Alliance War - Team Counters

VIDEO ADVERTISEMENT

Intro

The most wanted information in Marvel Strike Force is what are counters for War Defensives team. When you choose a team that should challenge the existing defense you don’t want to know which team has the highest win percentage – instead, you want to know what team from your roster can beat the defense most efficiently. Most importantly, you want to know what alternate options in addition to well-known counters are.

War Season – Frightful Fight

The following teams will have bonuses (+30% on primary stats) while Attacking:

Liberty, A-Force, Mighty Avenger, Undying and Secret Warrior

You do not need to keep the full team together for these bonuses while Attacking.

The following teams will have bonuses (+30% on primary stats) while Defending when you keep the full team together:

Thunderbolt, Astral, Starjammer, Insidious Six, and Infestation

You need to use a full team of 5 characters with the same trait for these bonuses while Defending.

When using one of the specified teams for attacking, the members will receive a +30% boost to their primary stats, regardless of whether the team is complete or combined with other characters. In contrast, for Defense, the team must be fully assembled to gain the +30% bonus to primary stats. This distinction reduces the complexity of theory-crafting, as the specified teams in many cases will be fully intact in Defense to receive their bonuses and will not be mixed with additional plug-and-play characters. Consequently, this greatly simplifies the situation for attackers.

Global Rules:

On Turn, apply Assist Now to a random BRIMSTONE ally.
Rule for an Upcoming war team
Rule for an Upcoming defending War team
+20% Primary Stats to DEFENDING INSIDIOUS SIX and Upcoming team allies.
+20% Primary Stats to ATTACKING allies.
+30% Primary Stats to DEFENDING allies if all characters in the room are of one of the following traits: THUNDERBOLT, ASTRAL, STARJAMMER, INSIDIOUS SIX, or INFESTATION
+30% Primary Stats to ATTACKING allies with the following traits: LIBERTY, A-FORCE, MIGHTY AVENGER, UNDYING, or SECRET WARRIOR

On Turn, apply Assist Now to a random BRIMSTONE ally. Brimstone, which is already the strongest War team in the game, will become even stronger with this buff, as they’ll be able to assist each other (as long as the opponent doesn’t prevent Assists, of course).

Rule for an Upcoming war team.

Rule for an Upcoming defending War team.

+20% Primary Stats to DEFENDING INSIDIOUS SIX and Upcoming team allies. Insidious Six and one more new team (which hasn’t been revealed yet) will get an additional 20% stat bonus when used on defense. This means Insidious Six will be the only defensive team that, when used in full, can have a total of +50% to their stats.

All teams we use on offense will get +20% Primary Stats, so expect easier wins and potentially a more complete cleanup of opposing Helcarriers.

Explanation

The names of the teams for which I will suggest counters will be highlighted in Info Boxes. Below you will see the list of viable counters. At the Top of the page, you have a list of Teams and with a simple click on the team’s name, you will be instantly transferred to their list of counters with a brief explanation for each counter. Next to each counter team, you will see a symbol that represents possible Punch Ups.

Here is the list of symbols:

Absolute A-Force

Omen ▲▲▲
Brimstone ▲▲▲
Secret Warrior ▲▲▲
Liberty ▲▲ – 1
Absolute A-Force ▲▲ – 2
Gamma + Mephisto (no She-Hulk) ▲▲▲ – 3
Knowhere + Odin + Apocalypse (no Star-Lord (Annihilation) and Thor (Infinity War)) ▲▲▲ – 4
Gamma + Apocalypse + Morgan Le Fay (no She-Hulk and Abomination) ▲▲▲ – 5
Cabal + Mephisto + Ares ▼▼ – 6
Astral ▼▼▼ – 7

1 – The strategy is very simple. All opponents have Taunt, so you can choose who you attack. Avoid attacking Ms. Marvel (Classic) until you eliminate the other opponents. The exception is Falcon Joaquin (Special), which you should use on Kahhori, so if Ms. Marvel (Classic) is next to her then it is inevitable that you hit her. Captain (Sam) Ultimate also hits all opponents, so you can make an exception here as well because it will fill your entire team’s Speed Bar.

2 – One of the best counters for Absolute A-Force is Absolute A-Force. Your Kahhori passively, on Spawn, attacks the opponent Kahhori first, applies Exposed to her and prevents her from playing twice at the start. So the opponent Kahhori will only be able to use Special in her third turn. Focus on Ms. Marvel (Classic) until she loses Taunt. With Kahhori – twice Basic, then in her second turn – Special, with Ms. Marvel (Classic) – Ultimate. When the opponent Ms. Marvel (Classic) loses Taunt, switch your focus to the rest of the opponents. Kahhori’s and Medusa’s Ultimate can deal massive damage and eliminate most of the opposing team. After that, it’s all about bringing the fight to the end. Leave Ms. Marvel (Classic) for last.

