Strengths & Weaknesses

Strengths:

✔ High burst and sustained damage potential. ✔ Reality Erasure is a game-changing Ultimate in team fights. ✔ Mystic Projection provides invulnerability and high mobility. ✔ Dark Seal is excellent for crowd control and zoning. ✔ Auto-aim primary attack makes her beginner-friendly.

Weaknesses:

✖ No defensive or self-healing abilities. ✖ Chaos Control requires Scarlet Witch to be close to enemies. ✖ Easily countered if Mystic Projection is on cooldown. ✖ Reality Erasure can be interrupted before release.

Strategy Guide

• Use Mystic Projection wisely to escape or reposition before fights.

• Pair Dark Seal with allies’ crowd control abilities to maximize stun duration.

• Position yourself safely while using Chaos Control since it auto-locks but requires mid-range proximity.

• Use Reality Erasure when enemies are grouped together for maximum impact.

• Stay aware of enemy cooldowns to prevent being interrupted during your Ultimate.

Final Thoughts

Scarlet Witch is a powerful Duelist who thrives in team fights and mid-range engagements. Her high burst damage, auto-targeting beam, and game-changing Ultimate make her a strong pick for players who enjoy magic-based damage dealers with strong area control.
