What buffs/reworks are coming in 2026?

So I know Ghost Rider & Thor Ragnarok won a poll for a buff/rework. There also is a whale poll for a rework on either Air-Walker, Cable. Hulk Ragnarok or Vulture.

WIth the release of the January changes to Deathless Vision, Spider-Woman, Toad & Dr Strange. I wonder if there are any buffs/reworks that we know of besides the ones I listed already?

If there is no further information I am curious to learn when we will recieve news on the future of the buff program since newly released champs are no longer getting tune-ups/tune-downs.

I think for now, just Magik and whoever win the Summoner Choice 2026.

Other than that no other info, but to be fair we are not even 2 week into 2026 yet

I don't think they will give heavy info about that anytime soon ,but news about characters who tune ups were requested like High Evo would be welcome

There is no tune up for that kind of champs, as the Rebalance program have shut down, with the last being Spider Woman, Green Falcon and Deathless Vision.

So any changes to champions now would be whenever Kabam feel like those champs need a buffs, so with new champions that won't be anytime soon. We are more likely to see older champions get buffs/tune up when they are coming to 7*.

I am curious if/when Kabam will shift focus on the buffs to no longer be exclusively 6* locked champions. So far the only 7-star champions getting tune-ups/buffs have been the newly released champions. But I think there are plenty of champions who are available as a 7* that could really benefit from a buff. If Kabam does decide to buff 7* champions I would like to nominate myself.

While I would mind a little tune up in some of the current / already released.

I remember Kabam mentioned how for the 7* pool they actively didn't release any from the bottom 30% or 20% (however they would consider it), hence why we get buffed Rhino, DPXF, ect.

This also would indicate that Kabam might not consider those that in the current 7* pool "need" tune up (even if I would agreed).

I think the only one champ that was in the 7* Basic pool that got a "buff" was Venom the Duck, in his own way.

So it might be a while yet, on the side note, I hate fighting "you", so if Kabam ever buff you, hope it is extra on attack and noy Def 🤣

You say you hate fighting me but don't act like I enjoy being beaten up either. WIsh we could just sit and talk but you summoners always crack my fishbowl instead. Do you have any idea how expensive it is to buy new fishbowls in this economy?

Actually, it is not spectaculations. It is really what Kabam stated when they announced that the Rebalance Program is shut down.

Champions are released how they are with no tune up or down, unless their abilities some how break the game (which Kabam always had the power to do, bug fix, nerf, however you would like to see it e.g Kingpin, Moleman).

Don't get me wrong, I would love it if Kabam would tune up High Evo and Dracula but it will not going to happen no matter how much we want.

Now now, I never pick a fight with you, once is a while you just pop up, then it damage reflect, then it falter, then it power drain.

Not even sure why you bother much with the Fishbowl either you still being a pain even when it is cracked.

Try to change your mind but nope no AAR.

Oh whoever said I win, 🤣

See me...I just like to chill 🤣
