Marvel Rivals Lunar Luna Chroma adds Pink Planets and Dark Nebula as the new Chroma treatment for Luna Snow’s Lunar Luna costume, with a dedicated Ultimate Ability VFX included in the October 2026 release. NetEase lists the Chroma as available from October 2 at 02:00 UTC until October 30 at 02:00 UTC.
The distinction matters because Marvel Rivals Lunar Luna Chroma is not the same acquisition route as the October 1 Pop & Win rotation. Pop & Win highlights the base Lunar Luna costume alongside Phoenix’s Cosmic Spark, while the Chroma is a separate store item built around recolouring the Lunar Luna look and changing the visual effect attached to Luna Snow’s Ultimate Ability.

The official October 1 patch notes name Marvel Rivals Lunar Luna Chroma as “Pink Planets/Dark Nebula” and explicitly mention an Ultimate Ability VFX. That confirms this is more than a tiny menu recolour: the Chroma changes the costume’s palette and also carries a dedicated visual treatment when Luna Snow uses her Ultimate.
NetEase does not publish the Chroma’s exact Lattice price in the patch notes. That means any price shown before the October 2 shop refresh should not be treated as confirmed. Check the live store once the Chroma becomes available and use the price shown on your account before buying.
How to Get Marvel Rivals Lunar Luna Chroma
To get the Chroma, wait for the store availability window to begin on October 2 at 02:00 UTC, then open Luna Snow’s Lunar Luna cosmetic listing and look for the Pink Planets/Dark Nebula Chroma option. The patch notes place the Chroma in the New In Store section rather than the Pop & Win section, which is why it should be treated as a store acquisition rather than an event milestone.
If you do not already own or have access to the required base costume, read the live purchase screen carefully before committing currency. The official note confirms the Chroma and its availability window, but it does not spell out every ownership prerequisite in text. The game client is therefore the safest place to verify whether your account needs Lunar Luna first or whether a bundle path is offered.
When Is Marvel Rivals Lunar Luna Chroma Available?
| Milestone | Date | Time |
|---|---|---|
| Store opens | October 2, 2026 | 02:00 UTC |
| Store closes | October 30, 2026 | 02:00 UTC |
The Marvel Rivals Lunar Luna Chroma window is much longer than the current Pop & Win rotation. It begins a day after the Version 20261001 patch and remains listed through October 30. If your only goal is the Chroma, there is no reason to assume you must obtain it on October 2, but the end time is fixed in the official notes and should be treated as the cutoff.
Does Marvel Rivals Lunar Luna Chroma Have Different Ultimate VFX?
Yes. NetEase specifically lists an Ultimate Ability VFX with the Chroma. That is the strongest confirmed functional difference beyond the colour treatment. It does not mean the Chroma changes Luna Snow’s damage, healing, cooldowns or competitive balance. The VFX is cosmetic and should be understood as a presentation change rather than a gameplay advantage.
That separation is useful if you are deciding whether the variant is worth buying. Players who care about visible ability presentation get something more noticeable than a simple palette swap, while anyone focused only on gameplay can skip it without losing power or event progress.
Is Marvel Rivals Lunar Luna Chroma Part of Pop & Win?
No. The October 1 Marvel Rivals Pop & Win rotation features the base Lunar Luna costume and Phoenix’s Cosmic Spark as its highlighted prizes. The Chroma appears separately under New In Store with its own October 2 to October 30 availability window.
This is similar to the way other overlapping Season 10 activities stay separate. Season 10 Twitch Drops, Jeff’s Superstar Search rewards, Dream Eater rewards and Galacta’s Gift Vol. 3 all have their own progress and claim rules. Buying or unlocking one system does not automatically complete another.
What to Do if Marvel Rivals Lunar Luna Chroma Is Missing
If Marvel Rivals Lunar Luna Chroma is not visible before October 2 at 02:00 UTC, the store window has not opened yet. If it is missing after that time, confirm that Version 20261001 is installed, restart the game client if your store page has not refreshed, and check Luna Snow’s costume options again.
Do not rely on the October 1 patch deployment time for this particular cosmetic. The game patch arrives at 09:00 UTC on October 1, but the Chroma store listing is scheduled for October 2 at 02:00 UTC. Those are two different clocks, and the later store time is the one that controls when the Chroma should appear.
