Magneto is a Vanguard hero renowned for his mastery over magnetism, allowing him to manipulate metal to shield allies and attack foes. As the 14th hero introduced to the game's roster, Magneto excels in frontline defense, using his abilities to control the battlefield and protect his team. His unique skill set makes him a formidable presence, capable of altering the course of engagements through strategic use of magnetic forces.

Team-Up: Metallic Chaos

The Metallic Chaos Team-Up ability activates when Scarlet Witch and Magneto are paired together. This synergy allows Scarlet Witch to infuse Magneto's greatsword with Chaos Energy, enhancing its range and damage. Once empowered, Magneto can unleash powerful attacks with his enchanted weapon, striking down enemies more effectively. This combination capitalizes on their familial bond, blending their abilities to control and manipulate energy and metal for devastating battlefield impact.

Abilities Overview

Iron Volley (Normal Attack)

Fire a volley of magnetic orbs forward. The range of the resulting explosion increases based on distance flown.

ABILITY TYPE - Single-cast projectile with delayed impact that also generates a spell field

DAMAGE - Projectile Damage: 40. The spell field deals 40 damage at its center, reducing to 50% within a 3m radius from the center

CHARGES - 10

INTERVAL - 0.8s

RANGE - Initially, it produces a spell field with a 1m spherical radius; when the projectile reaches maximum distance, the explosion radius expands to a spell field with a 3m spherical radius

MAXIMUM DISTANCE - 25m

PROJECTILE SPEED - 80m/s

Mag Cannon

Convert the iron rings on Magneto's back into a Mag-Cannon and launch a metallic mass forward. Higher stacks of rings increase damage, and full stacks knock back enemies.

How to Play Magneto in Marvel Rivals

Master Positioning: Stay close to your team and use cover strategically. As a Vanguard, position yourself at the front to absorb damage and protect allies, but avoid overextending.
Optimize Shield Usage: Use Metal Bulwark and Iron Bulwark wisely to protect yourself and allies from incoming damage. Time your shields to counter important enemy attacks and generate iron rings for increased damage output.
Leverage Mag-Cannon: Accumulate iron rings through absorbed damage to power up your Mag-Cannon. Use it for high damage and to knock back enemies, potentially pushing them off the map or disrupting their abilities.
Control Space with Abilities: Utilize Iron Volley to keep enemies at bay and control space. Learn its optimal range to maximize damage while staying safe. Use Metallic Curtain to block incoming projectiles and protect your team.
Time Ultimate Strategically: When using Meteor M, position yourself well during the charging period to absorb enemy projectiles for increased damage. Launch it at the right moment to disrupt enemy formations or counter powerful abilities.
