify a costume has colour options available.
Once you've found one you like, click the customise button above the usual acquire or equip option and select ultimate ability VFX in the options on the right. This will prompt you to purchase the upgrade for 600 Unstable Molecules, which are converted from Lattice, the premium currency, at a 1:1 rate.
Annoyingly, just like the alternate colour options, you need to buy the base version of the customisable costume, which typically costs around 2,000 units for the skin alone, or 2,200 units for the bundles. Alternate colours are sold separately for 600 units, and these VFX work across any of [[link]] the variations.
You can disable the enhanced ultimate ability effects or swap between colour palettes whenever you want by heading back to this menu if you ever change your mind.
All ultimate customisation options in Marvel Rivals
While eight characters have customisable costumes, only two of these have the option for cool ultimate ability VFX:
- Scarlet Witch: Immortal Sovereign skin
- Jeff the Land Shark: Sunshine Land Shark skin
When you have ultimate VFX enabled, you'll see neat details around the ability icon (such as dragons in Scarlet Witch's Immortal Sovereign skin) and, of course, tweaked animations and effects when you activate your ultimate. These are easy to preview on the store [[link]] page, so you can decide if you like them before purchasing.
