Ultron has joined forces with the existing Marvel Rivals roster as the first flying Strategist. He has changed the team compositions upon introduction and will continue to do so because of the “off-angle” leverage that he has over other Strategists in the game. However, he is not suited to every character on the roster. Some heroes are better to have on your team when playing as Ultron. Today, we will explore five such names.

Best Characters to Choose With Ultron on Your Team

Picking a character suited for Ultron is all a matter of how you play the hero. Some players tend to “snipe” with him due to his low fall-off damage, while others pick off angles by going high up in the sky. A few even tend to stick low to the ground to assist their teams and continue getting healed from their own drone.

The team members to pick with Ultron mentioned on the following list are subject to the writer’s opinions and experiences and don’t reflect the entire truth:

  • Iron Man
  • Cloak and Dagger
  • Human Torch
  • Emma Frost
  • Magik

Those who want an explanation on why we have picked each of these heroes to be on this list can continue scrolling below.

1. Iron Man

Iron Man is the activator for the Stark Protocol team-up between him and Ultron. Ultron benefits from it by getting a new ability called Nano Ray. When used, it will convert Ultron’s Encephalo Ray (primary attack) into a consistent, unlimited beam that deals damage to enemies and heals any allies in its path.

It also pierces through all heroes on the battlefield and has an infinite range. Since Ultron has no other decent form of healing, this really helps in taking some load off other primary healers and farming the Ultimate faster.

2. Cloak and Dagger

Ultron is not a primary healer. He is more like a DPS character with some healing and overshield abilities. This was probably done to balance him out because a flying healer may be too difficult to take down. If you are somebody who likes to take on angles on the enemy team alone, you will get wiped off pretty easily.

This is why you can place your drone on the frontline or the backline of your team, take the off-angles, and trust the Dagger on your team to heal you. Her primary fire heals teammates, and they have a lock-on feature that makes it easier for her to heal a fast-moving target like Ultron.

3. Human Torch

Human Torch is another flying hero who can be a menace to have on the enemy team. One of the primary reasons why people are scared to pick him during a match is that he is difficult to heal because of his off-angle techniques and how he can be away from the line of sight of a healer. No more.

Ultron can place his drone on Human Torch and tail him to get off-angles on the enemy backline. Both of them can work together to easily target enemy squishies. Whenever he uses his meteor dive, your drone will keep him healed.

4. Emma Frost

Emma Frost is one of the best picks when you are forced to solo tank for the team. She has a 15m range to her primary fire, which is hitscan. Moreover, she has a shield to help absorb incoming damage. What makes her truly special is that she can also play anti-dive when needed. A Vanguard who is great at making space is a must-have on your team if you are playing Ultron.

Simply put your healing drone on her and let her do the magic. In this case, you will have to play relatively closer to the ground, but you can take an off-angle by going high up in the sky and coming back when you need healing.

5. Magik

Magik is a Dive/Brawl hybrid. She is a pretty strong opponent to face. Don’t get me wrong, she has many counters, and Ultron is certainly one of them. However, her passive is what makes her formidable. Every time she or her demons hit an enemy, she gains overhealth. This makes her immortal if played correctly.

Ultron can utilize this to his advantage by placing his drone on her as she pierces through the enemy backline. She doesn’t have to stalk the enemies as much as Black Panther because her ability cooldowns are slightly more forgiving than his. Moreover, the drone will allow her to be more reckless and give her an extra overshield through Imperative: Firewall.
