How Scarlet Witch should create ranked value
Scarlet Witch: Win a useful angle, force attention, and finish targets your team is already pressuring.
Editorial note: this section is Pocket Rivals advice for everyday ranked lobbies. Use the official source panel for canonical ability text, then use this ranked read to decide what to practice next.
First job
Play behind a Vanguard who creates the first distraction instead of opening alone.
Practice next
- 1Take an off-angle before using burst cooldowns.
- 2Keep mobility or a defensive tool for the exit.
- 3Shoot the target your tank or other Duelist is already pressuring.
Avoid
Do not open every fight by burning mobility forward. If the burst fails, you need an exit.

Wanda Maximoff's ability to manipulate chaos magic makes her one of the most powerful living beings in the universe. As the Scarlet Witch, she seeks to harness that chaos, restoring some semblance of order to a world that is constantly on the brink of destruction.
Since the Timestream Entanglement, chaos magic is one of the few forces holding the threads of reality together. Should her powers fail, the Scarlet Witch truly believes that this universe will disintegrate, along with everyone in it. It is a fate she refuses to allow... no matter the cost...
