HUNTER! Love the flexibility and also being able to create 'ourselves' as part of the team. The entire RPG aspect is also fun, although a bit comical seeing as how everyone seems to love us! 🥰
Besides Hunter, hands down Nico. she can really change the map with right draws. I just wish Magik could generate Heroism better, I feel her kit needs to provide more to the group. I'm going to try Hunter, Nico and Marvel to see how they work together. ( btw way ghost rider and Magik work really well together. )
I think blade is my favorite right now. While his bleed triggers at the end of the enemy's turn, it works great to get chip damage for bosses and strong foes that can't be easily KOed in 1 round.
Iron Man, with the right deck and mods, can single-handedly carry entire missions. Especially with the Hunter spec’d out to generate heroism/card draw.
I and my son have become obsessed with this game, he watches me play it and I've even taught him to play it too and all because of Hunters heal ability, more specifically the cheesy smile he pulls when he heals. It's weird, we've always been close but sharing this game has made us closer still. Its well worth the price just for that.
Well it depends on the difficulty. Ultimate III is far different than Normal or Heroic I difficulty. Wolverine and Captain Marvel go way down the harder the difficulty setting.
I agree. This game excels at providing tools so that any player can choose how they want to play and succeed. The determining factor super success is more team building than crafting for individual performance.
A combo I found. Set up hellmouth and banish holes using Magic and Ghost Rider. Use Magic's portals to line up with the holes that you've created. You'll have a percentage chance of instant killing any enemy. The percent goes up the more damage that you deal to them and you can also use Magic's movement action to send people through the portal for free once you have the upgrade that allows you to use movement to knockback.
Nice strategy Jesse ! With these combination, the elite demons like guardian and the duplicating demons , hydra officer can be positioned for instant K.O by hellmouth I be sure to try it out , i specced my hunter to be a fully fledged healer , magick isn’t a good tank but she sure can take a beating so all the healing support comes in handy while ghost rider can chain his life-steal ability
@@ProCrow7 it’s fortify , 2 heals , 2 holy spark , holy burst , inspire, patience or blade storm ultimate all with mods. My heals gives 254 block so that’s a great roll ! If you want a beefier build, swap patience or blade storm ultimate for guarding strike, you be a on full defence, with my double heals and holy burst that gives AOE heals. My heroes doesn’t go down easily. But, still you need to strategies and play well accordingly. For ghost rider , it’s 2 hell mouths , 2 lash , 2 drain life , judgement and penance stare ultimate.
Magik's Darkchylde is completely overpowered. Especially with a maxed card. Invulnerability and taunting everyone. You just have to watch all the ennemies attacking her for nothing while she counter every hit.
I play her as a Tank sometimes, especially now that I have Darkchylde. Double It Up with Nico or use it with one of the cards/items that prevents exhaust and you have it for two turns. She's a rockstar when the cards fall for you.
One thing not mentioned, but very powerful - Doctor Strange's abilities that add damage to cards apply on EACH hit of Chain moves - he makes characters like Wolverine or Blade WAY better than they would otherwise be, as the damage is a flat number, rather than a %.
I see some good synergy between Iron Man's redraw mechanic with Wolverine's Self-Heal mechanic, and Magik's Gather attack with Scarlet Witch's AoE dependence.
I would rank Magik higher. You are not supposed to place a portal without having a means to use it that turn because they move when they attack. So I didn’t understand that, just keep it in your hand till next turn
Magik ftw. Hunter to generate heroism w/ quick attacks and buffed heroism gains along with single target healing to draw cards & provide buffs was so much fun. Then a third like Captain Marvel or America as a tank plus damage dealer. Captain America’s draw two cards while also gaining 200+ block, giving 70+ block to everyone else and having an added boost to it that you choose was incredible. Doctor strange works well as well with Magik and Hunter as his buffs are useful. Honestly everyone felt evened out enough that you can make it work with whomever you decide to get good with. I really loved the game and can’t wait for what they do going forward. Lots of potential and the groundwork is laid for them now to expand if they do a sequel.
Strange, Tony, and Hunter. Hunter and Tony have incredible heroic generating abilities, and Strange supports them very well. I have yet to come across a character that can out damage Hunter. I have used Strange to buff Hunter's conceal attack to hit for nearly 400 damage, while generating heroic, and essentially removing a strong opponent off the map. This game is so darn fun!
I don't envy this content creator, there's no right answer. I've put 100 hours into this game and Ghost Rider is my best hero; I play him with Hunter and heal him if I need to, but I just Lash it up, Drop a Hellmouth if I need heroics and Hell Ride for the win almost every game (big bosses get the Penance Stare). Meanwhile this creator has Captain Marvel at two; she's my favorite hero, but it takes three cards to make her go Binary, you should wait for the next turn after you have it to use it and then if you use her as your Tank she'll lose her block (and her binary) quickly. That said, if you play her with another Tank like Captain America to soak up attack she's so much fun. This game just isn't made for tier lists or rankings because in the right team with the right cards they're all incredible.
I’m not a fan of ghost rider losing health yet. Guess I have to use him more. But so far my fav hero is MAGIK . Her field control and moving people into explosives across the map is so satisfying
If you're using a light side Hunter, you should be able to keep GR healed up pretty well. It's even better if you always pair GR with Nico, as she's got a lot of life steal and heal options. All three together I can melt most encounters on the mid-tier difficulties.
