Namor : Marvel Strike Force

I hate Namor. Don’t know why, but as soon as I got him, I’ve been trying to get him out of my main Villain squad, but he’s so easy to level up and does so much damage that I’m forced to keep him. Obviously, I’m drawn to characters that Summon other characters to my team or have more Perks and Bleeds to their moves. Namor doesn’t impress on paper, but somehow, he’s gotten me through a lot of the game as soon as I unlocked him. So, I don’t know if I recommend him. He will get you over the hump I think, but in the end, I keep him around until I get something better.

Punisher : Marvel Strike Force

There really isn’t anything special about the Punisher. He feels like a more powerful Minion character. Attacks are simple, no real added Perks to them and his categories aren’t vast enough to put a lot of focus into. I wouldn’t bother with the Punisher in any aspect.

Shocker : Marvel Strike Force

I don’t see the Shocker being used very much in my rotations. His only real bonus is getting Sinister Six bonus stats, but even that isn’t very beneficial to him. There are times I have to double check that Shocker even does damage. He has Sinister Six bonuses, but there are a lot more characters than 6 in this game so Shocker isn’t someone I take seriously.

Yondu : Marvel Strike Force

There are very few things to dislike about Yondu. Mystic, Cosmic, attacks all enemies at once. His Boarding Party adds 1-2 Ravagers to the group which have bailed me out of many matches. Any character who summons others are my favorites. There are 2 types of Ravagers you get. Either a Healer or a Damage, both are essential.

Yondu checks off all of my boxes to be in my main rotation. Having him as Villain, Mystic and Cosmic ensures that his progression won’t be wasted and he will be a long-standing staple of my teams moving forward.

Captain America : Marvel Strike Force

Obviously, the best part of using Captain America is the Blocking. That shield can block a lot of damage and with his Inspire move relay helps out himself and the allies. And when you have Iron Man as a teammate the two can do a special move where Iron Man shoots Captain America’s shield to damage all enemies. The game does a good job with combination moves but I feel like they should do more of them. Especially if it’s a kill shot.

Putting Captain America alone isn’t enough. I feel you have to pair him up with the other Avengers to really make his perks worth it. a great team would be Captain America, Sam Captain America, Iron Man, Thor and Hulk. That team has a lot of muscle and can Tank a lot of damage.

Wolverine : Marvel Strike Force

Every day I get 5 Wolverine shards by doing the 13 daily tasks. He is one of the easiest characters to ger shards for in the game which make him one of my most powerful characters. that Healing Factor makes him very difficult to take down, especially if I have a Tank at the other end of the map. His first strike has a chance to add Bleed, his Slice and Dice move adds Bleed as well and rebounds to attack 3 enemies and his Primal Berserker does 620% damage and also adds Bleed. There is really no downside to using Wolverine and he is a constant in my main roster.

Loki : Marvel Strike Force

Being part of the Comic and Mystic classes make Loki a character to keep around for a long time. His Mind Control makes an opponent attack the Primary Target and they even gain a 25% damage to it. His Mirror Image summons 1-2 Loki clones and adds Stealth to your teammates. The clones just do Loki’s basic attack and the bar does fill up pretty fast so you can pop out a few more Loki clones. Loki might be one of the best characters in the game and a must in my rotation.

Red Skull :Marvel Strike Force

MARVEL Strike Force on Twitter: "Red Skull, hatred incarnate, is back for  Blitz! #Marvel #MarvelStrikeForce https://t.co/q7K4SCPGmE" / Twitter

The Red Skull is one of the only characters I NEEDED to get. Unlike other characters that Summon helpers, the Red Skull gets three at once while other characters can get 1-2 while Red Skull Summons 2-3. His attacks are somewhat powerful, but he can attack and gain Assists from the other Hydra Summons at once. I recommend him, but I wish he was apart of more categories.

Bullseye : Marvel Strike Force

Bullseye’s Killshot move might be the only reason to keep him around. You can’t beat 420% damage on 1 target. Obviously, Bullseye has amazing Accuracy, which does come in handy with enemies that have Blinding attacks. But overall, he’s not impressing me. His attacks don’t have enough perks to them and his bonuses aren’t enough to invest a lot in to.

Crossbones : Marvel Strike Force

Crossbones | Marvel Strike Force Wiki | Fandom

Crossbones is one of the first characters you can unlock through the Events. All new users in this game start off with the Crossbones and Electra events. He’s not the best character you can get, but he still helps you a lot early on. He has just a simple attack, a Taunt with a 1-2 Counter you can upgrade, but his main use is his Detonate attack. Detonate gives him 2 Death Proof and hurts all enemies for 440% damage. It can’t miss, but it can be dodged. Either way this is the one reason I keep Crossbones around. There have been many matches where that Detonate saved my characters.

Would I recommend using him? Kinda. Like I said before, he’s mainly in my rotation because he’s easy to upgrade. His attack does have a chance of a bonus attack and does Defense Down, but it’s not like stacked on Bleeds or anything worse.
