This mode is unique because you can win with teams that usually might not work well together, like a full roster of six Vanguards or six Duelists. All heroes have access to some abilities they don’t have outside of this mode, so although some of these teams wouldn’t work well outside of the event, they excel in this special, modified version of the game.

I’ve had success with all of the teams listed here, but the one I ended up going 25-3 with and winning the entire round was Groot, Peni Parker, Captain America, Bruce Banner/Hulk, Namor, and Rocket Raccoon. I positioned them in a sort of “T” formation with Rocket Raccoon and Namor protected by Vanguards around them. I moved my team around the board here and there, but kept the same formation throughout and dominated almost every match.

In other matches where I tried to use this same lineup but lost, I generally ended up swapping out Captain America for Venom and Groot for Loki. Venom and Loki are overall some of the best characters you can have on your team in this event, so adding them to your lineup is a great way to boost your odds of success.

Best characters for Ultron’s Battle Matrix Protocol event in Marvel Rivals

You can mostly craft a strong team with any roster you like, but there are certainly some heroes who really shine in this mode. Here are the overall best characters you can use in Ultron’s Battle Matrix Protocol.

  • Namor – Namor’s Monstro Spawn can shoot across the entire map in this mode, so he’s one of the strongest Duelists you can use. He’s especially effective if you also put Bruce Banner/Hulk on your team for the Gamma Charge Team-Up and keep Namor positioned in the backline. It’s also a good idea to grab his Monstro Spawns Army Strengthen Module if it comes up to make him even more effective.
  • Groot – His walls are quite OP in this mode, especially if you keep him near the frontline and have your Duelists and Strategists positioned further back for protection.
  • Loki – In every single team I’ve made with him, Loki has been the last one standing in the matches I’ve lost. He’s got super impressive survivability and healing output in this mode. His clones are also quite useful, and he seems to be very efficient at staying alive, dealing damage, and supporting the entire team. He always uses his healing circle right at the start of the round, so be sure to position him close to Vanguards for maximum efficiency. It’s also crucial you make sure you have a second Strategist who has a strong healing ultimate he can copy, like Invisible Woman or Luna Snow.

  • Rocket Raccoon – With him on your team, you can revive, which is a huge bonus to have on your side. His healing also goes across the entire battlefield nicely.
  • Venom – He’s a really strong tank in this mode, but to make the most of him, you need to get the King in Black Strengthen Module. With it, some damage he deals with his ultimate is converted to health, and he also grows larger. It’s a really fun and effective power.
  • Invisible Woman – In this mode, her already potent ultimate is more powerful than ever. She’s got excellent healing, nice survivability, and solid damage output.
  • Wolverine – No one can shred Vanguards like he can, so if you’re facing a team that has some dominant ones, add a Wolverine to your line-up to easily get rid of them. He also always targets the enemy with the lowest health, which makes him highly effective at eliminating foes.

Team building tips for Ultron’s Battle Matrix Protocol in Marvel Rivals

If you want to make and play with your own custom team, there are some general tips you should keep in mind to ensure you have a strong lineup. Here are some team-building tips for Ultron’s Battle Matrix Protocol.

  • Pay attention to how each member of your team dies. If you know why you’re losing, you can focus on acquiring Modules or otherwise implementing changes to correct it. For example, if your Vanguards are consistently dying early on, you may need to switch out or build your Strategists better, or try out some different Vanguards.
  • Change your team as needed. Between each match, you can spend Tokens to swap out any member of your team. If you’re getting countered, switch your line-up around until you find one that works.

  • Choose your Strengthen Modules carefully based on what you need most. If you’re not getting enough healing, choose a Strategist one. If you’re not getting enough damage, buff up one of your Duelists. If you’re struggling to push and protect, buff your Vanguards.
  • Play around with different comps. The fun part about this mode is that there’s no wrong line-up, so feel free to experiment and try out different teams until you find one that fits what you’re looking for.
