Marvel Rivals: Free Mantis Skin "Flora Maiden" Drops with Hellfire Gala Event

Marvel Rivals, the popular 6-vs-6 hero shooter developed by NetEase in partnership with Marvel Games, is kicking off an exciting new phase with Season 2 and fans are already buzzing about one major announcement. As part of the game’s latest in-game event, players will be able to unlock a new and completely free skin for the character Mantis, titled “Flora Maiden.”

This skin becomes available starting April 11, 2025, through the Cerebro Database event, which is part of the broader Hellfire Gala celebration. The event is set on the iconic mutant island of Krakoa, offering players a vibrant, lore-rich backdrop for new content.

The “Flora Maiden” skin gives Mantis a dramatic makeover inspired by Krakoa's lush, living environment. Known from the Guardians of the Galaxy universe, Mantis plays a key role in Marvel Rivals as a Strategist hero. She specializes in long-range support, focusing on healing, enhancing allies with buffs, and even dealing notable damage on her own. With the new skin, she now looks like she’s part of the wild, plant-like world of the mutant island, showing her strong connection to the event’s setting.

 

 

Expanding the Universe

Season 2 isn’t just about a single skin or event, it represents a major content drop that continues to grow the Marvel Rivals universe. The game introduces new playable heroes including the powerful psychic Emma Frost and the infamous villain Ultron, both bringing their own unique abilities and gameplay styles.
Players can also look forward to more free skins in addition to Mantis’ new look. Characters such as Scarlet Witch and Namor are receiving special seasonal outfits, further adding to the visual diversity and flair of the game. The developer’s monthly update model means fans can expect fresh content regularly, with recent additions like Human Torch and The Thing keeping the roster dynamic and evolving.

More Than Just a Skin

The “Flora Maiden” skin is a cool new addition, but it’s just one part of a bigger plan to grow Marvel Rivals’ world and keep things exciting for players. Events like the Cerebro Database don’t just give in-game rewards, they also add to the story, helping players feel more connected to the Marvel multiverse.

With Season 2 officially underway, Marvel Rivals shows no signs of slowing down. The new content, especially the themed additions from the Hellfire Gala, keeps fans engaged both visually and through gameplay. The free Mantis skin is a nice bonus that shows the developers care about giving back to their community.
Whether you're a long-time Marvel fan or just getting into the game, Now’s the perfect time to jump in and see what the mutant island of Krakoa and Marvel Rivals overall has to offer.
