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.

How to Play Magneto in Marvel Rivals: 5 Key Tips

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.
