Ultron Joins Marvel Rivals — Abilities Revealed
The midseason update for Marvel Rivals Season 2.5 is almost here, and it brings a surprising new addition to the roster — Ultron. NetEase Games has confirmed the villain’s arrival, and players are already buzzing about his unexpected role.
Ultron: The First Flying Strategist in Marvel Rivals
Ultron isn’t joining as a damage-dealing Duelist or a frontline Vanguard. Instead, he becomes a Strategist — Marvel Rivals’ support class — and more importantly, the first Strategist who can fly. His kit offers a unique mix of team healing, bonus health, mobility, and sustained beam damage, making him a versatile pick for team compositions.
Before his release on May 30, here’s a full breakdown of his abilities:
Ultron Ability Kit
| Ability Name | Type / Input | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Encephalo-Ray | Primary Fire / Left Mouse Button | “Unleash a burning energy beam.” |
| Imperative: Patch | Ability 1 / E | “Command a giant drone to follow an ally, constantly healing allies in its radius with additional healing for the designated ally.” |
| Imperative: Firewall | Ability 2 / Right Mouse Button | “Summon drones to grant bonus Health to allies within range, centered on himself [Ultron] and the ally marked with the Imperative Patch.” |
| Dynamic Flight | Mobility / Shift | Dash and then enter free-flight mode for aerial movement. |
| Algorithm Correction | Passive / Hold Space | Allows Ultron to fall slowly while flying. |
| Rage of Ultron | Ultimate / Q | “Summon Ultron Drones to fire Encephalo-Rays, damaging enemies and healing allies.” |
Bonus: Stark Protocol Team-Up with Iron Man
Ultron has a Team-Up ability with Iron Man called Stark Protocol, allowing him to unleash a piercing Unibeam. This beam damages enemies while healing allies, giving Ultron even more utility as a support hero.
Wrap-Up Events Before the Update
Ahead of the May 30 update, players still have time to complete:
- Hellfire Gala Moments: Finish all three acts to earn a Patch costume for Wolverine.
- Galacta’s Gift Event: Complete tasks to earn a Costume Coin that can be exchanged for a free skin.
Ultron’s arrival signals another evolution in Marvel Rivals’ hero design — one that blends mobility, healing, and aggression in a single, flying Strategist. With more updates coming soon, the game’s momentum is only getting stronger.
