Marvel Rivals fans discuss the unfortunate ways in which Scarlet Witch's ult is seemingly doomed to fail, but one solution does give it the potential for excellence. Since its release last year, Marvel Rivals has quickly become astoundingly popular in the hero shooter genre, dominating in almost unprecedented ways. As it delivers on 6v6 action without a role queue, players can easily hop into new games and fight with friends, or alone.
Taking to Reddit to share their frustrations, the player onikatanyamaraaj explains all the ways in which Scarlet Witch's ultimate ability struggles to deliver. As her character loudly shouts 'Pure Chaos!' for a long wind-up duration while easily shot down in the sky, it almost feels like her ult can be a surefire way to get her killed. Unlike many other characters, she also gains no overhealth, shield, or immunity to interruptions.
The Cons Of Scarlet Witch's Ult In Marvel Rivals
This Ultimate Is Pure Chaos
Scarlet Witch has a lot of abilities to get ahold of in Marvel Rivals, but perhaps her trickiest to master is her ultimate. As a self-destructive explosive of sorts, her character needs to be positioned directly in the action to blow up anyone that's within her proximity, but it's a lot harder than it seems. Without any real means to keep herself alive and the necessity to be in the fight, many players find that her ultimate just doesn't live up to the other characters.
Two New Skins Bring New Animations, Songs & More To Marvel Rivals
The latest skins to hit Marvel Rivals bring some interesting new animations for abilities and even a new song to jam out to with Luna Snow.
Excluding the fact 'Hela are granted 800 extra health while ulting, Scarlet Witch is left incredibly vulnerable to attacks of all kinds. Plenty of other characters are also given a lot more protection, leaving players to question why her ultimate in particular is so hard to succeed with in comparison.
Our Take: There's A Simple Yet Hard To Reach Solution To Her Ult Being Wasted
Magneto and Wanda Are Stronger Together
While Scarlet Witch's ult on her own is a real challenge to master successfully, and can often leave players in risky positions, there is one solution that can make it much more worthwhile. If players are teaming up with friends, or perhaps get lucky enough to be paired with a Magento player, they can put this skillful trick to good use. With one of his abilities creating a metal shield around allies, this tank can be very handy for differing strategies.
If a good Magneto player happens to be teamed up with Scarlet Witch, they can choose to bubble her during her ultimate, essentially making her invulnerable. As players can no longer interrupt her ultimate or kill her before she blows up in this state, their only chance becomes to run. Guaranteeing Scarlet Witch a much greater chance at scoring kills and staying alive, this Marvel Rivals tip is one that any good Wanda main needs to try to implement --- with the help of Magneto, of course.
