Ultron Guide | Marvel Rivals

Biography

Dr. Henry Pym designed this Ultron as a peacekeeper, of course. However, cold logic programming dictates that to achieve peace on the planet, humans must be destroyed.

Avengers banished Ultron to the far reaches of the universe, and he has just now returned. When the temporal event happened, and the entangled worlds are all ripe for the taking. Ultron also became aware that someone is attempting to erase him from all timelines, so he is coming to conquer and survive at the same time.

Overview

Role – Strategist
Difficulty – ★★✩✩✩
Tier – A

How And When To Play

Ultron is best when it’s picked as third support in 3 strategist compositions. He is so good when your team doesn’t rely on your heal that much, even tho his heal overall is not that bad, he is not great for burst heal and at protecting your Vanguards, but when your 2 other Strategists are doing their job, you are free to fly and put a massive amounts of damage.

If you are playing him as a second Strategist, the help of Iron Man team-up will make a change, because you will be able to heal a lot more, so don’t be shy and ask one of your teammates to go Iron Man.

Banning your direct counters like Hela and Hawkeye would be a smart thing, because even your team-up doesn’t want to play against them.

Try to hold your heal on a teammate who needs it the most, like flyers or ones that are not in line of sight of your main healers. Don’t forget to change it as much as you want because it has no cooldown. If you just let it on a player that is full health, you will get no ult charge, and we all know how important Ultimates are in this game. For maximum value, you should hold it onto grouped teammates in the fight, because it affects everyone around it. You can heal yourself also when you need it by putting Imperative: Patch (E) on the closest ally.

Don’t forget your Imperative: Firewall(RClick) will not only cast on you and allies close to you but also on teammates that have Imperative: Patch (E) on themselves, so use it if they are in danger.

Ultron’s main attack requires tracking aim, so I would advise practicing it if you are not already good at it.

How To Use Abilities

• Encephalo-Ray (LClick) – Unleash a burning energy beam. It’s a classic charge rifle; you track your enemy with a beam, with the last hit being higher burst damage. It does 12 dmg per hit while you track, and the last one does 75. Fallof starts at 20m distance and falls off to 75%, so you can hit them from very far.
  
• Imperative: Firewall(RClick) – Summon drones to grant bonus health to allies within range, centered on himself and the ally marked by imperative: Patch. Instant HP, so it’s good against burst damage. Protecting your duelist or other strategist with this after you use Imperative: Patch should be a very strong combo. Imagine getting hit with Spidey web, and he tries to one-shot combo you, just press RClick and he can’t do anything about it.
  
• Dynamic Flight(LShift) – Fly quickly in the direction of movement and then enter a fan Accelerated state. This makes him very hard to hit, you can use it do fast go back to cover when in danger, and also to make yourself harder to hit for long-range characters like Hela, Hawkeye, and the rest.
  
• Imperative: Patch (E) – Command a giant drone to follow an ally, constantly healing allies in its radius, with more healing for the designated ally. You should hold it in the middle of your teammates for maximum value because it heals everyone in the area around it. Sometimes, if you need heal for yourself just put it on the closest teammate around you so it heals you also. It’s not burst heal, so you can’t save someone from burst damage like Adam Warlock, but it’s amazing for protecting squishy teammates, especially flyers like Iron Man and Storm.
  
• Rage of Ultron(Q) – Summon Ultron Drones to fire Enchaphalo-Rays, damaging enemies or healing allies. Amazing ult form mid fight because you do both heal and damage so your team will have an advantage.

Team-Up

Iron Man – Stark gives Ultron a new ability called Nano Ray. It’s a ray that goes through your and the enemy team. Healing allies while doing damage to enemies. Like your Ultimate, it’s very good for mid-fight. Just know it does much more healing than damage, so helping your team should be a priority.

Strengths

Due to his hybrid role, meaning doing a lot of damage for a healer, Ultron is one of the best characters for 3 strategist team comps. If you put one of your duelsuits on him, you will have a massive advantage.

Counters

Hela, Hawkeye, Black Widow, Punisher.

Ultron, like any other flying character, has problems dealing with long-range heroes like Hela, Hawkeye, Widow, and Punisher. You should try to play close to cover and avoid open areas as much as you can. Also, use your LShift in those spots, making it harder to hit. Also know that his main attack has little fall of damage, so if you are confident enough, you can sometimes take duel.

Advanced Tips And Tricks

You can cancel his reload animation, after his charge on reload circle in the middle of the screen goes over half, by pressing his melee attack, or even better and faster by changing his heal robots on E to a new target.
