Tips to play Magik in Marvel Rivals
When playing Magik, you cannot be scared. You have to play up close to enemies or else you won’t be able to do anything.
If you’re caught in a tricky position, Magik does have enough escape options in her Stepping Discs and Umbral Incursion to get out of a misplay, however, be aware they’re not a sure-fire escape.
Luckily, if you are up close to an enemy, you should be beefy enough thanks to your passive to tank some damage while you kill off an opponent, but that it depends on the amount of damage you deal.
Good positioning is key to playing Magik well, so make sure you’re not engaging the enemy team alone. You should be the one to engage in the fight, with your team following suit.
Also, remember, when exiting Stepping Discs, you will be given the option to deal a close-ranged AOE attack or summon a Limbo demon that will deal damage for you, so make sure you are using it whenever you are engaging with an enemy.
The glaring weakness in her kit is against long-ranged characters, like Luna Snow and Hela, as they can easily whittle you down from afar. So just be very aware of your matchups and pick your battles right.