3 – With Mephisto, play Empowered Basic on Ms. Marvel (Classic), and with Red Hulk use Special on her. You can use Special with Mephisto on his second turn. When Kahhori plays her Special, Red Hulk will get 5 Charged and will be able to use Ultimate, thus applying his Battlefield Effect to the opponent’s side. Opponents will have all negativities from Mephisto losing Empowered and Red Hulk Ultimate, but most importantly Heal Block, Trauma, and Bleed. After Mephisto plays his Ultimate – you’ll eliminate them without a problem. When Ms. Marvel (Classic) loses Taunt, focus on Kahhori. The Deathproofs you get from Mephisto’s Battlefield Effect and the Brawn’s Passive (as well as Deflects on Spawn) are essential for your team to withstand attacks. If Mephisto and Red Hulk are maxed, massive punch-ups are possible.

4 – Nova is a fast enough character to play after Kahhori and allows Odin to Assist him. After that happens, with Odin, when it’s his turn to play, play Special (if you’re not Ability Block). When you apply the Battlefield Effect on the enemy side, everything will become much easier. Huge punch ups are possible if Odin is Maxed – Especially if he is GT20 (but it doesn’t need to be). Apocalypse is there to passively increase Odin’s Health and Accuracy. And if he manages to play, to use Ultimate and Empowered Basic on Ms. Marvel (Classic). If he doesn’t make it, if he is killed before his turn to play, the fight may be delayed, but you eventually win.

5 – If your Morgan Le Fay and Red Hulk are solidly upgraded (at least level 100 and GT19), you can destroy the opposing Absolute A-Force team with this combination. A solid punch-up is possible (assuming Apocalypse is maxed), but do not try more than 25%. Red Hulk should be Raider, MLF Skirmisher, and Apoc Striker. MLF should be positioned next to Red Hulk. With Red Hulk, play Special on Ms. Marvel (Classic) which will fill Apocalypsi’s Speed Bar and enable him to play his Ultimate and Empowered Basic, thus eliminating Ms. Marvel (Classic). MLF will also get a Speed Bar, so she will play before Kahhori and we use Ultimate with her, which will apply Ability Block to Kahhori. So Kahhori won’t be able to use Special and cause us huge problems. Soon after Red Hulk will build up enough Charged to use his Ultimate and when we do, victory is upon us. Eliminate Kahhori first, then Medusa.

6 – Cabal, Mephisto, and Ares can get Absolute A-Force if it’s a weaker team than yours. Around 1.5 million punch downs is a good limit. With Mephisto, play Empowered Basic on Ms. Marvel (Classic), and focus on her from the start. When you eliminate her, focus on Kahhori.

7 – In case the opponent has a slightly weaker AAF team, Astral can successfully deal with them. Especially if the Overpower rating on your characters is higher than the opponent’s. Astral has strong mitigation and sustain, and they will withstand the opponent’s starting onslaught without problems. When it’s their turn to play, they will destroy AAF. No special tactics are necessary, but it needs to be a solid punch down – around 2 million.

Abosolute A-Force + Professor Xavier + Knull

Liberty + Quasar (no War Machine) ▲▲ – 1
Brimstone + Apocalypse (no Elsa Bloodstone) ▲▲

1 – Joaquin – Skirmisher, Quasar – Striker. Use Falcon (Joaquin)’s Special on Professor, and then use Quasar’s Ultimate on Professor. That should kill Professor Xavier. After that it’s easy.

Absolute A-Force + Super Skrull

Omen ▲▲▲
Brimstone ▲▲▲
Secret Warrior ▲▲▲
Hive-Mind + Knull + Mephisto (no Venom and Gwenom) ▲▲▲ – 1
Absolute A-Force ▲▲ – 2
Cabal + Mephisto + Ultimus ▲▲ – 3
Liberty ▲▲ – 4
Absolute A-Force + Black Knight + Super Skrull ▲ – 5

1 – With Mephisto use Empowered Basic on Ms. Marvel (Classic). With Knull, Red Goblin and Void Knight use Ultimates. Those 3 attacks should be enough to put at least one of the opponents in red HP, and you will get enough Speed Bar to continue destroying opponents. Focus on Ms. Marvel (Classic) and Kahhori.

2 – We are forced to attack Ms. Marvel (Classic) at the start, so don’t save Abilities, use them all, and your primary target is Ms. Marvel (Classic) until she loses Taunt. When that happens, use Ultimate with Kahhori, but attack the other opponents (do not touch Ms. Marvel), then do the same with Medusa. It will certainly eliminate some of the opponents if your Kahhori and Medusa are strong enough. Focus on opponent Kahhori, then Medusa and Skrull, leave Ms. Marvel (Classic) for the end.

