"You don't stand a chance against my magic. I will make reality twist around you!"
—Scarlet Witch[src]

Scarlet Witch (Classic) is a Mystic Champion. Being a Mystic Champion, she has a Class Bonus against Cosmic Champions, but is weak to Science Champions.

Bio[]

Cast no evil eyes in the direction of Wanda Maximoff, aka the Scarlet Witch — the master of chaos magic. Her powerful hexes influence probability — making the impossible erupt across reality. A former member of the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants, she is a long-time member of the Avengers. Wanda remains close with her twin brother, Quicksilver.

Mechanics[]

A true wielder of magic, Scarlet Witch (Classic) lets loose in battle with a wide variety of Buffs and Debuffs to help turn the tide in her favor. She can Nullify Buffs and land more frequent critical Special Attacks. Be careful, you cannot always rely on her abilities to activate when you need them the most. But when they do, you’re in for a glorious performance. Maximizing her critical chance and helping her gain more power are the keys to getting the most out of the Scarlet Witch!

Abilities[]

'Critical Hits

  • Critical Hits have a 90% chance to Nullify, removing 1 Buff(s) from the opponent.

Expert Player Notes: Maximize Scarlet Witch’s chance to land Critical Hits to get the most out of this ability. Paring Nullify with the Mystic Dispersion mastery can yield quite a bit of power.

Signature Ability[]

Veil of Fortune - Critical Hits

  • Whenever a Critical Hit occurs for either player, there's a X% chance the Scarlet Witch triggers her chaos magic, generating 0-8 Buffs or Debuffs.

Expert Player Notes: The lesser used Special Attack for Scarlet Witch. It can come in handy if your opponent has triggered a potent Buff that you need to Nullify quickly.

Scarlet Witch sends her opponents flying with a bolt of Chaos Magic.

Expert Player Notes: Scarlet Witch’s most effective Special Attack. This attack benefits from increased critical rating and can hit very hard if paired with the correct Buffs. Scarlet Witch can get an additional source of Power Gain by bringing Spider-Man 2099 along, and also increase her Ability Power Rate (from Power Gain Buffs or Mystic Dispersion) by including the Jabari Panther Synergy.

Special 3 - Chaotic Bombardment
Scarlet Witch cuffs her foes into helplessness before crushing them with a bombardment of Hex Bolts.

  • 100% chance to Nullify, removing all positive status effects from opponents.

Expert Player Notes: A viable option to make sure all Buffs are Nullified from an opponent. In match-ups where dangerous Buffs like Unstoppable, Unblockable, or Evade are likely to activate, build up to and save this Special Attack as a failsafe.

Strengths and Weaknesses[]

Strengths[]

  • Healing
    • One of Wanda’s strongest abilities, enabling her to bounce back from massive damage taken in the course of combat.
  • High damage potential
    • Get lucky with your Buffs and land a critical Special Attack to see your opponent’s health disappear.
  • Nullify
    • Wanda has a high chance to Nullify a Buff when she lands a Critical Hit. If Buffs start to add up, you can also go for a Special Attack 3 and remove them all.

Weaknesses[]

  • Randomness
    • The chaos in Scarlet Witch’s abilities makes her inconsistent in many scenarios. Her Stun, Power Control, and Nullify on crits mechanics are powerful, but have no specific triggers, making fights difficult to control.
  • Critical Resistance
    • Wanda’s Buffs, Nullify, and overall damage output are all tied to her ability to land critical hits. Critical Resistance can completely shut her down.
  • Buff removal
    • Buffs make up a big part of her sustainability and damage output. Encounters that can remove or prevent her Buffs can be tricky.

Recommended Masteries[]

  • Mystic Dispersion
    • Having access to Nullify on critical hits and the Special Attack 3 means Scarlet Witch can take a significant benefit from running this mastery in Buff heavy match-ups.
  • Precision and Dexterity
    • Any way to increase her Critical Rating can be helpful to her damage, sustainability and utility.
  • Stupefy
    • Running the Stupefy mastery is important in getting the most out of your Parry Stuns already. But for Scarlet Witch this mastery can also help you squeeze in another combo following a Stun on the opponent.

Trivia[]

  • The name was changed from Scarlet Witch to Scarlet Witch (Classic) in December 2020, as a new Scarlet Witch was released as a boss in the monthly Event Quest.
