Marvel Rivals: 5 best heroes to team-up with Magneto

Magneto in Marvel Rivals is a formidable foe to go against in the Vanguard category of heroes. His abilities are tailored to mitigate damage while charging up his attacking damage. This is a unique hero who can provide temporary personal shields to allies and utilize the incoming damage to recharge the rings on his back. His ultimate ability is great for disorienting opponents and scoring kills on weakened heroes.

Magneto in Marvel Rivals does not have any evasion skills so he needs a lot of backup in terms of regenerating health. If your team has only a single Vanguard and Magneto has to fight at the frontlines, you will need to have a dependable Strategist assigned to the tank. This will ensure that the defenses of your team can sustain long enough on the battlefield to take team fights.

List of the five most effective heroes to team-up with Magneto in Marvel Rivals

Here is a curated list of heroes, and villains, that you can pick to pair up with Magneto in Marvel Rivals:

1) Scarlet Witch

Scarlet Witch and Magneto form the Metallic Chaos team-up in Marvel Rivals. This provides Magneto with a special ability called Metallic Fusion, which powers his greatsword.

When this team-up is active, Scarlet Witch infuses Chaos Energy into Magneto, which enchants his greatsword. This allows Magneto to fire projectiles from his greatsword that deal a significant amount of damage to enemies. This team-up is particularly powerful for Magneto as it enables him to be a bit more versatile and aggressive instead of his monotonous defensive playstyle.

Furthermore, Magneto’s Metal Bulwark is extremely useful for Scarlet Witch as she is vulnerable when using her ultimate, which takes a few seconds to charge before dealing damage.

2) Mantis

Mantis is arguably the best Strategist to pair with Magneto. She can provide consistent heals with her Healing Flower ability while simultaneously giving a damage boost with Allied Inspiration, making her incredibly powerful when paired with Magneto.

Furthermore, her ultimate, Soul Resurgence, heals Magneto massively and gives him a much-needed movement boost, making maneuvering the frontlines easier.

3) Wolverine

Wolverine benefits greatly when paired with Magneto in Marvel Rivals. Magneto’s Metal Bulwark ability is a game-changer for Wolverine when he dives in with Feral Leap, protecting him from damage while converting the damage taken into Magneto’s rings. Metallic Curtain is also very useful for Wolverine as it allows him to get close to his enemies safely before diving in.

Furthermore, Magneto, although being a Vanguard, can potentially deal a significant amount of damage with Iron Volley and Meteor M, making it easier for Wolverine to finish off the weakened enemies.

4) Black Panther

Black Panther is another dive duelist who benefits from Magneto’s kit. T’Challa’s playstyle is extremely risky and often fails if the enemy team successfully predicts his movement. However, with Magneto in the team, he can use his Metal Bulwark shield to protect T’Challa from incoming damage all the while charging up his rings from the damage taken.

Magneto is no slouch when it comes to damage output, making it easier for Black Panther to dive in when the enemies are weakened and vulnerable.

5) Hulk

Hulk and Magneto in Marvel Rivals have completely different playstyles but have excellent synergy when paired. Magneto can provide Hulk with his Metal bulwark shield while diving in to increase his survivability and charge up his rings. Hulk can protect Magneto with his Indestructible Guard against aggressive heroes like Magik and Spider-Man while charging up his ultimate, Hulk Smash.

Having a secondary Vanguard by your side will always be better than solo-tanking for the entire team as it splits the enemy's focus between two characters. If one takes too much damage, the other can step in and take fights.

Magneto in Marvel Rivals is an important pick for most team compositions. His ability to convert incoming damage into damage is an essential tool that allows this Vanguard to dish out massive damage numbers while holding the first line of defense. Moreover, his personal shield can be a lifesaver for Duelists who go on flanks and need to regroup after scoring a kill.

Magneto in Marvel Rivals cannot use a shield continuously, unlike Doctor Strange. This is why he generally needs more healing and protection while fighting on the frontlines.
