The prominent Marvel Rivals leaker RivalsLeaks posted a picture on Twitter of Ultron’s ability kit, revealing that the villain will likely be a Strategist within the game. While RivalsLeaks previously claimed Ultron would be coming to Marvel Rivals, they didn’t have many details to share at the time. The current image shows that Ultron’s primary attack is a laser beam, while the character’s ultimate attack will summon drones that both damage enemies and heal allies. If true, it seems Ultron will also have a flight mechanic similar to Iron Man’s with the ability to slowly descend like Rocket Raccoon. It seems like the villain may also have an ability that allows a large drone to follow a designated ally, primarily healing the target while distributing smaller heals to additional allies in the area.
