Alright, Agents and Aspiring AI Overlords! Ever wondered what happens when your favorite playable characters from the iconic Marvel worlds get turned into strategic chess pieces controlled by Ultron’s big brain? Welcome to Ultron’s Battle Matrix Protocol<\/a> \u2013 quite the mouthful, right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This mode is active from June 6th to June 23rd, 2025, offering exclusive rewards! While Marvel Rivals<\/a> is known for its fast paced gameplay as a team based pvp shooter this mode takes the strategic chaos of games like Teamfight Tactics or Dota Underlords and injects it with pure Marvel energy (and maybe a bit more Jeff the Land Shark<\/a> than you’d expect!), bringing unexpected fun within this continually evolving marvel universe! Participate during the event period to earn the Ultron-1 spray<\/a> (play 3 matches), the \u201cAcceptable\u201d emoji<\/a> (play 10 matches), and the \u201cThink, Human!\u201d emoji (score 2000 total points). To earn the \u201cThink, Human!\u201d emoji, you need to reach a cumulative score of 2000 points; you start at 1000 points and gain more based on your placement in each match (with points only ever increasing toward the goal), meaning you need to earn a total of 1000 additional points across all your games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This isn’t your average brawl; it’s a strategic showdown where thinking smarter, not just harder, is key. If you’re scratching your head at the “auto chess” vibe, think of it as building the ultimate team of super heroes, potentially including powerful super villains, and watching them go to work, while you play puppet master with resources and positioning. Games like Teamfight Tactics or Hearthstone Battlegrounds set the stage for this kind of strategic fun, but Battle Matrix Protocol brings its own unique Marvel spin! There’s rarely a dull moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Phase 1: Thriving in Ever-Changing Game Dynamics<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

To kick things off, you need a team! At the start of a match, you’ll draft six playable characters from a selection presented to you from the varied Marvel roster, featuring many fan-favorite heroes and villains. Don’t panic if half the roster seems to have vanished! This is totally on purpose. Each game presents a random, cut-down selection of heroes to pick from, specifically a pool of 18 characters (not the whole roster). This includes roughly half of the total hero roster, split across Vanguards, Duelists, and Strategists. This design helps prevent players from always assembling the same perfect team-ups or compositions right from the get-go, adding a layer of adaptability as the meta develops and demanding you adapt your countless strategies and discover new tactics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your mission? Pick six of them to form your starting team! There’s no limit on who you can pick from the available pool, but once you lock in your six, that’s your starting lineup. Worry not if your absolute faves or dream team components are missing from the initial lineup \u2013 the game lets you swap characters out later for a cost, so flexibility is key! The “Change Hero” option lets you spend 5 Units for random choices (Vanguard\/Strategist pools have 3 options, Duelist has 6).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You have full flexibility on your team composition \u2013 maybe you want a bunch of tough Vanguards, sneaky Duelists, or supportive Strategists. You could aim for three Strategists, two Duelists, and one Vanguard, stack five Vanguards and one Strategist, or even go full send with six Duelists! Experimentation is encouraged here; it’s been observed that setups that would be unthinkable in the main game (like a team of all Strategists!) can actually be quite powerful with the right upgrades. Your dazzling skins show up here too! Explore various gameplay strategies and countless ways to build your squad with the varied Marvel roster to choose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

