The new Ultron Battle Matrix mode in Marvel Rivals has brought a lot of excitement, but also confusion. Many players are unsure about the best strategy or team composition to use. After climbing to rank 48 and nearly breaking into the top 500 before taking a break, I’ve discovered what works and how you can consistently win and hit those 2,000 points to unlock the new emoji.
Understanding the Winning Team Composition
If you look at the top players in Ultron Battle Matrix, most are running a very specific setup: 1 tank, 1 DPS, and 4 supports. This 1-1-4 setup is the key to success. I’ve been using this composition myself with strong results.
The core of the team revolves around Jeff and Venom, who have a powerful team-up synergy. The rest of the support heroes can be flexible—Luna, Rocket, and Mantis all work well. For DPS, characters like Bak are solid choices, but it’s not as crucial as locking in Jeff and Venom.
How to Build Your Team and Play
- Early Rounds: Don’t Spend Gold
Start the first few rounds by saving your gold instead of spending it. The economy in this mode is crucial. The goal is to reach above 50 gold quickly, so you earn the max interest of 5 gold per round. Losing a few rounds early is okay—it won’t hurt you much and helps build a strong economy for the mid and late game. - Positioning Matters
Place Jeff in the middle to maximize his team-up with Venom. Surround them with your support heroes to keep healing and shields flowing. - Focus on Upgrades that Boost Healing and Survivability
Ultron Battle Matrix is about outlasting your opponents. Healing reduction on enemies and extra healing on your team are game-changers. Look for purple upgrades that stack across your different hero roles. These small advantages add up over time. - Swap Out Underperforming Supports
Not all supports are created equal. Mantis, for example, isn’t very strong in healing or damage. Try to reroll for better supports like Adam or Loki who provide better utility and survivability. - Pay Attention to Opponents’ Lineups and Upgrades
You can check other players’ team upgrades and strategists. Adjust your team accordingly—if you see invisibility or magic-heavy comps, consider switching your strategist or hero choices to counter them.
Playing the Long Game
This mode rewards patience. Early losses aren’t the end—they’re part of the plan to build a stronger team later. Once you’ve hit that 50 gold mark, start investing in purple upgrades and leveling up your heroes’ abilities. The 1 tank, 1 DPS, and 4 supports setup means you’ll have plenty of healing and damage output to outlast DPS-heavy teams with low sustain.
- Avoid using Rocket if you can—his beacon is fragile and can be taken out easily.
- Prioritize ultimate efficiency upgrades and healing boosts.
- Lock in purple upgrades that improve your team’s overall survivability and damage.
- Use your abilities strategically to save key heroes and maximize damage bursts.
With this approach, you’ll have a solid chance to climb the ranks and win consistently in the Ultron Battle Matrix mode. If you want, I can help turn this into a detailed step-by-step guide or add tips for specific heroes. Just let me know!
