Marvel Rivals Players Criticize Scarlet Witch’s Ultimate Ability

Marvel Rivals fans are expressing frustration over Scarlet Witch’s ultimate ability, Reality Erasure, calling it “designed to fail.” Despite her potential as a high-damage Duelist, her ultimate is proving ineffective due to several flaws that leave her vulnerable in combat. Players are now pushing for buffs to improve her viability in matches.

Why Reality Erasure Falls Short

Scarlet Witch is a Duelist hero in Marvel Rivals, tasked with eliminating enemies through ranged burst damage and crowd control. However, while her base kit is strong, Reality Erasure has significant weaknesses that make it difficult to execute successfully.

A discussion on Reddit highlighted the ultimate’s key issues:

• Lack of Stealth: When activated, Reality Erasure makes Scarlet Witch yell and triggers a red exclamation mark over enemies’ screens, alerting them to the attack. This removes the element of surprise and makes it easy for foes to counter.
• No Defensive Buffs: Unlike heroes such as Hela and Winter Soldier, who gain shields or health bonuses during their ultimates, Scarlet Witch receives no additional protection, leaving her highly vulnerable.
• Easily Interrupted: Crowd control abilities can stop Reality Erasure mid-cast, rendering it ineffective. Heroes like Doctor Strange and Magneto can also nullify the attack using their shield abilities.

Fans Call for Buffs

Many players agree that Scarlet Witch’s ultimate is underpowered, especially as opponents have found multiple ways to counter it. To work around its weaknesses, some suggest pairing her with Magneto, who can deploy a protective bubble around her during the attack. While this won’t prevent enemies from dodging or shielding themselves, it would at least keep Scarlet Witch from being interrupted or eliminated too quickly.

Balancing Issues in Marvel Rivals

Scarlet Witch isn’t the only hero under scrutiny. Recently, Marvel Rivals’ Moon Knight has been at the center of controversy, with players believing his ultimate is bugged, causing it to deal double damage. The Marvel Rivals community is hopeful that NetEase Games will address these balance concerns in future updates, making adjustments to ensure every hero remains competitive.

For now, fans will have to wait and see if Scarlet Witch receives the much-needed buffs to make Reality Erasure a true game-changer.