@@JayIceColdD I’m not gonna lie I hate nico never liked her as a whole even outside of the game I just think she’s corny. I wouldn’t dare put her on my team 😂😂😂😂😂she’s my only low level hero
I solo with ghost rider. I have him decked out with most of his cards giving him life or shield. Also his passive keeps expanding his health bar. Which is wild but nobody talks about it barley.
I bring Hellmouth for heroism then play Drain Souls to get his health back (that has lifesteal). Hell Ride is your knockout card. Use it with your last card play every turn and that cleans up the whole battlefield. With Hunter healing/creating heroism and a good Tank like Captain America to soak up damage Ghost Rider is an absolute monster damage dealer, the best in the game in my opinion.
@@Kameleonic I just finished a mission (won't spoil) that requires 10 heroism in two turns...merely because he was on the team. Yes it depends on how you use him, like you said. But he is unique in his heroism generation and support abilities.
@@johnbarnes102 Doctor strange also has one of the best ultimate card abilities , he does massive AOE damage and just buffs damage dealing heroes to a T and he is top tier for sure.
@@johnbarnes102 that's exactly what I was about to say. He allows you to not only have more turns but build heroism alot easier than anyone else. He is 100% a good pick for harder difficulties because of that.
I agree, just don’t bring AOE heavy hitters like Hulk , Captain Marvel , Scarlet witch that can destroy the environments easily with their abilities 😆 if you plan to, just be cautious of using their abilities Captain America, Doctor strange, Wolverine, etc , are your best bet
I find him hard to actually get the most use of. It's so situational how much/well placed the environment stuff is, and his own attacks aren't really that strong when it comes to dealing with the big, mean things. He -is- really great at clearing out a lot of chaff though!.
@@Tommygun23455 Magik is also a rockstar with Spidey as you can move enemies around for big environment kills. Bring Hunter for heals and the Darkchylde card to avoid all damage.
I love blade. I can KO 6 enemies with him and leave some heavy bleed to bigger enemies as well as do savage to take a blocker out of block and leave bleeding all in one turn. No support but he kills a lot pretty fast for me.
It's hard to have a "favorite" character. I'm very surprised at how much I use all the characters. This has been the first game with this many characters in it where I can honestly say there are few that I don't use often. I don't use blade often for instance...and that not cause he is super weak or anything, just cause I don't like his play style as much as some others. But I also don't super mind using him when I have to.
I disagree with some of these pretty strongly but at least we agree ironman is insane. Aside from the hunter he's the one that's turned around the most missions for me as the last man standing.
I don't have all the heroes yet, and I am terrible at the game but I think you do Blade an injustice. Bleed may not be good on minions but in boss encounters it can do a lot of damage. I only just got Capt America last night and he seems to be a better tank than Marvel, but her binary ability makes her a powerhouse. Not sure I have a favourite just yet but am just enjoying the story and discovering the abbey grounds. There are some issues in the game that broken but as they aren't about character builds I will put those aside. Thanks for your guides and being an Aussie.
Captain america is actually one of the best tanks in the game, if not the best as he should be. Blade excels at doing bleed AOE to soften enemies up He fits in so well with other powerhouse damage dealers , if you are using Captain marvel, be careful not to use any of her abilities that will taunt other enemies away from Cap America. I also wouldn’t recommend using Wolverine with Cap as his chain attacks taunt enemies , but rather Spider-Man, Blade, Ghost rider, Scarlet witch, Iron Man,etc
Not really, bleed sucks not only for the reason he mentioned but because the stacking isnt as other games.5 bleeds dont do 5 times the dmg, they just do X dmg for 5 turns.
@@havocgr1976 What havoc said, blade is very underwhelming and he needs a rework on his bleed, he is also fragile. His bleed doesn’t stack ontop of one another I would rather use wolverine or captain marvel who are much more valuable and self-efficient tankers that deal decent damage
the little bit i have played (~level 11 and just got cap america), it took a while to get some running, but i love Magik. Gather can do a ton of damage to a bunch of enemies and bring them together.
No joke. I have her upgraded Restore modded with "Draw a Nico card" and it's ridiculous. Cast on a character with less than 50% health, keep the Restore, draw a Nico card, AND possibly draw another card with her passive "And Another One."
Fav hero, Spidey, but fav in this game, probably hunter or ghost rider. Hunter is actually pretty dope and centers the story, I love her\him being there. But I only have 7 or 8 heroes so far. Magik is dope, neko is dope, Dr strange is awesome....it's hard, as a magic player I have to find out once I get further through
Tbh there's not a single character that's bad. Even on the hardest difficulty you'll notice when you have two other heroes down and one left standing, your hand gets with filled with a majority of the surviving hero's cards. I have always been able to solo every encounter with that surviving hero, doesn't matter who it is. 90% of the difficulty is the randomization of the cards you get. When you're guaranteed a set of one heroe's cards it becomes extremely easy.
