Magneto is extremely difficult to kill, and he is one of the best in terms of protecting his teammates. Yes, he has a low base HP, but considering the amount of tools he has, this shouldn't be a problem. Additionally, even if he's the only tank on the team, you'll be fine because he has a shield that can block any attack.
Moreover, his Ultimate is very powerful, and it's perfect for controlling large areas. It's also almost impossible to deal with, so you won't have to worry about the enemy team deactivating it because it blocks all projectiles. The only significant disadvantage that Magneto has is his speed. If you can overlook the fact that he's slow, don't hesitate to give him a try.
Marvel Rivals Magneto Abilities
There are three types of skills in Marvel Rivals: regular attacks, abilities, and passives. Every Hero has their own advantages and disadvantages, especially when it comes to their abilities. That's why we always encourage players to experiment with all of them and combine them in different ways so they can see what works for them and what doesn't.
Now it's time to take a look at all of Magneto's abilities and how they work so you can take full advantage of them.
