5 best heroes you can use to duo with Magik in Marvel Rivals

1) Psylocke

While choosing a medium-range hero to duo with Magik might feel like an unbalanced choice at first glance, Psylocke’s move kit jives well with Magik’s. Whereas the latter focuses on damaging to the enemies, the former's kit relies more on confusing them. The resulting chaos lets Magik deal damage from unassuming positions.

Psylocke is a medium-range Duelist-class hero with some melee-focused abilities. She can use her Wing Shurikens to deal massive damage while regenerating her health. When in a team with Magik, she can use her Psionic Disk team-up ability to rewind time for a short period and escape from a sticky situation with some bonus health, making the two an excellent pair.


2) Black Panther

When it comes to melee abilities, Magik and Black Panther are both incredible for different reasons. While the former has great base damage and a variety of melee-based attacks, the latter is more agile and has a varied movekit.

Playing Black Panther and Magik together is especially effective thanks to their team-up abilities. When on the same team, Black Panther can activate the team-up ability Wakandan Master. When this skill is active, he can tap into Limbo to reverse time for a few seconds. Players can use this ability to undo a mistake or escape from a sticky situation. This ability is essentially a get-out-of-jail-free card.


3) Iron Fist

While Magik's melee abilities are great at close range, her attacks can be relatively slow, and while her damage output is no doubt huge, she doesn't have any movement abilities that can help give chase if a target escapes her grasp. You need a close-range specialist with an agile build to help complete the work.

Iron Fist is one of the best close-range high-speed Duelists you can choose to duo with Magik. While this team-up isn't necessarily the most balanced, both characters have different abilities that cover for each other, making for a fun team build to try out on the battlefield. Two DPS heroes going after a single enemy will likely demolish any hero in seconds.


4) Hawkeye

While Black Widow can be a great tag for Magik, you might want a character that sticks closer to the action, letting you cover each other's vulnerabilities. Thankfully, there is another long-range specialist to duo with Magik in the game who can fill this playstyle.

Hawkeye can be a great option for long-range players. While not a sniper, this bow-wielding Duelist can be incredible at long and medium ranges. His mobile nature and larger field of view can be helpful if you like the boots-on-the-ground approach while fighting alongside Magik.


5) Moon Knight

Magik's Soulblade is a long broadsword that has a wide impact area, especially when using her Eloritch Whirl ability to swing the weapon in a circle. As such, having a character that can forcefully group enemies together — leaving them at the mercy of her rampage — can work well as a duo with Magik.

Moon Knight is one such character you can use in the game. His Crescent Darts and Moon Blades bounce between enemies to provide area-of-effect damage. However, the ability that makes these attacks even more lethal is his Ancient Ankh, which pulls enemies that are in its range toward him, causing them to group together. This sets up Magik to come in and finish them off.