3 – With Ultimus (he sould be Raider), use Special on the first turn, then Ultimate (you need to target Ms. Marvel (Classic) because she has Taunt). With Mephisto, Empowered Basic on Ms. Marvel (Classic). With Cabal characters, use all Abilities if you can (do not save anything). Focus on Ms. Marvel (Classic) first, then on Kahhori.

4 – Use the Falcon (Joaquin) Special on the Skrull and with Peggy Stun Kahhori. Focus on Kahhori and Skrull, then Medusa.

5 – We use this counter if we don’t have Wasp and Ironheart built high enough. Otherwise, the full Absolute A-Force team can get the job done. At the beginning of the fight, we attack Ms. Marvel (Classic), with Kahhori, then with Skrull (Basic or Special), and then with Black Knight (Special). This will provide Black Knight with Charged and he will be able to counter the opponent’s attacks. After that, focus on Ms. Marvel (Classic) and the rest of the opponents. When using any Ability that attacks multiple enemies (BK Ult, Kahhori Ult, Medusa Ult) try to hit as many enemies as possible, but avoid hitting Ms. Marvel (Classic) if she has Charged.

Absolute A-Force + Super Skrull + Dormammu

Omen ▲▲▲
Brimstone ▲▲
Hive-Mind + Knull + Mephisto (no Venom and Gwenom) ▲▲▲ – 1
Liberty ▲▲ – 2
Cabal + Mephisto + Ultimus ▲▲ – 3
Secret Warrior ▲
Absolute A-Force ▲ – 4
Absolute A-Force + Black Knight + Super Skrull ▲ – 5

2 – Use the Falcon (Joaquin) Special on the Skrull and with Peggy Stun Kahhori. Focus on Kahhori and Skrull, then Medusa.

3 – With Ultimus (he should be Raider), use Special on the first turn, then Ultimate (you need to target Ms. Marvel (Classic) because she has Taunt). With Mephisto, Empowered Basic on Ms. Marvel (Classic). With Cabal characters, use all Abilities if you can (do not save anything). Focus on Ms. Marvel (Classic) first, then on Kahhori. Mephisto will prevent Revives.

4 – We are forced to attack Ms. Marvel (Classic) at the start, so don’t save Abilities, use them all, and your primary target is Ms. Marvel (Classic) until she loses Taunt. When that happens, use Ultimate with Kahhori, but attack the other opponents (do not touch Ms. Marvel), then do the same with Medusa. It will certainly eliminate some of the opponents if your Kahhori and Medusa are strong enough. Focus on opponent Kahhori, then Medusa and Skrull, leave Ms. Marvel (Classic) for the end. Medusa can permanently kill opponents with her attacks, and it will neutralize Dormammu’s Revive. Also, any opponent you apply Exposed on with Kahhori will not be able to Revive.

5 – We use this counter if we don’t have Wasp and Ironheart built high enough. Otherwise, the full Absolute A-Force team can get the job done. At the beginning of the fight, we attack Ms. Marvel (Classic), with Kahhori, then with Skrull (Basic or Special), and then with Black Knight (Special). This will provide Black Knight with Charged and he will be able to counter the opponent’s attacks. After that, focus on Ms. Marvel (Classic) and the rest of the opponents. When using any multiple enemies hit Ability (BK Ult, Kahhori Ult, Medusa Ult) try to hit as many enemies as possible, but avoid hitting Ms. Marvel (Classic) if she has Charged. Medusa can permanently kill opponents with her attacks, and it will neutralize Dormammu’s Revive. Also, any opponent you apply Exposed on with Kahhori will not be able to Revive. Also, any opponent Black Knight kills with his counters or Special or Ultimate is permanently dead.

Absolute A-Force + Odin

Omen ▲▲▲
Brimstone ▲▲▲
Hive-Mind + Knull + Mephisto (no Venom and Gwenom) ▲▲▲ – 1
Liberty + Mephisto (no War Machine) ▲▲ – 2

1 – Mephisto – Empowered Basic on Ms. Marvel (Classic), and on his second turn Basic on the same target. With Void Knight use Ultimate, with Knull – also Ultimate. With Carnage Special, and with Red Goblin Ultimate. Even before we do all these attacks, we will lower at least one of the opponents to red HP, so we will get a bunch of Speed Bar and play constantly until we eliminate them all.

2 – Use Mephisto’s Empowered Basic on Odin, then hit him with a Basic attack. Target Kahhori with Falcon’s (Joaquin) Special. Use the Special with Peggy and also target Kahhori.

Absolute A-Force + Mephisto + Super Skrull

Omen ▲▲▲

Undying ▲▲▲
Liberty + Knull ▲▲ – 2
Liberty + Mephisto ▲ – 3
Secret Warrior ▲

2 – With Falcon (Joaquin) use the Special on the Skrull. With Peggy Carter – Special on Kahhori. With Knull – Special on Kahhori. With Captain (Sam) use Ultimate, and with Patriot – Special. After Kahhori, focus on Mephisto then Skrull then Medusa. Leave Ms. Marvel (Classic) for the end.