For me the best are strange, hunter and iron man the damage that this team can do is stupid. I always one shot bosses with that team. I also like ghost rider a lot
Interestingly, enough Eric Brooks-Cross (Blade) is my go to person for killing bosses and dammit anything else I need to. His bleed is actually very useful if you know what you’re doing. If only wolverine had bleed by default too. Plus his steak attack and life leech mod is something else.
Bleed is very good at higher difficulty because even regular non-minion troops will have too much life to go down to even a combo card. So even if you don't cash in the bleed with reaper, the damage over time is still a great benefit.
I feel like Blade is kinda underwhelming on the harder difficulties because his bleed is sort of lacking and it doesn’t stack ontop of one another. I often swap Blade with Cap marvel or Wolverine or Hulk
It's really dumb that characters who were actually in the midnight sons, GHOST RIDER SPECIFICALLY, are over shadowed by characters who were brought into the game for what feels like mainstream popularity. Kinda tired of seeing Cap and iron man attached to everything. Bring me some man thing, or better yet all the howling commandos.
I feel that, but seeing as I constantly use Spider-Man and Wolverine it would be hypocritical of me to criticize anyone for just picking the characters they love haha 😂 I do agree that Ghost Rider needs a bit more love, using Ghost Rider with Magik's portals is super cool and not enough people do that combo. Anyways I hope anyone reading has a pleasant day and is enjoying expirementing in Midnight Suns. :)
@@coreymckee4844I'm guessing they want to do a werewolf dlc with elsa and moon knight, but no idea if the game did well enough for them to continue. It is Firaxis though, so, we'll see
i liked that fact honestly like it goes well with the story having the sons be mistrusted by the avengers but then end up proving themselves in the main points of the story showing that they are fully capable and for me in combat ghost rider was one of the best characters
Just got this last night. Awesome game TBH. I feel it has just the right combination of stuff, and feels like a proper game that was made just because someone had a vision for it etc. Something like Mass Effect before the meddling. But really, it's the Combat puzzle that draws me into games, and this game has a perfect one. It almost feels like Nintendo game design, how it has some key ideas and then builds upon them. The combat is essentially 3 things, threat management, positioning and deck building/card game. When I found out this game was to be a deck builder, I was worried about it (as had been looking forward to the idea of Marvel X-Com since I first heard about the project) It turned out to be near perfect (for me at least) then the downtime side of it is essentially a modern Fire Emblem game (in terms of the social stuff) but fans of Persona will also feel at home here. What a great, bundle of ideas. Definitely feels like a Nintendo game to me though. This is because it has a few simple ideas that the entire game is built upon. It doesn't appear to be full of unnecessary BS to pad it out. They just went with this 3-pronged idea for the combat, and then boldly chose a life sim as the downtime (rather than base management, etc that is common place in games like this) It just works, though.
I absolutely understand why Ghost Rider is so low. But, I run a light side Hunter and when I pair those two with Nico... My God does Robbie eat through enemies mouthfuls at a time.
@@norzza hmmm not a ton. I'll usually hit a bigger enemy with a bleed early on and let it tick them down for a little bit. I tend to just use Blade's big damage numbers. Or his chain attacks to get rid of minions or last hit low health enemies
When you talked about Hunter... you should have also mentioned that the ONLY way you gain friendship through combat missions is if Hunter is in the party. :) As for favorite team... Hunter, Captain Marvel and Spider-Man. :)
They’re all pretty even and can be made to work depending on comp… but the one stand out is 1000% Iron Man. He is on a completely different level and I love it cuz he’s my fav lol. Just clearing ultimate difficulties like it’s nothing with him.
💯 agree. Iron man is on another level. Once you unlock his epic cards and get him fully upgraded, he’s able to solo carry missions easily on Ult 3. If Tony has a deck with 2xLeave it to Me upgraded cards, 1xAir Superiority, 2 Quick Blasts (that draw Iron Man cards), 1 precision, 1 surgical strike, and 1 copy of his legendary Midnight Suns ability, he will just keep drawing his own cards and destroy any mission
Blade is hands down the strongest hero and if your team is wiped he can single handedly wipe them out. Also wolverine can get pretty aggressive as well. I'm disappointed in the hulk however
Is this from worst to best? In that case I wouldn't put Iron Man at the top. His cards are a bit too ego for me. I wouldn't put him on a team for my hardest mission at least. Nico and prob CA or Strange along with Hunter ofc.
For me Captian Marvel is on the top only second to Spiderman. She was the only character I didn't have any problem soloing with her in the training room. Could clear out an entire wave without even using all my card uses or using environmental attacks.
Nico is my favorite character so far im waiting on storm and im also experiencing the epic hero op crash bug so i cant get nico back yet which sucks hahahaha
I sent 2k support an email with video of it happening hopefully the team gets that bug fixed until then i guess i level everyone else up to level 12as well hahaha
lol, if you know how to use Ghost Rider he is easily one of the most OP character in the game. His Hell Rider can obliterate group of enemies, then you gain soul which increase his max HP. He also have ways to heal himself and hide himself while healing. I always include him on missions which can make them a breeze. With the right party member he is unkillable and wrecks enemies
Iron Man's legendary skill is just a slightly worse version of Ghost Rider's heroic without the downside of discarding your hand and you get all the other great Iron Man cards. Healing is almost never needed outside of the occasional Hunter heal. If you're doing Iron Man right he generally kills the board in 1 turn.
