Ultron Abilities and Ultimate
Ultron is a hybrid Strategist who can provide constant AoE healing and deal damage without a range limit. Here are his abilities and ultimate:

| Encephalo-Ray (LMB) | • Shoots a burning energy beam at enemies. |

| Imperative: Patch (E) | • Sends a giant drone to follow an ally, healing allies within its radius, with extra healing for the chosen ally. |

How to Play Ultron: Combos and Tactics
Forget everything you know about your typical healers in Marvel Rivals. Instead of staying in the back and focusing purely on keeping your teammates alive, you need to be more aggressive and help your team push forward. This balance between offense and defense is what makes him so valuable once you get the hang of it.
Your healing drone is your best friend. Use the Imperative: Patch ability to send the drone that can reach any teammate within your line of sight. The best thing about this ability, it never goes on cooldown, and enemies can’t destroy it. When you see an ally brawler like Magik or Mister Fantastic getting into a fight, go and send a healing drone toward them to make sure they are winning.
Your ultimate, Rage of Ultron, is insane when you use it right. It spawns a bunch of drones that shoot beams everywhere, damaging enemies and healing your team at the same time. When you see the enemy team using their big abilities, immediately activate yours and aim the rays toward your teammates. The massive healing will likely keep them alive through whatever the enemy throws at them.
