How Can Blade Survive Scarlet Witch’s Ult in Marvel Rivals ⇒ MarvelRivalsHub

How can Blade survive Scarlet Witch’s ultimate in Marvel Rivals which now deals a jaw dropping 9,999 damage, making it one of the most devastating attacks in the game. Dubbed “Reality Erasure,” it’s designed to wipe out anything in its blast radius. But the question remains is there any hero who can actually survive it?

In a recent gameplay challenge, a team of creators put this to the test using Blade, a character known for his powerful block ability. The result was surprising: Blade can survive Scarlet Witch’s ult, but it requires a near perfect setup with exceptional timing and team coordination.

Understanding Scarlet Witch’s ultimate damage

After the latest update, Scarlet Witch’s ultimate does a flat 9,999 damage. Her ability charges briefly then pulls enemies inward before detonating. Without invincibility, barriers or significant resistances, most heroes are instantly knocked out. Blade’s block ability provides 80% damage resistance an incredible number but it’s not enough on its own.

Here’s the math: 20% of 10,000 is 2,000 damage. That means Blade still needs to absorb or survive 2,000 damage even after blocking. In earlier metas, that wasn’t a problem. Now, it’s a big ask.

The team strategy to survive the ult

To meet the challenge, a team of five characters worked together to stack enough health, shields and damage reduction on Blade. The heroes included:

Mantis: Her ultimate gives bonus health
Rocket: Deploys armor packs for shielding
Penny: Adds to Rocket’s shielding abilities
Ultron: Provides additional bonus health through his firewall ability
Thing: Applies damage reduction to allies

By combining these abilities and timing everything precisely before Scarlet Witch’s ultimate hit, the team was able to stack Blade’s health and shields up to 1,999 just enough to survive the ult’s remaining damage after his block cut it down from 10,000.

One of the key takeaways was that Penny and Rocket’s armor packs stack, making them ideal support characters for shielding. Mantis and Ultron handled bonus health, while Thing gave critical damage reduction right as the ult landed. Timing, again, was everything.

How likely is it to survive in real matches?

Let’s be clear: pulling this off in a real game is extremely difficult. You need full team coordination, multiple ults ready to go, proper placement and split second reaction time. But the experiment shows it is possible which is a wild contrast to what most players would expect when they see Scarlet Witch charging up her Reality Erasure.

Blade’s block by itself is impressive but not enough against the current 9,999 damage. Without additional shields or health, even Blade crumbles. However, with this highly optimized setup, players demonstrated the power of game mechanics and teamwork in Marvel Rivals.

So next time you see a Scarlet Witch about to unleash chaos, remember: all it takes is perfect synergy and a stack of shields to live to fight another day.
