I’ve really enjoyed The Mad Titan’s Shadow– but there’s more content I haven’t got to yet! As mentioned earlier Hela and Loki are the next two villains waiting if you can best Thanos and his super-powered mitten. Of course, you can just skip around and play each scenario as a standalone game if you want. The game feels very thematic with the obligations on point with the character. For example, Spiderman’s obligation is his eviction notice which ties in with the films and his character.

I really like the dual-use cards. You want to play just about every card you draw, but you have to give some of them up to pay for the ones that you need the most each turn. That makes each decision feel like it really matters… because it does. Use their alter-egos recovery ability to gain hit points (only in alter ego form, and exhausting their identity). Ultron is fun to face, but I don’t like that the heroes’ cards are used to represent his drones. It doesn’t make sense thematically and the fact that you have to discard the card after you defeat the drone means that you could be discarding a valuable card.

Aggression. As the name suggests, this is all about hitting the enemies hard and fast. Generally, aggression based Heroes are not great at thwarting and removing threat from a scheme. Subsequently, it is often a race against the threat build-up and taking the Villain downi also think Under Surveillance is a highly valuable card for him. it and Counterintelligence give you so much breathing room when you flip down. a b c "How Marvel Champions Differs From Other Living Card Games".

Villains included are Sandman, Venom, Mysterio, The Sinister Six, and Venom Goblin. [33] I’ve played Marvel Champions at every player count now and I think it’s best at two and three players. You get a good mix of hero skills to balance out your team at those counts and the games never feel too long (though some three-player games can run pretty long). Four-player games are still fun, but they can take 2+ hours and there seems to be quite a bit more downtime. Solo is good, too, but this one just feels like it should be played co-op.

She also has low base stats, so these different energy forms are crucial in your fight against Thanos and his mates. You can’t always choose exactly when to switch, but there are quite a few cards that give you the option and provide extra benefits when you do. Marvel Champions: 10 Hardest To Beat Enemies, Ranked".

I like that it affects the actions that you can perform and your hand size. Plus, you can pull off some pretty cool combos where you use cards that take advantage of the alter-ego’s ability and then switch to hero form and do some damage. It also gives you some control over how the enemies act each round, which works thematically. What I love about Marvel Champions is the way the Heroes and Villains play differently. The key to success is figuring out how the Heroes play. Their strengths, weaknesses, and how to best utilise them to take down the Villain. Certain Heroes require a certain amount of setup to become strong. These Heroes are best left in alter ego mode as you build up their suit, armour, and weapons. Once they are up and running they can be formidable characters. I feel like the rest is self explanatory as W-M’s cards are pretty straightforward. Get his upgrades out and do insane damage with his events.