3 – At the start, we focus on Kahhori. Mephisto Empowered Basic plus Basic, Peggy Special, Falcon (Joaquin) Special. Everything on Kahhori until we kill her. In the second Peggy turn, it is important to target Mephisto and use the Ultimate (to apply Ability Block on him and prevent him from using his Ultimate). After eliminating Kahhori, we focus on Mephisto, Skrull, and Medusa. We leave Ms. Marvel (Classic) for the end.

Absolute A-Force + Odin + Super Skrull

1 – Use Mephisto’s Empowered Basic on Odin, then hit him with a Basic attack. Target Skrull with Falcon’s (Joaquin) Special.

2 – Use Mephisto’s Empowered Basic on Ms. Marvel (Classic), then finish her with Ultimus Ultimate. After the kill, Ultimus through his Passive, fills Speed Bar by 15% to all his allies, and your Apocalypse will play before enemy Odin. Kill Odin with Apocalypse Ultimate + Empowered Basic.

3– Use Facon’s (Joaquin) Special targeting Super Skrull, then full focus on Odin, but do not have him as the primary target when using Peggy’s Special (Odin should be one of the adjacent targets).

4 – With Ultimus, play Basic on his first and second turns targeting Ms. Marvel (Classic). On his third turn, go for the kill – use the Ultimate. After that, focus on Odin.

5 – Use Ultimate with Scientist Supreme and Special with Nimrod. Ultimate with Quasar will take off the Taunt from Ms. Marvel (Classic). Then with Omega Red (Phoenix Force) use Special – target Odin. After that, finish off Odin, then switch your focus to Kahhori and Medusa. Leave the Skrull and Ms. Marvel for the end.

2 – Start by using Ultimus’s Ultimate on opposing Knull, he will apply Ability Block on Mephisto. Focus on Mephisto. With Joaquin use Special on enemy Skrull. With Peggy use Special on Kahhori. With Knull and Sam use Ultimates. Enemy Knull and Mephisto should be dead. After that avoid targeting Ms. Marvel (Classic) if she has Counters or Charges. Focus on controlling Kahhori and killing Skrull, and try to do as much damage as you can on Ms. Marvel (Classic) while she is out of Charge/Counters.

Liberty + Knull (no War Machine) ▲▲ – 1
Absolute A-Force + Mephisto + Knull (no Ironheart and Wasp) ▲ – 2

1 – With Falcon (Joaquin) we use Special on Skrull, and if there is Medusa instead of Skrull, then on Kahhori. With Peggy Special on Kahhori, with Cap (Sam) use Ultimate, and with Patriot Special. Focus on the opponent’s side opposite from where Ms. Marvel (Classic) stands. Try not to hit her. With Knull, use the Special on the first turn. Mephisto must be eliminated before he can use his Ultimate. Don’t be afraid to drop Thanos (Endgame) below 50% HP. Leave Ms. Marvel (Classic) for the end.

2 – We focus on Ms. Marvel (Classic) from the very start until we eliminate her. 2 Basic attacks with Kahhori, Empowered Basic and Basic with Mephisto, Ultimate with Knull, and Special with Medusa. Opposing Mephisto, can’t be in his Empowered state at the beginning of combat, which makes the fight much easier. After we eliminate Ms. Marvel (Classic) we focus on the rest of the enemies. An easy fight, for which we still need a very strong team.

Kahhori + Ms. Marvel (Classic) + Spider-Man (Pavitr) + Red Goblin + Carnage

Omen ▲▲▲

Mighty Avengers ▼▼ – 1
Undying + Mephisto ▲▲ – 2
Absolute A-Force ▼▼ – 3

1 – Use Hercules’ Special on Ms. Marvel (Classic) to remove all her buffs and, most importantly, all her Charges. After that, focus your attacks on Kahhori until your Invisible Woman gets a turn. When she does, use her Ultimate on Ms. Marvel (Classic) to Stun her, allowing you to defeat her without worrying about her countering and gaining more Charges. Once Ms. Marvel (Classic) is eliminated, the battle is essentially won. Your next main target should be Kahhori, and that’s it.

2 – Use Mephisto’s Empowered Basic and standard Basic attacks on Ms. Marvel (Classic). If she survives, continue to focus on her until she is defeated. Once she is down, shift your attention to Kahhori for an easy victory.

3 -Focus entirely on Ms. Marvel (Classic) until she loses her Taunt, then shift your attention to Kahhori. Other opponents will be eliminated by your area-of-effect attacks. Don’t hesitate to use any of your abilities. Once Kahhori is defeated, finish off Ms. Marvel (Classic).

