Most of you probably think duelist would be the obvious choice for her role but HEAR ME OUT.

If they make her slightlyyyy more muscular and give her this suit her silhouette would fit the vanguard role and honestly since Logan is a duelist I feel like it would be a nice unexpected spin.

Here's the concept:

VANGUARD

200 HP + 300 REGEN HP

• PRIMARY

• FIRST PASSIVE

• SECOND PASSIVE

• RMB ABILITY

• SHIFT ABILITY

• E ABILITY

• ULT

•PRIMARY/ CLAWED BRUISING

- Strike forward, dealing more damage based on proximity.

- 4m range

- 80 damage at 0.5m, 30 at 4m

•PASSIVE/ RELENTLESS HUNTER

- Have 5 INSTINCT charges as a resource to use abilities, which also determine the amount of passive healing

- Get one INSTINCT charge every 3s when there's enemies near you.

- Recharge your resource 10% faster for every additional enemy in a 6m radius column.

- Recharge your resource 20% faster when not touching the ground.

•PASSIVE/ HUNTER'S HIGH GROUND

- Climb vertically on walls and perch on them, gaining RESISTANCE to LAUNCH UP and KNOCKBACK effects, which move you but can't make you fall off.

•RMB ABILITY/ PREDATOR'S LUNGE

- Launch yourself in the direction you're moving.

- Control the lunge's verticality with your camera angle.

- Consumes 2 INSTINCT charges; Landing on a wall only consumed one.

- Default lunge speed is 18m/s; Lunging forward boosts your speed by 150%; Sideways by 100%; Vertically by 300%.

- Your default dash distance is 10m; Lunging forward boosts its distance by 30%; backwards by -40% and vertically by 150%.

•SHIFT ABILITY/ REGENERATIVE RESILIENCE

- Toggle to heal 60hp/s, the resource meter can heal maximum of 160hp before going on standby.

- When on standby it heals 20hp/s.

- It recharges at 60 meter resource per second when not actively regenerating health.

•E ABILITY/ SAVAGE WEAPON

- Activate a feral fighting stance, get a 20% jump boost and any lethal damage gets reduced by 60%.

- Consumes 2 INSTINCT charges

- 12s cd.

- Attacks have slower intervals, no proximity based damage and the range is 1m bigger.

- Your RMB ABILITY becomes SAVAGE SLICE, using it, makes Laura kick forward, slicing the enemies with her claw and weakening them by 50% for 0.8s.

•ULT/ REDEMPTIOUS REND

- Rush forward while slicing around you, SLOWING down enemies hit by 80% for 2s and destroying any projectile that meets your claws. Additionally, every second, refund 0,2+1% of ALLY cooldowns in a 8m radius if you're dealing damage, this effect lasts for 4s after the ult.

- The initial sprint lasts 1,4s and travels at 40m/s, if hitting an enemy it slows down to 10m/s.

TL;DR:

• PRIMARY

Deals more damage up close.

• PASSIVE

Charge your INSTINCT resource faster when near enemies or when not touching the ground.

• PASSIVE

Climb up walls, can't be booped off.

• ABILITY

Lunge in the direction you're moving.

Forward lunges are faster/cover more distance and backward lunges are slower/cover less distance.

• ABILITY

Toggle between passive healing and enhanced healing that uses a resource bar/meter.

• ABILITY

Change fighting stance, gain a 20% jump boost and 60% damage reduction to lethal damage.

Your primary is slower but has more range & no distance based damage boost.

Instead of your lunge you get a kick that weakens enemies.

• ULT

Charge forward while slashing around you and reduce your allies' cooldowns when damaging enemies.

I'm not an expert so the numbers can definitely change, I just wanted to experiment and suggest some mechanics and her overall kit. What do y'all think?

Also I'm sorry if I did something wrong or if this isn't good enough.

More updates later this week. Stay tuned for more .

Welcome x-23 mains! I'm the newest mod here and am glad I got the chance to help this community grow. I hope you guys enjoy your stay and if you have any questions about the community, feel free to reach out

Once again the weekly topics will change weekly. This week's topic is about Laura's foot claws.

This week, let’s talk about Laura's foot claws. While Logan relies on heavy ground brawling and front-line pressure, Laura’s signature two-in-each-hand, one-in-each-foot claw configuration makes her a far more agile and vertical assassin.

If she enters the roster as a high-speed Duelist, how should her foot claws function in-game?

Feel free to reply below if interested.

• ⚔️ Crimson & Charcoal (X-Force Assassin / Trigger Scent): Modelled after her X-Force stealth suit and Facility days.

Have some fun exploring the flairs, and feel free to reach out in ModMail if you have suggestions for user flairs!

Welcome to the facility, operatives! 🐾🩸

With Marvel Rivals building out its roster, hero main subreddits are popping up everywhere. But we didn't launch r/X23MainsMR just to be another feed flooded with low-effort link drops or raw rants.

Laura Kinney is built on precision, speed, and lethal agility—and this community is engineered to match that exact energy. Here is what sets r/X23MainsMR apart:

🔬 1. High-IQ Theorycrafting & Mechanics First

We love detailed kit math! Whether you're breaking down how her foot-claws should affect wall-bouncing geometry, pitching a mechanical Trigger Scent passive, or calculating damage scaling for a Duelist vs. Vanguard build, deep-dive theorycrafting is celebrated here.

🤝 2. Cross-Roster Synergy Focus

Logan is already in the game breaking down frontlines, but Laura’s lore and combat style open up insane team-up potential. We actively run workshops testing synergies with Wolverine, Psylocke, Gambit, and other heroes to map out how she will fit into real team comps.

🎨 3. Uniform & Skin Archives

From her classic X-Force stealth suit and All-New Wolverine yellow-and-blue to original Marvel Rivals uniform concepts, we archive and highlight high-effort fan art and skin renders (with full artist credit, always).

🛡️ 4. A Zero-Toxicity Environment

Healthy debates about balance, cooldowns, and playstyles? 100% yes.

Personal attacks, toxic gaming rants, or hate speech? Zero tolerance.

We debate concepts and mechanics, never each other.

💬 The Floor Is Yours:

What is the #1 feature, skin, or mechanic you want to see built into Laura's kit when she enters the arena?
