Marvel Rivals Reveals Ultron Ability Kit

Marvel Rivals will add Ultron as a new Strategist on May 30.

Marvel Rivals has given players their first look at gameplay of Ultron, who will become the popular hero shooter’s newest Strategist when he makes his debut on May 30. NetEase Games recently added the mutant Emma Frost to Marvel Rivals‘ ever-expanding roster, allowing gamers to lead the charge against their foes as a powerful Vanguard.

The developers recently announced that Marvel Rivals‘ major mid-season update will be launching on May 30, which will add some new features, team-ups, and balance updates to the game. In addition to introducing Ultron as a playable character, fans will have the ability to fight on the new Arakko map. According to the developers, the map will be a unique take on the iconic Marvel location, as Ultron has transformed it into a lifeless, machine-driven world. The update will also give some modest buffs to characters like Doctor Strange, while other heroes like Human Torch will receive slight nerfs. This is all part of NetEase Games’ constant attempt to re-balance the game’s roster to create a fair experience for everyone.

In a recent trailer, NetEase Games gave players their first look at Ultron’s ability kit in Marvel Rivals, showing off the character’s powers as he flies around the battlefield. The trailer shows him using his primary ability to shoot a beam from his right hand, which appears to both damage foes and heal allies. The recent Dev Vision update also stated that he will have a team-up ability with Iron Man that allows him to fire a version of the Uni-Beam from his hand that will pierce both allies and foes, dishing out damage and healing in equal measure.

Ultron Is Coming to Marvel Rivals on May 30

While Marvel Rivals‘ Strategists are capable of dealing plenty of damage, many players are most concerned about their ability to heal, buff, and generally support allies. From the footage shown, Ultron appears to be capable of rising to the task. At crucial moments, Ultron summons small drones that create shields for himself and nearby allies, though it seems to be very brief. Meanwhile, Ultron’s ultimate ability summons copies of himself and unleashes a series of targeted explosions capable of harming enemies and healing teammates.

Before the game’s next major update drops on May 30, players have time to wrap up the Hellfire Gala Moments and Galacta’s Gift events in Marvel Rivals. Completing all three acts of Hellfire Gala Moments will reward players with a new Patch costume for the Duelist Wolverine. Meanwhile, completing the Galacta’s Gift event will allow players to claim a Costume Coin, which they can exchange for a free skin. With so much content to enjoy and even more on the way, many fans are feeling optimistic about the future of Marvel Rivals.