Kahhori + Ms. Marvel (Classic) + Odin + Knull + Dormammu

Omen ▲▲▲
Brimstone ▲▲▲
Undying ▲▲▲
Liberty + Mephisto (no War Machine) ▲ – 1
Cabal + Ultimus + Odin ▲▲ – 2

1 – Start by using Maphisto’s Basic attack on Odin, followed by Mephisto’s Special attack on Odin. Then, Falcon (Joaquin), uses his Special target the enemy character next to Odin. Next, Peggy should use her special attack on Kahhori. Use Cap (Sam)’s Ultimate, and have Patriot use his Special. Save Ms. Marvel (Classic) for the end.

2 – At the start of the fight, focus on Ms. Marvel (Classic) since she has Taunt. With Ultimus, begin by using the Special move, followed by the Ultimate. For each subsequent attack with Ultimus, use the Basic move. For Cabal characters, follow this sequence: Iron Patriot – Special, Namor – Ultimate, and The Leader – Special. These attacks, along with various assists from Cabal characters and continuous assists from our Odin, will be enough to eliminate Ms. Marvel (Classic) twice (because of Dormammu, she has Revive). Once she is defeated, immediately shift your focus to the opponent’s Odin. You’ll be able to eliminate him before it’s his turn to play. Use the Special with your Odin. After that, it will be 5 vs 2. Control Kahhori and eliminate Knull and her.

3 – Focus on Sasquatch until it loses Taunt, then switch your focus to Northstar and Guardian. Use all available Abilities. Stun Wolverine with Captain Britain.

Quasar + Ares + Odin + Havok + Storm (Quasar needs to have his Awakened Ultimate) ▲▲▲ – 2
Quasar + Jean Grey + Storm + Apocalypse + Songbird (Quasar needs to have his Awakened Ultimate) ▲▲▲
Quasar + Jean Grey + Storm + Professor Xavier + Songbird (Quasar needs to have his Awakened Ultimate) ▲▲▲
Absolute A-Force + Professor Xavier + Knull ▲▲

1 – With Quasar, use his Ultimate but be careful not to hit Odin; instead, try to hit Professor X. Professor doesn’t need to be the primary target, but Odin should not be hit by Quasar Ultimate at all. When Odin uses his Special, he won’t be able to apply the Battlefield Effect because Quasar will have already applied his.

With Mephisto, use the Empowered Basic attack on Odin. For Phoenix, make sure to use her Special, and for Ares, also use his Special, targeting Professor X. Once you eliminate Professor X, your primary target will be Odin unless he is defeated before you eliminate Professor.

Be cautious not to take Thanos (Endgame) below 50% before Phoenix dies and can use her Dark Phoenix Special. Alternatively, you can defeat Thanos with Quasar’s Special. Avoid using Ultimates until Professor X is defeated. When Dark Phoenix drops Thanos’s (Endgame) health below 50% with her Special, it won’t trigger his Passive.

2 – At the start with Storm, use her Special on Gorr. For Quasar, use his Ultimate, ensuring you target all three Annihilators if possible. If not, it’s acceptable to hit Professor X but avoid hitting Odin. When using Havok, target Professor X with his Special. Havok should be set as a Skirmisher to significantly reduce the chances of Professor X resisting Stun.

For Odin, use a Basic attack. Shortly after, the opposing Professor X will be defeated by Odin’s passive damage, so focus on the opposing Odin. Even if you don’t eliminate him before he plays, you should still win, as the opponent’s Odin cannot apply his Battlefield Effect. Be aware of the passive damage from Thanos (Endgame), but you should be able to survive. If Storm survives to use her Ultimate, that’s an added advantage.

3 New Annihilator + Odin + Ares

Brimstone ▲▲▲
3 New Absolute A-Force + Apocalypse + Red Hulk ▲▲ – 1
Liberty ▲▲ – 2
Liberty + Mephisto (no War Machine) ▲▲ – 3
Nightstalker + Mephisto (no Moon Knight) ▼▼ – 4
Orchis + Mephisto (no Omega Sentinel)▼▼ – 5
Undying + Odin ▲▲▲ – 6

1 – With Kahhori, use the Basic on Gladiator to remove his Taunt, then use the Basic on Ares to remove his Immunity. Use Medusa’s Special and Ms. Marvel’s (Classic) Ultimate to attack Odin. With Kahhori, use the Special, and with Red Hulk, also use the Special – but target a different character since you cannot rewind Odin’s Speed Bar. With Apocalypse, use the Ultimate, followed by the Empowered Basic on Thanos (Endgame) to avoid taking passive damage from him.

2 – With Falcon (Joaquin), use Special on Gorr to reduce his Speed Bar. This will allow Odin to act before all the other opponents. Odin will use his Special, but won’t apply the Battlefield Effect since he hasn’t had a chance to assist before his first move. With Peggy, use her Special on Ares, and then focus on Odin as your primary target. All other characters should also concentrate on Odin. Use Captain Sam’s Ultimate, Patriot’s Special, and War Machine’s Special to deal damage. If your three new Liberty characters are GT20 (specifically if their Overpower rating is higher than the opponent’s), you should have enough damage to eliminate Odin before his turn. If you don’t have an advantage in Overpower, this counter-strategy is not recommended (but still can work). Once Odin is eliminated, the rest of the battle will become much easier.