Many videos have said Dr. Strange is greaat, but he's the opposite for me, time wasting cards. I prefer Hunter-Blade-Cpt.America because they can deal big damage and heal themselves (protect with Cpt. America) both. Some characters waste too much time building up to something good that often times doesn't happen.
Not a ton of options for creation.. no sliders of any kind, four face options per gender. As a customize enthusiast I might be alone but I feel pretty spoiled by other superhero games like City of Heroes/Villains and DC having given me options to design my costume from the ground up. I feel like that’s something that should come naturally in any superhero game.
@@PaladinodoCerradooficial My favorite thing about her is the portal mechanic, so I’m trying my best to make that work, maybe I’ll be able to I’m not that far into the game yet.
She is a favorite of mine as well. She is great at controlling the positions the enemy are in. Best moment for me was Venom showing up in a random mission and using Magik to stun lock him till the objective was complete.
Magik is raw as fuck. I had a mission where I used two trap doors to move characters near an explosion and Portaled a third guy into and wiped out the whole battlefield in 3 moves.
With the legendary edition there is the season pass who will add 4 characters : Deadpool, Venom, Morbius, and Tornade. But they're not release yet. Plus it add 23 combat skins (but they're only cosmetic).
Why is a noob ranking characters ? Magik is like one of the best characters. Your points about her (low damage and nothing left to slam the target into), show FOR SURE you are a noob, sorry, no offense. 1) She actually has high damage, since her Limbo's Grasp ability can be modded with "free" and is upgraded to let her create portals too. It matters a lot. Why ? Because the added damage that ability provides, adds up after each use. Meaning the first time, enemies take 130~ damage on top of the rest for going through a portal, but by the time you finish the map, especially with cards that let you play it without discarding it, you can EASILY add 500-800 damage on top of the rest. We're talking about a FREE card that requires only your "move + shove" (free) to be activated. 2) You can and SHOULD slam targets into your TEAMMATES bro, since you get additional damage AND you DRAW A CARD for doing so. My advice : first master the game, and ONLY THEN, try and rank characters. You look like a damn fool here. Same stuff with Blade (I stopped watching there, sorry, waste of my time) : no support ? Bleeding not that useful ? 1) Blade can apply bleed on MANY targets, meaning he also can apply MARKED on many targets, meaning you can get back card plays on most of the enemies when you play as Blade, very easily, since his "hunger" card is "free". 2) No need to wait for turn based damage with bleed either, since you have an ability that consumes all bleed stacks at once, making him one of the best single target damage dealer because of that and his passive, you can easily stack 10-15 bleeds, then burn them all at once on a boss for massive 2K damage. Work on your builds.
@@norzza ah I miss that part where you said about starting from the bottom. Thanks. Damn I can't believe Ghost Riser is the worst. I assumed that he would be one of the top due to his damage output. Great video tho. Very informative
Spiderman is one of the weakest IMO. I hate having to take him on missions with everyone else doing more damage and controlling the battlefield. Unless he gets significantly better towards the end of the game, I loath taking him. I feel Cap is the strongest tank(I'm still missing a few Wolv/Hulk/Scarlet). I really do enjoy all the characters, but have been very disappointed in Spiderman.
What? Spider-Man is awesome. Just TWHIP!+ with Opportunist is an incredible combination. Just look at the last videos of my channel, he is shining in them (and it's Ultimate III difficulty).
@@Lyudo31 Pretty much never used SM unless I had to. My go to combo was Hulk, Hunter and/or Cap, Scarlet, Dr. S. Finished the game pretty easily on what the highest Ult difficultly was. I just dont get the love for SM and he's one of my favorite marvel characters. I also thought Wolverine was a little underpowered. His legendary ability was really good though.
@@Ev0L5 Well, I have a total different opinion. SM is the powerhouse of my team. He is so good. Someone said in the comment that the best thing about this game is that everyone has a different opinion on which characters are the best. I guess they are right!
I only have the original 8 so far, but my least favorite is Captain Marvel. Aside from Photon Beam, all of her early cards are terrible and hardly do any damage. Her quick abilities are rares, and her reliance of playing 3 bad cards just to unlock her binary ability only for her to most likely lose it after one attack is just pointless.
@@stuckNcloudz I'm not playing her wrong. Her early cards are just garbage, and being forced to use 3 just to get binary is dumb. Maybe when she's higher level and has higher rarity cards, she's better, but early game, she sucks.
@Scrobacca she has a card that draws 3-4 cards if you don't have any. Plus she has quick jab which doesn't cost a turn if you use it on minions. Those two alone put you at 1 card play away from binary and 2 card plays left to use. All of this was strategy I was able to use pretty much right away with Capt. Marvel. I certainly understand if she doesn't work for your play style. I just love how much of a powerhouse she has been on my team
This kinda similar to marval strike force if it adds clans and pvp and and raids also a lot of characters and villains like marvel strike force this game can be really good

My gather has the marked mod, and it just sets the team up so well. Highly recommend with aoe comps.

I would rank Magik higher. You are not supposed to place a portal without having a means to use it that turn because they move when they attack. So I didn’t understand that, just keep it in your hand till next turn
Yep and half the items on the map don't disappear.
