Magik is a Duelist\u00a0in\u00a0Marvel Rivals.\u00a0Her focus is inflicting high amounts of damage upon the enemy, and she's a close-range fighter who thrives when up close and personal with the opposition. If you want to master the Queen of Limbo, we've\u00a0got you covered with\u00a0everything you need to know on how to play Magik. All Magik abilities in Marvel Rivals, explained Ability Description PC Control ControllerSoulsword Slash forward with the Soulsword. LMB RT\/R2 Stepping Discs Jump through a Stepping Disc, teleporting a short distance in the direction of movement. LSHIFT LB\/L1 Umbral Incursion Dash forward and launch an enemy upward. E RB\/R1 Eldritch Witch Spin forward while swinging the Soulsword after exiting a Stepping Disc. LMB RT\/R2 Magik Slash Strike forward an air slash. RMB LT\/L2 Demon's Rage Summon a Limbo demon that attacks enemies after exiting a Stepping Disc. RMB LT\/L2 Limbo's Might Convert damage inflicted on enemies into Bonus Health to herself. Passive Passive Darkchild Transform into Darkchild, gaining enhancements to all her abilities. Q LS+TS Click Disc Master (Team-Up) Magik opens a portal. Black Panther can use the portal. C Y\/Triangle Magik strategy and tips in Marvel Rivals Though Magik may lack the ranged damage output from range that the\u00a0best Duelists in\u00a0Marvel Rivals\u00a0boast, the ability to switch things up in your team and to attack from close range can be valuable\u2014especially when paired with the right team composition and catching enemies off guard for some quick kills that will leave them reeling in their spawn room. The\u00a0key\u00a0ability with Magik is\u00a0Stepping Discs,\u00a0which you should use as both a combat entry and exit. After using Stepping Discs, you can cast either\u00a0Eldritch Witch\u00a0or\u00a0Demon's Rage\u00a0once, both of which have their uses when it comes to hacking away at the enemy team's active lineup and health pools. Eldritch Witch is the go-to combo ability after casting Stepping Discs and can\u00a0be followed\u00a0by\u00a0Umbral Incursion\u00a0to launch enemies into the air. Demon's Rage is\u00a0great\u00a0at providing chip damage if your focus is being a nuisance rather than going for kills. Magik's passive ability,\u00a0Limbo's Might,\u00a0provides a health boost when damage\u00a0is inflicted\u00a0upon enemies, so it's always beneficial to keep chipping away as much as possible, which is where\u00a0Magik Slash\u00a0can come in handy from range. Finally, when you use her Ultimate ability,\u00a0Darkchild, stick with the same combo strategy to inflict significant punishment on enemies. I'd advise saving this\u00a0for\u00a0when your team needs to push the objective, as it will either wreak havoc on the field or force the enemy into hiding, so it's great to lead off an attack with. Magik is\u00a0particularly useful\u00a0when paired with a character like\u00a0Peni Parker who can pin enemies in place.\u00a0Alternatively, pairing her with a Duelist like The Punisher can result in\u00a0a duo that is extremely difficult\u00a0to stop thanks to the one-two combo of ranged and melee assaults that is hard to focus on. I've found most of my success with Magik to be when using her for surprise attacks, catching Strategists off guard as they attempt to focus on healing their squad. By the time they realize Magik is even attacking them, it's usually too late. Now that you know how to wield the Soulsword like you were born and raised in Limbo itself, head back out there and dominate the field in Marvel Rivals and climb the ranks.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Marvel-Rivals-Magik-1.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1229633"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2203"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1229633"}],"version-history":[{"count":8,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1229633\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1475392,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1229633\/revisions\/1475392"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1228358"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1229633"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1229633"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1229633"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=1229633"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=1229633"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=1229633"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1229633"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
