Marvel Rivals: Easy Guide to Assist Mutants as Magneto and Unlock Homo Superior Achievement

In Marvel Rivals, there are tons of achievements to chase—some easy, some confusing, and some just plain tricky. One achievement that often stumps players is Homo Superior, which requires you to assist fellow mutants while playing as Magneto.

If you’re stuck wondering why your progress isn’t moving, don’t worry—you’re not alone. In this guide, I’ll show you exactly how to assist mutants as Magneto and unlock the Homo Superior achievement without the headache.

What Is the Homo Superior Achievement in Marvel Rivals?

The Homo Superior achievement is part of Marvel Rivals’ broader Heroic Journey goals. At first glance, it sounds simple:

“Assist mutant allies as Magneto.”

However, there’s a catch. Magneto is a Vanguard hero—he’s built to absorb damage and dominate the front lines. Because he’s so powerful, you’ll often accidentally secure kills instead of assists, and that’s why your progress may be stuck.

How to Complete the Homo Superior Achievement as Magneto

To unlock Homo Superior, you need assists—not kills. Here’s how to make sure your contribution counts:

Step 1: Shield Mutant Allies While They Secure Kills

Your best tool? Magneto’s Metal Bulwark (E ability). Use Metal Bulwark to shield your mutant teammates while they are attacking enemies.

Important: Do not damage the enemy your ally is fighting—otherwise, you might steal the kill instead of assisting.

Pro Tip: Focus purely on protecting your teammates. Even if it feels passive, this is the most reliable way to rack up assists.

Best mode for this: Jump into Quick Matches where things are more casual, and you can coordinate more easily.

Step 2: Shield Mutants to Save Them From Death

Another way to get assists:

• Watch for mutant allies who are low on health.
• Quickly deploy Metal Bulwark to save them from dying.
• If your shield helps them survive and land a kill afterward, it still counts as an assist.

This method requires good timing, but it’s extremely effective once you get the hang of it.

Which Heroes Are Considered Mutants in Marvel Rivals?

Only assists for mutant characters count toward Homo Superior. Here’s the current list:

• Psylocke
• Wolverine
• Storm
• Namor
• Magik
• Magneto (yes, assisting another Magneto counts!)

Important Note: Scarlet Witch is NOT considered a mutant in Marvel Rivals. Even though she’s Magneto’s daughter in Marvel comics, the game lore separates her. Magneto even references this in pre-match dialogue.

Stick to supporting the confirmed mutants!

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Accidentally getting kills: Focus on shielding—not attacking.
• Shielding non-mutants: Only mutant assists count!
• Playing too aggressively: Homo Superior is about teamwork, not solo domination.

Quick Tips to Unlock Homo Superior Faster

1. Stick close to your mutant teammates during fights.
2. Communicate using pings or voice chat if possible.
3. Play Quick Matches to find more opportunities.
4. Prioritize assisting mutant heroes instead of chasing kills.

Conclusion: Teamwork Makes the Dream Work!

Unlocking the Homo Superior achievement in Marvel Rivals requires you to shift your mindset: instead of playing aggressively, you need to protect your mutant allies and let them shine.

By using Metal Bulwark strategically and focusing on assists rather than eliminations, you’ll unlock this achievement much faster—and probably win more games in the process.