3 – With Mephisto: Empowered Basic and Basic on Odin, with Falcon (Joaquin): Special on Gorr, with Peggy: Special on enemy next to Odin. After Patriot Special and Captain Sam Ultimate Odin should be eliminated. After that finish the rest. Focus on Gorr first, and try to leave Thanos (Endgame) for the end.

4 – This counter works best if your Blade and Oath have a higher Overpower ranking compared to the opponent’s Gladiator and Odin. Start by using Mephisto’s Empowered Basic attack along with his standard Basic attack on Gladiator. With Blade, use his Ultimate ability on Ares (especially if Ares is positioned next to Gladiator – that’s an ideal scenario). Once you’ve taken down the two opposing protectors, shift your full focus to Odin. If you have the Overpower advantage, you should be able to defeat him before he gets a chance to act. However, we don’t recommend using this counter if you lack the Overpower advantage mentioned above.

5 – This is an ideal counter to use if your Orchis characters have a higher Overpower rating compared to the opponent’s Odin and Gladiator. Start by using Mephisto’s Empowered Basic followed by a Basic on Gladiator. With Scientist Supreme, activate her Ultimate. Use Nimrod’s Special ability to target all enemies, and then use Lady Deathstrike’s Special or Basic ability to attack the remaining opponent with Taunt (either Gladiator or Ares). When using Sentinel, activate his Ultimate on Odin and have his minions focus their attacks on Odin as well. This should be enough to eliminate Odin. Afterward, concentrate on defeating the remaining opponents. However, we do not recommend using this counter strategy if your Orchis team does not have an Overpower advantage over Gladiator and Odin.

6 – Use Hela’s Minion (Greg) to attack Gladiator or Ares with his Special. This will reduce the Speed Bar of all opponents except Odin, allowing the enemy Odin to take the first turn. The enemy Odin will use his Special, but he won’t apply his Battlefield Effect because he didn’t assist. Next, use your Odin’s Special. Since your Odin already assisted when Greg attacked, your Odin will successfully apply the Battlefield Effect to the enemy side. This gives you a strong advantage that will be difficult for the opponent to overcome. Thanos (Endgame) can deal significant passive damage when we reduce him below 50% HP, but he won’t be able to eliminate your team. The enemy Odin will eventually use his Ultimate, causing serious damage, but he still won’t apply the Battlefield Effect to your side because he used his Ultimate instead of his Basic attack. With the rest of your team, focus all attacks on the opposing Odin. Once you take him out, you should have no trouble securing victory.

Secret Warrior ▲▲

1 – Start with Void Knight’s Ultimate, then use Carnage’s Special. You need to target the Gladiator because he has the Taunt. With Knull, use his Special first, as it will summon an extra Carnage and give you a significant Speed Bar boost when you bring any opponent’s health down to the red zone. Knull’s next move should be his Ultimate ability. By this point, some enemies should be defeated, and others should have low health. Be cautious of Thanos (Endgame) and his passive damage, as it can create a challenging situation. However, as long as at least one Carnage, Knull, and one other character are still alive, you should be able to win this easily. If your Hive-Mind characters are weak, consider swapping out Gwen for Odin. With Odin on your team, victory becomes much simpler.

2 – Ares is mainly there for his passive abilities. After Ultimus and Gorr take their turns, Ares will most likely be defeated. The key point for you is to ensure that Old Man Logan (OML) gets his turn. Ares will strip all buffs from the enemy team, allowing you to Stun Thanos (Endgame) with OML right at the start of the battle. Focus on taking down Knull as your priority. Use Pandapool’s Ultimate and Daken’s Special, combined with OML’s assist and the damage from his Special, to eliminate Knull quickly. With Deadpool you can Stun Gladiator and after that focus on Gorr and Thanos (Endgame). When Thanos (Endgame) deals passive damage, it’s crucial that both Daken and Old Man Logan have Revive available to sustain the fight.

3 – This is an easy fight for this team. Start with Skrull by using his Special, followed by his Basic attack. For Odin, use his Special. When Gladiator loses Taunt, shift your focus to Knull. While Phoenix Force and Doom aren’t crucial, it’s still helpful to have them on your team (though Doom might end up dying from friendly fire). Make sure to include one additional Hero and two Villain characters alongside Skrull and Odin.

4 – Songbird’s Ultimate, Taskmaster’s Ultimate, and Hyperion’s Special should be used on Gladiator. Additionally, Victoria Hand’s Ultimate should be used on Knull or any character adjacent to him.

