Who are the best heroes to duo with Scarlet Witch in Marvel Rivals?

1) Magneto

As Scarlet Witch’s father in multiple MCU timelines, Magneto offers great synergy through their Metallic Chaos team-up ability. Scarlet Witch infuses Chaos Energy into Magneto’s greatsword, transforming his melee attacks into devastating ranged strikes. This partnership amplifies Magneto’s role as a melee tank, while Scarlet Witch benefits from a 10% damage boost.

This duo thrives in offensive plays, particularly against backline enemies, as Magneto’s tankiness allows him to frontline while Scarlet Witch sets up devastating attacks, like her Reality Erasure ultimate.

2) Venom

Venom's Vanguard role makes him a great fit for Scarlet Witch. He can be a tank due to high base health and bonus health abilities, which let him dive into the fray and keep enemies occupied, allowing Scarlet Witch to focus on ranged attacks and area stuns with Dark Seal. Venom creates chaos with his Frenzied Arrival and Cellular Corrosion combos.

While certainly not the quickest hero, his ability to swing, dive into fights, and disrupt enemies with his Feast of the Abyss ultimate is what creates the necessary space for Scarlet Witch to safely execute her own powerful abilities.

3) The Punisher

The Punisher’s versatility as an all-range Duelist makes him a reliable partner for Scarlet Witch. With his toolkit of close-range shotgun, mid-range rifle, and turret, he excels at controlling space, allowing Scarlet Witch to position herself safely. His ability to punish mobile heroes like Spider-Man and Iron Man ensures Scarlet Witch can charge her Reality Erasure without being interrupted.

When paired, they dominate objectives by combining Punisher’s area denial with Scarlet Witch’s devastating AoE damage.

4) Mantis

Mantis provides Scarlet Witch with constant healing and utility. Her Life Orbs keep Scarlet Witch alive during long battles since Wanda has a low health pool. Mantis's Spore Slumber can incapacitate flankers targeting Scarlet Witch, giving her time to reposition.

They form a balanced duo, with Mantis sustaining Scarlet Witch, letting her unleash her Reality Erasure ultimate or maintain constant pressure with her mid-ranged attacks.

5) Psylocke

Psylocke's mobility and her ability to assassinate complement Scarlet Witch's area-based damage. While Scarlet Witch draws enemy attention with her stuns and ultimates, Psylocke can use her Psychic stealth and dashes to pick off squishy backline targets with her Psionic blades. Her Shuriken abilities regenerate, which allow her to consistently disrupt enemies.

Psylocke's Dance of the Butterfly ultimate works well with Scarlet Witch's Dark Seal, concussing foes and reducing their HP. Together, they could become a deadly duo against teams with precise and well-coordinated attacks.
