Unlock a stylish new look for a strong Strategist.

Most of the skins you can get in Marvel Rivals are pretty costly to purchase and unlock. Sometimes, though, free skins are offered up for a limited time, as is the case with the Flora Maiden Mantis skin.

Whenever a free skin is available, you have to complete certain tasks within a specified timeframe to earn it. If you’re not sure how to add this one to your collection, here’s how to get the Flora Maiden Mantis skin in Marvel Rivals.

You can unlock the Flora Maiden Mantis skin by completing the entire Cerebro Database event. This event includes four smaller event sections, unfolding over a few weeks, and all of them must be complete before you can add her to your collection.

The event unlock dates are as follows, with fresh quests that can be completed in each.

  • Event one: April 11
  • Event two: April 15
  • Event three: April 19
  • Event four: April 23

There are eight missions available in each section of the event. To finish a section of the event, you need to make three lines on the event board. These lines can be a row, a column, or a diagonal. A piece of the board is filled in each time you finish a mission, so once you have enough of them checked off to form three lines, the entire event section will be complete.

This event is massive, with many tasks to tackle. It’s best to chip away at them slowly over time rather than trying to get a bunch done at once since many of them require pretty hefty stats, like securing 40 assists or taking 20,000 damage as Emma Frost. Try using different characters, too, to find the ones that work best for helping you get the missions done.

How long is the free Flora Maiden Mantis skin available in Marvel Rivals?

The Flora Maiden Mantis skin is available for free until May 9, when the Cerebro Database event ends. The countdown until the end of the event is displayed on the event page, so you can always check there to see how long you have left to claim the Mantis skin for free.

According to XOXLEAK, a reliable community member who has accurately predicted lots of Marvel Rivals content before, the Flora Maiden Mantis skin will eventually be available for purchase in the shop after the event ends. Other event skins, like the Scarlet Witch Chaos Gown outfit, will also be obtainable.

The Flora Maiden Mantis skin is expected to cost 1,100 Units. Her shop release date is unknown, so it’s best to get her during the event to ensure you can earn this outfit without spending Units and waiting for it to become available again.

There are plenty of other skins worth unlocking next, like all Hellfire Gala outfits and all season 2 battle pass skins. Season two also has a few other tricky gameplay features you may need some help navigating, so consider learning how to send gifts and how to turn on switch shader compilation mode.
