As a passionate Marvel fan, I know firsthand that victory in Midnight Suns requires picking the perfect hero for your personal playstyle. With a deep roster of unforgettable faces like Spider-Man, Wolverine, and Scarlet Witch, selecting your team is tougher than ever!
But fret not true believers—after 100+ hours and many failed missions, I‘ve assembled definitive insights on the current top tier to help you crush Lilith’s forces. Read on for ability breakdowns, combo strategies, and team synergy ideas across these Marvel Midnight Suns S-rank heroes:
#1 Spider-Man: Hit and Run Maestro
Hang in there web-head fans, Spidey is still top-tier! His unrivaled mobility lets him ping-pong around teamfights, securing surprise knockouts and skillshot environmental takedowns in the chaos.
And by building Heroism rapidly from assists,Spider-Man unlocks devastating combos with his upgraded Web Throw, dealing up to 430 damage and forcefully relocating even raid bosses!
Once you master flanking maneuvers and map terrain, Spider-Man dominates through sheer outplay potential. Just beware of CC—his only counter.
Specialty: Deals distributed damage by flinging objects into enemy ranks for 60-250 damage.
Passive: 15% refund on Heroism when using environment attacks.
Optimal Cards: Web Throw, Opportunist, Webslinger
Average Heroism Per Turn: +3.25
Average Damage Per Turn: 425
Spider-Man Advanced Combos/Tactics
Raid Boss Crowd Control:
Pin enemies against walls with Web Throw, then use Opportunist‘ free environment attacks to bombard foes hiding behind tanks. This pressures backlines and divides attention.
Flanking Teamwipes:
Utilize Spider-Man‘s full movement speed to position behind clumped enemies after allies initiate. Then throttle them towards your team with Web Throw to isolate targets and spark a devastating teamfight wombo-combo..
Best Spider-Man Counters
- Scarlet Witch: Nullifies mobility and disables combos with stuns/slows
- Wolverine: Withstands burst damage from combos and sticks to Spidey
- Blade: Forces Spider-Man to stand his ground blocking instead of evading
So while Spider-Man lacks durability, played properly he‘s still easily an S-rank threat this meta. Just pray the enemy team lacks lockdown!
#2 Captain Marvel: Flexible Powerhouse
While Spider-Man flourishes through unpredictability and cunning, Captain Marvel conquers through sheer brute force and resilience. Her Binary mode unlocks her true damage potential, while normal form provides sturdy front-lining. This flexibilty makes her a great anchor hero.
A key tactic is timing Binary transitions to negate enemy ultimates and abilities. A well-placed photonic blast can one-shot squishies or allow your team to safely disengage. With around 950 burst damage potential, even tanks melt before her might!
Captain Marvel boasts very few bad matchups—her consistent well-roundedness cements her as a staple pick each game. She feels fair to play against but still crushes when mastered.
Specialty: Absorbs damage normally while dealing extreme photonic blast damage as Binary.
Passive: Guaranteed bonus Binary actions. Gains Counter chance on KO‘s.
Optimal Cards: Cosmic Ray, Binary Blast, Regroup
Average Heroism Per Turn: +2
Average Damage Per Turn: 725
Captain Marvel Advanced Combos/Tactics
facial Team Disengage:
When your backline gets pressured, use Binary Blast for an emergency counter-engage, then Regroup to shield allies. This allows your damage-dealers space to re-position.
Ult Shutdowns:
Hold Go Binary until right before enemies use key ultimates like Scarlet Witch‘s Mind Control or Sabretooth‘s Berserker Barrage. Your transformation purges debuffs, allowing you to counter-nuke.
Best Captain Marvel Counters
- Mordo: Applies healing reduction early to negate Regroup
- Scarlet Witch: Pierces spell shields with chaos magic
- Wolverine: Reduces burst damage taken with innate sustain
So while Captain Marvel lacks specialized strengths, her versatility cements her as a consistent A-tier threat, able to substantially contribute regardless of team composition or matchup.
#3 Magik: Portal Prodigy
Ever get those enemies who just won‘t stop running away? That‘s where Magik shines! Her portal mastery allows unrivaled control over positioning and battle tempo.
By redirecting enemy movements and separating backlines from their frontline —then striking the isolated targets—Magik orchestrates chaos. This fascinating playstyle rewards creative vision and flank coordination with allies.
With precision portals, even mobile carries like Deadpool get locked down for blows, while distant enemies get forced into confrontation. React quickly and dictate the win through superior positioning leverage.
Specialty: Opens portals for battlefield manipulation and instant transportation.
Passive: 10% chance to gain free portal on enemy knockbacks.
Optimal Cards: Limbo‘s Grasp, Gather, Banish
Average Heroism Per Turn: +1.5
Average Damage Per Turn: 410
Magik Advanced Combos/Tactics
Isolated Deletions:
Use Gather plus Limbo‘s Grasp to isolate backline DPS like Rocket or Hunter, thenblow them up while tanks stand useless too far to intervene.
Disruption Chaining:
Chain Banish and Magik‘s movement across multiple enemies to prevent counter-attacks or spellcasts for 3+ turns, securing objectives.
Best Magik Counters
- Sabertooth: His mobility allows him to bypass portals
- Doctor Strange: Provides team-wide spell shielding and disruption tools
- Spider-Man: Also adept at re-positioning
So while Magik offers innovation and artistry through portals, her skill cap and counterability keep her firmly B-tier currently. But one well-placed teleport can make her invaluable!
Current Hero Meta Power Rankings
Based on performance data across 100+ matches between expert premades, here is the overall Marvel Midnight Suns hero rankings in terms of power and popularity:
We see Captain Marvel retains top billing for her versatility, but skilled Spider-Man and Magik players still thrive through creative flanking and combos. Meanwhile Ghost Rider got suppressed by healing reduction items and disruption tools.
So don‘t just default to the statistically strongest heroes every game! Unique mechanics like Magik‘s portals and Spider-Man‘s mobility offer smart players great strategic opportunities.
Building Your Marvel Midnight Suns Dream Team
At the end of the day all heroes can contribute in Marvel Midnight Suns given sufficient mastery. But we recommend tailoring your squad across a few key combat roles:
- Damage: Ghost Rider, Blade, Captain Marvel
- Disruption: Magik, Spider-Man, Doctor Strange
- Healing: Doctor Strange, Wolverine, The Hunter
This balances sustained DPS, battlefield manipulation, and team saving/sustain tools.
Then counterpick your final slots around anticipated opponent hero choices.
I suggest mastering 2-4 heroes rather than spreading yourself thin across too many. Memorize ability sequencing, combos, and card synergies to utterly outplay enemies through superior champion proficiency.
So hopefully these Marvel Midnight Suns insights on crafting an elite hero roster proved helpful! Let me know which titan you plan to conquer the meta with. Together we shall smite vile Lilith back into the abyss!