But every enemy can be knocked into something in almost any position. I don’t see why we need that portal.

@@johnbarnes102 that's exactly what I was about to say. He allows you to not only have more turns but build heroism alot easier than anyone else. He is 100% a good pick for harder difficulties because of that.
He does absolutely nothing for any of my teams and he's weak asg
I feel like Spider-Man is one of the best, he can turn 3 attacks into 7 or 9 easily depending on the environment
Absolutely! I love that about him.
I agree, just don’t bring AOE heavy hitters like Hulk , Captain Marvel , Scarlet witch that can destroy the environments easily with their abilities 😆 if you plan to, just be cautious of using their abilities
Captain America, Doctor strange, Wolverine, etc , are your best bet
I find him hard to actually get the most use of. It's so situational how much/well placed the environment stuff is, and his own attacks aren't really that strong when it comes to dealing with the big, mean things.
He -is- really great at clearing out a lot of chaff though!.
@@Urikanu play him with opportunist and take advantage of the field
@@Tommygun23455 Magik is also a rockstar with Spidey as you can move enemies around for big environment kills. Bring Hunter for heals and the Darkchylde card to avoid all damage.
I love blade. I can KO 6 enemies with him and leave some heavy bleed to bigger enemies as well as do savage to take a blocker out of block and leave bleeding all in one turn. No support but he kills a lot pretty fast for me.
Blade is better then you mentioned with Bleed because he can turn the Bleed stacks into health, healing himself.
It's hard to have a "favorite" character. I'm very surprised at how much I use all the characters. This has been the first game with this many characters in it where I can honestly say there are few that I don't use often. I don't use blade often for instance...and that not cause he is super weak or anything, just cause I don't like his play style as much as some others. But I also don't super mind using him when I have to.
This is how I feel as well. I almost never take the same team on back-to-back missions
I just started playing this game. God bless Black Friday sales. Kind of digging it.
This video is really helpful.
Ghost rider has some of the coolest looking abilities
The skills that scarlet witch had when she was under lilith spell like confused and chaos field isnt even there when we play as her
Deadpool and Morbius aren't in this video
Any plans on doing an updated video since the new DLCs came out? :)
Scarlet witch with an upgraded detonation is really freakin helpful
Use Unleashed then Detonate and it's the second best card in the game behind Hulk's Worldbreaker.
I disagree with some of these pretty strongly but at least we agree ironman is insane. Aside from the hunter he's the one that's turned around the most missions for me as the last man standing.
What i Love about Magic is to create Portals and shove enemies in Hellfirepits or in an abyss.
You don't have the DLCs
Dlc is to expensive. For this money you can buy another game
I don't have all the heroes yet, and I am terrible at the game but I think you do Blade an injustice. Bleed may not be good on minions but in boss encounters it can do a lot of damage. I only just got Capt America last night and he seems to be a better tank than Marvel, but her binary ability makes her a powerhouse. Not sure I have a favourite just yet but am just enjoying the story and discovering the abbey grounds.
There are some issues in the game that broken but as they aren't about character builds I will put those aside. Thanks for your guides and being an Aussie.
Captain america is actually one of the best tanks in the game, if not the best as he should be. Blade excels at doing bleed AOE to soften enemies up
He fits in so well with other powerhouse damage dealers , if you are using Captain marvel, be careful not to use any of her abilities that will taunt other enemies away from Cap America. I also wouldn’t recommend using Wolverine with Cap as his chain attacks taunt enemies , but rather Spider-Man, Blade, Ghost rider, Scarlet witch, Iron Man,etc
Not really, bleed sucks not only for the reason he mentioned but because the stacking isnt as other games.5 bleeds dont do 5 times the dmg, they just do X dmg for 5 turns.
@@havocgr1976 What havoc said, blade is very underwhelming and he needs a rework on his bleed, he is also fragile. His bleed doesn’t stack ontop of one another
I would rather use wolverine or captain marvel who are much more valuable and self-efficient tankers that deal decent damage
@@Tommygun23455Blades lifesteal and block on card reddraws make him pretty hard to take down
New Sub. Been appreciating your Mid Night 🌞 content..
Thanks mate!
Ay was looking for this video, thank you!
Your welcome! Whose your favourite hero?
the little bit i have played (~level 11 and just got cap america), it took a while to get some running, but i love Magik. Gather can do a ton of damage to a bunch of enemies and bring them together.
Nico is low key a beast
For sure, she can be so deadly!
No joke. I have her upgraded Restore modded with "Draw a Nico card" and it's ridiculous. Cast on a character with less than 50% health, keep the Restore, draw a Nico card, AND possibly draw another card with her passive "And Another One."
If you get lucky, you draw the max dmg on that card of hers that continues after KOs she wrecks.
Fav hero, Spidey, but fav in this game, probably hunter or ghost rider. Hunter is actually pretty dope and centers the story, I love her\him being there. But I only have 7 or 8 heroes so far. Magik is dope, neko is dope, Dr strange is awesome....it's hard, as a magic player I have to find out once I get further through
Tbh there's not a single character that's bad. Even on the hardest difficulty you'll notice when you have two other heroes down and one left standing, your hand gets with filled with a majority of the surviving hero's cards. I have always been able to solo every encounter with that surviving hero, doesn't matter who it is. 90% of the difficulty is the randomization of the cards you get. When you're guaranteed a set of one heroe's cards it becomes extremely easy.