Orchis + Mephisto (no Omega Sentinel) ▼▼ – 4

1 – With Mephisto – Empowered Basic + standard Basic on Odin. With Falcon (Joaquin) – Special on character next to Odin. Odin should be dead, if not – finish him off. After he dies, feel free to drop Thanos (Endgame) below 50% HP to trigger his Passive, and then finish off the opponents.

2 – With Kahhori use Basic on Gladiator, then Basic on Odin, then Special on Odin. After that focus on Odin: Medusa Special, Ms. Marvel (Classic) Ultimate, and Ironheart Special on target next to Odin if he has really low HP, or Basic directly on Odin if he has a bit more HP – he should be down. With Wasp, you can Stun Gladiator (Special). After that trigger Thanos (Endgame) Passive, and finish the enemies.

3 – With Mephisto use Empowered Basic and Basic on Gladiator. With Blade use Ultimate on Gladiator. If your Mephisto and Blade are huge (especially if Blade is GT20 and opponent Gladiator is not GT20), he should be dead. Then switch your focus to Odin. With Oath using Ultimate on Odin, and with assistance from Blade it can kill him if he is GT19 and Blade + Oath are GT20 (and they should be because they are great for Xavier Saga). After Odin is down, finish the rest. So, basically, this counter can work without problems if your Blade and Oath are GT20 and opponent Odin and Gladiator are not.

4 – Here’s the sequence: Mephisto – Use Empowered Basic and then Basic on Gladiator. Scientist Supreme – Use her Ultimate. Nimrod – Use his Special. Lady Deathstrike – Special or Basic on Gladiator, depending if the enemy next to him is dead or alive. If there is no one next to him, use Basic. Gladiator should be defeated after this. Then, focus all attacks on Odin until he is down. He would have around half of HP, and you can finish him with Sentinel Ultimate and Minions. Once Odin is defeated, finish off the remaining enemies.

1 – With Iron Man (Zombie), use Special on Emma Frost (X-Men), and with Hela Ultimate on Emma Frost (X-Men). You will spread every negativity from her to the rest of the Astral team – most importantly Ability Block. With Omega Red (Phoenix Force), use a Special on the far left or far right opponent. With Juggernaut (Zombie), use the Ultimate to hit three opponents standing next to each other.

2 – Ideal Iso-8: Kang – Striker, Apocalypse – Striker, Namor – Raider, The Leader – Skirmisher, Iron Patriot – Striker. With Kang, use a special so that one of the three targets he hits is Shadow King, but if Kang is Striker Emma Frost (X-Men) can’t be your primary target. With Apocalypse Use Ultimate targeting Emma Frost (X-Men). He will Stun her with an Iso-8 attack. Use Empowered Basic on the Shadow King and eliminate him from the fight. After that don’t let other opponents play, reduce their Speed Bar with Namor Ultimate. Focus on the Ancient One and Doctor Strange.

1 – With Silver Sable, use Ultimate. That will put Ability Block on Strange and Emma (X-Men), so with Hit Monkey, we can use Ultimate on Ancient One to Stun her. With Daredevil (Modern), we use Special on Strange, and with Punisher Ultimate on Shadow King (if Punisher does not have Ability Block). Eliminate Strange first, then Shadow King and the rest of the opponents.

2 – Don’t save anything of Abilities. Focus on Doctor Strange first, then Shadow King. Cosmic Ghost Rider will die from AOE damage. Finish Emma and Ancient at the end.

3 – Use Panda’s Ultimate and target Shadow King. With OML, use the Special to target Strange. You might not succeed in Stunning him, but that’s okay. With Apocalypse, use both the Ultimate and Empowered Basic abilities to target Shadow King. With assistance from OML, Shadow King should be eliminated. Then, focus on Strange using OML’s Ultimate and Daken’s Special. Once Strange is defeated, finish off the remaining enemies.

4 – Focus on Strange from the beginning. Do not hesitate to use any Abilities. Once Strange is eliminated, switch your focus to Shadow King. If you have some of the Liberty characters at Overpower Rank 11 (at least Peggy) and the opposing Astral team does not, then this will be a very easy fight for you.

5 – With Mephisto, use Empowered Basic plus standard Basic on Shadow King, then continue focusing on him with other characters. Once he is eliminated, switch your focus to Ancient One and Emma Frost (X-Men). Leave Strange for the end because he can’t revive anyone while Mephisto is present. Cosmic Ghost Rider will die from AOE damage.

When facing a standard Brimstone team, it’s important to include Emma Frost to reduce their Speed by 10%. You’ll also want a character who can prevent their Speed from increasing, such as Franklin, Zombie Scarlet Witch, or Emma Frost (X-Men). Additionally, it’s helpful to have a fast character who can control the enemy team, like Black Cat, Havok, or Storm.

