Its being processed, but it should be here within a few minutes! Uploaded a video with 3 combo's with the ability names in a graphic for people to see. I also talked about the quick melee on Magik and the versatility that she has in all of her combo structures.
It's strange that people haven't tried this, this combo is actually what they show in the suggested combo section of her character but they use quick melee instead of right click
I've been comboing M1 + melee in between abilities for good results, but this is next level. I absolutely adore Magik in this game, it really feels like each match I'm getting better with her. Thanks for the video, gonna try this myself when I get the chance
Will hopefully remember to give this a go tomorrow, given I was a doomfist player in overwatch I'm gonna give magik a chance to see if they grow on me and I enjoy playing them and techs like this prolly gonna help with that, we'll seee
A cool thing about this too is that it effectively extends the range of your spin (Eldritch Whirl) so you don't have to worry about them being within the spin radius. As long as you land the E, that extra 45 spin damage will proc on them! Haven't tested much but should also hit on any other enemies within that 6m radius of where you land your E.
Holy frick thank you. I'm a Magik main and I am learning and implementing this asap. I played around with Magik's TTK and optimal combos a lot in practice range but was not aware of this animation cancel-this changes the game.
Thanks so much for this. I tried her for like 2 seconds and did not get it, so to know that she can do stuff like this really makes me want to get into her properly! I look forward to seeing your journey ^_^
THANK YOU I saw people doing this but had no clue what they were doing. I've been a Magik main since I started playing and I was definitely struggling with lethality without this tech
Another important thing to understand is that you can do the exact same combos but spawning a minion instead of doing the spin, if your shift is enough to gapclose into melee range, then using the minion will result in more dmg more quickly and often saves you from using another CD or AA to kill them. I see a lot of Magik player forget that the minion exists and it's surprisingly strong.
The best combo I've found is actually M1, melee, right click, M1. It actually 1 shots squishies and the melee + right click from what I can tell weave perfectly between the GCD timer for M1 :)
Also you can use your secondary Melee (V) after the right click, you still get the kill in 250hp characters and leaves the E available. Its just another option to keep in mind
I never even knew she had a secondarly melee lmao. I've been missing my E a LOT on characters like Jeff. Good to know you can avoid relying on skinny ass E.
Hi friend! Just found this game and have been playing a lot of Magik, thinking about how to work the cancel into my usual rotation. This was super informative.
I imagine you already discovered this, but just in case: another animation cancel I think you should consider is quick melee cancel. Shes one of the only characters where this is actually useful, especially because in my testing she has a quick melee thats like 1 to 1.5 meters past the usual quick melee range and most melee characters have LMB that are just faster and stronger than quick melee. Abilities animation cancel quick melee so you can make your combos extra long and more damage by adding them in. LMB+quick+RMB+LMB+quick kills 250hp targets with no healing.
Pls make a play style and match up guide. Address these issues pls: capture the flag maps tend to be the worst for magick due to the open nature of the maps and LOS, the supports and tank always move as a caravan so they get healed before she can chunk, which lead to the fact the only champs who we can pick off are limited cause it’ll be a flyer (who you can never access), a sniper who will always have positional advantage (the map is huge and flanking often leads to my backline getting shredded AND the fact they are usually high ground so you use most of your cd’s just to get to them leaving zero kill pressure and no silent walk so you can never sneak), and the only other kill able targets are melee match ups but dragonfist is over turned and you lose 90% fights with him and Psylocke will burst you down before you can hit her. Magick is rewarding but on many maps feels unplayable unless you have dive comp but no one plays them yet.
the mode you mean is called control or king of the hill, capture the flag is a different mode where you steal flag from enemy base and bring it to your base. Just so you know
Nice video, though I think showing each move step by step would help to show what you’re actually doing and make it easier for some people to understand
You can do the same combo but instead of using RMB at the end you can use the melee (which is bound to V by default I believe?) This is basically a short range butt with the sword's hilt. I'm not sure how reliable this is in practice because I've not tried to use it myself but it can potentially save the cool down on your long range, to use else where. It will do 250 damage exactly, so it has less room for error. Again the short range of the hilt bash may make it less reliable to be practical, so it'd need testing properly.
Man, that's some mad damage. I've tried Magik here and there, but just couldn't get the same burst damage I was seeing from other players. I guess this is part of what I was missing, lol. Do you know if this combo still works in her ult? And do you have advice about when to use her ult? I also appreciate how straight to the point the video is, and that it has actually helpful information. There are tons of videos that are supposedly tutorials about how to play a character, but it's just them reading the abilities and then playing a match or two.
@@jacobdavis6604 Magiks ult is actually my least favorite part of her kit. Try to use it when you know you can get a few hits in to proc your passive shield gain so you don't just blow up, because once you start going, unless a big ability hits you or the enemy team giga focuses you, you most likely won't die. The combo does not work in her ult HOWEVER you can still apply the dash to get extra range with your spin for more shields, and your e will still work the same. It's just harder to do since you attack a bit slower.
during her ult she doesn't jump during e. it's better to go for eldritch whirl - e (does huge aoe damage, your dash moves the whirl hitbox so it's all guaranteed to hit), swinging your sword once, then stepping discs to get another whirl or to back up. i wouldn't use ranged attack during the combo because it's so slow for the damage you get and whirl is way too much so you want to do it again
hey, leave a direct link to the twitch in your video descs, the twitch shoutout was very good at the end and the easier you make it for people to find your link the more people will click i say this because i did want to check it out and it wasn't there, awesome tut
If they are 250health, you can E.Whirl+Dash, Auto+V melee cancel and it comes out a bit quicker, however the V melee does not kill any 275health characters.
