Guides

Dec 12

Magik struggles against sustained damage and heroes who can interrupt her setups. Here’s what heroes to play and how to counter Magik:

Dr. Strange: Eye of Agamotto (Q) separates Magik’s soul from her body, dealing damage directly to her soul and bypassing her mobility. Shield of the Seraphim (Right Click) blocks Magik’s projectiles, reducing her ranged damage output.
Peni Parker: Cyber-Web Snare (Right Click) immobilizes Magik, disrupting her teleportation and movement. Spider-Sweeper (Q) punishes Magik for staying near her allies with consistent area damage.

Hawkeye: Scourge Grenade (Right Click) blinds Magik, reducing her accuracy and making it harder for her to execute her combos. Hunter’s Sight (Q) provides consistent ranged damage, keeping pressure on Magik from a safe distance.
Punisher: Culling Turret (E) creates a zone of denial, forcing Magik to reposition or take heavy damage. Scourge Grenade (Right Click) disrupts Magik’s setups, reducing her effectiveness in fights.
Winter Soldier: Kraken Impact (Q) deals high burst damage, punishing Magik for overextending. Tainted Voltage (E) slows Magik, limiting her mobility and ability to teleport.

Adam Warlock: Soul Bond (LShift) spreads damage among allies, countering Magik’s focus on single-target disruption. Karmic Revival (Q) revives fallen teammates, neutralizing Magik’s impact on key targets.
Loki: Doppelganger (E) creates illusions to confuse Magik, wasting her attacks and abilities. Devious Exchange (F) allows Loki to avoid Magik’s crowd control and reposition safely.
Luna Snow: Absolute Zero (Right Click) freezes Magik, stopping her abilities and preventing her from teleporting. Fate of Both Worlds (Q) provides healing over time, keeping Luna’s team alive while countering Magik’s damage.

Stepping Discs (LShift): Magik teleports to a new location, allowing her to evade damage or reposition. Use stuns or slows to limit her movement.
Umbral Incursion (E): Launches enemies airborne, interrupting their abilities. Stay spread out to avoid being caught in her crowd control.
Soul Harvest (Passive): Magik heals when damaging enemies with marked abilities. Burst her down quickly to outpace her healing.

Interrupt Her Combos: Use stuns, slows, or knockbacks to stop Magik from chaining her abilities.
Focus Her Quickly: Magik’s disruption can turn fights in her favor. Eliminate her early to reduce her team’s control.
Spread Out: Avoid grouping up to minimize the impact of her area crowd control abilities.
