Ultron’s Ult Needs To Break the Strategist Curse

“Don’t compare me to Stark.” Those infamous words were followed by Ultron quite literally slicing off someone’s arm in Avengers: Age of Ultron. He doesn’t like being compared, and honestly, who can blame him? If there’s one thing he despises more than humanity, it’s being treated like a knockoff.

So when he arrives in Marvel Rivals during the mid-season update as a Strategist, it’s only fitting that he avoids becoming just another healing bot with a shiny ultimate. Because let’s face it: in a game with a wide variety of heroes, the Strategist role has one thing in dangerously short supply: variety in ultimate.

With the rogue AI on the way, it’s time to chop off that tired formula, just like he did that guy’s arm.

Ultron needs to shake things up in Marvel Rivals‘ strategist class

Ultron’s arrival follows the high-heeled footsteps of Emma Frost, whose debut as a Vanguard at the start of Season 2 completely shifted how people approached that role. She was bold, stylish, powerful, and even the meta bent around her (just like players).

He won’t bring the hot legs or diamond skin, but he can bring something just as impactful: a unique and game-changing ultimate. Strategists in Marvel Rivals are supposed to be a blend of brains and clutch plays. You know, the silent heroes.

Instead, they’ve all been relegated to being walking hospitals. Mantis, Rocket, Sue, Luna, they all essentially hit a button, and here comes your heals and invincibility. There’s no real variation. The animations change, sure. The impact? Not so much.

The community knows it too. Strategist mains have been vocal, frustrated that their ultimate lack identity. It feels like every new Strategist is just a remix of the last. Ultron, with his rumored drone-based kit and possible synergy with Iron Man, has the perfect opportunity to end this loop finally.

If any character deserves to bring uniqueness to the Strategist slot, it’s a rogue AI who literally evolved to break free from conformity. So, Ultron? It’s time to break the Strategist curse.

No more copy-paste healing zones. No more glowy green lifebars. Show us an ult that’s deadly, disruptive, and just a little bit terrifying.

NetEase needs Ultron’s Ultimate to jumpstart a stalled engine

Let’s be real: Marvel Rivals has been in a wobbly state lately. From player count concerns to strategist mains threatening to go on strike (yes, that’s been a thing), the game is teetering between a bright future and burnout.

NetEase has promised changes in Season 3, like shorter seasons and more frequent hero releases, but that’s all down the road. What they need right now is a win, and that win could come from making Ultron’s ultimate actually innovative.

Not just another mega-heal that turns the whole team immortal for six seconds. Instead, something unique and different that makes people think, “Whoa, maybe I’ll give Strategist a try.”

A unique ultimate could inject life into the Strategist role and ripple through the game unexpectedly. It could bring back disillusioned mains, attract players from other roles, and prove that NetEase is listening. It’s not just about making one hero cool, it’s about sending a message: we’re evolving.

Because in a live-service game, evolution is everything. If you don’t evolve with the players, you get left behind. And with the speed at which players’ minds change, it is hard to catch up.

So, enough with the samey-samey ultimate abilities. It’s time to show with Ultron why he was built to evolve past his creator, and in the game, he should do the same with his Strategist role. Let him hack the battlefield. Let him break the mold, and the curse, of cookie-cutter healer ults.
