We all think that strategy is the approach inMarvel Rivals, but let’s be honest: there’s nothing better than relying on sheer brute force damage. Thankfully, the hero-shooter is filled with powerful heroes and villains who can deal with incredible damage.
When we talk about DPS characters inMarvel Rivals, some deal lethal damage per second, and some have excellent abilities. However, there’s one DPS hero in particular that evenMarvel Rivals‘ director knows is the bane of every character’s life, especially healers!
Magik is a force to be reckoned with inMarvel Rivals
SinceMarvel Rivals‘ initial reveal, it’s been compared to Blizzard’sOverwatch 2. While chatting withPCGamesN, game director Thaddeus Sasser opened up about the title’s development and explained how developer NetEase Games is planning to separate its hero-shooter from the competition.

According to Sasser, there are three key areas that NetEase focuses on: superheroes, destructions, and team-ups.The developer wants to evolve the hero shooter‘s story over time, just likeOverwatch. When it came to how the meta would look onceMarvel Rivalsreleases, Sasser said to keep an eye out for Magik.
She’s got such great mobility and she can dash in and juggle the enemy with upwards airheads, and pull off some fun moves.
As we’ve said before,Marvel Rivalshas tons of DPS heroes to choose from. However, there’s nothing closeto the sheer insanity Magik brings to the table. Commanding forces from a demonic dimension, the Queen of Limbo can dash through the battlefield, cross portals, and wreak havoc upon enemies.
Magik has one of the best mobility kits in the game. Since she has teleportation abilities, she can quickly reposition herself and escape dangerous situations. She can even engage enemies with surprise attacks, which makes her a lethal flanker who can basically take down all support characters in a matter of seconds.
Marvel Rivalsdoesn’t need to abandon its best feature
It’s clear thatMarvel Rivalshas one-uppedOverwatchin basically everything that the Blizzard title was lacking. One of the improved features we see inRivalsis the quit penalty.
AlthoughOverwatchhas always givenpenalties for ranked play, NetEase takes this one step further and punishes gamers for disconnecting too frequently, even in Quick Play matches.

Many in the community find the nature of the quit penalty quite harsh and want NetEase to rework it completely. However, it’s one of the reasons whyMarvel Rivalsis triumphing over its competitors without any sweat.
Enforcing penalties in ranked modes is logical, and while it seems strange in casual matches, it’s quite crucial. The pickup-and-play aspect of Quick Play encourages players to come and go as they please.

However,asRivalsis a game focused on teamwork,that strategy can never work. Players leave whenever they want to impact the overall flow of the game, whether it’s in ranked or casual play.
In titles such asOverwatchandRivals, abandoners can make things miserable for everyone. So, NetEase has done an incredible job of discouraging and punishing that behavior wherever possible.
With that said, do you think Magik is one of the best DPS characters inMarvel Rivals? Let us know in the comments below.