From this initial pick screen, it’s smart to start thinking about your team’s identity. Are you leaning into Vanguards (the sturdy front-liners), Duelists (the damage dealers), Strategists (the healers and support), or perhaps aiming for a mix to activate the Unique Role bonuses? This initial thought is helpful, though you can definitely adjust as the game progresses. Common starting points often involve a balanced 2 Vanguard, 2 Duelist, 2 Strategist squad, or perhaps a more aggressive 3 Vanguard, 1 Duelist, 2 Strategist setup. These provide a solid base you can tweak depending on the modules found and the opponents faced, unlocking potent team-up abilities by combining powers. Watch out for unique team-up skills and surprising team-up skills that can form a dangerous duo or formidable trio, and combine powers to form unique and powerful effects that can lead to massive damage! These strategies, by combining powers, are key to gaining a strategic advantage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hero Targeting Logic: Who Attacks Who? Mastering Super Hero Team-Based Combat<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"An
<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Before hitting the battlefield, understanding how heroes decide who to attack is vital! Each hero in Battle Matrix has a built-in targeting behavior that dictates who they’ll automatically attack with their primary attack at the start of a round and throughout the fight. Knowing these tendencies is crucial for effective positioning and building a cohesive team, utilizing their incredible abilities strategically, and helping them to effectively dodge attacks via positioning or inherent stats. This provides a significant strategic advantage. Luckily, they’re split into just three main groups:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Targeting Priority<\/td>\nHeroes<\/td>\nDescription<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Highest Health<\/td>\nWolverine<\/td>\nPrioritizes the enemy with the most current HP.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Lowest Health<\/td>\nVenom, Captain America, Black Panther, Magic, Spider-Man, Psylock, Black Widow, Scarlet Witch<\/td>\nPrioritizes the enemy with the lowest current HP.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Closest Enemy<\/td>\nHulk, Dr. Strange, Groot, Magneto, Thor, Penny Parker, The Thing, Emma Frost, Punisher, Storm, Human Torch, Hawkeye, Hela, Moon Knight, Squirrel Girl, Iron Man, Mr. Fantastic, Winter Soldier, Star-Lord, Namor, Iron Fist, Loki, Mantis, Rocket Raccoon, Cloak & Dagger, Luna Snow, Adam Warlock, Jeff the Land Shark, Invisible Woman, Ultron<\/td>\nPrioritizes the enemy unit physically closest to them at the start of combat.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n

Understanding these priorities helps you anticipate combat flow and informs your positioning as you devise countless strategies and new tactics!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Core Gameplay Loop: Phases of Battle Climb the Ranks with Your Star Marvel Squad<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Experience
<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Once your initial team is set, you enter the repeated game loop, which consists of rounds, each broken down into three key phases:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Draw Phase (The Upgrade Shop!)<\/strong>: Your chance to buy upgrades. This phase is often indicated by a book-like symbol.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Deployment Phase<\/strong>: Where you position your heroes. This phase is often indicated by a people-like symbol.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Battle Phase<\/strong>: Where the teams fight automatically. This phase is often indicated by crossing swords.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    There are also rounds specifically against bots, indicated by a robot head symbol, and rounds where you pick Strengthen modules, indicated by a lightning bolt. You start every game fighting a Galactabot!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Let’s dive into the Upgrade Phase, as it’s arguably the most strategic and complex part, offering infinite possibilities and countless ways to power up your squad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Phase 2: Modules Galore! The Upgrade Phase: Tokens, Modules, and Power Spikes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \"Forming
    <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    Every round gives you an Upgrade Phase where you spend Tokens (your in-game currency, also called Units or Points) to buy various Modules that boost your heroes, granting them incredible abilities or allowing them to unleash gamma energy with greater effect, for example. How do you earn Tokens? Glad you asked!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Base Income<\/strong>: You automatically receive a base amount of 15 Tokens<\/strong> each round.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Winning Rounds<\/strong>: Winning a Battle Phase grants extra bonus Tokens (often starting at +2), based on your win streak, up to a max of 5 extra Tokens per round on a consistent winning streak (after 5 consecutive wins).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Win\/Loss Streaks<\/strong>: Going on consecutive winning or losing streaks also pads your wallet \u2013 you gain extra Tokens per streak win\/loss, increasing by 1 for each win\/loss in the streak, up to a maximum of +4 bonus Tokens per round<\/strong> (some sources suggest up to +5, but +4 is commonly cited). Yes, the game throws you a bone if you’re losing to help you get back in the fight! Sometimes, strategically losing early can build your economy for later! These are all part of the various gameplay strategies you can employ to get a strategic advantage and ultimately claim victory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Interest<\/strong>: This is like a savings account! For every 10 Tokens you have saved going into a round, you earn 1 extra Token the next round, up to a maximum of 5 extra Units (achieved by saving 50 Tokens). Saving up can provide a significant economic advantage over time! Saving past 50 Units doesn’t grant extra interest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Selling Income<\/strong>: The UI shows what currency you’ll receive next round if you sell modules (you get less back than you paid!).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    You use these Tokens primarily to purchase Modules displayed in the shop grid (“Select” screen), or to refresh the shop for a small cost (often 1 Unit) to see a new selection of four Modules. Tokens are also used between phases to purchase new heroes to swap into your team (“Change Hero” screen, often costing 5 Units, options are random, no refunds if you don’t pick one!). Learning what Modules to buy, and more importantly, when to spend or save your Tokens, is a huge part of success in this mode and contributes to the countless strategies at your disposal!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Modules come in a vast array of effects, from basic stat boosts to wild, build-enabling chaos! They are categorized into different types: Base Modules and Strengthen Modules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
