Scarlet Witch Abilities and Ultimate
Playing as Scarlet Witch is relatively simple. Her basic attack doesn’t require perfect aim, and her Ultimate can wipe out the entire enemy team when used at the right time. She also has an escape skill, which is a crucial part of her kit for repositioning and survival.
| Ability Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Chaos Control (LMB) | • Deal damage based on the enemy’s Max Health and restore Chaos Energy. |
| Reality Erasure (Q – Ultimate) | • Fly and charge energy, then release it to deal massive damage. |
| Mystic Projection (SHIFT) | • Enter or exit free-flight with Phased state. |
| Dark Seal (E) | • Create a Force Field that periodically stuns enemies. |
| Telekinesis (SPACE) | • Fall slowly by holding Space. |
| Chthonian Burst (RMB) | • Consume Chaos Energy to fire explosive magic missiles. |
| Sorcery Surge (Team-Up) | • Replaces Chthonian Burst with Mystic Burst. • Unleash a rapid salvo of magical missiles. |
How to Play Scarlet Witch: Combos and Tactics
Scarlet Witch is all about keeping the pressure on. Her main attack, Chaos Control (left-click), never runs out of ammo, so you should always be shooting something. The secret is to always mix your left and right clicks. Your left-click fills up your right-click (Chthonian Burst) orbs super fast, and those orbs pack a punch.
Don’t hoard those right-click orbs, though. They’re great for finishing off weak enemies, hitting groups, and helping out teammates in fights across the map. If you’ve got more than two charges sitting there, you’re not using them enough. Fire them off, and they come back quickly when you use your main attack.
Here’s how to position yourself:
- Don’t just stand behind your Vanguard. Get up high or sneak around to put pressure on enemies.
- Stay in the air a lot. It helps you dodge attacks and gives you better angles to shoot from.
- Stick close enough to your team, so when Spider-Man or Black Panther try to jump you, your auto-aim left-click and stun field can handle them.
Your ultimate ability, Reality Erasure, needs some setup. Find cover while you’re flying around, and when you see that third orb appear, that’s your cue to dive in. You don’t need to hit everyone. Try taking out one or two key players or forcing enemies off the point, and you can win the fight. Just watch out for stuns during your cast time, and don’t waste both your flight charges right before you ult.
Scarlet Witch struggles against shield heroes and tanky enemies since she can’t burst them down fast. Go after the squishier targets and always look for safe spots and good timing to make the most of your damage and survival tools.
