Marvel Rivals Ultron’s Battle Matrix Protocol Auto Battler Mode

Marvel Rivals has introduced a new game mode called Ultron's Battle Matrix Protocol. If you've ever played Teamfight Tactics or Auto Chess, you'll find the gameplay familiar, but if you haven't played these games yet, don't worry, we will explain how this mode works.

How Ultron's Battle Matrix Protocol Mode Works

When you jump into this mode, you'll be facing off against five other players. Here's how the overall process works:

• Match Structure: Each player selects six heroes from a randomly assigned hero pool to form their match lineup. Players will go through multiple rounds of battles until only one remains standing.

• Battle Types: The mode features two types of battle rounds:
  • PvP rounds: In PvP rounds, players are matched evenly. If you lose a match, your health points are deducted. In case of a tie, both players lose health points. When there's an odd number of players, the unpaired player faces a mirrored lineup of a randomly selected opponent. If the unpaired player loses or ties, they lose health, but if they win, the mirrored opponent doesn't lose health.
  • PvE rounds: In PvE rounds, you fight against Galacta Bots and earn Modules based on your battle results.

• Elimination and Victory: When a player's health reaches 0, they're eliminated and ranked based on the number of remaining players. The match ends when only one player remains.

Round Structure

Each round consists of three phases:

1. Module Draw Phase: Players spend Tokens to purchase Modules. These take effect at the start of the battle phase. You can also purchase Modules during the battle phase, but their effects are delayed until the next battle phase.
2. Deploy Phase: Players arrange the positions of their heroes on the battlefield.
3. Battle Phase: The actual combat takes place, with heroes fighting automatically based on your positioning and upgrades.

Positioning matters significantly in this mode. You can place your support heroes in the back, tanks in the front, or split your duelists in different corners.

During battle phases, you can control your Ultron robot to move freely and use abilities to influence the battle outcome:

Ultron Bot Abilities:

• L Shift: Deal one-time damage to all surviving enemy units
• E: One-time healing for all surviving allied units

How Does the Economy System Work in Ultron's Battle Matrix Protocol Mode

The mode features a detailed economy system. Here is how it works:

• Passive Income: You receive 15 tokens at the start of every match as base income.

• Interest System: Your wallet generates additional tokens based on your current balance:
  • 10+ tokens = +1 token interest
  • 20+ tokens = +2 tokens interest
  • 30+ tokens = +3 tokens interest
  • 40+ tokens = +4 tokens interest
  • 50+ tokens = +5 tokens interest (maximum)

• Win/Loss Streak Bonuses: Additional tokens are awarded based on your current winning or losing streak.

• Module Trading: You can sell modules back for tokens, with the return value depending on their rarity level.
  • Common ones sell for 4
  • Rare ones sell for 9
  • Legendary ones sell for 14

Ultron's Battle Matrix Protocol Mode Release Date and Rewards

Ultron's Battle Matrix Protocol mode launched on June 6th and runs until June 23rd as part of the Season 2.5 update. This mode is marked as a limited-time experimental mode, so it won't be around forever initially. However, if the mode receives positive community feedback, we might see it staying as a permanent mode.
