Tips and Tricks

PLAYSTYLE AND STRENGTHS

Team Synergy: With Scarlet Witch, his C (Metallic Fusion) lets him deal extra damage with Chaos Energy, making him even deadlier in fights.

Shield Master: His E (Metal Bulwark) and F (Iron Bulwark) let him shield allies and himself, absorbing damage and turning it into power for his Mag-Cannon. Perfect for keeping your team alive in tough fights.

Knockback Power: His right-click (Mag-Cannon) knocks enemies back and deals more damage the more iron rings he has. Use it to disrupt enemy formations or finish off weak targets.

Projectile Block: His L-Shift (Metallic Curtain) blocks all incoming projectiles, giving your team a safe window to push forward or escape.

Big Damage Ultimate: His Q (Meteor M) lets him summon a massive meteor that deals huge damage. Plus, it absorbs enemy projectiles to make it even stronger. Great for turning the tide in team fights.

WEAKNESSES

Slow and Clunky: Magneto moves at 6 m/s and can’t fly, so he’s easy to catch if he’s out of position.

Shield Cooldowns: His E and F share a cooldown, so if you mess up the timing, you’re left without protection.

Ultimate Overload: If he absorbs too many projectiles while charging Q, the meteor can self-destruct, wasting the ability.

Vulnerable to Melee: His L-Shift can’t block melee attacks, so heroes like Black Panther or Wolverine can wreck him up close.

Reliant on Positioning: He’s best in close to medium range, so long-range heroes like Iron Man or Storm can poke him down from a distance.
