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

As stated above, Magneto is a Vanguard class-hero, and while he might excel at taking space, he does not have enough firepower to deal with the entire opposing team. Naturally, pairing him up with capable heroes can help you strategize better and win your engagements.

Below, you will find a list of the five most effective heroes to team-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 the 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.

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.

Hulk can protect Magneto with his Indestructible Guard against aggressive heroes like Magik and Spider-Man while charging up his ultimate, Hulk Smash.
