Marvel Rivals has captivated players since its launch with its dynamic roster of iconic Marvel heroes and thrilling combat. Season 1, Eternal Night Falls, introduced exciting new maps and a collection of stylish character skins. Among these coveted cosmetics is the striking Blood Shield skin for Invisible Woman, and it’s available absolutely free.
This guide will explain how to add this unique skin to your collection. The gothic vampire aesthetic of Season 1 perfectly complements the Dracula-themed narrative, making the Blood Shield skin a must-have for any Invisible Woman enthusiast. While premium skins like Invisible Woman’s Malice skin offer a darker allure, the free Blood Shield option provides a fantastic alternative for players looking to personalize their hero without spending any money.
Earning the Blood Shield Skin through Competitive Play
Marvel Rivals Season 1 competitive rewards
The Blood Shield Invisible Woman skin is exclusively earned through ranked Competitive play during Season 1, Eternal Night Falls (January – April 2025). To unlock this distinctive red and black vampiric-themed skin, you must achieve Gold rank or higher. This requires participating in at least 10 competitive matches and progressing through the ranking tiers.
Unlike other cosmetic items available for purchase, the Blood Shield skin is only obtainable through this ranked achievement. Your highest achieved rank determines the rewards you receive. Even if you drop below Gold rank later in the season, you will still receive the skin at the start of Season 2.
Reaching Gold Rank: A Step-by-Step Guide
Before diving into Competitive mode, ensure your account is at least Level 10. If you’re not there yet, focus on Quick Match games or complete daily missions for rapid experience point gains. Once you’ve unlocked Competitive mode, concentrate on winning matches to climb from Bronze to Gold.
Each victory typically awards 20-25 points, with 100 points required to advance through each division (e.g., Bronze III to Bronze II). Starting from Bronze III, reaching Gold III requires approximately 25-30 wins, assuming a perfect win rate. Playing familiar heroes and adapting to your team’s composition will significantly increase your chances of success.
The Blood Shield skin was made available to players who reached Gold rank with the mid-season update in February 2025. If you missed the initial opportunity, you still have a second chance to earn it before the season concludes in April.
Maximize Your Season 1 Rewards
Don’t miss out on other free rewards available during Season 1. The battle pass offers free skins for Peni Parker and Scarlet Witch, alongside the Blood Shield Invisible Woman skin.
