There are 12 Midnight Suns characters, and although you may make finest pals with all of them by way of the numerous hangouts and conversations that punctuate the marketing campaign, you will face harder decisions placing collectively a three-hero kickball workforce that may defeat Hydra.
You may wish to use every of Midnight Suns’ heroes on at the least just a few missions with a view to unlock and improve a few of their playing cards, notably heroes like Wolverine and Ghost Rider who’ve less-than-great beginning decks.
A few of these characters are unlocked later within the marketing campaign, so we have positioned these in a particular “spoiler” part on the finish if you wish to protect these reveals (which Midnight Suns telegraphs fairly strongly, for my part).
Sure characters play off each other higher than others, and what kind of mission you are dealing with is totally a consideration. However over the course of my 50-plus hours, I discovered essentially the most normal success on this workforce comp:
💪 A bruiser who has 2+ playing cards that inflict triple-digit harm on heavy enemies
🦸♀️ A help character who can set off highly effective standing results or forestall harm
🔀 A hero who both makes a speciality of knockback or clearing out zero-HP minions that arrive as reinforcements
Observe: For every hero’s “Finest card,” I am excluding Legendary playing cards that are clearly highly effective. You may most likely wish to run these it doesn’t matter what.