For me the best are strange, hunter and iron man the damage that this team can do is stupid. I always one shot bosses with that team. I also like ghost rider a lot
Interestingly, enough Eric Brooks-Cross (Blade) is my go to person for killing bosses and dammit anything else I need to. His bleed is actually very useful if you know what you’re doing. If only wolverine had bleed by default too. Plus his steak attack and life leech mod is something else.
strange that the 6 razor sharp adamantium claws don't do bleed :))
Bleed is very good at higher difficulty because even regular non-minion troops will have too much life to go down to even a combo card. So even if you don't cash in the bleed with reaper, the damage over time is still a great benefit.
I feel like Blade is kinda underwhelming on the harder difficulties because his bleed is sort of lacking and it doesn’t stack ontop of one another.
I often swap Blade with Cap marvel or Wolverine or Hulk
Dr Strange is so good.
It's really dumb that characters who were actually in the midnight sons, GHOST RIDER SPECIFICALLY, are over shadowed by characters who were brought into the game for what feels like mainstream popularity. Kinda tired of seeing Cap and iron man attached to everything. Bring me some man thing, or better yet all the howling commandos.
Ghost rider was pretty centered in the story and the other midnight suns. Didn't feel like they were overshined.
I feel that, but seeing as I constantly use Spider-Man and Wolverine it would be hypocritical of me to criticize anyone for just picking the characters they love haha 😂
I do agree that Ghost Rider needs a bit more love, using Ghost Rider with Magik's portals is super cool and not enough people do that combo.
Anyways I hope anyone reading has a pleasant day and is enjoying expirementing in Midnight Suns. :)
I wanted elsa bloodstone and moon knight. But nooo.. deadpool..🙄🙄
@@coreymckee4844I'm guessing they want to do a werewolf dlc with elsa and moon knight, but no idea if the game did well enough for them to continue. It is Firaxis though, so, we'll see
i liked that fact honestly like it goes well with the story having the sons be mistrusted by the avengers but then end up proving themselves in the main points of the story showing that they are fully capable and for me in combat ghost rider was one of the best characters
Just got this last night. Awesome game TBH. I feel it has just the right combination of stuff, and feels like a proper game that was made just because someone had a vision for it etc. Something like Mass Effect before the meddling.
But really, it's the Combat puzzle that draws me into games, and this game has a perfect one. It almost feels like Nintendo game design, how it has some key ideas and then builds upon them.
The combat is essentially 3 things, threat management, positioning and deck building/card game. When I found out this game was to be a deck builder, I was worried about it (as had been looking forward to the idea of Marvel X-Com since I first heard about the project) It turned out to be near perfect (for me at least) then the downtime side of it is essentially a modern Fire Emblem game (in terms of the social stuff) but fans of Persona will also feel at home here.
What a great, bundle of ideas. Definitely feels like a Nintendo game to me though. This is because it has a few simple ideas that the entire game is built upon. It doesn't appear to be full of unnecessary BS to pad it out. They just went with this 3-pronged idea for the combat, and then boldly chose a life sim as the downtime (rather than base management, etc that is common place in games like this)
It just works, though.
My favourite is Wanda Maximoff - The Scarlet Witch ❤
Love Magik darkchild ability, especialy when she got counter
Captain Marvel is a goddamn freight train. Her+Light Side Hunter+Cap or Strange is filthy.
Bro my ghost rider is auctually broken. I just don’t use hellmouth at all
"DPS" stands for Damage Per Second. Please explain how this applies to a turn-based game.
More damage in 1 turn, basically
Blade is goat status
But honestly every hero is good. I totally agree 💯
I like to balance it out.
Heavy hitter/ tank
Quick Attack/ High damage.
And support
I absolutely understand why Ghost Rider is so low.
But, I run a light side Hunter and when I pair those two with Nico... My God does Robbie eat through enemies mouthfuls at a time.
Magik , cap and iron man are my top favourite
Blade is my favorite character to use. I also love Wolverine
Great options! Do you use Blades bleed mechanics much?
@@norzza hmmm not a ton. I'll usually hit a bigger enemy with a bleed early on and let it tick them down for a little bit. I tend to just use Blade's big damage numbers. Or his chain attacks to get rid of minions or last hit low health enemies
When you talked about Hunter... you should have also mentioned that the ONLY way you gain friendship through combat missions is if Hunter is in the party. :)
As for favorite team... Hunter, Captain Marvel and Spider-Man. :)
I can't use Captain Marvel without a Tank to soak up damage because I'm always losing her binary.
They’re all pretty even and can be made to work depending on comp… but the one stand out is 1000% Iron Man. He is on a completely different level and I love it cuz he’s my fav lol. Just clearing ultimate difficulties like it’s nothing with him.
