Marvel Rivalscontinues to introduce new characters to the game each season as part of the live-service format it follows. In Season 2.5, the latest hero to join the game is Ultron, who has been added to the Strategist roster. Ultron has made quite a significant impact following his release, due to a unique kit and solid damage potential, particularly thriving in triple Strategist team comps.
However, as Ultron has such great potential, he can be a pesky hero to overcome when you’re facing off against him. This is boosted even more due to flying heroes currently being in a very strong spot as of Season 2.5, as well ashis worthy Team-Up ability with Iron Man. For this reason, many players have been looking for answers on how to deal with and even counter Ultron on each role. To help point you in the right direction, some of the best options have been outlined in the guide below.
How to Counter Ultron in Marvel Rivals
Ultronis a very strong hero when in capable hands. While on his own, he doesn’t have high healing output; his Team-Up with Iron Man helps make up for this, and he has very solid damage with brilliant range. Additionally, his shields help to sustain himself and vulnerable allies through focus fire, meaning he has quite a bit of utility to offer. Knowing how to counter Ultron will certainly come in handy, so the best choices for doing so across every role have been explained below.
Best Ultron Counters On Vanguard
There aren’t many options when it comes to shutting Ultron down completely on Vanguard. However, Shield tanks make some of the best options, as they can work with their team to block Ultron’s incoming damage and help their DPS to apply pressure from cover.
Best Ultron Counters On Duelist
Ultimately, the majority of the time, it will be up to the Duelists of the team to counter Ultron. When it comes to countering on this role, ranged characters (primarily hitscan and snipers) are, for the most part, the best option. However, some characters who have the ability to solo target heroes and apply lots of pressure (such as Spider-Man) can often work in the right hands, too.
Best Ultron Counters On Strategist
Strategists are actually surprisingly valuable when it comes to assisting in shutting down a good Ultron. This is because the Strategist Role has some of the best CC and utility in the game, which can then be used to focus Ultron while also sustaining yourself and your team with heals.
