Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3: 10 MAJOR Issues Team Ninja Must Fix

When Ultimate Alliance 3 relies so heavily on its diverse character roster to shift units, it helps if each of those characters actually functions as intended.

Enter Scarlet Witch, everyone's favourite dodgily-accented levitating telepath. Poor Wanda gets no love from the developers, and has just 11 synergies with other characters. To put that in perspective, the character with the next-lowest number of synergies has 94 of them, with most hovering around the 200 mark.

In a game which has been built around the synergy system (see above), that is a big deal. Even if you don't want to play as Wanda, just having her on your team becomes a liability as it restricts what attacks you are able to initiate.

The problem seems to be that her special moves have not been given the appropriate elemental attributes which the game uses to calculate synergy usage. It is not clear whether Scarlet Witch is unfinished or if this is just a bizarre design choice.

Either way, Wanda needs a rework pronto, or else she risks languishing in everyone's pile of unused characters stuck forever on level ten.
