Marvel Rivals Season 7, "The Hunt is On," dropped on March 20, 2026, and the headline addition is White Fox (Ami Han), the game's 48th playable hero. She slots into the Strategist class with a twist that makes her genuinely exciting: she heals and deals damage at the same time, all while drawing on her Kumiho nine-tailed fox bloodline. If you've been waiting for a support hero who can hold her own in close combat, White Fox is exactly what you were looking for.
Who Is White Fox in Marvel Comics?
Before jumping into ability breakdowns, it helps to know who Ami Han actually is. White Fox is a South Korean superhero who belongs to the Kumiho, a species of shapeshifters capable of transforming into nine-tailed foxes. She made her Marvel Comics debut as an operative of South Korea's National Intelligence Service before eventually joining the Tiger Division, a government-sanctioned superhero team.
Here's the detail that matters most for Marvel Rivals players: Tiger Division also counts Luna Snow among its members, and that connection carries directly into Season 7's storyline. White Fox's mission in the new season is to rescue her Tiger Division colleague Luna Snow, whose New York-based allies have been caught up in the chaos gripping the city.

White Fox previously appeared in the 2015 Netmarble mobile game Marvel: Future Fight, making Marvel Rivals only her second video game appearance ever.What Is the Season 7 Story?
Kingpin has seized control of New York City as forces from 2099 Nueva York invade present-day Manhattan. Rather than welcoming superhero assistance, Kingpin has declared martial law and ordered the arrest of every costumed hero in the city. To further his plan, he's hired Black Cat (Felicia Hardy) to steal an enigmatic tablet he believes holds the power to stop the interdimensional invasion.
This setup puts White Fox and Black Cat on a collision course in New York, which NetEase Games described at a Rivals Assemble event as "a master thief and secret agent, collide in New York for an impossible mission." The narrative framing gives Season 7 a distinctly spy-thriller energy that separates it from previous seasons.
According to the Season 7 patch notes, the update also brings major balance adjustments alongside the new story content, including a universal ultimate charge nerf affecting every hero in the roster.
How Do White Fox's Abilities Work?
NetEase Games describes White Fox's kit in their own words: "White Fox wields the power of her Kumiho bloodline alongside swift martial arts, adapting her combat style to fit any battle situation." Here's what that means in practice.
Yeowoo Guseul (Fox Marbles)
White Fox's primary tool involves Yeowoo Guseul, or fox marbles, which serve a dual purpose: they heal nearby allies and simultaneously deal damage to nearby enemies. This is the core mechanic that makes her stand out from other Strategists. You're not choosing between healing and fighting. You're doing both at once.
Kumiho Energy Absorption and Buff
White Fox can absorb and store Kumiho energy over time, then release it in a burst that buffs teammates and charms foes. The charm effect on enemies adds a disruptive dimension to her kit that most support heroes simply don't have.
Ultimate: Nine-Tailed Kumiho Form
Her ultimate ability transforms White Fox into her full nine-tailed Kumiho form, granting nearby teammates unstoppable effects and lifesteal. According to the development team, this makes her an ideal pick for aggressive, forward-pushing team compositions. A well-timed ultimate can completely flip a fight that looked lost.
info
White Fox's ultimate pairs especially well with dive-heavy compositions. Unstoppable effects prevent your flankers from being locked down mid-engage, letting them complete their runs without interruption.

White Fox vs. Other Strategists: How Does She Compare?
White Fox occupies a niche that no other Strategist currently fills: close-range hybrid play with hard crowd control built into her kit. If your team needs a support who can operate in the thick of a fight rather than behind it, she's the clearest option available.
Does White Fox Have a Tiger Division Team-Up with Luna Snow?
The Tiger Division connection between White Fox and Luna Snow is more than just lore flavor. NetEase Games has suggested that this shared background may introduce unique team bonuses or cooperative abilities when both heroes are selected together. The specifics of any formal Team-Up ability haven't been fully detailed at launch, but pairing them is worth experimenting with given their narrative ties.
The Season 7 patch notes coverage confirms that Emma Frost and Magik are also receiving mechanical adjustments this season, which signals that NetEase is actively tuning Team-Up interactions across the roster.
warning
The universal ultimate charge nerf affects White Fox too. Her nine-tailed Kumiho ultimate will take longer to charge than it might appear in early preview footage. Plan your positioning around a slower ult rotation, especially in ranked play.
What Else Is New in Season 7?
Black Cat Arrives Mid-Season (April 17)
Black Cat (Felicia Hardy) joins the roster on April 17 as part of the Season 7.5 update, making her the 49th playable hero. Her kit leans into stealth mechanics, wall-running mobility, and probability-altering luck powers. Her Smoke Bomb ability and fast-paced movement style make her a very different kind of hero from White Fox, leaning toward the Duelist role.
Lower Manhattan Map (April 3)
A brand-new convergence map called Lower Manhattan arrives on April 3. The map ties directly into the Season 7 heist storyline and offers fresh terrain for competitive and casual play alike.
Album System
Season 7 introduces an Album System that lets players permanently save their Times Square photos and share them with other players for likes and interactions. It's a small quality-of-life feature, but one that adds a social dimension to the hub area.
April Pool's Day Event
From April 1 to April 3 (UTC), players can log in to claim a free Jeff Rodeo emote featuring Deadpool and Jeff. Using the emote with friends in Times Square earns Units and title rewards.

How to Unlock White Fox and Maximize Your Season 7 Rewards
White Fox is available immediately with Season 7's launch. To get the most out of the season's rewards, focus on daily missions first since new objectives refresh every day. Completing missions in AI matches counts toward daily progress, which makes it a faster path for players who want to grind Chrono Tokens without the friction of competitive lobbies.
Seasonal challenges and limited-time event missions in Times Square offer additional Chrono Tokens on top of daily tasks. The ten high-tier skins in the Battle Pass require consistent daily play, so building a routine early in the season pays off significantly by the time the May 22 deadline arrives.
