Tips to play Scarlet Witch in Marvel Rivals

Scarlet Witch deals a lot of damage, so take full advantage of it. Whenever you’re in range, always use your Chaos Control as it isn’t very aim-intensive, only needing to aim near the enemy’s general hitbox. 

Using Chaos Control often also allows you to build up plenty of Chaos Energy that lets you use Chthonian Burst for a good amount of AOE damage. 

Scarlet Witch is also ideal for flanking, as her great range of mobility lets her sneak into backlines and focus down targets easily, and get out practically scot-free with her Mystic Projection. 

Reality Erasure is a great ult to start off team fights as the AOE damage it deals is massive, giving you an opportunity to pounce on a weakened enemy. But make sure you use the short period of free-fly to position yourself in a good spot.