💯 agree. Iron man is on another level. Once you unlock his epic cards and get him fully upgraded, he’s able to solo carry missions easily on Ult 3. If Tony has a deck with 2xLeave it to Me upgraded cards, 1xAir Superiority, 2 Quick Blasts (that draw Iron Man cards), 1 precision, 1 surgical strike, and 1 copy of his legendary Midnight Suns ability, he will just keep drawing his own cards and destroy any mission
Blade seems nasty from my experience thus far
Blade is hands down the strongest hero and if your team is wiped he can single handedly wipe them out. Also wolverine can get pretty aggressive as well. I'm disappointed in the hulk however
How everyone forgetting about worldbreaker from hulk.
He litteraly wipe the map for 6 heroism
Is this from worst to best? In that case I wouldn't put Iron Man at the top. His cards are a bit too ego for me. I wouldn't put him on a team for my hardest mission at least. Nico and prob CA or Strange along with Hunter ofc.
Yep, worst to best after Hunter. Nico/Strange, CA and Hunter is a good combo. Good support options plus some hard hitting damage 👍
For me Captian Marvel is on the top only second to Spiderman. She was the only character I didn't have any problem soloing with her in the training room. Could clear out an entire wave without even using all my card uses or using environmental attacks.
Hunter its so OP. I made a Paladin, he heal and have good damage, perfect to help GhostRider
Perfect combo for ghost rider!
Same here. Hunter,GhostRider, Dr.Strange/Magik/Nico/wolverine, great team chemistry 👏.
Best is using Nico's Blood Magic to give GR's attacks lifesteal so he just recovers whatever he takes.
Why did they put very less marvel heroes and villains in the game? Where are the other heroes like thor, black widow, loki, penance, shocker etc
Another game that went under my radar.
Nico is my favorite character so far im waiting on storm and im also experiencing the epic hero op crash bug so i cant get nico back yet which sucks hahahaha
Happened to me yesterday. Wolverine.. he was my favorite
I sent 2k support an email with video of it happening hopefully the team gets that bug fixed until then i guess i level everyone else up to level 12as well hahaha
Uh oh what's the bug? I'm only a few hours into the game. Any way to avoid it?
Favorite of all time: Wolverine. Hands Down. As far as the game, probably next would be Ghost Rider and Iron Man.
lol, if you know how to use Ghost Rider he is easily one of the most OP character in the game. His Hell Rider can obliterate group of enemies, then you gain soul which increase his max HP. He also have ways to heal himself and hide himself while healing. I always include him on missions which can make them a breeze. With the right party member he is unkillable and wrecks enemies
Iron Man's legendary skill is just a slightly worse version of Ghost Rider's heroic without the downside of discarding your hand and you get all the other great Iron Man cards. Healing is almost never needed outside of the occasional Hunter heal. If you're doing Iron Man right he generally kills the board in 1 turn.
My tank would literally be the opposite of your ladder lol
My top 5 are ghost rider, Nico, hulk , wolverine, and spiderman
Magik it top tier keep spamming portal damage increase shes carried my team on hardest difficulty being the last hero alive
I knew I was struggling with Ghost Rider
A better video would probably be what heroes work best as a team. Ghost Riders cons are almost erased if he's with Captain America fir example
I'm thinking about a video like this. Just not sure yet how to frame it 😀
@@norzza eh, just "which heroes have the best synergy". Wanda/Magik, Ghost Rider/Cap, etc
Many videos have said Dr. Strange is greaat, but he's the opposite for me, time wasting cards. I prefer Hunter-Blade-Cpt.America because they can deal big damage and heal themselves (protect with Cpt. America) both. Some characters waste too much time building up to something good that often times doesn't happen.
Almost all gameplay I’ve seen so far have used the same face, hair and facial hair for the hunter. What’s up with that?
Not a ton of options for creation.. no sliders of any kind, four face options per gender. As a customize enthusiast I might be alone but I feel pretty spoiled by other superhero games like City of Heroes/Villains and DC having given me options to design my costume from the ground up. I feel like that’s something that should come naturally in any superhero game.
I think you still need to learn some of these hero’s … 😂
Spidey, iron man and wolverine 🙏🏼
Is there a bad one? That’s what is cool about the game. Ghost rider, Blade, Wolverine and Spider-Man are my favorites
Not really. As I said in the video, each hero has their own strength and weaknesses.
My favo is magik! She is always in my team
Im still early, but Ive already stopped using Ghost Rider.
Same
I did a similar thing, started using him more later game. He has some strong abilities but there are better options.
Magik is my favorite to use, which really sucks cause her damage is very lackluster
She is the best to Cc enemys and put they close to AOE attacks, I love her.
@@PaladinodoCerradooficial My favorite thing about her is the portal mechanic, so I’m trying my best to make that work, maybe I’ll be able to I’m not that far into the game yet.
She is a favorite of mine as well. She is great at controlling the positions the enemy are in. Best moment for me was Venom showing up in a random mission and using Magik to stun lock him till the objective was complete.
I love using Magik for crowd control to set up combos or environmental attacks.
Magik is raw as fuck. I had a mission where I used two trap doors to move characters near an explosion and Portaled a third guy into and wiped out the whole battlefield in 3 moves.
Can you post some of your gameplay?
and which are the premium characters of the videogame with the legendary edition ?
None, they're all available through the main story
With the legendary edition there is the season pass who will add 4 characters : Deadpool, Venom, Morbius, and Tornade. But they're not release yet. Plus it add 23 combat skins (but they're only cosmetic).