275 characters are a pain in the ass. It's bad enough having to deal with healer ultimates and random daggers/life orbs, now you got a character that survives high commitment bursts (Magik Spidey etc) just by being full. Not sure if Psylocke suffers from this but her giving Magik a damage boost is nice.
i think that its crazy that people don't know this. Like if you wanna learn a champ just spend like 30 to 45 minutes in practice range and find these combos. like this was probably the first thing i did on her after realizing you have time before you have to spin.
Of note, you can still do this combo during Magik's Ultimate though it's less effective due to not being able to launch yourself into air with the enemy
I’ve never played a dps in games like marvel rivals let alone a flanker like magik(that’s who I play) I was wondering if you had any more good tips to get in close and how to deal with Hawkeye
Great video! A bit of constructive criticism, going forward I think it would be better for new players, like myself, if instead of saying things like "you can do this" you explain which specific ability you are using at that moment
I love Magik so much, her burst combos are wayyy too fun. I hope they change demon though, right now it's only useful for spaming portal and running away
I found out this weird unique thing she can do. It's attack instant jab. Don't know if its sauce but considering this is an option it's much slower in comparison.
As someone who has only played Magik a few times, this explnation was a bit confusing. Sounded like "do this, then this, then this." no walkthrough. Will have to boot the game up to figure out what you are saying.
Huh, that's a really interesting way to close distance/engage because yeah, Magik has issues getting close sometimes. Her dash is unfortunately very easy to miss, and there's been multiple times where I tried teleporting in to close the distance and instant died the moment I got out. Honestly, I like how so many different small content creators are all discovering their own neat little tricks with each different character. Magik is fun because it's all about how to optimize her damage, and the rest is just positioning and being able to not get lost in the middle of a fight. Edit: Testing out on PS5 and unable to replicate. Holding down R2(Left click for PC) just means she exits the portal with Eldritch Whirl, but her distance is not increased. For instance, in the training range I can't make it to the bridge with this combo. Either I'm doing it wrong, or this is only possible on PC.
hey man i’m also on ps5 and i believe i figured it out so you portal, tap r2 the second you leave the portal then dash so portal, eldritch dash then rush maybe it’s ur timing on the rush part but for us playstation players it’s more tap tap tap instead of hold on no cool down you should be able to do it unlimitedly and not touch the ground hope this helps L1, R2 then r1
@@QuickThekidd Thanks for the advice, mate. I'll try it out when I get a chance. Actually does work. The problem was that I didn't know if you needed to dash during Eldritch Whirl or not. It was confusing since the skill didn't go on CD, so there wasn't an indicator there, and it looked like he used it afterwards since he launches them into the air. Really it's just combining the spin and uppercut together which is ability extensive and tricky to use, but still a very nice tech.

(though there is some ideas to be had from leaving everything lower case as it'll stand out from everything else. so tbh personal choice on that and just study your videos analytics to see which title style does better.
YES DUDE I noticed this the first time I played her in the firing range, I'm shocked I haven't seen magik players doing this. the fact that you can autocancel the spin into the upper and hit for both is crazy!!! if you do the upper dash immediately after the step, you can even combo the uppercut into the demon, but I reckon the spin is almost always better if you're going for a single target kill combo. BTW you don't have to spend the right click to get the kill, doing spin -> upper -> M1 -> melee (V) will usually kill
Melee is very interesting because it's an extra burst of damage that's always useful. I've been playing around with it at the end of combos for a little extra dps.
The algo is hitting this vid two days later, this shit is sick, I thought magik sucked, but its tech like this that makes the game much more deep and fun. If anyone finds any new Tech for Wolverine, he needs that shit the most lol
isn't it better to do quick melee after your soul sword when you knock them up? so: whirl - e - soulsword - (quick melee) - ranged attack with quick melee you still kill all 250 HP heroes. above that you have to ranged after, but i'm pretty sure you can cancel the quick melee animation so it's still quite fast
Yep! This can work too. Quick melee is a good option, it most likely is better under most circumstances for burst. Both versions definitely have their uses.

Magik Iron Fist and Spiderman make this game feel like a fighting game more than a hero shooter lmaooo
That's a really straight forward guide and really helpful ! I was wondering why I couldn't make Magik work, but everything makes sense now. Thanks !
Dang, I thought you were going to talk about weaving in melees with her left click, but this is great to know. Thanks man!
This is a game changer. You're the goat.
magik main here, didn’t know this !! thanks for this, super helpful !!!
this is just a better use of my combo which is mostly stepping disk into dash than spin and disk out.
I figured this out too from experimentation. this particular combo can insta-kill on a non-negligible amount of characters, which is really cool.
I think one part of Magik that is slept on is her quick melee (V) weaving that in whenever you're using abilities can really help up the burst
Can you do a pinned comment with what buttons to press? I can't understand what are you saying in the video, it's too fast
agree, no clue what the combo is
Shift + left click, then E, then left click then right click