Ares can also be very useful, as he can remove Taunt from Living Mummy, allowing you to control the Daimon Hellstrom right from the start. Black Cat is especially valuable because she can remove Revive Once from Living Mummy—so if you bring her, you won’t need Ares for that purpose.

This means you don’t need to use Mythic characters like Professor X, Odin, or Mephisto when facing a full Brimstone team. However, be aware that Quasar is a bad choice against Brimstone, as he prevents any Speed stat manipulation, making Emma Frost’s passive ability ineffective.

2 – Use Black Panther (Shuri)’s Special on Franklin. Use Songbird’s Ultimate. With Storm, use her Special on Invisible Woman (MCU). For Quasar, use the Special on Professor Xavier if he has more than 40% HP—if he has less, use the Ultimate instead. With Ares, use Ultimate on Mr. Fantastic (MCU).

1 – Use Songbird’s Ultimate, use Black Cat’s Special to stun Franklin. With Quasar, use the Ultimate ability and aim at Professor Xavier. Once Xavier and Franklin are eliminated, shift your focus to Odin.

2 – To ensure success in this scenario, assign Skirmisher to Franklin and Striker to Invisible Woman (MCU). Your IW should ideally have 1-3 diamonds for optimal results. A 6 or 7 Red Star Invisible Woman (MCU) is capable of handling the situation if the opposing Professor is at 5 Red Stars or less.

Begin by using Black Cat’s Special ability to stun the enemy Franklin. Next, with your Franklin, utilize the Ultimate ability and target the enemy Professor. Follow up with IW’s Special ability directed at the enemy Professor, which should eliminate him. If successful, the rest of the battle should proceed smoothly. However, if the enemy Professor survives, luck will play a role, and your Professor must act before theirs to turn the tide in your favor.

1 – Use Black Cat’s Special to Stun Franklin. Activate Songbird’s Ultimate for maximum impact. With Quasar, avoid hitting Thanos (Endgame) prematurely to prevent triggering his Passive ability when his HP drops below 50%. Instead, hit 3 enemies on the other side with his Ultimate. Finally, Apocalypse’s Ultimate, followed by Empowered Basic attacks, is used to finish off Thanos (Endgame) effectively.

2 – Sasquatch is there solely to endure Mephisto’s initial attack, as targeting OML or Pandapool could lead to everything falling apart. Use Pandapool’s Ultimate and target Franklin. Old Man Logan (OML) will assist, fill his Speed Bar, and play after him, and most importantly, before Franklin or IW (MCU). So use his Special, making sure to target Franklin again. Then, use Knull’s Special ability. Once OML plays his Ultimate, the fight should become manageable, allowing you to finish it successfully.

Because of the Passive damage that Peggy can do and the certain damage that you will definitely receive from the Falcon (Joaquin) at the beginning of the battle, take into account the Overpower level of the Liberty team. If they have a higher Overpower level than your characters, the fight can become unpredictable.

In all of these fights (whichever counter team you use) focus on Peggy Carter first. Once you eliminate her, your next target should be Falcon (Joaquin).

1 – To execute the counter effectively, use Ultimate with Songbird. Activate Storm’s Special, specifically targeting Falcon (Joaquin). Employ Jean’s Special, targeting Peggy. Deploy Quasar’s Special to impact three enemies simultaneously. Conclude by defeating Professor using Apocalypse’s Ultimate, followed by an Empowered Basic attack.

1 – Black Cat should be a Skirmisher, while Franklin and Invisible Woman (MCU) should be Strikers. Use Black Cat’s Special ability and target Professor Xavier. Then, use the Special abilities of both Franklin and Invisible Woman (MCU), also targeting Professor Xavier. This should be enough to take him out. Once Professor Xavier is defeated, the rest of the fight becomes much easier.

Thunderbolt ⊜

1 – This is more than just a good counter. Don’t hold back any abilities—focus on Daredevil (Modern) right from the start because he has Taunt. With Falcon, use his Special ability first, then follow up with his Ultimate. It’s an easy fight for the Mighty Avengers.

2 – Your Silver Sable can reduce the duration of all positive effects on opponents, while their Silver Sable cannot. This is because Silver Sable’s ability to do so only works when used on offense and with a full Vigilante team. This allows you to remove most of the positive effects from your opponents, giving you an advantage. Focus on taking out Silver Sable and Hit Monkey first, followed by Daredevil (Modern) and Punisher. Save Elektra for last.

Conclusion

The list of Counters we provided will be updated and improved constantly. At the moment we have only the most important Defense Teams mentioned, but as time passes, we will add all teams along with their counters (including teams that are specifically meant only for offense).

If you have your insights and ideas, please share them with us so we can make the best possible list of Counters. The idea is to present teams that can win with the greatest Punch up, so everyone can make their roster effective.

With every new update, this list will be improved and increased. Do not hesitate to contact us and help us in our goal to make MSF easily playable for the entire community. Thank you in advance!