I personally think early game captain marvel is really good
The normal difficulty is kind of hard, actually.
So where is the Rank?
Cool
Thanks for the vid but geeeeesh, just like the game way to much talking in the intro. like the game I skipped ahead to get to the good parts.
Why is a noob ranking characters ?
Magik is like one of the best characters. Your points about her (low damage and nothing left to slam the target into), show FOR SURE you are a noob, sorry, no offense.
1) She actually has high damage, since her Limbo's Grasp ability can be modded with "free" and is upgraded to let her create portals too. It matters a lot. Why ? Because the added damage that ability provides, adds up after each use. Meaning the first time, enemies take 130~ damage on top of the rest for going through a portal, but by the time you finish the map, especially with cards that let you play it without discarding it, you can EASILY add 500-800 damage on top of the rest. We're talking about a FREE card that requires only your "move + shove" (free) to be activated.
2) You can and SHOULD slam targets into your TEAMMATES bro, since you get additional damage AND you DRAW A CARD for doing so.
My advice : first master the game, and ONLY THEN, try and rank characters.
You look like a damn fool here.
Same stuff with Blade (I stopped watching there, sorry, waste of my time) : no support ? Bleeding not that useful ?
1) Blade can apply bleed on MANY targets, meaning he also can apply MARKED on many targets, meaning you can get back card plays on most of the enemies when you play as Blade, very easily, since his "hunger" card is "free".
2) No need to wait for turn based damage with bleed either, since you have an ability that consumes all bleed stacks at once, making him one of the best single target damage dealer because of that and his passive, you can easily stack 10-15 bleeds, then burn them all at once on a boss for massive 2K damage.
Work on your builds.
Absolutely 💯 agree. Magik is #1. If used even half decently she pairs well with literally every other hero.
Ghost Rider is 👌
The not having something to hit after the portal means you suck at playing the game.
Hunter Nico
+ Anyone else
So what's their rank??
Their in order from worst to best 👍
@@norzza ah I miss that part where you said about starting from the bottom. Thanks. Damn I can't believe Ghost Riser is the worst. I assumed that he would be one of the top due to his damage output. Great video tho. Very informative
Ranked? Where?
Their in order from worst to best.
13 is not a lot of characters.
Spiderman is one of the weakest IMO. I hate having to take him on missions with everyone else doing more damage and controlling the battlefield. Unless he gets significantly better towards the end of the game, I loath taking him.
I feel Cap is the strongest tank(I'm still missing a few Wolv/Hulk/Scarlet). I really do enjoy all the characters, but have been very disappointed in Spiderman.
What? Spider-Man is awesome. Just TWHIP!+ with Opportunist is an incredible combination.
Just look at the last videos of my channel, he is shining in them (and it's Ultimate III difficulty).
@@Lyudo31 Pretty much never used SM unless I had to. My go to combo was Hulk, Hunter and/or Cap, Scarlet, Dr. S. Finished the game pretty easily on what the highest Ult difficultly was. I just dont get the love for SM and he's one of my favorite marvel characters. I also thought Wolverine was a little underpowered. His legendary ability was really good though.
@@Ev0L5 Well, I have a total different opinion. SM is the powerhouse of my team. He is so good. Someone said in the comment that the best thing about this game is that everyone has a different opinion on which characters are the best. I guess they are right!
@@Lyudo31 True that! The game surprised me...I really didnt think I was going to love it as much and I did.
Can you sound any more bogen
I only have the original 8 so far, but my least favorite is Captain Marvel. Aside from Photon Beam, all of her early cards are terrible and hardly do any damage. Her quick abilities are rares, and her reliance of playing 3 bad cards just to unlock her binary ability only for her to most likely lose it after one attack is just pointless.
If you put counter on her and get her in binary mode and taunt them, I promise you will see some results
You may be playing her wrong. Captain Marvel is by far my strongest character and I can do most missions barely using anyone else's cards.
@@stuckNcloudz I'm not playing her wrong. Her early cards are just garbage, and being forced to use 3 just to get binary is dumb. Maybe when she's higher level and has higher rarity cards, she's better, but early game, she sucks.
@Scrobacca she has a card that draws 3-4 cards if you don't have any. Plus she has quick jab which doesn't cost a turn if you use it on minions. Those two alone put you at 1 card play away from binary and 2 card plays left to use. All of this was strategy I was able to use pretty much right away with Capt. Marvel. I certainly understand if she doesn't work for your play style. I just love how much of a powerhouse she has been on my team
@@stuckNcloudz She doesn't start with quick jabs. It took me 6 missions with her until I finally RNG'd one.
i disagree lol
How would you rank them?
Click bait title. Great video for getting to know all the heroes. But shitty click bait title. I actually wanted a ranking.
Though the ranking was worst to best
He literally said we are gonna start at the bottom with GR 🤷🏽♂️
Sorry for the confusion. Their ranked in order from worst to best, as I said in the video.
@@norzzathere wasn’t any confusion - you very clearly stated that’s how you were ranking them.
This kinda similar to marval strike force if it adds clans and pvp and and raids also a lot of characters and villains like marvel strike force this game can be really good
Hhhhuuuuullllllllllkkkkkkkkk
