Unveiled: Scarlet Witch, The Sneaky Marvel Rival That Dives Aren’t Ready For

by

In the game Marvel Rivals, it can be challenging to handle dive heroes, but an underestimated Duelist character serves as an ideal solution to neutralize characters such as Magik and Wolverine, effectively making them ineffective.

Each Marvel Rivals character possesses a unique gameplay approach. Certain ones excel in taking a tactical position to eliminate supports from afar, whereas others shine when they’re right in the thick of things, absorbing damage and safeguarding their teammates.

Among the hardest to manage are characters who specialize in diving headfirst into action, dealing significant damage while getting up close and personal. Once they’ve dished out their damage, they swiftly retreat to recover and repeat the process again. These characters, such as Magik, Iron Fist, and Wolverine, possess immense power and can be incredibly frustrating when skillfully used. This is why they are often ranked highly on many tier lists.

If certain characters are causing distress within your group, I recommend trying out Scarlet Witch as an alternative, which is both simple to use and effective.

Scarlet Witch is the perfect dive counter in Marvel Rivals

A tactical approach to silence diving characters effectively is by inflicting harm on them during their attack, either taking them out personally or compelling them to retreat. However, due to their exceptional speed and agility, they can prove elusive when it comes to precise attacks such as Hela’s or Winter Soldier’s.

Wanda effectively resolves this problem entirely since her main attack, Chaos Control, automatically targets enemies when aiming generally in the right direction. This means that if you’re following their movements and maintaining them within your screen view, you’ll consistently inflict damage without any concerns about missing shots.

This action intensifies the situation for the diver, significantly reducing the time they can linger. Although it may not eliminate them entirely, given that Scarlet Witch doesn’t deal massive damage like other duelists, it’s still sufficient to make them pause and consider retreating.

Her Dark Seal skill has the added effect of stunning opponents, providing you and your team with a temporary advantage to eliminate them before they cause significant damage to your backline. Furthermore, in critical situations, her ultimate can swiftly eliminate characters with lower health, which are often used by dive heroes.

In my gaming world, I’ve noticed a drop in the popularity of this character I adore – she’s just too good to ignore! However, it seems like only 6% of us gamers have been opting for her in Season 1.5. It feels like we haven’t quite figured out her secret moves yet, or maybe there’s a hidden strategy that’s yet to be unveiled. I can’t wait to see how things unfold!

If your team keeps losing against Magic, Spider-Man, or similar agile characters, the solution that could help you might already be clear to you.
