TL;DR
- Marvel Rivals Season 10 gives Scarlet Witch a major gameplay rework built around the new Chaos Mark mechanic.
- New ability Scarlet Hex deals 40 damage in a 20m-long, 8m-wide area and applies Chaos Mark.
- Damaging marked enemies converts 25% of Scarlet Witch's damage into Bonus Health, capped at 50.
- Chthonian Burst attacks faster, Dark Seal changes from repeated stuns to a single detonation stun plus damage and slow, and Reality Erasure gains damage during its wind-up.
What Changed
Season 10 reworks Scarlet Witch around Chaos Mark. The official September 11 balance update adds a new active ability, a new passive effect, and changes Chaos Control, Chthonian Burst, Dark Seal, Mystic Projection, Reality Erasure, and her Jubilee Team-Up interaction.
Patch Impact
The rework shifts part of Scarlet Witch's survivability and damage loop toward marking targets first. Chaos Mark becomes the link between Scarlet Hex, Dark Seal, Chaos Control, and her new Bonus Health passive, while several existing abilities receive direct numerical changes.
Who Is Affected
The changes directly affect Scarlet Witch players and opponents fighting inside her Chaos Mark and Dark Seal zones. They also affect players using the Jubilee Team-Up because the Mystic Projection healing value changes when that Team-Up is selected.
Scarlet Hex and Chaos Mark
- Scarlet Hex: a new ability that sends a magic shockwave through a 20m-long, 8m-wide rectangular area.
- Enemies hit take 40 damage and receive a Chaos Mark.
- Scarlet Witch's new passive converts 25% of damage dealt to Chaos Marked enemies into Bonus Health.
- The Bonus Health from this passive is capped at 50.
Chaos Control Changes
- Damage is reduced from 85 per second to 75 per second.
- Chaos Control now deals the same damage to all Chaos Marked enemies within a 20m, 120-degree cone in front of Scarlet Witch.
Chthonian Burst Changes
- Cast interval is reduced from 0.5 seconds to 0.4 seconds.
- The official balance post states this increases DPS against enemies from 160 to 200.
Dark Seal Changes
- Dark Seal no longer periodically stuns enemies throughout its duration.
- The stun now occurs on the initial detonation and lasts 0.3 seconds.
- The active field continuously deals 20 damage per second.
- Enemies inside receive a 30% slow.
- The field continuously applies Chaos Mark to enemies within it.
Mystic Projection and Reality Erasure
- Mystic Projection movement-speed boost is reduced from 50% to 35%.
- Reality Erasure now continuously damages enemies within a 15m radius during its wind-up.
- That wind-up damage scales from 50 to 80 over 4 seconds.
- The official balance post also states that Scarlet Witch has a small chance to be immune to incoming damage during the wind-up.
- With the Jubilee Team-Up selected, Mystic Projection healing is reduced from 42 per second to 30 per second.
What Players Should Do
- Use Scarlet Hex or Dark Seal to establish Chaos Mark before relying on the new Bonus Health passive.
- Recheck Chaos Control positioning because its marked-target damage now uses a 20m, 120-degree frontal cone.
- Account for Dark Seal's shorter crowd-control window; the reworked field emphasizes ongoing damage, slow, and mark application rather than repeated stuns.
- Re-evaluate Mystic Projection movement and Jubilee Team-Up healing because both values are lower in Season 10.
Compared With Previous Patch
Before Season 10, Scarlet Witch did not have Scarlet Hex, Chaos Mark, or the new Bonus Health passive described in the September 11 balance update. Dark Seal used its previous periodic-stun behavior, Chthonian Burst had the slower 0.5-second cast interval, and Reality Erasure did not have the new wind-up damage described in this rework.
Player Impact
- Survivability: Chaos Mark creates a new way to generate up to 50 Bonus Health through damage.
- Burst output: Chthonian Burst reaches the officially stated 200 DPS after its faster cast interval.
- Control: Dark Seal trades repeated stuns for one short stun plus sustained damage, slow, and Chaos Mark application.
- Ultimate pressure: Reality Erasure begins dealing area damage during its 4-second wind-up.
