Quick Links
Scarlet Witch is an S-tier Striker inMarvel Mystic Mayhem, capable of putting out both excellent single target and AoE damage. She’s a three-star character, which means you’ll need to pull her from the banner rolls, but if you’re lucky enough to grab her early, she’ll help you complete a lot of the beginner content in the game with ease.
She does have fairly low HP and defense, which means she works best with tanky Defender units - we particularly like matching her with Armor, as Armor’s taunt will soak up a lot of hits and let Scarlet Witch do her thing.
