A field-by-field before-and-after map of Scarlet Witch's Version 20260911 rework, separated from the Strategist energy change that applies beyond one hero.
Scarlet Witch's Season 10 rework is a connected kit change, not a single buff or nerf. Version 20260911 adds Chaos Mark interactions, replaces or changes attack behavior, modifies Dark Seal and Mystic Projection, and reshapes Reality Erasure. A separate global rule reduces Strategist ultimate-energy generation; it must not be attributed to Scarlet Witch alone.

| Field | Before Season 10 | Version 20260911 | Verified operational consequence |
|---|---|---|---|
| Scarlet Hex | Prior attack behavior | 20m × 8m area; 40 damage; applies Chaos Mark | Target selection starts a mark-dependent chain |
| Passive | No current Chaos Mark bonus-health loop | 25% of damage to marked targets becomes bonus health, capped at 50 | Marked targets feed a bounded survival resource |
| Chaos Control | 85 damage per second | 75 damage per second; all marked targets in a 20m, 120° cone | Lower listed rate but broader marked-target interaction |
| Chthonian Burst | 0.5s interval; 160 listed DPS | 0.4s interval; 200 listed DPS | Faster interval and higher listed output |
| Dark Seal | Earlier stun and field behavior | 0.3s initial stun; 20 DPS; 30% slow; applies marks | Brief interrupt followed by a marked slow field |
| Mystic Projection | 50% movement-speed increase | 35% movement-speed increase | Less movement acceleration |
| Reality Erasure | Previous wind-up and damage behavior | 4s wind-up; damage scales 50 to 80 in 15m; official note says a small immunity chance | Timing and risk must be relearned; no invented probability |
This comparison keeps the official “small chance” wording instead of inventing a percentage.
How Chaos Mark changes the decision order
- Apply or identify Chaos Mark with an ability that supports it.
- Decide whether marked-target pressure or immediate repositioning is safer.
- Use Chaos Control when the cone and marked targets justify the channel.
- Track the 50 bonus-health cap; damage beyond the condition is not unlimited protection.
- Treat Dark Seal's 0.3-second initial stun as a brief interrupt, not a permanent lock.
The comparison visual beside this section maps these dependencies. If a key number changes, the prose and visual fingerprint must be reviewed together.
Separate the global energy change
Season 10 also changes Strategist ultimate-energy conversion:
- Healing conversion: 70% → 65%.
- Damage conversion: 55% → 50%.
This affects the role-level energy economy. It is not evidence that Scarlet Witch alone charges or denies ultimates differently.
What can be concluded—and what cannot
The official values support conclusions about range, damage, interval, slow, wind-up, and resource caps. They support saying old input timing and mark priorities may be stale. They do not establish Scarlet Witch's new win rate, tournament priority, universal matchups, or tier. Those judgments need current match data with rank, platform, map, team composition, and sample boundaries.

QUICK ANSWERS
Questions players ask next
What is Chaos Mark in Scarlet Witch's Season 10 rework?
Season 10 connects multiple Scarlet Witch abilities through Chaos Mark. Her passive can convert damage to marked targets into bonus health, capped at 50.
Did Mystic Projection get faster in Season 10?
No. Its movement-speed increase changed from 50% to 35% in the official balance post.
Is the Strategist ultimate-energy change part of Scarlet Witch's rework?
No. The healing and damage conversion reductions are global Strategist rules and should be evaluated separately.
