In Marvel Rivals’ special Marvel Zombies mode, the city has been overrun by a deadly zombie invasion. To successfully complete a match, you must defeat Zombie Scarlet Witch, also known as the Queen of the Dead.
Understanding the Fight
Zombie Scarlet Witch is an even more dangerous version of Wanda Maximoff, making this boss battle extremely challenging. To succeed, your main goal is to drain her health as quickly as possible before she casts her devastating Reality Erasure ultimate. Speed and damage output are crucial to surviving this encounter.
Stopping Reality Erasure
Scarlet Witch’s ultimate cannot be permanently blocked, but you can delay it by destroying the red crystals that appear around her. If you eliminate her during the boss fight, the ultimate will be stopped naturally. Focus on destroying the crystals whenever they spawn to prevent her from casting Reality Erasure too soon.
Keep an eye on the yellow bar labeled “Reality Erasure” under her health. If it isn’t visible, she isn’t preparing the ultimate yet.
Scarlet Witch’s Boss Abilities
Knowing her skills is key to surviving the fight:
Base Abilities (entire fight):
- Fires piercing chaos waves at nearby enemies
- Pulls in nearby opponents
- Targets one hero at a time with a sustained tracking barrage
- Launches homing projectiles that create control zones upon landing
- Enters a void state allowing free movement
Abilities at Half Health:
- Random teleportation
- Occasional shockwaves
- Spawns control zones under heroes
- Gains a powerful shield
At this point, you can break her shield to stun her and clear control zones to make the fight more manageable.
Abilities at Critical Health:
- Teleports to the center of the map to charge Reality Erasure
- Red crystals spawn around her linked to her ultimate
The ultimate ability is deadly, but destroying the red crystals delays it, giving your team a chance to defeat her.
Tips for Beating Scarlet Witch
- Keep your distance: Avoid being pulled close, as she can quickly drain your health. Distance also makes it easier to dodge attacks.
- Avoid control zones: Standing in them immobilizes you, leaving you vulnerable.
- Prioritize red crystals: Always destroy them immediately to delay her ultimate.
- Experiment with different heroes: Some characters may be more effective for dealing damage quickly. Choose heroes whose abilities you can use efficiently in this fight.
After defeating Scarlet Witch, consider completing in-game achievements such as The Defenders, Prank of Monkey King, and Blueprints Supreme for additional rewards.
