How All The Characters Work In Marvel’s Midnight Suns

Midnight Suns is Marvel’s newest approach to the video game world, a tactic RPG that visits the darkest corners of the Marvel Universe. The Hunter is assembling an unlikely team of superheroes and dangerous supernatural warriors to fight against the Mother of Demons’ apocalyptic threats. Do you know which characters are in the game and their strengths and weaknesses? That’s what this guide is here for!

Marvel’s Midnight Suns – How All The Characters Work

Here’s a list of the characters available at the game’s launch:

Spider-Man

The Friendly Neighbourhood Spider-Man is Midnight Sun’s most efficient Hero. While he will not deal tons of damage, he has the potential to do a lot with little to no cost.

His rapid-fire agility combined with Cards that allow him to perform area attacks, including environment attacks, without Heroism cost and adding more moves to the turn can be a game-changer when used wisely.

His THWIP! Card is also one of the best crowd control moves in the game, not only preventing targets to move but also removing their protection.

Captain America

The Pride of America is the juggernaut of Midnight Suns. While Cap has offensive moves (like his Legendary Card that converts Block to damage all enemies in a line), his major strength lies in defence.

He acts as a shield for the rest of the team, able to divert enemies’ attention to himself and absorb insane amounts of damage.

Blade

While Captain America’s focus is on defence, Blade is a killing machine! He easily alternates between his favoured katana and ranged weapons to deal vast amounts of damage.

He can also infect enemies with Bleed, which deals damage over time on enemies and heals himself. In short, Blade is your damage-heavy guy, but he doesn’t do a lot more, so you should take that into consideration when devising your strategy.

Scarlet Witch

Wanda Maximoff is the queen of area-of-effect damage! Her Cards can increase her AOE damage even more while also building up Heroism.

She can debuff enemies and grant resistance to allies, and one of her coolest Heroic abilities forces enemies to attack one another.

All of this done at a caster-friendly distance. The Scarlet Witch can also shroud herself in magic in case any enemy approaches, but you might want to consider placing a defender near her, especially in situations where Wanda will be crucial to your strategy.

Wolverine

Marvel’s hot-tempered Canadian is a tank who put his deadly claws to use in excellent melee chain-attack skills.

Wolverine can taunt enemies, diverting enemies’ attention to himself, making him a great damage mitigator as well as a damage dealer. His healing factor ensures he can survive the damage he bravely embraces, and there are many Cards that improve his healing powers.

Captain Marvel

Captain Marvel also fits into a tank role, but contrary to Captain America, her Binary Mode makes a good argument for playing her offensively.

This mode is activated after playing three Captain Marvel Card plays, and it doubles the damage of all her abilities! One Step Ahead is a Card you’ll want in your deck as it makes it easier to reach Binary Mode. Destroy the demons with cosmic energy!

Nico

Sister Grimm (Nico for friends) is a character who thrives on randomness. She can be a great defence by healing allies and dealing a lot of damage, but she cannot target the enemies she will affect.

She also has abilities to generate Heroism.

Ghost Rider

Ghost Rider can wipe out enemies, but there’s a catch: most of his Cards have a negative effect like stealing his HP or discarding random cards. This makes Ghost Rider a risk-reward character that demands more strategy to use well than most of the cast.

Additionally, he can regain health by consuming the soul of knocked-out enemies. But even that comes with a downside, so pay attention!

Doctor Strange

While Ghost Rider is a risky character, Doctor Strange is one of the safest. His aim is to enhance any team he’s in with buffs, resistances, and other utilities. And that’s not to mention his passive ability to generate Heroism at every turn!

Since Strange can work in any team, a good idea is to place a defender or damage mitigator close to him.

Magik

Magik’s portal generation powers allow her to crash enemies against one another, hitting more enemies in a single turn than most of the other characters can.

She can also shift enemies around the battleground, giving you opportunities to change and improve your strategy.

Iron Man

Iron Man is a jack-of-all-trades who can adapt to any enemy or situation thanks to his armour’s numerous weapons and gadgets.

He counts on abilities that benefit only himself and abilities that benefit the whole team. Keep in mind that his damage is increased by the team’s redraws.

The Hunter

Last but not least, the Hunter’s abilities will depend on each player since she can be customised to focus on damage, control, support, mitigation, or any combination thereof.
