Strengths and Weaknesses[]

Strengths[]

Corvus Glaive

In addition to suffering from class disadvantage, Scarlet Witch's Veil of Fortune gives her a pretty good chance to activate a series of Buffs on herself, or Debuffs on her opponent. Since Corvus always inflicts Critical Hits with his Glaive, so long as he has Glaive charges, he's going to be triggering Veil of Fortune frequently, which can quickly give Scarlet Witch the advantage in the fight!

Groot and King Groot

After factoring in his class disadvantage, Groot relies on Fury Buffs from his Pacifism charges, and King Groot uses his own Fury Buffs for damage output. They both take advantage of Regeneration Buffs to keep themselves alive. Scarlet Witch can easily strip them of these Buffs or lay down a Heal Block on them and then snap them like little twigs!

Proxima Midnight

Proxima relies on her Prowess and Fury Buffs to maintain high damage output. Scarlet Witch can easily Nullify those Buffs, keeping Proxima's damage output low, and when gaining Fury buffs of her own, she can lay Proxima out pretty quickly. Proxima also suffers from class disadvantage against Scarlet Witch.

War Machine, Hyperion, Blade, and Old Man Logan

These Champions also lean pretty heavily upon their Buffs to vanquish their opponents. Cutting their Buffs out with Scarlet Witch's Nullify ability makes them pretty easy prey for her. She's particularly effective at causing Hyperion to burn through his Cosmic Charges quickly. Also, with her ability to throw a Heal Block down on Blade, his Regeneration will not give him any benefit and he'll still have to pay the cost in Power Meter. Finally, since she can strip Old Man Logan of his Regeneration Buffs pretty frequently, and since he lacks much else in the way of defense, she can make the fight very tough for him.

Weaknesses[]

Moon Knight and Crossbones

During a New Moon phase, Moon Knight mostly ignores Critical Hits, handicapping Scarlet Witch's damage output and her ability to benefit from Veil of Fortune. Crossbones doesn't trigger Critical Hits often either, instead using lots of Fury effects for high damage attacks, which will also handicap Scarlet Witch's ability to shut him down and put her in a world of hurt.

Ronan

Fighting Ronan is a matchup that Scarlet Witch will need to be careful in. Because Scarlet Witch can build up a lot of Buffs, if she gets hit by one of Ronan’s Special Attacks, not only will it hurt a lot, she could find herself Stunned until Ronan finishes her off.

Recommended Masteries[]

Lesser Precision and Precision

Scarlet Witch's best effects come into play when she (or your opponent) lands a Critical Hit. Much of her high damage output depends upon this, so investing in Precision will increase her chances of landing a Critical Hit. Lesser Precision will add up to +125 Critical Rating, and Precision will add up to +425 Critical Rating.

Despair

Scarlet Witch has a good chance of inflicting Debuffs on your opponent, and you can take further advantage of that with Despair, which will reduce your opponent's healing and Regeneration effects by up to 15.0%.

Assassin

When your opponent starts a fight low on health (below 18%), you can gain +30% Ability Accuracy, meaning that you'll be 30% more likely to trigger chaos magic on a critical hit if you've duped your Scarlet Witch. Decreasing their defensive Ability Accuracy by up to 20% and gaining up to +60% Attack Rating while your opponents are that low is an added bonus.

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.
