Scarlet Witch
Embrace the chaos.Scarlet Witch is a high-damage duelist in Marvel Rivals, specializing in short-range combat, crowd control, and area-of-effect (AoE) abilities. Her kit revolves around dealing consistent damage with her Chaos Control basic attack, stunning enemies with Dark Seal, and unleashing devastating AoE damage with her ultimate ability, Reality Erasure. Scarlet Witch excels at flanking enemy teams, disrupting their formation, and eliminating squishy targets like strategists or ranged duelists. However, her low health pool and reliance on positioning make her vulnerable to crowd control and burst damage.
Scarlet Witch thrives in team compositions that include vanguards like Magneto or Groot, who can protect her while she deals damage from mid-range. However, Scarlet Witch struggles against burst damage heroes who can interrupt her ultimate or take her out quickly, such as Luna Snow or Hawkeye.
How to play Scarlet Witch in Marvel Rivals
Positioning is critical for Scarlet Witch due to her low health pool and vulnerability during engagements. Use Mystic Projection to flank enemy teams or escape dangerous situations; this ability also allows you to take high ground for better visibility and safety. When engaging in fights, open with Dark Seal to stun enemies and create opportunities for follow-up attacks from your team.
Activate your ultimate when enemies are grouped together around objectives or during choke-point fights where they have limited mobility options, and are ideally distracted. Coordinate with your team to ensure you're protected while charging the ultimate, heroes like Magneto and Luna Snow can help keep you alive during this vulnerable period.
Scarlet Witch excels in brawl compositions where teammates can keep enemies occupied while she deals consistent damage from a safe distance.
