Marvel Rivals News
Ultron is Arrving on May 30
NetEase finally pulled the trigger on what might be Marvel Rivals' most anticipated character announcement yet. Ultron is officially joining the roster on May 25th. The reveal trailer dropped earlier this week and honestly, it couldn't have come at a better time. Anyone who's been grinding ranked matches lately knows the meta has gotten pretty stale. We're seeing the same dive compositions over and over, with mobile damage dealers rushing backlines while defensive players struggle to find effective counters. Ultron's kit looks like it might actually address some of these issues. He's a flying healer with a more than decent damage output that may actually prove to be a real counter to flankers.
Breaking Down Ultron's Ability Kit
The gameplay footage gives us a pretty good look at what Ultron brings to the table, even though NetEase is still holding back some specifics. His primary fire shoots concentrated energy beams that look more precise than Iron Man's repulsors but with similar range capabilities. He has an AoE (Area of Effect) ultimate ability which means he can limit enemy movement by zoning chokepoints and alleyways. In short, Ultron plays like Iron Man, but with the added bonus of healing abilities, which in my opinion makes him a better hero and a more versatile character.
