"Recursive Destruction in Marvel Rivals: Triggering Guide for Empire of Eternal Night: Midtown"

by Alexis May 02,2025

*Marvel Rivals* is kicking off Season 1 with a bang, introducing new characters, maps, and modes. Alongside these exciting additions, there's a fresh set of challenges that reward you with free goodies, including a stunning Thor skin. Here's your guide to triggering Recursive Destruction in Empire of Eternal Night: Midtown within *Marvel Rivals*.

What Is Recursive Destruction in Marvel Rivals?

The initial challenge in the "Blood Moon Over the Big Apple" section requires you to trigger Recursive Damage, a novel concept in the hero shooter genre. This phenomenon happens when you destroy an object influenced by Dracula in a match, causing it to revert to its original form. Before you start blasting everything in sight, it's crucial to identify the correct objects.

To locate items that can trigger Recursive Destruction in *Marvel Rivals*, you'll need to use Chrono Vision. This tool allows you to see which items on the map are destructible. Access Chrono Vision by pressing the "B" button on your keyboard or the right button on the D-pad if you're playing on a console. Remember, only items highlighted in red will trigger Recursive Destruction.

How To Trigger Recursive Destruction in Empire of Eternal Night: Midtown in Marvel Rivals

A building that can trigger Recursive Destruction in Marvel Rivals.

To complete this specific challenge in NetEase's hero shooter, you must play the Quick Match (Midtown) mode. Once you've loaded into the game, start by helping your team defend or attack the Fantasticar. Use Chrono Vision at the beginning of the match, but you won't find any items highlighted in red just yet. You'll need to wait until the first checkpoint, at which point two buildings will appear on the map that can trigger Recursive Destruction.

Amidst the chaos of dodging enemy fire, take a moment to target these buildings. You might not see them return to their original form due to the match's intensity, but as long as you hit them a few times, you should successfully trigger Recursive Destruction. If you don't manage to trigger it three times, you can always retry the match. Once you've mastered this challenge, you can move on to the next ones, which involve trying out the new characters, Mister Fantastic and Invisible Woman.

And that's how you trigger Recursive Damage in Empire of Eternal Night: Midtown in *Marvel Rivals*.

*Marvel Rivals is available now on PS5, PC, and Xbox Series X|S.*
