Scarlet Witch is one of several Duelist heroes in Marvel Rivals. She is arguably one of the easiest characters to play in the game, as her Normal Attack does not require you to target at all. Scarlet Witch is perfect for those who want to enjoy the game but do not want to bother with aiming. If you feel like that description is right for you, then you can learn more about Scarlet Witch below.
Scarlet Witch is a squishy Duelist hero who relies on her Normal Attacks and Ultimate to deal damage and wipe out enemy teams. Her Normal Attacks are the most notable part of her kit. Unlike other heroes in Marvel Rivals, Scarlet Witch does not have to aim. Her Normal Attack locks onto a target and keeps going until interrupted. This makes her an easy champion to pick up and great for those lacking in the aiming department. However, this also comes with a drawback. This drawback is that her Normal Attack deals less damage compared to other Duelist heroes. Luckily, you can work around this with Scarlet Witch’s ultimate [Reality Erasure].
Reality Erasure is a powerful charge-up ultimate that can instantly wipe out entire teams. It deals 750 to any enemy within its range and allows you to steal the show in team fights. Having said that, the ultimate comes with a 4-second charge time, so you need to be careful when and how you use it.
As for Scarlet Witch’s other skills, they are nothing special. She has a nice stun in her E ability that can help you set up play. She also has a good movement ability in her Shift, but it is nothing great and can easily be interrupted by enemies. In short, Scarlet Witch is a powerful champion who can wipe out teams, but that strength comes at a cost.
